Availability change up

[Deleted]

I wish that Mr. Tycoon wrestled on into the early 90’s and his manager card instead comes into effect at around ‘94.

I also wish that Destruction were available from ‘88 so we could have some classic match ups between them and The Executers.

Are there any Wrestlers whom you wish lasted a bit longer or started a little earlier??

I'd like to see the face Valedictorian kick in again in the mid 90's if that makes sense?

So the 3 Valedictorian cards could become:

Heel: 1980-1984
Face: 1985-1988 / 1993-1999
King: 1989-1992
**NEW CARD** Heel WNE: 1996-1999

I agree with all of that, definitely need a face or at least a tweener card for him for the majority of the 90’s

Well historically speaking from 92 to 94 he'd have to be face (Cowboy hat and all) lol

I still really wish characters would not be limited to the exact years of what the person they are inspired by actually did. Again, the developers say it time and again that most characters are not limited to one influence. Why enforce real life timelines fictional characters that you say are original creations? I think that the 5 year cutoffs suffice. I've said this time and time again, if you are going to do things that way, then be consistent. Flawless One (i.e. definitely not Curt Hennig) can't be held off until 1985, but Pierre the Enormous (i.e. definitely not Andre the Giant) is available through 1994? Terry Van Winkle (i.e. definitely not Kerry Von Erich) gets a forced retirement in 1992, but Andre gets to wrestle as a ghost for two years? I just want logical consistency, is that too much to ask? Maybe it is for a game based on pro-wrestling, something that is notorious for having rules that are only enforced when the plot requires them. It pisses me off in real life and it is irritating to me in the game. You know, I'm just logically consistent like that.

absolutely right, they shouldn’t have any restrictions on activity. We should be able to create and decide the fate of each wrestler. Maybe they could implement a system where you can gamble a wrestlers activity against game cash or a token with odds being in the games favour obviously. Say if you decided to gamble for some cash and lose well now your wrestler has to retire until you reset the game or something like that maybe... just spitballing here .

I am fine with having the year "restrictions". Given that there are so many cards that already cover several incarnations of a wrestler through different time periods, it'd be kind of hard to go back now. I just want the consistency. Sticking to the 5 year increments streamlines everything and that generally creates a smoother experience for any game's players. That's obviously just one man's opinion, though.

In the original 80s Mania Wrestling, there were no restrictions as to which wrestlers could wrestle in each year. The system we have now works, but is more of a nuisance than it should be. To be honest, I would love it if there were no restrictions on wrestlers like before. That way, people can use whatever cards they like whenever, primarily so people can unlock feuds and tag teams a lot more easily (like Money Talks, Honor Society, or anything containing Silvergod).

I understand why they won't do it (to keep some element of realism in the game), and it's probably for the best, but if that's the case, can we at least have the ability to start our promotion in any in game year that we want and not just 1980, 1985, or 1990? I don't want to grind just to unlock one tag team or one feud.

I actually like the more random active years across the board to be honest. I think having 5 year increments would be too rigid.

If anything I'd like a lot more random years, that way each yeah you potentially have a fresh bunch of wrestlers to introduce...not too dissimilar to the (now annual) post Wrestlemania NXT call-ups.

I’m a fan of the year restrictions, it adds an element to the game. It helps things progress. I actually think it would be better to have some turnover each year to give the game more variety. I don’t mean that we should have shorter active years for all cards, but stagger them more so each year you have one or two new cards to use and one or two cards retired.

When I am coming to the finish of a card’s active years I’ll use them more, kind of like a send off or passing of the torch.
