Can I Use 1 Roster For Several Shows

[boblight24]

I am re-branding my WWE universe and scaling it back to 41 wrestlers. What I'm hoping to do is have them all on one roster and have 2 weekly shows, is that possible to do? I want to have only 1 HW, IC title.

Re: Can I Use 1 Roster For Several Shows

I guess 41 guys on 1 roster might be too many, I could always split them up and have several titles, but only 1 Heavyweight title. I would like to have them all be able to wrestle each other and not just the other guys on their roster.

What I'm trying to do is the the roster where each match matters.

I made the mistake of letting giving the CPU 100% control of the cards for the shows, Goldberg and Cena wrestled 4 times during the month, each won 2 - PPV comes along - no Cena and Goldberg is in a Triple Threat with two guys who hadn't wrestled all month. So I'm resetting and doing a Legends universe.

Wait a second....it's my Universe, I saw who wrestler who and when.

Here's what I'm thinking, 2 shows 20 & 21 guys on each show.

I've ranked all the wrestlers based on an average of their ratings (CMHooe's Attributes) and their rating on WrestlingData.com, the top 20 will be split up and 2 10-man battle royals will determine who are the initial champs for each show.

After that guys ranked 10-30 will fight for the following titles:
Intercontinental
US
European

those are ranked in order of prestige and the range of ranked wrestlers will change with each belt.

Tag Team belts also, probably a tornado tag match....

Each the Majors (RRumble, WM, SSlam, and SSeries, the WWF Championship will be on the line and only during those PPVs. The others will be determined based on a number of contributing factors.

I'm an Excel nerd so formulas and rankings will play a HUGE role in this, the CPU is great, but only to a point. Last year I did an offline universe and made it to Survivor Series using ONLY rankings, no storylines, and it sucked, I'm not sure how I lasted that long. This year will be different. If HBK and Hogan wrestle 3 times in a month and Hogan wins all 3, there will be no re-match at the upcoming PPV regardless of the rankings. It's that human connection that I think I was missing.

Roster is only Legends (Legends meaning wrestlers who have retired or their Retro counterparts (Rock, Taker, Kane). As with most things there are excpetions, The Hardy Boyz are in the universe. There will be NXT as well, it's top name guys from the current WWE, these shows will be simmed and only results posted, also a Divas show, simmed, results only. This is to build up the 'future,' (check out Sound The Alarms universe).

I'm thinking of turning off rivalries or at least clearing them, and running this my way. I will set up allies/enemies for each wrestler in case there is some interference (or needs to be).

Who knows where this will go!

Huge Excel nerd myself so I'd definitely be interested in the formulas and such that you are using. Last year, I created an Excel sheet that randomly generated free agency moves for me. My initial setup was based on January 1999 (with some of the current stars mixed in for fun) with WWF, WCW, and ECW so it was interesting to see some of the moves it generated...The Rock even ended up feuding with CM Punk for the ECW title!
