Popularity up by .01?


Recommended Posts

I'm not sure why... but my popularity in WCW has gone up by .1 in every area that I don't broadcast PPVs in, including ones I've yet to run House Shows on. I have no idea why this has happened... I mean I did sign 3 new PPV deals but my first PPV with my new carriers won't be for another 2 weeks. Anyone have any idea why this happened? I mean I only broadcast Nitro and Thunder in the US right now and The Great American Bash was only shown in the US?

Hey there, Ransik It's entirely possible that word has leaked out about your upcoming PPVs, they're going to be shown in those respective areas, and the .1 pop increase is fans holding their collective breath in anticip...

...pation. ;) Failing that, it's quite possibly occuring in areas adjoining the areas where your PPVs air. Do not underestimate the Powers of the Spill-Over, young Luke. Seriously, though, spill-over would be a likely culprit, esp. if you're into your game a few months or more and have regular PPVs airing in a variety of US areas, which is what it sounds like. Failing all of the above, it's probably a bug. And since we don't want to bother Adam with it, and you'll definately want to get rid of that unwarranted popularity as fast as you can, you can send it (postage pre-paid) to: Angel Athletic Association care of NordVolf PO Box 68125 Seattle, Washington 98121 We'll take good care of that for you. See that it's properly disposed of... :cool:

Distribution is set to DVD... would that be my culprit? I still have 2/3 of the game world as not having seen any TV shows or PPV... only had 6 House Shows but hit everywhere in the US so far. I double-checked and only the US (minus Hawaii and Puerto Rico) have seen any WCW programming in 6 weeks on TV or PPV.

Ok now I must be crazy.... here's what WCW starts off as; [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/ransik/tewcap1.jpg[/url] And here's what I am without any shows being broadcast outside the continental US; [url]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v98/ransik/tewcap2.jpg[/url] Now I'm gonna assume the game had to insert popularity to match the International Status when I began it... but I think it's rather weird that in the UK and Europe it's an even number... and the other areas have gone up by .1% for no reason. *scratches head*

It's already been answered twice - its spillover. In your first screenshot (from the main editor), spillover is not calculated, whereas in the 2nd one (in game editor), it now has. Certain areas (Canada / Japan) gets the spillover from your huge popularity in USA, others (UK) don't. Spillover always goes to the exact lowest % of the grade - eg Japan = 47.1% = lowest possible % in D+ grade.
