I don't think that's a bug. I'm also pretty sure that whether a worker complains is heavily dependent on their personality.</p>

Does the protect road agent note penalize the match rating? I know it used to be common sense in TEW2013 that putting the protect note drags down the match rating, but reading the description on the booking screen, there's no mention of that kind of penalty.

The penalty only comes into effect if the match is seen more than three times in a particular region. So, if you have two matches in the Tri-State region, and then the next two in the Great Lakes you won't get any penalties unless the first two matches were broadcast in Great Lakes or unless the last two matches were broadcast in Tri-State. I hope, I'm being clear enough. And remember: As long as the matches are getting better each time, you don't have to worry at all about repetitive booking penalties.

Put them in an "alternate" match where the winner gets to be a potential replacement for an injured worker (be it kayfabe or real).

What happens if you lose a bidding war for a wrestler involved in an owner goal?

For every wrestler below that number, you'd get the road agent pop-up that they're not able to call it in the ring yet. So anyone below 61 psychology should not call a match in the ring period.</p><p> </p><p> And I believe whether you should call a match in the ring depends on the psychology <strong>in relation to the match rating</strong>. So, if you expect a match to rate around 80 and both fighters have more than 80 psychology you can/should call it in the ring. If they're below that you might want to script the match. Although I think longer matches tend to get penalized for scripting. So that's another thing to consider.</p><p> </p><p> I'm not sure if that's 100 % accurate or if anything has changed for TEW2016, but that's my approach whether to call a match in the ring.</p>

So, I booked this match as a DQ finish, which my fans don't like, and with the Keep Strong note for Omar Brown. I knew this was going to bomb, but for storyline reasons and in order to calm the crowd, I booked it the way I did. For some reason, the game thinks it was a "superb" match and it got the crowd hotter. This was by far the worst segment on the card and NOTBPW's popularity is at a B across Canada. The two matches before scored a B and a B-. Does anyone what's up with that? Why would a D+ rated segment get the crowd hot? I thought booking intentionally bad matches would make the crowd come back down. http://i100.photobucket.com/albums/m27/Johannes_04/WatsonBrown.jpg?t=1488978854

No. What kind of chemistry? For tag teams and announcing combos, their experience will eventually offset the negative chemistry. For opponents and managers, there's nothing you can do as far as I know.

Thanks, Adam. There is no Word document like there used to be in previous versions of the game. However, there's the new "player's handbook" on your office screen (the button on the far right). It's really helpful and goes really in depth on certain topics.

Does anyone know? Adam maybe?</p>

In the road agent report, where it says "Wrestler X had an in-ring performance of...", does this purely refer to their in-ring skills or does it also take into account their popularity and how both are weighted in your company's product? Or asked differently: Will the "Wrestler X had an in-ring performance of..." part always be the same, regardless of product and popularity? Edit: Oh, before I forget: I know that certain products favour or disfavour certain styles or in-ring skills. But apart of from that, does the weighting of performance and popularity have an effect on that part of the road agent report?

I could use a name for the heel team of John Maverick and Lord James King in the default database. Both are running their default gimmicks, Hired Gun and Rich Snob respectively.

<p>Are there no longer penalties for burning out the crowd?

I have crowd management turned on, so that's not it.</p><p> Has this penalty been removed?</p>
