1994: Clash of The Titans

[Henderson]

<p>I'm mostly testing things out also as there are bound to be changes that will require a new save. I'll say I'm pretty disappointed my Hogan vs Flair match only got a B+ for some reason, yet they were both A* in their match....That, however, has nothing to do with the mod itself.</p><p> </p><p>

It is a good mod and I'm looking forward to diving into it further and more long term. It's a fun time period to start. It's more of a challenge to get used to the new version of TEW, as this is the first I've played it, as it is to get used to the mod itself.</p><p> </p><p>

Broadcasting does seem to be pretty in depth, which isn't all bad. I think the issue just happened that while PPV deals were set long term in place, somehow the TV deals were overlooked, causing them to expire after a day. It's pretty confusing because there is no definitive separation of TV and PPV deals like there was in '13.</p><p> </p><p>

The backstage events are really interesting....Hogan managed to get about 10 other people to have simmering tension with Jesse Ventura. I meddled in their business and managed to change their relationship and then Hogan goes and tests positive for soft drugs before Bash at the Beach.</p>

The AI really doesn't like Lightweight or Jnr Heavyweight belts. "<insert promotion> are replacing..." becomes fairly regular during week 2.

The company might carry 70-plus active wrestlers on the roster even if they only have a 2 hour weekly TV show. So its not really applicable except or maybe New Japan.</p>

Darn... I've restarted my ECW save three times, after applying different changes that I've read about in the thread to the DB, and it makes me sad that I have to start a fourth save when the update is out <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

[Gungner]

<p>Yeah, I changed the titles names in my ECW save... </p><p>

And this is also a minor thing, but ECW's titles weren't world titles until after they broke from the NWA in late august. So the titles should probably just be named: ECW Heavyweight, ECW Tag Team and ECW Television... </p><p> </p><p>

Again, a minor thing.</p>

[-laz-]

I also rename the titles, its a minor thing that doesnt effect the mod in any way.

[Gungner]

<p>If you're playing as the WWF, just delete the "championship" part from the titles names... </p><p>

Then it won't show up the way you described.</p>

[Hive]

I'd like to point out that the default data has lots of titles with the word <em>Championship</em> in them as well.

<p>Mark me down in the pro-Championship column.</p><p> </p><p>

I actually edit other mods to match this one. I like the completeness of it.</p><p> </p><p>

Not starting an argument, but what would you call the WWE/NXT championships now otherwise? Just "WWE" and "NXT"?</p>

[kdcastles]

Has anyone else played as WCW in this mod and been unable to renew their PPV contract with Time Warner? I keep getting a message saying Turner Broadcasting won't allow me to sign a contract with any PPV broadcaster because of clashing coverage.

[Gungner]

The thing with Time Warner is probably because they have higher production standards than you start with... Just up yours, or go into the editor and lower Time Warner's standards. And the reason you can't sign with another PPV provider, is likely because Turner Broadcasting owns Time Warner and WCW, and thus you can't negotiate with any other.

[kdcastles]

I appreciate the reply, but everything seems to check out there.

[Gungner]

Have you failed to meet their minimum requirement for show grades?

(I'm just throwing out the obvious here, but that could be it).

If not, then I'm blank... sorry.

[kdcastles]

No, Hive set the minimum to 0 so I'm all good there.

[Gungner]

Yeah, and judging by the answers on last few pages, that might be a problem.

The Broadcasters have a minimum based on the gameworld conditions (which are mentioned in the editor under broadcast deals), but the minimum is set to 0 for every show. It appears the game doesn't recognize 0 as a number really in that regard. I went in and changed every broadcast deal to their minimum expection, and I have no problem now whatsoever, even with WCW.
