<p>Is this possible?</p><p> </p><p>

Is it possible to buy TEW 2016 twice on one computer? I am trying to buy it again and give the code to a friend who doesn't have the game. When I download the document that's on GDS it says that "TEW 2016 has been downloaded to your computer" and yes that is true, but I want to buy it again just to get another code to give away.</p>

<p>Got a question guys,</p><p>

I got a negative dirt sheet about "lack of psychology" on a 20 minutes match for a main event with road agent note Slow Build, Call In Ring. The psychology of two superstar 76 and 78. Why is this happened?</p><p> </p><p>

While I paired the 78 psychology and a wrestler with 75 psychology, and no negative dirt sheet. </p><p> </p><p>

What's actually possible variable affecting this?</p>

Short answer: 78 and 75 were not enough for that match.

 

I'll let derek or D-Lyrium or someone else give you the long answer. My long answer probably wouldn't be easily understandable (but it would be LONG).

 

Doesn't have to be that long Remi.

 

Basically, early on in the calculation of the match rating (more or less after the top row skills are factored in) there is a check on psychology to see if the workers can actually perform to that level. If the psychology score is about 85% or lower than the match rating at that point, there can be a psychology penalty. But there are still many potential bonuses to get after that (like momentum, charisma, star quality and more) to boost the rating higher still.

 

The difference between Call In Ring, Scripted and using neither cann help too... high psych workers can get extra bonuses to pull matches up, having one worker better than the other will generally cover for the weaker worker a significant bit and scripting is good when workers have relatively weak psychology. Tailor that to your workers and then good things can happen.

Got a question guys,

I got a negative dirt sheet about "lack of psychology" on a 20 minutes match for a main event with road agent note Slow Build, Call In Ring. The psychology of two superstar 76 and 78. Why is this happened?

 

While I paired the 78 psychology and a wrestler with 75 psychology, and no negative dirt sheet.

 

What's actually possible variable affecting this?

 

Essentially, their psychology was below the grade of the over all match so far during the calculation of the match grade. It shouldn't be a major penalty. It just means that when it got to figuring in the psychology, the match was higher than 76/78 and therefor was penalized. I'm half asleep so hopefully some part of this makes sense.

[Dr. Hook]

What triggers a body type change for a User Character? Or Is it purely random?

[Bazman1981]

I'd guess you're doing something wrong. I've never had that happen and I typically have 10+ storylines going at any given time. Couple questions come to mind:

 

1) Are these angles running on the main show?

2) Are they all 'major' angles?

3) How long are these angles?

4) Do you have people set up in the storyline as aligned with each other? So, for example, AJ aligned with John Cena and Reigns aligned with Rollins.

5) What version are you using/Did you install the latest patch?

 

I always run major angles of a minimum 6 minutes long and only 'Unit' tag teams are set up in storylines as aligned.

 

Thank-you for the reply, I've realised what I was doing wrong, I had some of them set to minor roles which having read up a bit more I realise doesn't add to the rating unless there are 2 with major role in the angle or match.

So I have a predicament.. in my HGC 1997 game, Sam Strong the prick won't let me drop his title to anyone, even when kept strong against Rip Chord who is almost the same popularity He has creative control, anyone have any ideas besides a tag match where someone else takes the fall?

So, I have a few guys with poor morale, which is do to feeling isolated backstage. Any way to tackle this, or is it just to hope that everything works out? I know you can meddle, but only between two people, not between one man and the rest of the lockerroom.

I don't think they can kick up a fuss in angles except for scripting.
