Im WWE & need help

[boydy]

Im WWE Ive got my product as medium for everything with match danger as 60% & match intensity as 60% & my popularity has gone from what it was down to regional within a month, its always saying my shows increased my popularity but yet Ive gone from National to Regional in less then 4 weeks, what am I doing wrong ? can anyone help me

Where are you running your shows? Its possible your popularity has gone up at that Venue, but gone down at the others. Dropping from National to Regional in 4 weeks is quite the feat.

Going from National to Regional would require an enormous overness drop from more than 72% across the country to less than 35% in any region... the only thing I can suggest is that you've been changing your product [b]a lot[/b] and ignoring the warnings about "driving your fans away". This seems to be the only way you could possibly lose that much overness in that time. Although also, the note about increasing overness is for the area you hold the show in as Gigas says. If your shows are being broadcast in an area and they are of a lower rating than the area they are shown in, then they will also drop in the area. Running a B rated show in an area where you are C popular will help in that area, but will hurt in an area where it is shown and you are at A popularity. But... seriously, National to Regional is a HUGE fall, you must be doing something outside of your shows to cause that and the product settings is all I can think of. Derek B

Agreed. WWE fans [I]don't[/I] want 60% match danger or intensity with any degree of regularity. They [I]do[/I] want a lot more Entertainment than you're offering, as well. With Medium everything, you're giving your promotion no focus, your workers are probably confused, and the fans even more so. You have no clear direction in which to take your fed, and this is clearly coming across in your shows. Who have you been booking in your shows, incidentally. Is it Val Venis vs. Charlie Haas in the main events? It is vitally important in this game to try and build your shows towards a peak at the end of your show, and that means putting Edge, Batista, RVD etc. in your main events. Try and use advance booking to build heat for your events. Have a clear idea of what each PPV is going to offer, and focus the preceding month's shows on building those matches as much as possible. Use your most over workers as much as possible, both to maintain their overness in their own right, and to occasionally job to someone lower down the card to build [I]their[/I] popularity upwards.

WWE's product MUST have Mainstream as a Key Feature if you want it to be anything like the promotion in reality. I'd say Traditional should be heavy as well. 60% intensity and danger is WAY too high for real life WWE. Besides that, I'd concur with derek_b. You must've changed your product in the game (not the editor) a whole lot to bleed off that much popularity. If you have WWE set up anything close to reality, you'll have TV shows with pretty wide market saturation (which means, a lot of people in a lot of areas can see your show). Where you hold your shows is important since, if you get a bad rating because the show is held in an area you have low popularity, it's going to impact your popularity everywhere that show is broadcast. So no holding RAW in Japan or Europe. You'd increase your popularity there, yes, but everywhere else would take a pretty big hit (a C-/C show could be disastrous for WWE).
