fusionfx Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 I actually just had an 87 rated main event match between Rich Money and Lobster Warrior and the card had a total rating of 83 which is barely a B+. What would a good formula be for a PPV? And what's the deal on dark matches? Does it matter how many I have and who do I need to place in them? I'm thinking upper carders who don't have matches against lower midcarders, openers, and enhancement talent so they can increase their skills but I could be wrong.

Also is the 5 region gain in popularity the highest I can get after the WHFO PPV? Rickymex has the right of it. Your grade is gaining you popularity in Canada, not the US. Which is a step toward International. Its pretty tough to get really really strong grade with the SWF right out of the gates. As others have mentioned, it gets easier as your roster gains popularity as a whole. Re-running the same card is basically a waste of time if you aren't changing things. That isn't a bad way to learn about card placement, angle type grades, and even PST (if it was on). But if you are just running the exact same card over and over without adjusting stuff... the grades won't vary that much. In the early portion of this thread, there is some advice from myself and others on how to get solid grades with Supreme. That advice still bears true even on the database update. But keep your expectations realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I thought it was pretty fun to book Frehley, Remo and Vengeance just because they're not that great, and to keep Jack Bruce out of the picture for a little bit, because of the challenge. It's a great way to learn the product and your talent. But your shows definitely start clicking when Bruce is put into the main event, and then they really start clicking once you get Rich Money in some main storylines, and they REALLY start clicking when Gilmore gets over. But do not hotshot this because they're not all SWF has to offer. For example, would you ever think that Captain Atomic would be a guy to get to B+ popularity and improve to 80 psychology? That wouldn't have happened if I had just relied in Money and Gilmore throughout the entire year. Just go with the flow. That said, the product as a whole just gets better and better as you go on because people get over, and improve. Remo, for example, isn't exactly the most ideal main event guy, but in 9 months or so his psychology has improved to 80-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and another question: will any other tv networks accept me for a show besides CANN? If you lose international status while doing consistent B and B+ shows that don't lose pop in the US it's probably due to a region in Canada losing importance. Happens quite often in games where I play other than SWF. CANN and (maybe) smaller networks will accept a B-Shows but generally I stick with CANN due to their range. An A-Show will just add more stress to not losing popularity and the original roster is too weak in my opinion to support two A-Shows right out of the gate.

Manipulation Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I'm playing the 2014 data and I'm in September and I just got a A* 99 rated match between Bruce and Money, it's only my second A* match so far beating Faith vs. Remo for a 95 rating. I'm quite happy because I wasn't expecting it, their previous highest match was 93 I think, but it's bittersweet because it's soooo close a perfect match.

gord Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 What styles aren't good with SWF? I know MMA Crossovers don't work - any others? Puroresu? Can any of those styles be changed with a certain amount of time in developmental? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gord Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Any tips on getting a good match out of Bruce (100 pop) vs. Remo (91)? In running tests they usually get below an 80 and I'm lucky to get higher than that. It doesn't matter if I script or call in ring and the only other road agent notes are winner and open. The lack of psychology hurts and I get the note whether it's a 20-minute match or 5-minute match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 <p>It is a shame that Remo vs Bruce seems like the go-to feud in the company when they don't work that well together, but honestly it's not the psychology. Remo's lack of selling ability, and Bruce's time decline shouldn't be overlooked either.</p><p> </p><p> You need to inject someone else into the feud that can main event and lift the match (Rich Money). It's June 2014 Bruce and Remo have been feuding for over a year in my game and they've only been in two one-on-one matches. Oops. But both matches got B-'s, while triple threats and tag matches and such get the ratings expected.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
