onedirk Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 <p>Hey there, I just got TEW2016 and I've been playing about with it for a bit.</p><p> </p><p> 2 things I'm kinda unsure of (both regarding halls of fame):</p><p> </p><p> 1. The Hall of the Immortals, what exactly are the requirements for this? I couldn't find it anywhere in the Player's Handbook</p><p> </p><p> 2. For company Hall of Fames, I'm pretty sure it says that one of the things that make a wrestler eligible is that they headline a show. Does this mean they have to be the last segment? I usually throw an angle in after my main event, like a celebration or whatever. Does this disqualify them from earning their HOF status?</p><p> </p><p> Thanks <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darth_cuscus Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 <p>So I have a couple of questions about how developmental/child companies work.</p><p> </p><p> If I send someone down to a developmental company to train others, will worker's skills still improve if the trainer is a retired worker? Also should I hire some people with decent skills to work in the developmental company or will worker's skills improve even they aren't wrestling matches with skilled workers?</p><p> </p><p> Thanks in advance!</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoManOrton Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 I know you can get away with not having an announce team if you're not broadcasting your show, but is there any benefit to having one if you don't have a deal? Can they lift lesser matches even without being on TV? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d12345 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 In the C-Verse PGHW and NOTBPW are spamming 5-star matches. After Year 1 PGHW's Top 100 matches are ALL above 92 rating. I can't gauge whether this is realistic or if I'm just being a hater (cause I have such a tough time getting 95+ matches with TCW). Can I do something to quell the quality of matches that these 2 promotions have consistently? Maybe add a competing Product like mainstream to even out their ratings?

RingRider Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Anyone know if I break a worker's pop cap in the in-game editor, and then put it back, will the worker become a NBT? I just launched a new Rising Storms save and got Barry Hardy and Warlord as NBTs but not Shawn or Taker... not sure if I should just ditch the save...

MightyDavidson Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 So I'm playing NYCW. Since they don't actually have a TV show, do I really need to keep the announcer and color commentator around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've done is when I get close to being able to have a show is to hire an announce team so that by the time the show airs, they have some experience built up.

Many games with TEW 2013 started for me by firing the current crew and hiring Samuel Curran and Mac Smith and just letting them work together (unfortunately, Curran is on a written deal in TEW 2016).</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighDefOverDose Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 If I move Smackdown to a lesser time slot, I will have a lower expectation for overall rating from my broadcaster, but will I lose popularity overall by having lower rated shows, or if I still out perform the standards expected by my broadcaster will I continue to increase popularity? I'm not running it as a brand split, if that makes any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not running it as a brand split, if that makes any difference. Popularity gains and losses compare the show to existing popularity in the region that sees it, not broadcaster requirements. So if you exceed broadcaster expectations but grade lower than your popularity, you lose popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WrestleManiac Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Can someone explain finances to me, please? I've been making a steady profit for five months straight. No surprises in the finances. Everything is as I expect them. But, then I rise to Regional, and ticket sales have doubled, workers wages have doubled, show costs have doubled, marketing has gone up, and production costs have nearly doubled. Now, I expect this change from a jump in size... AFTER I've run my first show at the new size. My show was run on week 2, Saturday, October. I put on a small show. Rose to regional. I have yet to put on a regional show, yet I believe the finances at the end of the month are showing as if I've ran a regional show. Is this how it's supposed to work?

Silent_Thunder Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Do any of a figureheads negatives matter before he's established? I'm doing a RoH game and am thinking of making Jay Lethal my Figurehead, but he's currently a heel. If I start that ball rolling (takes a year right?), is it ok as long as he's turned face sometime before he becomes established? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
