WWE Game XIV: Its Time To "Split": Discussion Thread

[Hammy]

A board of trustees.....

....2 Dolph Ziggler's

 

Somebody just spiked my drink didn't they 

If you were going to do that, you might as well just have on league and put 2 of every wrestler in then there is enough to go round.

[D]

I think we can all agree that whatever idea it is, both leagues MUST count the same.

I do like GNrfan's idea



So if I won league B, I'd have 4 titles and Hammy could counter me by winning League A

Builds the rivalry even more.


Let's book that ****

[Evolution]

I voted for #2 because whatever we decide should be in place and agreed before a game starts.

Am i missing something there?

Its the same drafting system as proposed in the other proposals isn't it?

Are you saying that you don't like the idea Hammy? Coz i honestly think its the best idea.

Another idea to revist I thought would be WWE vs. TNA.  Yes I know a few of you (a lot maybe) cringed when I just typed that, but if we added TNA permanently numbers would be fine.

Lets be honest, nobody really wants a split, we all want to be in the same league.

From the "Non-TNA" watchers point of view.

I post TNA Spoilers and such in the TNA section, readily available and easy to read.

During the game if someone debuts and someone bids for them you have 48 hours to check the latest TNA results to find out who they are and such.

We could do it for the next game and if it proves unpopular try something else, if nothing else it gives us more thinking time.


Thoughts?

I don't particulary like that idea. I think we have enough TNA in this game.

I still don't understand whats wrong with my idea!

You have two equal (in numbers and terms of importance) leagues... The RAW Brand & The SD brand say.

Everyone is drawn at random to a brand.

The Raw brand and SD brand draft in isolation so 9 people draft from the full list in each brand.

The top 2 in each game get belts and only the World Champion is immune from moving brands at the end of each game.

Its a very simple and i think effective idea that means that everyone has something to play for. rather than being stuck in a lower league coz of one bad game.

I don't see a reason that it couldn't work?

[BlowUpYourVideo]

I officially endorse Gnrfan's idea.


Though I guess if we went down the TNA route that Hammy mentioned, I could get by with that. Don't know about the others who don't regularly watch TNA...

Thanks. I officially endorse your endorsement

I think we all could get by..... but if this game has taught me anything its that i have no idea about TNA. When you watch a show you just get a feeling for pushes and feuds that you can't get by reading spoilers.

If you look at my team in this game James storm has been crap and i thought he was one of the best on TNA. Its makes people who don't watch TNA feel like they should take a TNA pick early so they get a name they reconise. That would be my objection to TNA being full on.

A twist to the TNA could be that you can pick a 2nd TNA guy.... but only as your 1st Pick. and then same rules apply that he/she can't be dropped.

[Hammy]

The only issues I see with that is the "Who is the better Champion?" arguments.

Or the idea of putting both leagues scores together in an overall leaderboard brings on the, saying you got higher points because you had inferior people in your league argument.

Other than that I'm cool with it.

[Gnrfan]

But i quite like that. A bit of banter never hurt anyone.

And titles are titles HHH has more than Austin.... but is he a better champion?

You might get someone who gets a bigger score but the other champion has beaten more former champions. I just think it suits Rookies to players that have never won a title to multiple time champions.

Just think we would open up a new winning title and that means no one starts as grand slam champion so thats something to aim for too.

With leagues that are equally important it gives everyone a target and thats a good thing to keep people's interest.

[Hammy]

I see where your coming from and I like it, you've sold me and BlowUpYourVideo on it, if more people like it then we may have a winner.

My only objection now is we need jazzier names than RAW and Smackdown  

And did we say the title split would be:

1st, World and WWE.

2nd, US and IC.

3rd, European and ****.

?

Also I know D's wanted it back for a bit and with a bigger board, wrestling dedicated, the Tag Game coming back could work to.

two champions COLLIDE in the next game or something

Plus, **** talkin makes these games fun.

Id love for u and me both to win at the same time. Dean Malenko has 1001 holds, I'd have 1001 reasons why i am the better champ

it would be Squared Circle gold.


How about both champs get put in the same league next game for bragging rights?

[D]

ORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR



you could add on to GNRfan's idea and say a game last for 4 months


after 2 months, u take the 5 best from each league and combine into the championship league for the last 2 months winner takes all.

the other people oh well, should've done better, we could have the tag game or something to keep them interested.

[Hammy]

Not too keen on the idea of eliminating people, everyone should be involved, all the time.  Even with the Tag Game's presence.

I like the novelty of the Champions not moving actually, gives each league the special elite feel I guess with a Champion trying to keep winning and keep in their league, on top.

yeah cause really, unless someone repeats, good chance is, u will move leagues often plus it sets up cool rivalries. Me and u could dodge each other for a whole year and then finally meet up

i think its fresh and cool
