Tomato Can Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Is there a way to know when a guy is ready to be brought back up to the parent company? Is there a way to track a developmental workers progress SINCE being sent down? I really wish my child company could send me an email saying, "Sting is ready to be brought up. If you dont bring him up soon his morale will drop." ETC Any help would be great. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigpapa42 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 This has been asked a number of times in the Small Questions. No, there is specific way to know. Its easy enough to track - look at their attributes page where it shows changes. The most basic reason you don't get an email or notification saying someone is "ready" is that its really too difficult to assess that. Too many factors. A worker might have reached their developmental cap in certain skills, but not others - which ones are the important ones? That's going to vary based on factors like the product, intended role, etc. Its basically going to be different for every user, so its up to the user to decide when they are "ready".

Lex Star Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 <p>For me, they are ready when I am ready to expand and debut some more people on my roster. I just got a 'B' Show in my TCW game, so I'm gonna debut a few people, probably Jay Chord, Eagle Kawasawa, Mainstream Hernandez, bring up Buddy Garner from training people and replace him with Bryan Vessey who I've all but buried pushing Sammy Bach...</p><p> </p><p> and The Big Problem. I'm gonna mega-push Big Problem, and see what kind of match Wolf Hawkins can get out of him, plan is to have Problem become World Champ before 2011, I might wait a bit for TBP, but I do want him to be a monster World Champion eventually...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more, product doesn't even guarantee any kind of accuracy. My preferred product in this edition of the game is an aerial oriented sports entertainment product on paper. But as a booker, I value performance skills above all else. So a dev promotion telling me a worker is "ready" because their charisma maxed out would be meaningless if they can't work safe or sell or be consistent or go longer than 15 minutes without blowing up. And I think making you fill out some kind of form ("Notify me when worker's X gets to this level, their Y gets to this level, and their Z is above this number") would be unwieldy.</p><p> </p><p> The answer is simple: keep an eye on your prospects.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 <p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Well, you could specify with your child company that they were to focus on improving worker's in certain areas - for example SWF would want brawlers with charisma.</span></p><p> </p><p> <span style="font-family:Verdana;">But realistically getting an e-mail to say that 'worker X is unhappy in development and has stopped putting in the effort' or 'worker Y has little more to learn in development' would be useful.

Genadi Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 As a generale guide when I'm viewing my dev guys at the start of every month I keep scrolling down until I see at least a B- in performance skills. Bar a few special exclusions this is a must for my main roster, unless an established star or too old to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 <p>Anyone who has seen my mod knows I have A LOT of workers in development. Only four are upset about it. Why? Because they need to learn some humility. They're not good enough for the main roster thus, they stay in development. A worker who doesn't want to go to development can have a Coke & a smile and shut the heck up, in my view. If they were good enough for your main roster, they'd be there upon signing. Worker morale in this edition is so easy to manipulate, even a worker with the far left face (seriously angry) can be brought around in due time (without resorting to throwing money at them).</p><p> </p><p> I'd agree that an email saying someone's got their panties in a bunch while in development would be useful, I'd just delete it and move on to the next one. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWO4until01 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 <p>got a question thats loosely related...</p><p> </p><p> If I send someone down to development to train other workers and he says he doesnt want to and he's not a teacher, is that the game telling me he wont train well or is that him just being a sook?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
