Booking Between Pushes

[jalue2002]

I have been playing this game on and off since I purchased it. One of the biggest problems I have with booking is booking the pushes. What I mean is when should I book a Lower Midcarder against a higher push and when (if ever) a lower midcarder should win against a higher push?

I don't understand the confusion.

 

Just think about wrestling. Take any wrestling show as an example. The show isn't exclusively composed of main eventer vs main eventer or midcarder vs midcarder matches. Midcarders work against main eventers all the time and four things happen:

 

1. Main eventer beats midcarder in a nothing match to give the main eventer a win.

 

2. Main eventer beats midcarder but the midcarder looks like he can hang, getting him more popular. This is simulated in the game quite well.

 

3. Midcarder beats main eventer in an attempt to quickly get midcarder over. Reference Brock Lesnar's rise in 2002.

 

4. Midcarder beats main eventer in a fluke way, getting no one over. Reference Kidman vs Hogan in WCW.

It's all about who you want to rise up and down the card. If you're putting your lower midcarder over, that means you want that person to rise and become a midcarder or better. You'd do this to a top prospect or someone who has great star quality or I guess just someone you like! It's all your call!

<p>A few examples I can think of are:</p><p> </p><p>

1) The person you want to push can go over someone who is leaving for another company (great way to get someone over, without hurting anyone that matters to you!)</p><p> </p><p>

2) The person that is losing is in time decline </p><p> </p><p>

3) The person that is losing was a failed project (maybe not good enough ratings, or he is pop capped?)</p>

Thanks for the responses. I guess I was just over thinking it.

I you're playing for fun, obviously book whatever you want. If you're playing to get good ratings or to beat competition or whatever, look at your Next Big Things prospect list and those will be the guys who can get massively over, so those are the ones you have beat higher pushes.
