I'd like to hear some testimonies on how the stat tracker has made upkeep on your fed easier/ more fun/ more exciting.
I'm sure I'll end up buying it, but I just would like to hear from some of you who have purchased the COTGOnline Launch package. I'm not looking for how it can help, but how it has helped. I'm pretty sold on the gametable, but not so much on the stat tracker.

Honestly until theres a quicker way to input past results (and there may be, I havent had the internet for a little while now), its not much use to me. If you started a fed from scratch it's amazing! BDS and crew did a very nice job

It's slow at first but once you get going and click on the right stuff, it's pretty quick.... I enter my whole aCe fed (53 cards) in about 4 days....I was getting 13-14 cards in a night. Well worth it cause it ranks your wrestlers....

I was only a year into my legends fed, so inputting it wasn't hard (though I still have a match or two that were Double DQ endings so that can't be entered now, but that's something that's being worked on). It's got tweaks, but I love having access to all my stuff no matter where I am on the road I can log in and play/ I think it's going to be great once all the components are locked in place. I have my entire LOW fed and my LOW Extreme fed in there. I'm only on year 2099 in GWF so entering results as sets are released doesn't seem too daunting to me. I will say this...Right now, COTGOnline doesn't have absolutely everything I'd love to see in it but my man BDS is a workhorse and he LISTENS to your suggestions and if it's a worthwhile suggestion he implements in no time. I have to say, if COTGOnline didn't have BDS working on it, I wouldn't be gung ho at all and (since I'm not an aCe fan) I'd probably be griping about the $29! But I see "the vision" and I think it's REALLY exciting and feel that my involvement is actually shaping the future! I'd say go for it and grow with it! The support BDS gives is worth it. (Except he's a whimp and wants weekends off, but we should be able to break him of that.  |

COTG online has been brilliant for me. I've played COTG on-and-off since 1990 (Matador of M83 is still my favourite wrestler of all time) but in recent years i have got married and had 2 kids which has seen me fall behind. I'm currently on 2116 with the regular GWF card editions but i find myself struggling to find the motivation to physically get out the cards and dice. Plus it ain't that easy with two young kids around trying to eat your dice and rip up Godsend. Now i can simply turn on the PC, press a few buttons and i'm away. The brilliant aCe storyline has certainly helped too in sparking my imagination and now i'm constantly thinking COTG all the time. I really can't wait for the Game table and NB/Subversion package.  |

The Stat Tracker is much more organized than the scattered text files and spreadsheets (for rankings) that I have been using for my New Beginnings Fed. And the fact that different personalities will rank the wrestlers based on what THEY care about is a stroke of genius in my opinion. I was honestly in awe about that piece in particular. You can easily see who beat who, which was nice when I wanted to see how many title shots so and so had. WIth the recent "keywords" ranking added, I can also see who is my top Main Eventer based on the same ranking personalities.

Stat Tracker is really a great way to book... Having the ability to instantly check and see who I guys fought recently is great, and so much better than the notebooks and such most of us use.
How many times has an angle fizzled out because you forgot about it after not playing for a week, or have you forgot to count an injury? All that stuff is fixed with the 'Tracker.. one click and you see where you're at.
As far as time goes... if you're the kinda guy that doesn't write stuff down much, the data entry might be a drag. If you're like me and keep track of records via a notebook, excel, or something, this is great... all you have to do is enter your card (which, if you post your results, you're doing anyway) and the stats are done for you... included nice rankings
