Finally hit UR tier and pulled a UR Naomi (bye pro rare Eva!), and for some reason the game keeps shipping me SR Vinces (3) and Andres (4) rather than anything else of value.

E: Dean finally gets to tag with Andre's ghost :unsmith:

I saw a child purchase a Buff Bagwell action figure no less than a month ago in a Rite Aid. I still have no idea what a modern day 10 year old could see in a Buff Bagwell figure. But now that they have a Mama's Boy, I'm sensing it's maybe time for a comeback.

My friends JUST gave me the two-player starter pack as a late birthday present. Never before opened, "1.00 clearance" sticker still intact.

It almost pained me to open it.

Double so when I found out that JJ was the other starter.

Same here. However, two Uncommon Natalyas trained to the max and combined, then trained to max again will be much stronger than your maxed rare. So do that in the meantime.

Try out KOTR. It's kinda fun, and as long as you've stuffed in your best cards, I bet you'll be in the tier where you'll almost surely get a SR card.

That probably happens because they hacked the Godfather's Ho/JR characters into a playable state, but they still have some glitchy data where their moves would be, because they were never meant to be played as.

I feel like whomever worked on this game is like the world's biggest Erick Rowan fan. He has crazy good stats and has a Legendary level card when half the guys on the roster don't, including Bray Wyatt. It's almost as funny as the WWE Slam Attax set where The Miz was basically the world's greatest wrestler.

I'll occasionally have the buttons up on my Android - if I exit and quickly return to the game, that usually makes them go away.

Looking at the specifications, I don't see anything that jumps out as a reason why you would see that kind of behavior. My best guess at the moment would probably be something like the device reporting the wrong screensize to the program, not taking into account those soft keys.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

So after much trial and error I've come to suspect that there's not a ton you can do to bump up momentum at the top of your TEW card, especially for a popularity-heavy product. You just have to remember that the real world rules don't apply - a high card wrestler will be actively hurt when squaring off against a lower card wrestler if their momentum doesn't match. Momentum matching seems to be key - there's few if any ways to maintain a guy with higher momentum against one with lower, which is to say that you're going to helping your lower card guys more than your higher card guys no matter the outcome of their match. Heat always travels downward, but the wider the gulf the more heat dissipates on transfer. Getting a guy with E momentum up the card will require having him beat E+ guys, then when he gets up to E+ you put him over D- guys, and so on, pushing him up the card accordingly. Putting an E+ dude over a B- main eventer will maybe push your dude into D territory while dropping the main eventer several grades. Simple, right?

Somehow this didn't make sense to me for awhile. So I messed up - my high card dudes were in B- territory and I kept putting them over guys in the C range, which had the effect of setting the upper limit of roster momentum around C+. Not ideal for title changes, etc. So I figure I'll hire some popular and skilled workers for limited dates, debut them in segments highlighting their strengths in order to goose their momentum, and then have them wrestle my main event guys, dispensing bonuses to smooth over ruffled feathers when a job is needed. And then I just do the gradual "bubble under the tape" method of card progression for my young guns.

The thing is that momentum feels like a finite resource in this game, with only so much to go around among the entire roster. Were you to turn on repetition penalties (I've got them off cuz I just want to learn and have fun) I don't imagine how you'd be able to maintain top guy heat without a deep bench of well-over guys to keep it up. My understanding was that angles don't typically have a huge effect on momentum, but I could be wrong.

The way I understand it, momentum is basically a measure of the rate of overness accrual (ie regional popularity), so stagnant momentum at a high-ish grade is fine, because it just means the wrestler is becoming more popular at a certain rate. Does that cycle back around to affect momentum? Or does it just affect gates? I'm starting to better understand the mechanics of this game - even though I put on consistently fantastic shows (D+ or C- ratings for an E/E- fed) my gate numbers tend to fluctuate wildly. I thought it might have something to do with the days I've booked (no one wanting to hit up a 2 hour wrestling show on a Wednesday night, etc) but in retrospect it's probably because I've done such a poo poo job of preserving momentum. My guys' popularity (and their drawing power, by extension) isn't stable.

I've gotten three SR wrestlers and two of them are the Big Show so I feel your "I want to stay all blue" pain, though :negative:

I knew about fatigue, but I didn't think stats were affected until you dropped below a threshold and the numbers went yellow.

Here's the one thing I've found about momentum: the best way to bump it up quickly is have a really good feud.

When you look at your storyline screen, it will tell you if the participant is looking good or looking bad. If he's looking good and the storyline is rated well, when you click End Storyline the guy will get a good bump up.

If the guy is looking bad, or if you do a gimmick change that doesn't go well, his momentum will drop.

But yeah just boosting momentum through matches doesn't seem to do much, which is too bad. I'm not sure how important momentum is, but it sucks having a roster filled with C- guys.

So in order to get maximum stats out of a combined card, the two you're going to combine need to be at max level? How big of a difference is it between one of them being maxed and both of them being maxed, if that's known?

I just ran into a glitch that shows that it doesn't matter which card you pick, the rewards are predetermined. I chose a card, got Jey Uso, the game didn't proceed and I got my pick back, chose a different card, got Jey Uso. That happened twice more, so I just shut down the game.

Yeah I just assume that's how all these games work, probably to prevent people from intentionally crashing the game to try a different pick.
