I have a memory of being able to choose the level of worker input for their gimmick, back in TEW 2013. Is this still a thing in '16? If so, where? Because I haven't seen it.

It's not. Gimmicks are more straightforward now.

I just raised Seth Rollins' monthly pay from around $25,000 per month to $65,000 per month. I honored his request. So why is his morale still irritated because of toxic backstage atmosphere (mostly toxic from steroid suspensions involving other talent)? Are you kidding? I more than doubled his salary and he's still "irritated"? It seems like the negatives hold a lot more weight than the positives. Shouldn't it be more relative? This pay raise type of positive should be worth a ton of regular positives in my opinion. After getting exactly what he wanted, there's no way his morale should stay the same. Realistically, wouldn't his morale move into a happy direction? I've had this happen with numerous talent now. I've never met someone who was so passive and uncaring about a massive pay raise.

 

People have an easier time recalling the bad than the good. A waiter can serve you 10 times and give extraordinary service, but the 11th time she drops hot coffee on your lap. Even if she gives you extraordinary service 10 more times, you will always remember the hot coffee.

That's true.. but it's not quite the same as this. Nothing negative happened to Seth Rollins directly. None of his friends were involved either. He's still receiving extraordinary service from me. He's my figurehead and I've protected him at all costs. He's getting a massive superstar push as Universal Champion and an insane pay raise that made him the highest paid wrestler in the entire universe (of course, Lesnar wage matched him soon after). There has been no "hot coffee" spilled in his direction. I've treated him pretty damn well, actually.

There is a constant negative mark every single show if the backstage morale is bad, that's what the problem is. His new raise is a one time thing, every single show he takes a hit from being in a bad locker room.

 

Being irritated is the smallest possible side of bad morale though so you have a lot of time before it gets out of control.

As ECW I recently rose from regional to cult. With booking I do auto booking then edit, that way I have several matches and angles planed. Now since I became cult the length of the matches have increased in auto booker. How do I fix that?

Anybody try awarding someone an Alliance Titles to make a worker available in your game area? Is that an exploit/cheating you think?

[theman98223]

Can your user character die of old age? If so, what happens?

[LordofGustav]

When an alliance folds, it's titles become buyable?

Do you need matches involved to retain heat in a story? because it seems that my storylines heat is flatlining when matches arent involved. (although my other storylines have low heat too)

Do different body types (muscular, flabby, etc) actually make a difference of are they there for flavour?

[eddie the ed]

Sorry if this has been answered but currently playing T-zones real world mod as WWE and every time I get to a PPV it asks me to pick my broadcasters. It's set up so WWE has a bunch of PPV deals and the Network. I can only choose the network or PPV deals that don't cross over territory wise. This isn't realistic as in the UK for example Sky Box Office shows all WWE PPV's but we can also get the Network which shows them all. This doesn't appear an option on the game

I don't know all the details, but it's the beginning of an answer: when the body type changes, it's accompanied by one-time boosts (or penalties I guess?) to Star Quality... possibly other stats.

So "yes". For exact details, someone else will have to answer.

 

EDIT: and someone did before me actually, ha

Is it possible to close child companies? I have two right now and would prefer to have all my development talent in one place.

<p>Maybe I'm just too tired and completely looking past it, but where can you view TV ratings? I got the email on the rating I had for Nitro, but I want to compare it to Raw's rating and I can't find it anywhere.</p><p> </p><p>

It's not in the same place as it was in TEW '13.</p>

I'm trying to start my Smackdown diary and I split Raw and Smackdown into two separate companies. Everytime I run my first show I fall to National and as a company we're in shock for 6 months. Can't figure out why it's happening except maybe my roster isn't meeting ideal size possibly? If that is the case, does having people as "sometime" wrestlers not help fix those numbers?

[Henderson]

Thanks. So there's no page anymore that gives a rundown of all the ratings? Bummer.

Hey has anybody else had the issue where when they sign into the forum, pictures from imgur won't appear? They work fine when I'm not signed in, but as soon as I log in they all just revert to URLs.
