Why does development always stall at 80?


Recommended Posts

Even with characters I have pre-set to "Excellent" potential, the stats stop increasing AT ALL at 80. They don't even bump 0.1 on anyone. Anyone who starts with over 80 never gains anything. I have a bunch of people pre-set to "Excellent" potential, but NONE of them are gaining any stats, and they're all 20-21 years old as well.

 

Any insight here? I'd like to develop my talent, but it seems impossible.

<p>Um, I think there's been a bit of a miscommunication here.</p><p> </p><p>

I don't have them in development, I just mean I'm trying to develop them.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm using them on every weekly show and on PPVs for my main company, but their stats are never going up, not even by 0.1. I'm NOT putting them in development trying to get over 80. That'd be kinda silly.</p><p> </p><p>

Sorry if I wasn't clearer. My bad.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm using them, and they're gaining nothing. That's the problem I'm having. Not even a 0.1 increase after six months of constant use. It's like it goes right up to 80 and stalls. Around 80. Sometimes it stalls at 79, sometimes 81 or so. You get the idea, though. I can't seem to develop my talents even through regular use of them. Like one of my main eventers is a 21 year old with 82 brawling, and after six months of constant use on shows, he's still at 82.0 without gaining even a 0.1. This means 82 is the best he'll get despite being set to Excellent potential. I set them to that so they'd still have room to improve, but he and many of my other workers gain absolutely nothing in the in-ring stats.</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: This also only seems to effect direct in-ring stats (Rumble, Aerial, and Technical) and not Performance skills (which still seem to go up a little).</p><p> </p><p>

I'm basically asking if I'm missing some key to triggering character development. I'm not the best player in the game. I admit that. I don't grasp a lot of it. I admit my weakness. I just need help.</p>

The best way to improve at anything in life is to work with people better than you. Singing. Acting. Dynasty Writing. Fly Fishing. Wrestling. I have no inside knowledge of how TEW works, but I expect that people improve based on who they're fighting. If your 82 brawling rookie is battling 99-rated brawlers, then I'd be a little surprised at a lack of improvement. If he's fighting 65-rated brawlers, then I wouldn't be surprised at all.</p><p> </p><p> 82 is fantastic. AWESOME for a top row stat. I sometimes think Numbers make people underestimate folks abilities. A C+ to me looks good. Solid. Dependable. 66% however looks a bit sub-par, despite having the exact same effect. Might just be my perception though.</p>

So they're all 20 or 21... Ever consider also that they might not be able to hit their peak until later in life? How many wrestlers do you see IRL who become "perfect" in their early 20s? It's not like Silvan Grenier or Ken Doane or Chris Masters were amazing at that age (three most recent examples on the big stage).

Why would you even expect them to be 99.8% in brawling when they turn 24 <img alt=":rolleyes:" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>
