[Gungner]

In my experience, face vs face matches suffers less than heel vs heel matches, which I would say reflects reality.

<p>What exactly makes a worker become happy with their victory? (Like to get the morale boost)</p><p> </p><p>

is it when they defeat someone they see as above them or is it just random?</p>

If not, then one way to to boost overness without killing another guy is use the booking notes- protect or keep strong so they don't lose as much in losing- you trade off a little bit in match grades but it can be worth it to get a guy over. You can also put them into angles with more over workers and they can gain that way.</p><p> </p><p> The thing is though, if you get him over, you will have to push him higher or he'll become unhappy, and then if you want to keep him there, he will have to win at the expense of someone else at times.</p>

[Gypsumstack]

<p>This is a pre-emptive question I guess, but how would you go about extending a contract for a short term worker on limited dates by adding one or two extra dates?</p><p> </p><p>

Playing Rising Storm as a created company, I signed Big John Studd to a short term contract with only 4 appearances. After finalizing the contract I thought of an idea that would need at least one more appearance. Can I extend his contract by apearances? If he has 2 appearances left and I re-sign him for 1 will the game register that I want him for 3 more appearances or just the 1 I resigned him for? He is being used specifically to feed to Sid Vicious to give Sid something to do on a PPV that doesn't involve my World Title or the guy he is in a storyline with, so I have no intention to keep him long term unless he sets the world on fire.</p>

[GiantChair]

You will need to negotiate 3 appearances.

[WynterWarm12]

<p>Thanks to all who keep answering my endless questions lol</p><p> </p><p>

I, of course have another one <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Is writing detailed angles in Angle Writer even worth it? Like, if I went into show history, would they even show up where you can see the full angle? Or will it just be the title of the angle itself?</p><p> </p><p>

Immersion is a big part of my enjoyment in the game. Would be cool to be able to see full angles <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

I don't understand how overness works. Once people get to midcard level, they seem to freeze unless I cannibalise someone else's overness by having them beat a upper midcarder/main eventer.

 

In my game, Morgan Malone has a Legendary gimmick, has won 80% of his matches against midcarders (most on TV), has regular angles and has held two titles - and yet his overness has not changed a single point.

 

Am I missing something, or do I have to drag someone else down to boost him?

 

Part of this depends on your company size as well.

 

I seem to prefer trying to take a local company and make it as far as I can before growing bored. One thing I've noticed is that even my main eventers rarely get their popularity too much above the popularity of the promotion and a true midcarder never does.

 

However, that doesn't mean you can't see increases. I've had one midcarder go from F+ popularity up to E+ without causing someone else to completely tank. It was a combination of good matches and losing matches to more over wrestlers while having "keep strong" as one of the road agent notes, so that they look capable even though they lost as expected.

 

But it does take time. You'll hear tales of someone going from no popularity to main event popularity quickly, but its always for a national/international company, with the wrestler receiving a "monster" push and doing main events matches that score very high.

 

For a regular midcarder, you have to just keep them working hard at interesting fans.

 

Angles help

A good gimmick can really help.

Wrestling matches they do well in helps

and growing your company helps.

 

It will be slow, but you'll see results.

[mvargus]

Sorry, gonna ask again since I didn't get an answer before...

 

How can I increase the prestige of a belt? It dropped about 5 points and I don't know why. I want to improve it again.

 

Is it related to title match quality, defenses or popularity of the champion?

 

It's pretty much tied to match quality, the popularity of the champion and the prestige of the types of matches its contested in. If you have it change hands all the time and "falls count anywhere" its not going to mean as much as a title that is only contested in the monthly PPV shows.

 

The easiest way to improve it is to make sure the matches contesting it are as good as possible, as that will push the prestige up.

[tambourin81]

Those anybody have an idea how to simulate a "seasonal" TV format à la Lucha Underground in TEW?

 

I thought about using a touring schedule, but I believe a remember that touring schedule means that your TV programs automatically default to "Highlights Packages" which is not what I have in mind.

 

 

Thoughts, anyone?

Just create a 4 hour show, and book 4 1 hour shows within that show, and you can act like the next 4 TV shows are booked there. It's a very good idea and it works... Still disappointed that there's no Mass Tapings in TEW, don't know how hard it is for Adam to put in though... But if he could do it, I hope he will eventually. Anyways, I'm rambling...</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

<p>Actually I was in the midst of testing a company set to be "Entirely TV" as well as touring. If it goes as I think, it would only have the weekly taping every week, and in off months (season break) they wouldn't run shows at all and no monthly events either.</p><p> </p><p>

You also get touring deals to act as single season gigs as well. I just wish the AI made more matches in a single hour show. You can schedule season finale events to be special events (broadcast on the same network) as well.</p>

Would an appearance "via satellite" be considered an off screen appearance?

<p>I finally joined the TEW 2016 family! Great game, btw, Adam. And, as I promised, I will now read the entire dev journal to see every single new feature. I already experienced a few on my first try outs with the game, but I will do as I promised and read them all, since I had said (and did so) that I wouldn't ready any until I had the game. However, I can't play a new TEW without an incredible amount of stuff I haven't found yet, so instead of creating a new thread, I ask here:</p><p> </p><p>

- Can I use the TEW 2013 skins on TEW 2016? Or even dual grades/numbers or any other graphic?</p><p> </p><p>

- Can I use the taskbar buttons (dunno what else to call them) I used in 13? Cause the originals are so small and a bit confusing to me.</p><p> </p><p>

- If not, is there any of these graphics already for TEW 2016? Is there any way I could be linked to all the graphics available? Couldn't find much on the forums.</p><p> </p><p>

- Are there already good RW mods for 16? As in Fleisch's work, for example, already out? I notice a lot of new Mod Makers, but do not know their work. Is any of them like Genadi or Fleisch? In the way that they prefer reduced but more realistic stats. I ask cause that's the kind of mods I like. What are the best mods out there?</p><p> </p><p>

I ask cause I couldn't find some of those things after browsing the forums, if you can help me I would appreciate it. I loved my red Skin on 13 and would love to be able to use it on 16.</p><p> </p><p>

Last but not least, great game Adam. A lot of stuff that me (and others) asked is finally there (Finally the auto-booker!) and I salute you for listening to your player base. I haven't read all the new features yet, but so far it's looking very good! </p><p> </p><p>

I am very excited with the game and I hope to spend even more hours playing it than I have in all previous iterations.</p>

[iruleall15]

<p>So quick question. Im playing as TCW. TRying to impove my PPV and TV deals. Well I got a USA PPV deal, and a Canada deal. Now for Mexico since there is no deal only for Mexico so I want to sign with USA Sports 1 since they have the best coverage in Mexico. They allow me to sign. But due to its USA and Canada coverage will that somehow impact me negatively at all? Since I already have a USA/Canada deal with other broadcasters?</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

Also whats the difference between having a PPV deal with a PPV broadcaster vs a Commercial broadcaster? Outside of the explanations given in the game</p>
