JMDSII Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Based off Creative has Something for you,this time creative had nothing for you, and then you screwed up. This is the place that you have to talk about your worst creative/booking decisions and how you solved it if you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeemuFoundation Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I always start a game and have ideas for the main guys, and after a year or two, my whole midcard and lower hates me because I never use them. And when my main event scene ages, I'm screwed. Basically, what the WWE does. But then again, they're on guaranteed money making tens of thousands each, so I don't know what they're whining about, being paid to eat at catering. I wish I had that life.

Hive Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I usually plan out maybe 1-1½ years of PPV gametime in advance (roughly) with major title changes and such. Now, problems arive when wrestlers planned for major victories aren't as over as I had expected them to be and/or others being more over than I had expected, wrestlers hitting time decline sooner than expected, etc. - leading to poor matches and angry wrestlers... and of course, I'm usually too stubborn to abandon my plans...

Winter8905 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Erm.. worst creative decisions humm... one of them which occurred as WWF in the 1987 db in 1988 Bret was tag champ with Neidhart but also gained the IC title. Bret was pulling double duty for a while but ended up losing the tag titles. Jim Blamed him and turned on Bret.. resulting in a feud that resulted in Neidhart being the IC champion, defeating Bret in the rematch and having a 6 month reign full of mediocrity... getting low 70 ratings whilst Bret was floating around. :/ Instead of Bret ripping things up with he IC tile with 80'/90's we get Jim with 70's proving he didn't belong there and certainly wasn't going to be the next big monster for Hogan. ............... As a project in tha same save I tried to get a 40 something year old Johnny Saint over in the WWF :/ did not bode well at all.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I always screw up my midcard too, particularly if I'm in a performance-based promotion where you basically can't use angles to get people over. My current SWF game has people like Captain Atomic, James Prudence and Des Davids stuck in lower-midcard hell. Every time I look at them I promise myself that I'll do something with them, but it only takes me a week or two to forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMDSII Posted February 15, 2016 Author Share Posted February 15, 2016 Performance-based companies are also an issue to me,mainly in real world mods. I try to keep my roster small,but then i feel it's too small and hire my favourite guys,who either get stuck in midcard hell or are Main Eventers who are rarely used because I have better guys who can give me better ratings,then I feel that I don't have enough good guys and start hiring compulsively. 100-Man roster FTW. Quite Frankly,my big mistake of the week was losing Nick Jackson to NJPW during a multi-advance,who should be set to semi,but was full. Result?reDDragon are the Tag Champions and Matt Jackson ended up winning the PWG World title(When I put him in the match against Roderick Strong for the title the game had him win for whatever reason).At least he generaly gives me C to B- ratings with Paul London and Roderick Strong so yeah,Heath Slater(wich I "stole" from WWE) for Midcard Hell in PWG.Golden.

I usually have more fun running smaller companies because I always have a fresh main event scene. I get a core group of guys over and then they get poached by the big leagues. I elevate my mid card....rinse and repeat. Usually the second I hit Cult with a company I give the company to my youngest main eventer and start another small company. Biggest flub I ever done was attempt to book Joanna Silver as my World Champ in an intergender company I had running. She had the true Billy Gunn effect because I taught her to wrestle very well but she could not maintain pop to save her life. Result ended up being Brooke Tyler swooping in to save the company.

Tom Bombadil Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I had an accidental title change on the go-home show for my season finale. Had to change my planned main event to a triple threat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AfRoMaN36 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I made Dolph Ziggler gay. But not in a Rico sort of way. In an "empowering," overcoming hateful villains sort of way. It was a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a terrible idea. I did that with John Cena. And Randy Orton. Made them into a tag team of veterans wanting to teach them youngsters a lesson...In The Butt! It didn't work and they both got super pissed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
