Gosh darn it it must be the automatic call in the ring! Either that or my game is cursed. Top puro guys must get a huge bonus from call in the ring. Not at computer right now, but I'll find out soon. This is 1 of the greatest mysteries in TEW history.</p>

None of them fixed the problem. I wasn't picking horrible road agents notes either according to the dirt sheet. I only was once in a while.

I barley used any road agent notes to see if they were causing the worse off matches. I use the dirt sheet. The road agent notes weren't causing any major problems except for 2 or 3 matches at the most. There was 1 major thing I changed that I forgot about. I got rid of the automatic call in ring every match. I didn't use it much because I wasn't using many road agent notes. PGHW has pretty much all the top Puro rating guys in the Cornellverse. I wonder if you get a huge bonus for using call in ring with top Puro rating guys. My gut told me the psychology rating effected how good call in the ring worked. I'll check on that tomorrow. That might be it.</p>

<p>Sorry for all of the questions. I'm new to playing the game.</p><p> </p><p> 1. Can a development company sign a contract with a broadcast company? I don't have an option to do this. </p><p> </p><p> 2. What is the point of having 4-5 minute segments? I have some workers that have a mid 80 popularity rating. I like to do angles with them based on overness. I know that you need at least 4 minutes in a segment for it to count towards the show rating, but when I do a 4-5 minute segment at the best it gets around mid 80s because in the dirt sheet it says the rating was capped because of the length of the segment. If I do a 9-10 minute segment than I don't have that capped penalty and sometimes I can get ratings 90+. Why would I ever want to do a 4-5 minute segment when the rating gets capped? </p><p> </p><p> 3. Why can the AI get such better ratings than me? I'm playing the Cornellverse 2010 mod. When I don't play as PGHW, PGHW are able to consistently get show ratings of 88-93. When I play PGHW I consistently get ratings between 77-86. I tried changing the products drastically, and not changing the product at all. I tried using tons of road agents notes, and very few road agent notes. I tried the same thing with match aims. I've tried having a high motivation rating and a low motivation rating. There was never anything majorly wrong with morale or the backstage area. I've tried all of these things but I still can't get my workers to get the same ratings as the AI can. Muruyama, Ugaki, Miwa, Kwakami, Kawashima, and Diaz are getting ratings that I usually can't get them to have. I can't figure out why this is happening.</p>

I love the stories you guys come up with.

Allman is supposed to anti-SE yet PWI is heavy mainstream. I always wondered if others heavily lower the anti-SE rating of PWI when they play it. I do whether I am playing them or not. I feel like it should be set to low or very low. Sounds like what WWE is rumored to be doing in 2018.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I love this thread.

I don't know how I missed that! If a worker appears in an angle but is not rated on anything in the angle, can the angle still affect their popularity?</p>

Are you guys playing for a top 5 company, or are you guys playing for lower-tier companies, because I wouldn't of expected the people you mentioned unless it was a lower-tier company. I was interested in Samoan Destruction Inc as a team that mostly loses in PGHW. The thing is 1 of them always gets a written deal in 16, luckily that doesn't happy in the 10 mod I am playing.

That includes 3 workers scouted high enough so I could see their full number which had close to a 65. I do feel though that there is enough now.

I'm very, very, very obsessive with some things in life, and that includes realism in an important part of a project. TEW falls into that. You can view the PGHW official thread for more on that if you would like. That title history I did is outdated though, because I didn't find it realistic enough. I'm posting the new title history as part of a mod I will be releasing in the next week or 2. Might as well not post it for suspense or something <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.</p><p> </p><p> 3.

Has anyone ever used a woman's division solely for eye candy, and to calm the crowd/work the crowd? Does it work well in the Thunderverse? I was planning on running this for a low cult promotion in America. The thing is I was very surprised with how few available woman workers had high sex appeal ratings. Even including the woman with exclusive deals there aren't that many. I feel like I would have to use a woman division for this as the male wrestlers I have are going to greatly outshine the women. There are only a few good woman wrestlers in the Thunderverse.

What is the benefit of going to war with someone? It only seems to hurt you because of the exclusive deals and the dirty tricks.

Random scenario I thought about as I am booker for a company that has an owner that is almost 70. If the owner of the company you are booking for dies or leaves the wrestling world can you apply to replace him as owner? Or does the game choose an owner without you having any control?

Are you going to have bios for the characters? Man, this must be tons and tons of work. Thanks for doing this!
