Honestly I kinda agree If the text was a least still a graphic we could design it and change it what he wanted, I personally used the number/grades custom graphics and it gave me a real sense of accomplishment when I booked well, now we lost the graphical customization, the text is too darn small and it is now yellow for some reason when we used to use light blue to signify the best despite the fact that in no scale ever has yellow been better than green

<p>Just wondering if anyone else ran any tests?</p><p> </p><p> I’m curious if anyone else decided to to run tests to see how or if the sex appeal stat affects angles?</p>

I may test that later But right now I gave myself a migraine so I’ll see about maybe testing this later

I completely agree would add a lot From playing Hardcore Promotion to a more attitude era style promotion to seeing news stories about furious sponsers (USPW) I feel it would help expand the world a bit and add a little more diversity in promotions

Hmm test results First to make sure we’re on the same page all workers have no entertainment stats barring sex appeal which is what the test is checking and no popularity (all segments will be 5 minutes for ease of tests) To start off my Zero popularity and Zero sex appeal girl scored a zero when rating the angle on entertainment (this is to be expected) Girl number 2 with Zero Pop & Zero entertainment stats except for 40 sex appeal also scored a zero when rated on entertainment (hmm no bonus to segments with 40 sex appeal) Girl number 3 with zero pop & zero entertainment stats except for 70 sex appeal also scored a zero when rated on entertainment (this is strange as again no boost at all in the dirt sheet but 71 was the old cutoff for “attractive “) Girl Number 4 with zero pop & zero entertainment stats except 100 sex appeal scored a 2 when rated on entertainment (THAT IS ALL!? Checking the dirt sheet shows there is no boost related to sex appeal the only reason she got a 2 was she randomly started with high momentum) ————————————————————————————————————————— Girl number 1 again (zero pop, stats or sex appeal) scored a zero when rated on charisma Girl number 2 (Zero Pop, Stats And 40 sex appeal) scored a zero too on charisma segment Girl number 3 (zero pop, stats and 70 sex appeal) gave me a zero when rated on charisma Girl number 4 (zero pop, stats and 100 sex appeal) scored a 4 on charisma segment (which again came from her momentum and not a non existent sex appeal boost) ————————————————————————————————————————— Girl number 5 (100 pop, zero stats, & 0 sex appeal) scored a 47 on entertainment segment Girl number 6 (100 pop, zero stats and 40 sex appeal) scored a 55 on entertainment segment Girl number 7 (100 pop, zero stats, 70 sex appeal) also scored a 55 on entertainment segment? Girl number 8 (100 pop, zero stats, 100 sex appeal ) scored a 59 on entertainment (it should be noted though that there is no sex appeal boost at all in the dirt sheet) ————————————————————————————————————————— Girl number 5 again but rated on charisma this time scored a 50 Girl number 6 again but rated on charisma this time scored a 50 as well Girl number 7 again but rated on charisma scored a 55 Girl number 8 again but rated on charisma got a 53? (Must be the momentum) ———————————————————————————————————————— Thus the data concludes that there is no boost from sex appeal in entertainment based segments or charisma based segments according to the dirt sheet Also not entirely related but charisma gets the “nothing interesting” penalty for some reason ————————————————————————————————————————— As a bonus I ran two tag match one with girls 1-4 and the other with girls 5-8 which got the following grades The 1-4 girls gave a 41 rating which acknowledges there sex appeal despite zero popularity (or the high basics and psychology boosted it) And the 5-8 girls scored a 76 which means a 100 pop difference results in a 35 match rating difference ————————————————————————————————————————— Gonna take a break from testing but I’ll keep checking the thread from time to time to check others thoughts on my experiment

Ok I’ll test angles rated on charisma and entertainment With 0, 40, 70, and 100 sex appeal I’ll test with zero pop first then 100

That could be a nice addition It could Allow me to better portray my rookie competition show (early nxt) Now I just need to figure out some good competitions lol

Is there anything in particular related to the topic someone wants tested? I got some free time if anyone wants another test for certain scenarios to help out

