Does anyone know specifically what increases when a worker changes their weight or physique? I know it’s usually Athleticism, Sex Appeal, and Star Power, but I’m not sure by how much or if it’s random or what. Also, is it the same for male and female wrestlers or do they get different bonuses?

Adult risqué. You’re thinking of Babes of Sin City, which is in the game database, it’s just closed.

Frankie-Boy Fernandez and Findlay O’Farraday are two that I don’t see people talk about and they’re really good workers.

I feel like that would make sense if they had the canny operator attribute. It's just weird because my wrestlers weren't holding back very much before I changed my product, but all of a sudden it happens every match now. Is it a guaranteed thing to happen, or just a chance like inconsistency?

I know I have seen this asked before, but I cannot find any threads on it. I have been having a lot of my wrestlers "holding back" in my matches. I had a 6 man tag where everyone in the match was holding back, which killed the match rating. Why is this happening? I just switched my product after the 6 month wait and it's only started since then, so I assume it has something to do with that?

That's good to know. I guess there isn't any advantage to having them written exclusive until they are more attractive to other companies that can lock them down.

I don’t think you can do a developmental handshake deal. I could be wrong, but in past games you weren’t able to. If you are planning on not using them in a developmental company and build them up yourself, then yeah it’s cheaper to do a handshake for sure.

I was just going off of my experience with dojos in 2020. I had 2 of them running, one that was at the minimum cost and one at the maximum cost. I got 2 workers from the cheap one and 3 from the expensive one, and their skills were similar quality, the main difference was that the cheap dojo workers had zero popularity and the expensive one produced workers with positive popularity (it was like 5 in the dojo’s region or something like that). Maybe I got lucky with my cheap one or maybe I got unlucky with my expensive one, but that’s my experience with them.</p>

I’ve also read that the more expensive the dojo, the more wrestlers it will produce. Again, this wasn’t really my experience. I pretty much had the same results from the cheapest to the most expensive. Maybe I wasn’t patient enough with it but I gave it a year on both (I had them both in the same game kind of as an experiment) and the quality of wrestlers and the amount was overall the same. I was much more happy just making the cheapest child company and having all of my prospects trained there. Honestly in about 6 months I had pretty good results and it wasn’t draining my finances as much as I thought it would.

Also, since you’re looking for smaller wrestlers, maybe try to look at more younger women wrestlers if you weren’t already. They usually start at smaller sizes than the men and they have just as much potential.

You can grab unknown guys for 2 years for about 2k/month. This would give you the chance to build them up a little and see if you want to keep them, and if their popularity isn’t going up very much, it won’t increase their asking price, either. The younger the wrestlers are, the faster their skills increase and the more they learn. If you can sign them when they’re young and unpopular, you can mold them into something at least decent, even if their starting skills suck, and still get them for an affordable price if you want to lock them down for 10 years.

You’re welcome! I’m rooting for you. I’ve been enjoying reading about your ACPW and how far you’ve gone in the game. I usually get ADD and start a new game with a new company around the one year mark, so it’s awesome to see a C-Verse game advance for so long.

It's not a problem so far...and I've done a nice job building some guys, but I'm finding the last couple guys I've attempted to push to build them up just aren't taking...and if that continues, and I lose 2-3 more top guys I could be a little thin. I was able to sign a 'toxic' Wolf Hawkins and got him to drop weight after he'd been out of wrestling for a year and a half...but he's going to take a little bit of work to rehab...but I got him for super cheap so that solves an issue for now. Thanks for the feedback...if the money continues to roll in I might set up a Dojo just to see...and maybe look more into the whole True Born stuff. I know a few guys I've tried to sign to long term deals wouldn't do it cause they were loyal to their birth promotion, so that's something to consider for the long term...</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I think the more expensive Dojos just start the workers off with more popularity. That’s been my experience anyway. I’ve had the cheapest dojo and the more expensive kind and they both seemed to produce similar results in the way of skills, the only difference was the more expensive one would be more popularity. My humble advice would be to get a cheap developmental and hire a bunch of young wrestlers, even if they suck. You can set the developmental to where they’re wrestling every week which should raise their skills while you don’t have to babysit them. That’s what I did anyway, and I got better results than when I had the dojo. I had them all under Written Exclusive deals so people couldn’t steal them when I was ready to use them. Or, you could try and see if a lesser company would be interested in taking your developmental wrestlers. You would have to form a friendly alliance with them, but if successful you won’t have to purchase your own developmental and you could call up your wrestlers any time you wanted. Just my 2 cents anyway.</p>
