Thanks, I missed that. I’m definitely curious of what feedback he was getting, maybe he went too generous in the “fix” Full should probably work how it did before the tweak and weak should probably be like it us now...

Could this actually be a bug since I don’t see any notes about this being tweaked in 1.14.

Do you know how these match up with the natural growth limit at full? I haven’t had much time to test myself.

<p>Have this been address yet? </p><p> </p><p> In the mean time I’ll probably edit small broadcasters (like a YouTube) from tiny to no coverage lol</p>

Wouldnt this be were company relocation comes in at? It’s hard to imagine an Australian based company becoming titanic... Not to mention that the feat should be very difficult. I’m not sure if WWE is even titanic.

I play with all the penalties and i find it easy to maintain white hot momentum on multiple workers. Even when i book one to lose.

Yea it shouldn’t be this easy to have that many white hot people at the same time especially if you are not even exploiting the game intentionally. White hot momentum should be harder to keep.

FWIW, “sexual misconduct” isn’t rape or even molestation. It falls into a general area of sexual harassment. We don’t need details of what happened backstage. A scandal of just a “sexual misconduct” would be fine IMO. No need to overthink if so why not just remove all other scandals and deaths? “Sexual misconduct” range from mooning or exposing to coming on strong, etc.

I’m definitely here for it. More variety to what’s already in the game. Heck, maybe I’ll would finally use the blacklist feature.

TV deal being canceled should result in only being able to get a TV deal that is smaller in size.

No they got over because they were put in programs with other popular people. And were book to dominate which a menace get bonuses for. Low tier menacing guys couldn’t carry any program solely on their menacing because they aren’t talented enough whether it’s having wrestling skills or entertainment skills. As is, a menacing worker would score great in an segment based on menacing alone at a small company. He would need more talent or help to pull that off at a big company to get the grades required to become a star.

Don’t fix what’s not broken...

I would like to see the risk setting replaced with RA notes like “show blood” and “show skin”

Definitely agree with this

IMO there should be way more misc expenses being taken out to balance everything. Also owning a wrestling company 9/10 is a side business. I doubt every profit is a available to be spent. I’m sure owners pocket some of the profits and set a budget for the wrestling company. Owners of the company don’t even have an income on the game. IMO there should be a non playable Owner, CEO then Head Booker. Somewhat similar to WMMA who uses CEO and Booker.

They would score way below what they should be scoring and it would hurt them. Let’s continue the narrative that Kelly Kelly is rated on menace in a angle. Just her standing there looking serious in street clothes or how about MMA gear...That angle would bomb compared to her popularity and would be better off booking her on a program that utilize her strength. Terrible angle but it should definitely generate more interest considering her popularity than a large menacing man standing in the ring with a mask on without any manager or context. There isn’t a right or wrong way to book but the game now encourage smart booking instead of simply booking to a formula.

Yet none of those guys mentioned were in a program by themselves and got over from just being menacing.

<p>i agree, It encourages smart booking imo.</p><p> </p><p> The old way (along with sex appeal) was too fast and gamey. IMO.</p>

<p>Doesn’t flashiness enable workers to be able to be booked in a high spot match?</p><p> </p><p> Terrible aerial but good enough flashiness would be find in a high spot match at least it was in TEW 16.</p>

<p>$2 for a PPV is probably too low but a small company definitely isn’t getting that many buys if they are charging over $20. Maybe they will see that many buys if the PPV actually did cost $2.</p><p> </p><p> Definitely a balancing issue going on though.</p>

A small note saying someone is currently improving would be good.
