joeyuk Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 i playing Rookie to Legend and am now in 2012. Im on the books of 3 feds with verbal contracts. The only thing is after 6 years of plaing im only 23% popular with this feds. Im opener, lower mid and upeer mid with these feds. Im also C rating in two regions in the US and C- in two more. My question is should i be more popular after his time. Im win a lot more matches then lose but am getting E and D ratings, does this make a difference. Should i be further along in my career or is it ment to take this long to get over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatallylost Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Holy crap. You've played 6 years already? I thought I had free time. I would imagine that after 2-4 years you should be relatively over, somewhere, unless you lose 9 out of 10 matches (like me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you win, you get overness boosts. When you lose, you can lose overness. Bottom line. There does seem to be a cap to how over you can get depending on the promotion's size. You're not going to get to A overness worldwide wrestling for MAW. You have to move up. When you can attract the interest of a larger promotion, go there and you'll see your overness increase more due to increased exposure. 2 matches with SWF or TCW will gain you more overness than 30 matches with MAW or NYCW simply due to the additional areas TCW and SWF have access to. Remember, OVW didn't make The Rock. WXW didn't make Mickie James. ECW didn't make Stone Cold Steve Austin. WWE did, in all those cases. You have to work for the big dawgs to get to the top, overness wise. Six years or sixty, makes no difference. USPW is not going to make you a worldwide wrestling icon. But SWF can.

joeyuk Posted July 7, 2006 Author Share Posted July 7, 2006 Cheers for the replys. I wilth MAW, MYW and USPW at the mo. What sort of ratings do you need to get into a decent size fed. Most of my skill are around C to C-. I notice that if i win all 3 of my matches in the month i go up about 0.3% every month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higher personal overness will get you into higher overness companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your popularity is what gets you hired to bigger promotions. Your skills only help you to win matches, which builds your popularity. But if you had B overness worldwide with F in all your skills, you could probably still get hired to a SWF or TCW. *hulks up* :p Pay attention to the size of the promotions. You're not going to jump from MAW, NYCW, and USPW to SWF/TCW. Look to get into a cult level promotion (DAVE, UCR) or a National one (NOTBPW is usually easier to break into than TCW, even though they're the same size to start out). Look for promotions who have TV shows as that's the best/easiest way to get your overness up quickly. Those TV shows are usually weekly events so every week, you have a chance at raising your overness (not to mention making some money). You may not get booked every week but if you work more than 1 show in a month, you will have beaten what you would've made working for MAW (who only do 1 show a month), financially and popularity wise. The game rewards you more for using the small feds as stepping stones than it does for loyalty. You can be loyal to Rip Chord all you want but it's not going to make you any money or make you very popular to the folks outside the Mid-Atlantic region.

Xenodracon Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Skills aren't entirely useless, Adam has said many of them affect your odds of being hired. SWF and TCW are both entertainment feds if I'm not mistaken, so having skills like microphone, charisma and I imagine star quality will increase your odds of being hired and might lower the amount of popularity you actually need to get in, while hardcore will do the same thing in getting you into DAVE, it being a hardcore fed after all.

barbarossa Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 I hope my question fits in here. Im playing my RTL for about 6 Years now. I´m 24% over in the US. but I just cant get to USPW or any other Regional Promotion. I´m hanging around with MAW (upp Midcard\ champ) CZCZ (Midcard (Tag Team and xtreme Champ) and NYCW (Lower Mid Card\ Tag Team and Tri State Champ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It may be that your wrestling style doesn't fit their promotion type. Either that or they jumped to Cult level status. Because I was able to get a contract with them just starting the game, so I had 0 popularity and realistic starting stats. I got let go but they've rehired me again since and I'm still only around 10 or 11 overall popularity in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTBs Bill Parkman Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yeah, I hate how slow the overness scale is at times. Right now, I am playing as AJ Styles in TNA and have put on some awesome A* matches, but then four things happen and really brings me down. 1. My overness hasn't gone up at all. 2. I'm stuck in a written contract with TNA for 3 years. 3. Every show I am asked to defend the Tag Titles against the same two teams as always. 4. Can't even see if I can get hired by the WWE cause of reason #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard99 Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 ive been wrestling for 3.5 years and have a record of 102 wins and 13 losses my popularity is C- in Mid Atlantic, D in New England, B- in South East, C in Tri State my current push america is 23.6 at this rate my wrestler will have died of old age before i get to SWF and cant get into any of the promotions that have weekly shows like CGC and DAVE, they say i need to be more popular, i even cheated to give my self loads of money and changed all my skills to A*'s but they still wont hire me, so skills cant be too much of a big influence for getting hired. my main problem is i only usualy get booked against other Openers and Lower Midcarders so most of the time i only get 0.1% increse per match. i'm now in the process of getting some friends in DAVE to see if that helps. does anyone have any tips for getting over quicker?

joeyuk Posted July 12, 2006 Author Share Posted July 12, 2006 I gave up on my game it was going nowhere, i downloaded two mods DOTT and The Real World and am enjoying the game more. I like the Real World mod better Im with 3 small feds but each have weekly shows and am now getting booked about 3 times a week and after 10 months im upto 17% in the US(would be higher but i have some shocking defeats:)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonlawson Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Haha, I was gonna ask him the same thing, I'd say leave TNA if you're interested in the WWE....then if it doesn't happen, which I don't see why it wouldn't with AJ Styles, then resign with TNA with a PPA maybe?
