OS Smackdown vs. Raw league?

Re: OS Smackdown vs. Raw league?

With the lack of a diverse set of options, it seems to me that the best way to go would to be the creation of some sort of SDvRAW ladder instead of a league. In the simplest terms, the person on top of the ladder would be the champion, but he would have to be defeated in order to lose the title* if someone were to pass him somehow without facing him.

Any thoughts on this idea?

*Does not include being past due to a prolonged period of absence.

Krioniq....I like that alot, but is there a way we could implement lower belts, like the IC title, or have a cruiserweight division?

I did a similar tourney for Madden on Gamefaqs two years ago. It worked well, but it's tough when you go over 8 people....

Hmmm...

Let me explain how I worked my neighborhood ladder (which included all the titles), and see what you think of it.

Foremost, whether the roster is split or not, it doesn't affect the ladder other than how many people are on it, as the whole thing is based on percentages.

Basically, everyone starts out with the same amount of points. Now, suppose you beat me in a standard, non-title match. You gain a certain percentage of points calculated from the total number of points of all wrestlers in the league. For example, if the total amount of points held by all the wrestlers in the league is 50, you gain 1 point. This point value increases if A) more than two wrestlers are involved (impossible online, apparently), B) if the match type is an extreme one, such as a Cage, Ironman, or HIAC (again, can't do this online), or C) a title match.

Position on the ladder is determined by A) the overall value of the wrestler, and B) the percentage total league points the wrestler has (not total points). Thus, matches that occur further along in the ladder have as much importance and significance as those that occur earlier (time-wise) in the ladder.

With regards to titles, each title is given a point value; the World Title, 10 points, Intercontinental, 5 points, and so forth. A wrestler who holds the title gets the title points factored into his position on the ladder and it bumps him up a little bit. Thus, being the Intercontinental Champion does not mean you are second on the ladder.

With regard to a specific Cruiserweight Division, I specifically denote Cruiserweight wrestlers on the ladder with an asterisk or italics, marking them as eligible for Cruiserweight title shots.

If you would like me to expand or reword something, or post the Excel spreadsheet I used for my HCTP ladder so you can play with it a little bit, let me know.

Re: OS Smackdown vs. Raw league?

If someone else will set up matches and whatnot, I'll take charge of the ladder and rankings and posting them here.

I think that if we were to set up a league, we should probably go the draft route rather than "so and so calls this wrestler".

We'll see how many OSers get this game this week and see if we can get this off the ground.

Until then, if you know you will be interested email me at [email protected] with your OS identity and I'll put it in a hat, and when we get say 16 people we'll do the draft.

Re: OS Smackdown vs. Raw league?

Just bought the online adapter today for 15 bucks!!

So, I'm officially in...

The draft route is cool with me. What about create a wrestlers?? are we going to allow them, and if so will there be a rule on stacking attributes. i.e. giving him all 10's. I think an interesting way to do it would be to take all REAL wrestlers that are drafted, and average their overall ratings, the result will be the maximum points allowed for CAW in our league.

so if we have cena, taker, kane, hbk, hhh, booker, rvd, and rey in our league, and theyre average overall comes out to an 89.5 (complete guess btw) then thats the most we'll allow create a wrestlers to be.

What do you guys think?

Also, although theres one match type does anyone know if we can custimize the rules and turn dq off?

I dunno about customizing rules online, but I know THQ/Yukes did implement automatic attribute caps that are given to your created wrestler based on his size and weight class. For example, a light-heavyweight can't have strength 10 or durability 10, and a super-heavyweight can't have speed 10. This, in addition to your overall value cap, should be sufficient for controlling what CAWs get into the league.
