DirigoJoe Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 In 2016, Reverie was set to grow into new territories every year, but now they seem maxed at big or medium in some territories. If I want to get to Titanic is that a problem or is the coverage good enough to get there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CQI13 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 has anybody come across or made some extra graphics for titles, brand, tv shows or events for uspw? I have some "unbranded" graphics that you might find useful. http://www.greydogsoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=549683 Haven't updated in a bit, but there might be more in the Custom Graphics Request Thread in the mod forum. If not, feel free to drop a request in that thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I want to get to Titanic is that a problem or is the coverage good enough to get there? The AI seems to do it within the first year. I'm thinking of reducing the strength of the coverage just so it doesn't happen quite as quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirigoJoe Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 How come Packer won't let me form relationships with other companies? I thought he was hands off. I want to make deals with English, Canadian and Mexican companies to do some combined supercards and establish USPW as a WORLDWIDE company and I keep getting blocked.

DirigoJoe Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 Does Reverie limit the amount of tickets I can sell? I did a PPV and got 43,000+ paid but both SWF and TCW sold out 50,000 houses for their big events. That being said I got about 12,000,000 more people to watch my event on Reverie. Is it built in to the game that since my product is so available on TV that fewer people show up or is there something I'm missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that it's limited by size, with factors of location and ticket prices. If it's held in South East then you should have been ok. Did you change the location or arena?

Sco xY2Jx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 No ones posted much regarding USPW for the longest time but with my dynasty running along with Historian and Dark_Raider I was wondering how others have got on with USPW? Or is it a case of everyone wants to try and take down the Superpower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a0161613 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 They don't have a hook, in my opinion. They need a dev company and dojo, but its not a struggle to get one. The roster needs splitting up - send the rookies away to learn, put the veteran (and/or) musclebound freaks out to pasture while boosting what talent you do have that are in the midcard (Jameson, Whitlock) then you can raid to your hearts content. I always create a small broadcaster for the dev company. While the likes of Jack Jackson have pop, then haven't earned it through skill.

Or is it a case of everyone wants to try and take down the Superpower? I just started a save with them as Giant Redwood cos I want to go against the grain of what everyone would normally do with USPW and, from what I remember, how everyone has always booked USPW which is to modernise it and put a greater emphasis on talented young workers. My plan is to push the oldest, corniest, roidiest guys around in hokey old fashioned storylines and end every single show with Nicky Champion posing for the fans. I haven't really gotten into it yet but I'll report back here when I'm a few months in (unless I lose interest as I often do when I start up these "side projects") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a0161613 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 I do fill my dev co with guys who I wouldn't normally consider if I was TCW or the like. People like Annihilus, who need a lot of refinement but fit the USPW stature (i.e. menace guys) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_Black Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Who, if anyone, does everyone hire for the women's division? It's fairly stacked already, though quite a few members of the division are nearing retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sco xY2Jx Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Who, if anyone, does everyone hire for the women's division? It's fairly stacked already, though quite a few members of the division are nearing retirement. Hellcat Hernandez, Electric Dreamer and Purple Viper are 3 hires I try to pick up. The luchadora scene is stacked with talent and USPW could do with some more diversity and colourful characters in the division. Plus they're already talented in the ring and still in prime years. All you need to do is get them over. Easier said than done, of course. Black Diamond and the Rose & Lilly tag team would make solid pick ups for bolstering the division and getting youth in there.

The Dynamite Sid Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 damn it's actually pretty tough to book USPW huh? I figured it was gonna be sandbox mode but through my first month of TV I'm leaking popularity left and right. I feel like I'm gonna have to start having Nicky Champion singles matches for every tv main event. No wonder I've seen the AI drop down to "Big" with USPW so frequently.

On the surface it should be easy with your top 3 main event talents and all the money in the world. But once you realise it's 70/30 pop>perf and some of your most popular guys don't work TV and that you need 5 storylines at 70 heat (presuming you play with that active) the challenge becomes apparent. I get why a lot of people don't play USPW though and admittedly I haven't til recently. Trying to turn the roster over while staying on top wouldn't be plain sailing though.

I went back through your diary and compared my results to yours and its been pretty similar (e.g I ran Whitlock vs Wolf on TV and it got a 69 where it got a 70 for you) One thing that has concerned me right away is Rich Money's in ring performance. His bouts so far have left a lot to be desired and his PPV main event with Wolf was a real disappointment though not a show killer. I did plan to keep the strap on him for a while, feud with Bulldozer and Law, but maybe I'll switch it back to Nicky a lot sooner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, this seems like the C-Verse Databse is a square peg and the game is a round hole. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense in the lore of the database that the company is so hard to play, even in the previous games. Their product can also be brutal.

Matt_Black Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Honestly, given how WWE is turning record profits despite historic low ratings, the fact that USPW is hard to grow in pop despite all their advantages is very believable.

Agreed. They had a meteoric rise to be the undisputed world number one but now the stars who got them there are getting old and the big money feud at game start - Champion vs Frehley - is heavily implied to be a programme they've run and rehashed numerous times already. The same names have been on top for four years. Also it just reflects the pressures of being the world's largest company. Expectations are high, you need to be delivering excellence every time. They're almost so big that the only way is down. Just like WWE post attitude era, any dip in quality after such a massively successful period is really felt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can squash all day long and get pop gains) are all getting pushed. Seems like you're on a good path. The upside of the heavy pop>perf is that depending on far into decline Money is he should still be good for a bit because he's so popular I feel like if you're USPW and Jack Bruce is keen to come out of retirement you almost have to run Bruce vs Champion as it's one of the ultimate "What If" matches available involving the Icons/GOATs aside maybe Tommy C and Champion (technically we'll have seen Bruce Vs Tommy before from the HGC days).

In the past I've done a brand split between American Wrestling and a new show called National Wrestling (like the MLB!). I've made an event called Civil War. A show called Coast to Coast or Sea to Shining Sea could work to show how they're a national brand... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
