smartman is correct. Also, I like to have 'Fix Belts' set on whenever possible. 1 belt from the start is better than 1-3 random belts from the start or no belt at all (which is what happened earlier in sims with Fix Belts checked).

Due to the way the match rating calculations are made it's not very often one gets a true A* of 100. It's hard to say what the problem is in this case - or if there even is one - without knowing the exact product, pop & skills of the workers involved and road agent notes. Most likely you've just been 'unlucky' thus far and should keep on keeping on with what you're doing.</p>

Thanks. I've fixed Bischoff's and Shane's ages for now. Matt Hardy apparently had Jeff Hardy's stats, so that's been fixed. If anyone finds more errors, please do report them. I'm definitely going to work on this in the future. My next priorities would be of course error fixing and adding the remaining missing active wrestler pictures. Then hopefully add some more unemployed wrestlers all-around the three playable game areas (US, Mexico, Japan).

MOD INFO: 2006 — Times Of Infamy is a real world mod I've created from scratch for TEW2016. It is set in January 2006, in a time where WWE is yet to go PG, CMLL is the proverbial house on fire and NOAH is in the last days of it's golden days. TNA has been on national television for some months now following their deal with Spike TV. Shimmer has held their first two shows at the end of 2005, in the hopes of providing quality women's wrestling. ROH is championed by none other than Bryan Danielson. In WWE, John Cena and Batista are on their first world reigns, respectively. NOAH has been trying to push Rikio Takeshi to replace Kobashi Kenta and Misawa Mitsuharu, though their brightest young talent reside in the junior division with KENTA and Marufuji Naomichi. NJPW have Nakamura Shinsuke and Tanahashi Hiroshi to guide them to a new era. ...As WWE, are you able to succesfully hold on to two self-sufficient brands? ...As TNA, are you able to become the powerhouse the national television deal enables you to be? ...As ROH, are you able to grow beyond a 'super indy'? ...As AAA, who can step up to dethrone the hype train of CMLL's Místico? ...As CMLL, can you hold on to the top spot? ...As AJPW, can you make the masses invest in Japanese sports entertainment? ...As NOAH, can you push young hungry wrestlers to replace the deteriorating old guard? ...As NJPW, can you turn around years of Inoki booking to become a giant of puroresu?

What I started to notice was if you only did events and replaced your TV shows with events what would happen is the average attendance per event would continually go down compared to what the attendance would be for the events if you just had 1 a month.

If a young lion gets a fall on a veteran, the audience is going to be unhappy, as they do not believe the youngster deserved the victory. This doesn't mean that young lions can't get victories, they can still be in the winning team in multi-person matches and can still get falls over other young lions.</p>
