Kashmir Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I am sure this must have been mentioned before, but I have a question about overness. Why doesn't my overness go up when appearing in a match with a top level star? Win or lose, a young gun/new guy should get some overness from the "rub" of being in the ring with a popular guy. Gunner Scott (Brent Albright) is a good example. Even when losing, he was still getting over with the crowd. I think the overness gain should be relatively small in comparison to winning a match, but it should exist. Also, when being an upper midcarder, while being an opener, should get you more over than being another opener, or lower midcarder. Maybe this is already in, and I haven't noticed. Is this stuff not in because it's too hard to code, or is it something that I am alone in the thinking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard99 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 I would also like to see you get more overness if you put on a good match. You would think you would get over quicker if you was putting on A* matches all the time rather than F matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. Boons Ghost Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 But 'overness' isn't in Wrestling Spirit, at least not as it applied to Total Extreme Wrestling. If you look at popularity as boxing ranks, it all makes sense. Ranking systems care little whether you put on a great match or a crap one. The only thing that matters is if you win.

panix04 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 Adam could always program an "I win" button in for you! :D If you dont want to lose a lot than play superstar mode and pick someone like Tommy Cornell or if its real world data pick someone like triple H, rookie to legend is supposed to be difficult thats kind of the point! It is for people who like the idea of taking a green worker and turning him into a main event superstar. If you just want to win a lot dont use that particular mode or you can use RTL just put it on the easiest setting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard99 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 who says we couldnt win, i have a 117 wins and 13 losses, i got no problem winning its the fact that after 4 years 117 win and only 13 losses i still only have 25% popularity in CZCW and NYCW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 surely then, the solution is to win another 351 matches and get 100% overness! Are you playing on realistic mode? Perhaps your popularity is capped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard99 Posted July 14, 2006 Share Posted July 14, 2006 my popularity is going up, just not very fast, only 0.1% to 0.3% per win most of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a while to build the overness (and skills) necessary to attract the attention of bigger promotions. Big fish in a little pond turns into a minnow in the Pacific Ocean if set loose (and gets eaten shortly thereafter). Build your career. Don't expect to get huge overness spikes when you beat A_jobber_who_couldn't_get_into_SWF_102. Look at how many people attend the shows you work at. Do you honestly think those 100 or so folks are all Associated Press reporters? How many people in the Tri-State area know what the heck CZCW is? How many folks in British Columbia know what NYCW stands for? D.Boon is right. This is a fighting game. I don't know too many folks who refer to the 3-11-7 boxer as "Yeah, he loses a lot....but he puts on great matches!". In the words of Al Davis, "Just win, baby!". In this game, people spread the word and increase your notoriety when you win and also when you work for promotions that have some scope. In my game, every time I put some chump on her back for the 3 count, I get 0.1 - 0.3% popularity increase. I'm okay with that because I'm Rome and I wasn't built (or destroyed) in a day.
