Thank you for your posts regarding the popularity loss. I will try do the same fix that thadian explained because otherwise its annoying and extremly unrealistic. Had another PPV a few minutes ago. This time I only used tainted finishes and had still -7 and -8 popularity loss in 2 matches while the winners were not gaining anything. I can't even tell if everything is working as intended and the game really wants to handle popularity in such a frustrating way or if I am encountering a bug or something like that. Because the info text on many road agent notes literally says that using this note will help the loser to keep their popularity or at least reducing it but this obviously does not apply.

Do you also think that the popularity loss for losing is often too harsh? Or is there anything we can do about? Losing at a PPV often results in -6 or -7 pop while the winner does not gain anything and I am starting to question if I am doing anything wrong or if everything is working as intended. Last PPV my World Champion (78 popularity) dropped his world title after 7 months in a 30 minute 82-rated match against his challenger (74 pop and white hot momentum) and he immediately dropped down to 72 popularity. And of my midcard workers dropped from 63 to 59 after losing in an "open match" to another worker with 75. I actually used open match to push the less popular worker but...well, this was not working as I've planned. Was it always so "hard" to save workers from populairty losses in the older TEW-games?

I think there are people (including me) that do like to use the mechanics of the game (popularity, skills an so on) to have a little challenge when putting together shows and matches but do not want to be limited on who to push by a hard limit.

Patch 1.13 introduced the option to disable the natural growth limits of companies to give players the option to play more of an fantasy booker approach. So I was wondering if we could also have an option to disable worker popularity cap to play more like a fantasy booker.

Thank you, I was able to recover the mails in company news section. And of course I would never shredd any evidence. That the whistleblower was released one day after her interview is just a coincidence.

Hello everyone, there was a whistleblower scandal in my savegame today. One of my workers told media that there is a lot of substance abuse in my league. The news continue to describe that several of my sponsors already walked away from my league. So I opened my mails and there were 5 new mails with titles that included something with whistleblower outcome. But I accidentaly clicked "delete all mails" before opening them. Can anybody tell me what the content of this mails could have been? I bet it was something important. It is no doubt the most important thing that happened in my savegame and I am very sad that I made this mistake. Since I have autosave on, there is no possibility to go back and get the mails agains. Thank you very much.

<p>Can someone explain me how gaining popularity through angles work?</p><p> </p><p> I always thought that workers gain can popularity if I book them in angles with high rating but this does not seem to work. I'll give you 3 examples:</p><p> </p><p> - I called up a manager from my dev company and she had 30 pop when I called her up. She is now 3 months in the main roster and I constantly put her in segments with main eventers and the segments are always rated between - 50 and 70. But she did not gain any popularity yet.</p><p> Another worker is at 64 pop and already appeared in 3 or 4 segments that were rated 100 (together with one or two main eventers) and is also not gaining any popularity.</p><p> - My tag team champions are 65-66 pop each and are constantly having 75+ matches and 80+ angles but still not a single change in popularity during the last months.</p><p> </p><p> So it seems that winning matches against higher rated opponents is the only way to gain popularity?</p>

<p>Are you using the current patch (check the tech support forum to find the newest) patch?</p><p> </p><p> Are you running TEW in administrator mode? Is your PC-language english (I'm from germany and the game was actually unplayable until I changed time and date to US-standards)?</p><p> </p><p> I don't think that the Mod is responsible for your problems. It is more likely than of the things above causes the error-message.</p>

In my 2020 savegame WWE decided to reunite Mahal and McIntyre as 3MB and made them a permanent tag team.

When a new worker is generated the second line in his/her biography says how much the worker weights and how tall she/he is. I think this is a nice piece of information that gives a bit of depth to a new worker and make is easier to imagine them in our mind. However I think the organic biography feature is a bit better than just having static biographies. But a organic biography overwrites the height/weight informationen which is a bit sad. Wouldn't it be possible to have the option "add to biography" instead of completely overwrite it?

I also have 100% backstage area and only had 2 negative events in ~3 years. Both occured in the first few weeks of the savegame before the rating went up.

I think I actually offered per event bonus. And if I remember correctly the rival bid was without per event bonus.

Is it even possible to win against a rival bid? I'm three years in now and lost literally every bidding duel (I've tried it 20-30 times). I even lost today when I offered 25.000/month exclusive written + 40% merchandise and 25.000 signing bonus while the rival bid whas only 10.000 10% merchandise and no signing bonus. I am the 3rd most popular league in the world and the other league is 10th position. Is there any way to win against a rival bid if offering more than double is not enough? How does the game decides which contract offer will be accepted?

The name of this guy definitely says future main eventer. I'm just wondering if he will be accompanied to the ring by his dog moon moon.