I’d like the addition But it would obviously have to be only be a boost in certain product types, maybe even an expectation in others? I imagine it would artificially bump up the content rating rather than just give a boost, which would in turn give a boost to more violent promotions but possibly anger your sponsors? Does adding “blading” as a road agent tag add more points in theory or raise content rating instead? I’d honestly have it boost content rating myself but I’m curious to hear others thoughts on the issue I’d add the potential for a wrestler to accidentally bleed which would be effected by toughness and safety ideally while adding in attributes To add blading it would ideally make some new attributes such as Heavy Bleeder - This wrestler when busted open via blading or accidentally bleeds more than usual thus increasing the content rating an extra level Hard to bleed - doesn’t effect blading but decreases the chance of accidentally getting busted open Easy to Bleed - doesn’t effect blading but increases the chance of accidentally getting busted open Bad blader - This wrestler has a increased chance of being caught blading thus lowering the rating of the match or angle Master Blader - This wrestler will never be caught blading thus will never have a chance of lowering a rating by being caught Will not blade - These wrestlers see blading as primitive and barbaric and will never blade if set as an owner they will never ask their wrestlers to blade either Money Blader - These wrestlers will only blade on major shows and up Blood Warrior - These Workers are always willing to blade Auto Blader - These wrestlers have a tendency to blade at their own discretion and thus could help or hurt their matches depending on the company and may cause major issues via a tommy Cornell Probably could think of some more but I’m curious what others think first

Honestly while I’m not against the idea completely I feel we should make sure sex appeal is actually balanced and viable to use before we add additional attributes with it in mind, It seems some people here are stuck on the popularity over skill argument which is only part of the issue , yes popularity should have a noticeable effect in the calculation than sex appeal But with the 30/70 split it just makes eye candy matches and angles unviable after a while, when add to the caps I’ve seen as a test I ran an eye candy match with two women at 100 sex appeal and 0 popularity, and another test with 2 women at 100 sex appeal and popularity The matches got the following in the Risqué Adult Product (it’s important to note the show I ran has 0 popularity or importance and the women have zero on actual in ring ability except safety, Stamina, Experience, Basics, And Psychology, I also have no announcers, and the road agent is Java who has 73 psychology, 100 experience and Respect ) The product penalizes any segments over 5 minutes :/ even if Sex Appeal isn’t the focus or even in the segment the 2 100 popularity girls with zero mic skill got a 45 btw in their modern tv opening Match 1 with a zero pop vs a zero pop bombshell end up getting a 47 (honestly 100 psychology was probably a bad idea to test this but some one might be able to use this data) Match 2 with 100 pop workers and same stats to the other two girls got a 79 Other detail I noticed is even in this product style 15 minutes is too long a match for an eye candy bout So hopefully this data helps a bit as the fact is if a women wrestler achieves 100 psychology then you probably aren’t sticking them in an eye candy match at all thus these rating would likely be much lower is 79 the absolute max an eye candy match should be able to do is the question I guess? Personally I’d go with 85 but that’s just my opinion curious what others “cap” would be, I’m sure I didn’t test everything I could have but hopefully this is useful to someone

Honestly I’d go back to 60/40 If that’s where the old 16 setting was, it made using sex appeal viable without being able to rely on it after awhile, I used to book an eye candy division inside my normal women’s division used to get solid ratings but nothing crazy, now I don’t think I could even consider it if we are keeping the same formula for rating it’ll make the stat near pointless and kill off any reason to try sex appeal promotion in the product list.

I got an idea 😝 Find them a young female manager and call them “3 men and a babe”

Help for another Step 1: Go to your office in game Step 2: Go to roster Step 3: Click the worker in question you want to be managed Step 4: Click the top most Yellow Text (It displays the workers name and age) Step 5: In your new pop up there will be some drop down checklists in the middle of the screen one of them is Manager so just choose from that list. If you need any other help feel free to ask I'll try and help if I can

Hmm I’m ok with this being in But if one were to fire a worker after immediately getting them on steroids it should have a moderate chance to backfire via they accuse you of supplying steroids

I agree with this I’d love to promise the occasional title run, have it be a Workers demands if they do what I want , as for the player happy about the steroids chat feature, I don’t wanna be a negative Nancy but I don’t think you can convince wrestlers to take other drugs in the game (that sounded really weird lol)

I bring back a previous suggestion I had in a different post Perhaps we can have the occasional outlier on matches to an extent, say I book USPW which has an over 10 minute penalty, which severely limits my booking on shows, if I however say wish to book a Royal Rumble Match for them, then expect a heavy penalty to the point it kills my show as a whole, But what if using the rumble was ok btw of a new road agent note “special attraction”, depending on your product this could have a longer cooldown period or a shorter one, USPW for example is a family friendly promotion so their Special Attraction note would have a 2 month cool down period to represent that they rarely go out of their comfort zone. Using this note you see would disable match time and match type penalties (but wouldn’t disable severe match type penalties ) These Cooldowns can stack until they hit one year in which case any used will endure an extreme penalty to any match it’s used for, this could also possibly skew the other direction if the booker doesn’t book any “special attraction” matches thus resulting in the next year having twice the normal amount to potentially book, I’d imagine it’ll likely have a limit if implemented say 5 years Obviously the idea is just that an idea (even a rough one like this ), but I feel it could be potentially implemented and may solve one issue in the future
