2k17 rules

Can we have a topic on CAW rules for 2k17?

What I mean is... Should we bother with overalls? I personally don't wear overalls...

It's still early and information is still being given as to what the game modes, enhancements, whatever actually are.

But we are gonna have rules for stat limits? 

Cuz, here's my thing...
(And I'll use my numba 1 caw for example, just fill in what you think is relevant to your caws)

Why does Quantum have to have a 50 min for arial distance if he's 1) never going to be flying 2) doesn't have too rope or spring board?

Why can't those be placed into, say... Punch attack or kick attack.. As he's more likely to punch the fuck outta someone and kick their brains out than climb the turnbuckle.

I understand the idea that some were OP due to zeroing stats in 2k16 and raising others to max... But shouldn't some superstars have a higher than 90max on what they're good at or do often anyway, as long as they aren't overall 100?

I'm not trying to incite anything other than a discussion and please don't think I'm only thinking about my caws. I just think there can be a lot more personalization if someone were able to specialize their caws in certain areas vs being given a min and a max on everything, as long as it's relavent to the character and build.


Am I right, WEB?

Ps, can we have our custom entrances back if we keep them under 1 minute please?

Honestly, I feel we need overall standards revised for CAW attributes. We should have more realistic Smackdown: Here Comes the Pain stats.

Also light heavyweights shouldn't be doing powerbombs and chokeslams as regular moves.

I Personally feel like Dashing should personally edit the stats so they are a bit more fair.

Work out a system (Maybe based on site activity,quality of promos and storylines or something like that) for stat upgrades and downgrades

Different tiers depending on where your CAW is on the card or what division they are in

For example - Openers, Midcarders, Upper Midcarders and Main Events or a combination of where they are ranked in their division.

Have ways they can earn their place in the company and boost up the card as rewards for being loyal to CMV and not just enter with a 90+ overall rated CAW and takeover without lifting a damn finger

Most companies i have worked for in the "CAW" scene have things like this where as CMV is just a free for all anywhere in a range, i also do agree with Reaper, certain divisions should have things like banned moves i mean has Neville ever done a tombstone piledriver/chokeslam? think about that.

Anyways that's my long ass post about my thoughts on this issue, here's a funny emoji for you if you've read it all the way through

I said it in the what you want from 2k17.... id like an rpg universe mode. So My Career meets My Universe. You start as a 60 and every fight gets you points.
Get this would be a lot of work for Dashing though.

Dont really see it matters about the 50-90 bracket long as everyone sticks to it.
Now everyone pretty much goes 50 on some irrelevant stat and 90 on the important stats. Remove that and theyll go 1 and 99. Still the same specialisation just with different limits.

Different stats for mid carders/main eventers just makes the rich richer.

TL:DR Id like a different system just dont know what.

Literally with the sts thing now, LHW and Cruiserweights are trash

All I ask for is custom entrances

Isn't the reason for these rules so you don't end up with OP as fuck caws cause everythings set to 100 due to certain points being set to zero? If even Big Show and Andre The Giant has stats for Aerial Attacks in the game so should everyone regardless if they use them or not.

quality of promos ............. Thing is 1 person might like someones work, another may not.....Who's to say who's promos are better.... You can write 6,7, paragraphs of work but if it dont go nowhere it just sucks. That's just an example, i know people write good long promos too...


Not sure about banning moves on some people.... Some little guys have done powerbombs, tombstones etc.... Benoit wasn't a big guy, but he used them moves.

Lets be honest, what I think we should do is not announce any specific upper and lower limits, this way not everyone sets a certain stat to like 50. What I think we should do, just between myself and dashing is set up like different styles.
For Example
Spot Monkey
Hardcore
Brawler
Entertainer
Mat Wrestler
etc etc and we come up with with preset stats for each class with different versions based on ones position of the card, so a Main Event Entertainer would have better stats than a midcard Entertainer but might have lower technical stats that a mat wrestler. This way people won't exactly know what stats they're getting and so we won't just have everyone setting the exact same stats low and the exact same stats high, it will vary from caw to caw. Only me and dashing would know, and so people like sunshine wouldn't pick entertainer for example because it might have the best stats, he'd pick like hardcore or brawler because he'd expect it to suit his gimmick.

I kinda like that except that you dont have that much control over your CAW then.
Maybe do what you said with average stats and post them on here then allow everyone to pick an extra x points to put where they want.
You could go further with variable ranges per stat generated with a RNG (so 75-90 str for a powerhouse but 65-75 speed) but thats alot of work.

That's another idea, I mean I'm sure dashing and I would be willing to put the work in. We do the thing with the different styles, but each style has it's own stat range and people can adjust attributes based on that, so for example

an entertainers momentum would be capped at 95, but his reversal could be capped at like 80

whereas a technical wrestler would have his momentum capped at 85, but his reversal could be like 95
