Should i have WWE Backlash on the first week of September or second week in my game? I ask this because of the fact that i started a Smackdown Live save in September and in the game its set to monday September 1st not Thursday.

Ok cool. Thanks Jaysin

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.

 

Only thing I can think of is training a replacement in undercard matches if your main ref is getting up there in years, though you could just hire an established referee when it becomes necessary.

[MachoManOrton]

All you can do now is release him or keep him against his will. He wont work for you again during this contract. You can always hire him again 6 months later, but of course somebody else might have already came in for him.

 

Also you should have given him payed time off if you planned to not use him for a period of time.

What does Cult mean as a product definition?

<p>Just a quick one:</p><p> </p><p>

If I have a young worker in an angle with an established star and set it up like this:</p><p> </p><p>

Established star: Entertainment</p><p>

Young worker: not rated</p><p> </p><p>

With the young worker still get any significant pop increase from it?</p><p> </p><p>

I've been doing this for about 2-3 months on weekly TV and the progress seems very slow. Much slower than another youngster who I've given a few in-ring wins to.</p><p> </p><p>

-----------</p><p> </p><p>

I've never been quite clear on how you can push non-wrestlers in the game. If someone is in highly rated angles week on week, will their pop go up?</p>

[Jerryvonkramer]

Will they still go up if they are "not rated" in the segment?

Is there any way from keeping the game's AI from inducting people into my own company's Hall of Fame. I know it's just a cosmetic thing. I just get annoyed seeing a news story about "So&So was inducted to the hall of fame" and having to delete them myself.

Were PPV Buy Rates nerfed in one of the updates? I was getting Buy Rates of between 7-9 for my PPVs but not can hardly get a buy rate of 2? Or is it something else affecting it? My popularity hasn't changed and the ratings of my shows are always between B to A*.

<p>Hey guys.</p><p>

Sorry if this has been questioned already, but ...</p><p>

<p>How does Attempt Takeover work? </p><p> </p><p>

Would I take them over as a child company? </p><p> </p><p>

Also, how does that work? What are the conditions that need to be met for them to accept?</p>

I'm the only National level promotion in the US... what do I need to do to "take over" another company?

[WynterWarm12]

<p>Pertaining to mods, when you update the data file, does that overwrite the progress a talent has had? Like, if Seth Rollins has improved in some areas, does that get replaced with the original stats?</p><p> </p><p>

I want to update to Fleisch's most recent data, but not if it overwrites stats, popularity etc.</p>

The promotion needs to be in debt for awhile. The time depends on how old the promotion is. There are multiple options when taking over a promotion.

 

Pertaining to mods, when you update the data file, does that overwrite the progress a talent has had? Like, if Seth Rollins has improved in some areas, does that get replaced with the original stats?

It will have zero affect on your save games. None of the updates(new workers, new promotions etc) will be in your previous save games.

[darth_cuscus]

The company needs to be in debt. However, depending on the owner's personality, they will not agree to a takeover unless they've been in debt for a while. Some will sell as soon as they're in debt while some will drag it on as long as they can. When and if they agree to a takeover, you have three options, pillage, disband and keep them as a child company. Disband does what it says. Pillage you choose what assets you want to keep (workers, titles, events or any tv shows) and the last is where they remain as a child company/developmental territory for you.

<p>I have a few small questions that I can't find answers after a quick search:</p><p> </p><p>

1) I currently running a 90 minutes show with a lots of short matches and statements (~7 mins for matchs, ~2 mins for statements and ~15 mins for main event), do I need to claim the crowd with such a short show? Or what exactly a "perfect show" should be for a 90 mins show?</p><p> </p><p>

2) The popularity of my backstage interviewer/managers are way lower then my wrestler and basically not moving at all, even they were on screen in my TV show every weeks and have a few statements (that ranks pretty good), how can they gain more popularity?</p><p> </p><p>

3) What exactly I should do for custom merchandise? Give the most over wrestler everything and ignore the lower card?</p><p> </p><p>

4) Will development territory (not child company) contact other broadcasters on their own? Do I need to create a TV show for them first?</p>

[Romans_Brass_Shovel]

How many years does it take for an event to raise importance? And how many levels of it are there? I always create a company and have never gotten it past normal in 4 years of gameplay.
