some questions pertaining to the Game Table

[Minotaur]

I got my code last night, and was messing around in what is available to mess around with.


I was messing around wtih the simulator...and noticed that there are match times given, and match ratings.

Will these match times and ratings be done also from matches that are played out on the game table?

And....what about the special matches? I am going to assume that they are all going to be in the "table" version....but will they be included in the cost of the subscription or whatever? Or will they be a separate expense?

I do want to say, that it looks promising and interesting. Good job so far from what I have seen.

Match ratings, no - there's no real way to account for misclicks in the Game Table, and match ratings are a very subjective thing. Match times, possibly ... it's still up for some discussion internally.

I have no idea on this one - that's a question for Osk or Todd.

Thank you! Glad you're enjoying it so far!

Using the stat tracker...adding the stats....managing a card.

Is there any way to edit the "date" of the show? I made up a card....but I put the wrong date in. I wanted July 1, 2119, instead of January 15, 2119. Can I somehow go in and change the date, or will I need to just simply delete the card and redo it?

Please go post this in the suggestions thread for me, Chris, otherwise it'll get lost in the shuffle. Thanks!

BDS, done....

But now, here is another question i have.

Would I be better off waiting for the digital version of NB/Subversion to come out, or would it be feasible to just restart my GWF 2119 fed and post the results?

If I go on and just start it up tonight, will I need to put in all the characters from 2119 manually...and then what happens when they are released digitally? This also pertains to the fan made set....

Would I need to "re-input" my fed results for 2119 when 2119 is finally released digitally? Or will it somehow carry over?

Thanks

If you input your results now, you will need to re-enter them if you want to use the official cards, otherwise, the wrestlers will be treated like bootlegs who just happen to share the same name as existing GWF stars.

[Minotaur]

uuggghhhh....that is what i kinda thought would happen...guess i will just wait for the NB stuff to come out.

What squire said.

Now, the bootlegs are still tracked in a similar fashion to official guys. The two big things from a stat tracking standpoint that you'd lose are:

* Cross linking between wrestlers versions won't happen. With the official Digital Sets, the Stat Tracker will understand that Renegade and Cannibal are two versions of the same guy. Without them, you'd either have two separate wrestlers with two separate histories, or you'd rename Renegade to Cannibal and it would retroactively change all of your Renegade matches to Cannibal matches. Now this isn't a big deal with NB and Subversion as we know them (I can't think of anyone that got a new name off the top of my head), but if Tom renames someone in 2122, then that would come into play.

* In the ranking system, the official guys get a boost based on their natural ability. If the official versions of Bloodline and Plethador have identical match histories, Bloodline will still get ranked higher by most of the ranking personalities, because he's Bloodline. With non-official wrestlers, this doesn't happen.

With the release of the Digital Sets for NB/Subversion being so close, I'd suggest waiting for them if those two things above are a big deal to you. If you wouldn't miss either of those things and don't mind the data entry to enter everyone as a bootleg, then go ahead and put them in now.

Can you enter bootlegs now and if sow how?

[BDS]

The topic of bootlegs in the Game Table is going to be something we approach down the road a bit. We talked about it before launch, but there are so many things to consider with it that we decided it'd be best to put it to the side for now, focus on the product as-is, and revisit the bootlegs down the road.

that gives me some hope down the line then The Texas Kid may actually get to ride again!!!! lol
