It all looks good. I'll eventually post a diary once I get a few months in.

 

I tweaked the data slightly in my game. Nothing spectacular just minor game tweaks with 12 really obscure workers and one who it just made sense to tweak.

 

When people were using my list they skipped over 3 workers who I had plans for - Jinny Coture, Jessica Love & Estrilla Divina. All as part of my plan to represent diversity (Indian, Transgender and Drag Queen respectively). So I've made them available in Australia in my game so I can hire them somewhere along the track. None are particularly good but I just wanted to try to do something more expansive world wise.

 

I ended up with one of the 4 Brazilian workers I had listed so I just tweaked the other 3 so they can work in Australia if I go ahead with a Brazilian stable. One NXT girl, one TNA borderline girl and a enhancement talent from Mexico, again nothing special (although the girl from the Mae Young is kinda cute).

 

I added Xia Li, Zeda and Kavita Devi all of whom Fleisch is planning to add in future updates. Again diversity is the reason so that I can have the 2 Chinese girls and an extra Indian girl in game.

 

Added Mark Silva as an extra Australian (not sure if Fleisch is adding him right now). He's a fairly average big man but has worked as a announcer and colour in sports journalism and Australia has no announcers at all and one colour person so I gave him 30% on those 2 stats and he's there just in case my announcers die or something.

 

When I added Jessica Love to Australia I remembered she was Finnish but not her name - I ended up making 2 other Finnish females as available in Australia just for the sake of it (Aurora and Sara Elektra). Maybe I can do an angle with girls with outlandish hair (such natural shades of fire engine red and bright green they have)

 

I also made Maryse available in Australia given the Miz is now working there but since she is gainfully employed elsewhere I don't intend to hire her at this stage.

 

Oh in game the WWWA jut uses the default C-verse WWA Australia logo.

 

I start the game ranked number 3 in the world - Woo Hoo - with PCW clear number 1. Way to draft Southside. Dr. A's WWJ is 10th but has such a solid Japanese roster - the vagaries of the game mean that it's so Japanese centric that it doesn't have that cut through elsewhere. I'm considered only Regional again because of the games vagaries but am very close to Cult. I'm going to spend my money upgrading my network locally and hopefully with my strong coverage worldwide and my rosters solid pop everywhere I'll be able to grow. My hardest task will be navigating the early days.

<p><strong>@Dr_Avalanche</strong> WWJ ist doing well. At the moment they are on national level and the 9th best company based on importance. Still they are behind WRP but left RSW in the dust. </p><p> </p><p>

At the end of 2018 Shibata is Heavyweight Champion and KUSHIDA is Junior Champion.</p><p> </p><p>

DUSA has conquered PCW and is now the only company on international level. Steph and Shane are doing a great job. PCW is still a strong force but Paul Heyman cant get the maximum out of their Strong Style Product.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>Data looks good Uncrewed! Just noticed a few things with the PCW game I fired up. I can fix all on my playthrough, but if anyone else wants them I listed below.</p><p> </p><p>

1) PCW/Telemundo broadcast deal should be for PCW Premier Wrestling, not events</p><p> </p><p>

2) January event should be Wrestle Realm, not Wrestle Ream</p><p> </p><p>

3) PCW Southern Stars should have a year postfix</p><p> </p><p>

4) PCW New England Attack should have New England (USA) as a fixed location</p><p> </p><p>

5) All the SSWA titles should be set to be owned by the Strong Style Wrestling Alliance, not WWJ.</p><p>

Need to set all as "Owned By" = None, Alliance = Strong Style Wrestling Alliance</p><p>

(SSWA Heavyweight Grand Prix, SSWA King of Super Juniors, SSWA Queens Classic, and SSWA World Tag Battle)</p><p> </p><p>

6) Slight changes on PCW Titles from the data that I posted on page 11:</p><p>

PCW Heavyweight - Min Weight = Lightweight</p><p>

PCW Jr. Heavyweight - Focus = High Flying</p><p>

PCW Women's - Floating</p><p>

PCW Tag Team - Min Weight = Lightweight</p><p>

PCW Jr. Tag Team - Focus = High Flying</p><p>

PCW Women's Tag Team - looks good</p><p>

SSWA King of the Super Juniors - Focus = High Flying</p>

Will start my game when the new data gets put out tomorrow. I'm not surprised RSW got left behind in the initial save as the years went by, though. My roster definitely skewed older, and bad "time decline" rolls adding up could be disastrous!

<p>Okay minor set up issue that explains the possible lack of progress in other peoples games for WWAA. The two tv shows are set up but have not been put onto the network. That deal needs to be set up.</p><p> </p><p>

If you are setting it up in the data take 4.5M off the finances for WWAA and increase Australian coverage to Small as that's the first thing I did.</p>

I'm pretty open to different solutions, but my suggestion was that WWJ retain control of the Heavy and Women's titles and cede the Junior and Tag Team titles to PCW.

 

I guess that would mean two tournaments I won't be holding too, so if southside_hitmen confirms this solution you could replace those two events in the WWJ calendar with two generic PPVs called "Keys to the Empire" and "Firestorm". Each 3 hours long.

 

I'm good with this. I will take the Junior (defended in June) and Tag (defended in December). My events will stay as is for now.

 

Thanks!

Unrelated, this save has made me realize I don't know how to play this game. Like Tardelli I've run a watcher save, and at the first event, the AI books Omega vs Takagi which rates a 92. At the PPV at the end of the same month, KUSHIDA & Omega vs Okada & Shibata rates a 99. In the meantime, they have had a long run of 90+ matches.

 

Me, in the same period, never had a match get over a match rating of 83. Which tells me I'm doing something seriously wrong.

Yeah, the AI is crazy with their match scores.

 

Next draft, I need to look at Owner business settings more carefully. Heyman is set to be a bit a tightwad money wise and run a small roster, meaning in the 2 watcher sims I have done DUSA steals basically our whole main event when contracts come up. Lesnar, Punk, Bryan, KO, McGregor, Dragon Lee II all gone. They stole Okada as well from WWJ :(

 

Easily fixable if I am controlling as both DUSA and PCW make money hand over fist, but in sim land Shane O'Mac is a beast of an owner to go against.

 

EDIT - One final PCW note, PCW Big Sky Showdown should be 3 hours not 4

Hennigan? Really? Sometimes the AI does something kind of inexplicable. My draft strategy was once I got Cena load up with a bunch of guys who could realistically have decent programs with him. Hence The Miz, Hennigan, Matt Morgan, Braun Strowman, Cesaro, Raj Singh and Stu Bennett all being earlyish picks for me. How anyone other than Cena being champ occurs seems odd. The whole fed is set up for the guy to be the singles figurehead. Then I'd try to grow a face to replace the guy (I was hoping for Drew Galloway to perhaps grow into that role after an eventual face turn). It's just such a heel laden fed I would of thought the AI would just logically push the big face. Maybe you got a bad decline roll for Cena I guess. I love Johnny Mundo but him being the champ is just odd to me when Braun, Jericho, Cesaro & The Miz seem much more obvious heel choices.
