Xenodracon Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This is the one stat I have yet to figure out how to increase on my wrestler. I'm sure it must be possible given that some of the guys in game have looks of 90 and the highest I've managed to create even with a sports entertainer with high natural charisma is something like 16. So can someone tell me what you have to do to increase your looks? Does it deal with muscle mass training or do I just have to increase my cost of living to afford some better clothes or something.

sinner13 Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Cant increase the Look stat. I think its kinda silly. You can change hairstyles, wear contacts, get tattooed, grow and change facial hair etc... in real life, and it greatly affects your look, but it doesnt in the game?

Cathcart Chiswick Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 This does kind of bother me -- because there's no way to get a really high look initially. As I write this, I'm trying to create a guy -- he's a giant. (Not sure what if any difference that makes.) 55% of his initial ability goes to charisma. Depending on what kind of wrestler he is, he has either a 12 or a 19 initial look. In other words, here is this guy -- 7'3", five hundred pounds, whatever -- and the Minor Annoyance looks more like a wrestler than he does. Which, okay, doesn't bother me too much initially. He needs to get experience, to learn to walk the right way or something. But you mean to tell me that, if this guy proceeds to wrestle for years, win the TCW World Title, whatever -- he is still not going to look like a wrestler? What [I]does[/I] he look like, then?

Rustee John Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Does it affect your chances of being a world champ in the game, if not its not the end of the world, I also noticed it i suppose its just luck of the draw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerguy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Your title chances are only affected by how good you are and where on the card you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plok Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I would argue it, but do looks even do anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenodracon Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 I would think they might affect interview segments to raise your popularity with the crowd, maybe that would get you better match reactions too. I dunno, I really wish the help files were a bit more specific as to what does what instead of trying to leave it up to the player to find it out.

sinner13 Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I dunno, would the Rock been The Rock, if say he been missing an eye, had a cleftlip and a unibrow? Im sure it has to do with overness in a fair amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spmkillie Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 totally agree... for future updates this is deff something adam should be thinking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enderw2 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 Suggestions for Look I think Look should play a bigger role in being signed up by certain promotions (particularly sports entertainment promotions) and also in how much you get pushed - so a superb technical wrestler with an extremely low Look should have less chance of being a Main Eventer in a Sports Entertainment promotion than say an average brawler with high Charisma, Microphone and Look. Just as in real life, assuming no "artificial" measures are taken to enhance or maintain a player's Look, it should peak sometime in the early to mid-30s and then start to decrease...this reflects the fact that you can't beat Father Time (compare Hogan and Flair today to how they looked in their 30s). Players should have the ability to increase Look artificially by (a) spending time each week doing things like tanning and shaving [you may think I'm kidding but how many pale and hairy guys do you see on WWE each week], which would be cheap but which obviously will eat into your time each week for training, etc, (b) paying for cosmetic surgery - very expensive, with a short recovery period but potential dramatic improvements and very low risk of negative side effects and (c) "the juice" (or whatever euphemism for steroids is acceptable to Adam and GDS), which take no time, have a very quick effect and obviously carries significant risk of negative side effects. I realise the latter may seem a bit controversial, but I am not suggesting that Adam/GDS would be encouraging players to use steroids - it would just be an option that players can take if they are willing to take the risk in return for using a short cut to success. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say this is a choice that confronts each aspiring pro wrestler in real life. If anything, Adam/GDS could be seen to be discouraging their use by making the risk of negative side effects (in the game of course) very high.

cyberkitten01 Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 I do really like the idea of a possibility in increasing your look however gradual. I agree that especially in Sports Entertainment feds, that look has gotten some wrestlers more over than they ever could have without them. I think Randy Orton gets along on looks and his surname more than his skill. The Rock certainly had a great look which helped his gimmick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroFalkon Posted December 20, 2004 Share Posted December 20, 2004 It can be a death sentence if it's too low, too. My guy has an 8 in Looks, so there's probably no chance I'll get anything but opener in a Sports Entertainment fed. Man, I need plastic surgery.
