shipshirt Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wanted to start a Freebirds/Shield type three man team with Jay Chord, Bret Starr and was looking for a young brawler (preferably under 28 or so) who was also a good worker. Someone in the Heavyweight to Big Heavyweight range. I'm at a loss, though. Thought I would throw it out to the board for suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceisle Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Filtered the worker list based on your criteria, and Findlay O'Farraday is the only big guy available to hire at the start of the game who can work in the USA, is 28 or under, and is considered at least a 'Decent' in-ring worker and a 'Good' brawler. Using the 2014 data, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Findlay was the one I thought of but he has a thing about working for TCW for some weird reason. What about Bradford Peverell? Is he Lt. Heavy?

Iceisle Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What about Bradford Peverell? Is he Lt. Heavy? Yep, he'd be a good fit if Light Heavy is big enough. Didn't know that about Findlay and TCW, by the way. Thanks for the heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not near my game (hence the post) but I wonder if he'll bulk up. Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceisle Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm not near my game (hence the post) but I wonder if he'll bulk up. Hmmm... His max weight allows for it. I've actually never tried to get someone to do that though. Is there a chance that they'll still turn you down if they're able to add weight?

Bigpapa42 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The "increase size" request response seems to be relatively random. It also can backfire and drop his Star Quality. But its worth trying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayen Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Findlay was the one I thought of but he has a thing about working for TCW for some weird reason. That's odd as he is quite willing to work for TCW in my games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Are you sure he didnt open his own company first? He seems to always open PWMax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shipshirt Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Are you sure he didnt open his own company first? He seems to always open PWMax Oh interesting, I just never caught that. Yeah he did own PWMax in my former game. I started a new TCW game recently so maybe I'll give him a shot. Thanks guys! And yes, I've had people bulk up or drop weight. Most recently RDJ to drop some weight to improve his stamina a bit. But they can turn down the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they can turn down the request. Yeah, owners or bookers of smaller companies will usually turn down big companies. And whether people will bulk up or slim down seems to depend on, first, on whether they're even able to do so as set in the database. But you'll see that info in the screen you get before you can even ask 'em. Second, on whether you're their biggest employer. In my experience, they'll always blow you off if you aren't. And, third random chance. Though there might be other factors in play. I can sorta see why a worker with great flying skills would resist changing up, or why a worker who's mature and doing fine as a heavyweight or light heavyweight might resist shifting down. Personality might also have effects, for all I care. Or relationships. It'd seem sensible that someone who likes/is related to the booker and is Highly Loyal would be more likely to agree. But it'd take testing to actually figure out. No idea how complicated the code actually is. Chances are, only Adam could tell us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think age plays a factor too. Someone who is young seems to be willing to, as opposed to a worker who is getting up there in age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
