Does storyline heat get effected by the brand split? I have 3 brands, and once I start a story it has good heat but by the end of the my other brands shows the heat goes way down. Is there any way to prevent that while keeping 3 brands with exclusive rosters or should I just go back to 2 brands?

<p>So in my game, I had Hogan job the title to Vader. Needless to say he wasn't happy about it. I had him off of TV, including missing a PPV for about a month to sell it. I was planning to bring him back to TV this month at SummerSlam to make an appearance and start building to his big comeback match.</p><p> </p><p>

However, he just asked me for his release and I declined and now he says he will sit out the rest of his contract. Is there anything I can do to fix this?</p>

You can always hire him again 6 months later, but of course somebody else might have already came in for him.</p>

Thanks I'll take a look. I separated Raw and Smackdown into two different companies but I don't imagine that alone would be the cause?

How long do "recent matchups" last. I.E. I get the warning this would be the 4th or 5th time the match has happened recently. What is recently? I've been running a company for 8 months now, when do the old matches fade from "the fans memories"

You will get a repetitive booking penalty for having the same match more than 3 times in a 6 month span. You can turn this off in user preferences.

<p>Im playing the 1995 mod and trying to book NJPW but have no idea how a tour works... Can anyone explain what I need to do exactly?</p><p> </p><p>

Also the fans find the matches too intense or dangerous.. im so confused on how to tweak it to make it perfect.</p><p> </p><p>

Anyone know what causes "automatic" AI turns at the start of a game. I noticed through some test sims that Kevin Nash and Scott Hall are turned babyface at the start of pretty much every WCW game. Definite game killer. Anyone know what settings are causing this so I can correct it? Thanks!

[Dochappy]

what are the recommended production levels for a regional company? I'm running MAW have made it to regional and just wondering if there's a certain level that works better?

<p>dusty finish?</p><p> </p><p>

How do you simulate a dusty finish, the old EWR had that as a finish, but here I guess its just a cheap win?</p>

[kipplecWo]

Is there a way to force your development territories to actually use the tag teams I set up? They keep splitting up legit tag teams and just shoving two random wrestlers into a tag team instead.

[sincerenoble]

To get new graduates from your DOJO do you have to turn on the new worker frequency? If so, what level to atleast get a graduate a year and what year do you set it to?

<p>hey, need some help on something I try to figure out since I started a new save.</p><p> </p><p>

playing with a japanese promotion (no1 in japan, no2 world wide). I've managed to rise from cult to national in the first month, but since that date I lost attendance at the events. my pop is rising constantly, workers all do fine. economy & wrestling industry are rising. running a monthly event, a tv show and a 2 date per week tour. don't know whats wrong.</p>

[Gungner]

How are your show ratings? Low ratings will result in smaller attendance at the next show, while good ratings will boost attendance.

[EddieSpaghetti]

my show ratings are good, they always increase my popularity as it is written in the final show ratings screen. I will have my final touring month now and after that a rest period maybe it will be getting better after that.

[Donners]

Is there any point to having more than one referee? As far as I can tell, they don't get tired or suffer any penalty for appearing in every match on multiple shows per week.

When a worker is inujured they can sometime still be used in angles right? How do I use those wrestlers that are available for angles in an angle?
