[BETA RELEASE] T-Zone presents January 1997 - The War Rages On


Recommended Posts

So playing as both WWF and WCW using this mod, playing as Vince Russo and Eric Bischoff respectively, with Owner Goals on. Going to try and play within the rules set by Vince and Ted.

 

Just finished booking my first week. Here’s my first Raw is War:

Pretty good, really. Consistent with how I can usually book this sort of product.

 

And my first Nitro:

A little bit more disappointing, although seeing as they’re a smaller company I guess they have more room to grow.

A couple good show examples there mate.. were there any particular notes or feedback you got to show why the wcw show was low.. when I've been testing I've always found wwf the harder product to book due to the lack of star power outside the main event

I'd assume the WCW was low because the ME was rated low if you're using main event match focus. I've had that bite me a few times in my WWF save. I've had opening or mid card bouts hit high 80's or low 90's while a main event barely hit 80 because of chemistry or misjudging agent notes combined with using wild brawls etc to mix things up.

 

For a first show 81 is perfectly fine though, 88 for the WWF is really good. Usually takes me a good month or two to reach that as I often save big matches for PPV.

<p>Not a huge deal and a very easy fix but it appears that Shane Helms default picture is a much more recent photo. </p><p> </p><p>

Also personal opinion but I think Shannon Moore, Shane Helms, and the Hardy Boys should have some sort of friendship relationship. Shannon and the Hardys were childhood friends, I believe Shannon was trained by them and wrestled with them in their backyard promotion and OMEGA. I believe Shane Helms was also a High School classmate and friend and worked with them prior to their joining WWE and was/is current Co-owner of the OMEGA promotion with Matt Hardy.</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: Some of this is already there, it appears I missed it on the first pass through the data.</p>

Nah, I don’t use main event focus, I’ve been using regular match and angle focus for both companies as well as Classic Sports Entertainment so they’re on an even footing.

 

You are right about one thing though, WCW was lower simply because they had a worse main event, but saying that, the WWF main event was pretty darn good for TV. They won’t have that every week.

 

Ether way, neither of those shows is a failure, they both gained pop in all regions.

<p>I finally have been able to check out TEW 2020 a bit now that it turns out my laptop wasn't on the fritz after all, just needed some charging. Anywho, looking at those screen shots, does TNT have lower coverage than USA? Because it looked like USA's TV rating was double TNT's. </p><p> </p><p>

Looking forward to giving this a spin, by the way! <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

TNT seems to be a cable subscription model, with WCW having other TV deals in place. Comparing WWF's USA and WCW's TNT ratings isn't going to really work like it would have been in real life. Have to combine all of WCW's deals and compare it to WWF's for a full TV rating. For the USA/TNT battle its always going to look skewed sadly.

I'm curious as to why Bob Holly's picture in his contract with WWF is some kind of Dudley Boyz photoshop??

 

Also Jesse James Armstrong should be using the name Jesse James in January 1997, he stopped to use the Armstrong name in october 1996

 

Haha good job on the mod btw.

 

If I am remembering correctly, there are a few other random Dudleys . I think Bart Gunn is one.

I was going based off what I noticed in the screen shot Nickman posted that showed the rating WWF got on USA, and the rating WCW got on TNT. I'll download the data here in a short second to and check.

Yeah, my save is already a few versions old.

 

Is there a way for me to fix whatever it is you guys are talking about in my game?

 

Use the in-game editor.

 

Click on the settings cogs in the lower left in your game, in-game editor (its a button on the right) and then edit/save from there.

V0.4 of the data added to the main post or below (plus 22 additional pictures)

 

Data - https://www.mediafire.com/file/2g6q5lnny2jv3rc/1997_v0.4.zip/file

 

Further Pics (22) - http://www.mediafire.com/file/rcnzmf3bpaw0hq1/Extra_Workers.zip/file

 

- This includes changes and suggestions from the thread as well as those found myself

- 31 new workers added

- Power 500 for 1996 filled with 381 of 500 workers (not enough information on the others)

- WWF European title added to the data as retired.

 

Plans going forward are to start on adding more future workers as well as ironing out any other issues found.
