Match Rating Calculations Changed?
| Critic_of_the_Dawn | Posted on 08/02/03 at 23:35:52 Just ran my first card with the release version of TNM7 SE utilizing several of the new official wrestler exports from the site here. Something seemed different to me when I did so, but I'll let the results speak for themselves. (This is my version of this weekend's HeAT, BTW) Zach Gowen pinned Ric Flair after a moonsault bodyblock in 0:05:03.Now maybe it's just me, but those ratings (especially Flair's 5 minute 4-star match against Gowen - Flair and Gowen both have workrate 85) seem to be a lot higher than they would have been in First Edition or the Beta. I'm not saying that this is a terrible thing (ratings always seemed a bit on the low side to me, given ** as average), but I am curious as to whether or not there's been a change here. Whether there is or not, if you've got a free moment would you mind briefly explaining how TNM comes up with match ratings, what factors are involved and how they're weighted, etc? Thanks a bunch. Going to run Velocity now. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| RGraham | Posted on 08/03/03 at 02:13:27 I've noticed usually high ratings too... in fact I just ran a match that went 4 stars with The Big Show & Bob Sapp!!! :o |
| Critic_of_the_Dawn | Posted on 08/03/03 at 05:09:36 Glad to see I'm not the only person who noticed this. Like I said, I'm not complaining or anything; before SE it was tough to get matches above ** unless you either had 2 workers with 90+ workrate or let the matches go on for the better part of an hour. Then again, perhaps things are a touch high at this point. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
| Oliver Copp | Posted on 08/03/03 at 11:20:01 The computing of ratings HAS changed but that was something that should have been done a long time ago. Having 90 percent of all wrestlers hover between 85 and 100 is just bad thinking on everybody's part. I updated every single wrestler's workrate, push, charisma and stamina for 7SE. For most wrestlers, the values went down considerably. Hence, with the new average wrestler attributes, ratings were in the -** to DUD region for all but the very best. I'd recommend bringing Bob Sapp's attributes to a realistic level of 50 workrate, 100 push, 95 charisma and 75 stamina and see how the Show/Sapp rating changes *g* |
| Critic_of_the_Dawn | Posted on 08/04/03 at 02:46:09 That's about what I figured. Just making sure that I wasn't seeing things. Thanks a bunch. Eric "Critic of the Dawn" |
