EBEZA Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 <p>Apologies for double-posting, but there were a few I missed that I wanted to respond to! <img alt=":o" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DatIsraeliGuy" data-cite="DatIsraeliGuy" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46313" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I sometimes use preset angles and not freestyle.<p> Crazy, I know.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I try to use as many preset angles as possible, and only freestyle when there really isn't a preset that covers what I'm trying to achieve. Freestyle angles feel like a cheat (just use each worker's best stat, give all a victory in the angle... it just isn't how it works. Some people have to lose momentum to gain it back) because they're so OP. I also never touch the editor. If someone doesn't want to sign with me, then it's up to me to play well enough to change their mind.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="lavelleuk" data-cite="lavelleuk" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46313" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Nearly all my feuds overlap too, it's rarely x v y, usually others get involved so there are fresh matches each week</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I almost can't help but this happening.

FankuKaibutsu Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 At the beginning of each save, I go through and shortlist everyone I have an interest in. Not just people I like, or want to sign, but people I kind of want to follow the careers of. It's exhausting. I also never, under any circumstances, give creative control in contracts. For those that imagine being their player character or imagine their in-game storylines while trying to fall asleep: I fall asleep imagining my character is retired and giving shoot interviews about the companies history.

Socko Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 Do TEW with my future wife and she helps me book some shows. She helps me make a real women's division. I can't book women to save my life. You are not alone here, friend! I do the same with my better half here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 I don't think this is necessarily totally unique. But I create matches just so they will show up in the show history. Started doing it when running tournaments. Nothing fancy- just a clone of a 1v1 match, but with "name" value and something like "Tournament" added to the name. So it shows in the show history as having been a Tournament match. Makes it much easier to track. Then I started doing it with puro companies that have Super Juniors, to differentiate those matches. I find that really helpful to make sure that the juniors are getting adequate matches on every card and not simply getting forgotten and lumped into multi-tags with the heavyweights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rone Rivendale Posted January 30, 2019 Share Posted January 30, 2019 <p>I don't do this anymore but:</p><p> </p><p> Change the name of each match from "person a vs person b" to "person a d. person b" and of course the left wrestler always wins.</p><p> </p><p> This way I can look back at past events and know who won. Eventually I figured out it was redundant since I was always giving the win to the left side so changing the text was just extra work.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titlebelt Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Ever since that guy a long time ago started an unfinished Tag Team League dynasty I've wanted to do one and have sandboxed around with tag-team only feds in various TEW versions. Usually all of the 100 experience teams and then a few favorites and a then just a couple of just randomly teamed up singles guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarK_RaideR Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Sometimes when playing bigger companies or Road to Glory saves, when I run into a worker's interview saying they love/hate openers or bigger/smaller opponents or suffer from pre-match nerves, I use the editor to add that info at the end of their bio.

Dave E Mac Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Whenever I release someone.

BrokenCycle Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 <p>Make 2 hour shows 90 minutes to simulate TV. The shows are 95 minutes long, a little less than an old Raw with an overrun. When I booked WCW 95 I turned off show times so I could book 45 minute shows too.</p><p> </p><p> I've always thought the game's simulation of the live experience, instead of TV, is pretty dumb.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeel1 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 <p>Basically ever since 2016 came out I've never really played the previous ones for any other reason but to look back on past games' title and match histories all nostalgically. Other than that, I keep them on my computer for one very rare occurrence that's somehow come up a few times with me; converting a mod from '08, then to '10, then '13 and finally to '16.</p><p> </p><p> I mean if you want a mod from way back when on a recent game what else are you gonna do? It's not that weird I guess but it's one of those things I feel kinda silly doing. Especially because I genuinely only redownloaded the '10 demo purely for this purpose, I didn't even have that one until I needed to do this... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
