UEWpro Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 For me, first discovering the game was exciting. At the time I kept searching for a sim pro wrestling business game and I eventually came across this. So playing the game was great, but then I figured out how to install a mod and I instantly fell in love with the 87 mod. Booking the WWF at their height (and all the fond memories I had of that time growing up) was a perfect fit. But that was all years ago. Now trying to think of storylines or ideas that would make sense and what I think would make money is exciting to me and keeps me playing. I recently started a stable in 1993. The million dollar man is slowing down but is still a good mouth piece. Plus he is decently popular, so I had to figure out a way to use him. I looked over my roster and noticed I didn't really have plans for the headshrinkers, razor and hhh. So I put everyone together with Ted as their mouth piece and i called them Greed. I pictured Dibiase in the middle of the ring cutting a Gordon Gecko type promo talking about how Greed is good. So now I went from having 4 guys on my roster who were just kinda there to now I cant stop thinking about how to use this group. I have so many ideas. Wrestlemania is next month and I'm going to have Bret Hart going over in the main event, but the next night on Raw, Bret is going to realize Greed is good. What excites you guys about the game? What ideas have you thought of that gets you addicted to the game even if its for just a short amount of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBEZA Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 <p>The Greed stable sounds cool! Could even put a twist on it where the Headshrinkers don't care for money, but their "greed" is for fresh victims, so as long as DiBiase keeps feeding them (maybe he personally hires local talents to get destroyed?), they help him? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> As for what excites me, it's two main things:</p><p> </p><p> 1. I love setting myself (or being set by others) challenges to complete within the game. This can range from selecting a user character completely at random and trying to roleplay them accurately, to reviving old diaries in the dynasty forum, to stealing rules from the "Give Me Rules For A Game" thread for myself! I nearly always play as booker to have the owner put some limitations on me and keep the game challenging, and that generally keeps me interested. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> 2. I love when things go wrong. At the exact moment I (for example) find out my only referee has died the day before a show, I hate it, but then I get my head down and come up with a plan to deal with it. Injuries, big companies swooping and stealing my talent, schedule clashes, etc are a big thing that make me find my saves exciting!</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Trask Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 <p>I loved that kind of improvisation too, EBEZA, though it's been a minute since I booked a smaller promotion where that type of thing frequently happens and on-the-fly rewrites are necessary frequently. Desperation creativity!</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> I'm super into worker development. I get a kick out of seeing guys' stats creep up. Popularity, too, especially if it's a worker I'm actively pushing. I guess I'm a numbers nerd.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LloydCross Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 The CVerse mostly. With sim-style game, I like making that connection to a world I'm not familiar with and the CVerse is probably my favorite. When I messed around with Football Manager once upon a time I would play in like the Ukrainian Second League or such to get a similar experience (since even though all the people are real I don't actually know any of them before I start up), but the CVerse is much richer with personality.

Historian Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I love the task of working with small promotions. I also love setting myself rules for the game. Guys I won't hire, etc...

Levinux Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Playing mostly historical real world mods, what keeps me excited is building up guys I thought could have done more, in a believable way.

Slash-LN Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Playing real world mods from when I was a kid and still in love with wrestling. Changing the course of history. Right I'm doing a 1995 mod as the WWF and I signed Razor Ramon and Diesel to new deal which means they aren't jumping to WCW. I have the cruiser weight wrestlers in my company, Rey and Psiscosis and Jericho. I have Benoit and Malenko. I'm pushing some of the Japanese guys like Jinsei Shinzaki, Hayabusa, Mitsuharu Misawa and I just got Jushin Liger to agree to a deal. I have a B show that's dedicated to women's wrestling and there's Alundra, and Bertha Faye but it's mostly full of Japanese women's wrestlers and is treated as serious. I love changing the course of history and seeing how things play out. I like when there's a surprise of two workers who have great chemistry. Sometimes I'll alter my booking plans to start a program between them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't worry about popularity so much since it's so easy to raise. I focus more on skill development and various ways to accomplish that. I also love creating bonafide stars and, when playing real world mods, booking things correctly. Especially nowadays, there is so much talent that's either misused or not used at all and these people could be HUGE if given the opportunity (and the creative leeway).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poet Justice Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I love destiny rolls because you never know who you might get that could be great. I’m a big Cverse player so I have an opportunity to freely form my own wrestling universe. One time I got a Killer Shark unlimited pop/fantastic worker roll and had so much fun molding him into a god like worker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Historian Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Whats a destiny roll? It's the variable roll that determines how good someone can get in a game. It's essentially their potential with their skill caps. It changes each time you start the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RatedRKO16 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Playing a 1983 mod, I'm excited to rewrite the wrestling history the way it should have been : wrestling and no sport-entertainement. Same but not so much the lack of sports entertainment, but more the way things should have been. Love giving Mr. Perfect, British Bulldog, Owen Hart, Razor Ramon, Jake the Snake, etc title runs. Having Hogan vs Flair in the main event of WrestleMania. Trying to make Ultimate Warrior a good wrestler, lol. Pushing Vader to the biggest monster anyone has seen only to have Bam Bam Bigelow dethrone him for that title. Making Randy Savage the GOAT. Turning Big Boss Man to the heel he was in the AE but earlier in the 90s and have him be a heel even the heels don't want to mess with.
