[Killa Cam 4 TEW 2005]

Im playing as WWE but I just noticied that TNA isnt booking PPVS as the CPU for 2 years now.

 

how do i edit it and make the CPU book their monthly PPVs again?

 

I went into the editor and see they have all their original ppvs in the game save

 

and they have a PPV late night slot with "In-Demand"

[Truly]

I swear it seems I'm the only promotion out of my alliance that makes use of the Alliance Titles. I have the frequency on each title set to Often yet I'm three months into playing and no other member of the alliance has bother to book the alliance champions except me. Is this normal??

Is there any way to hire a worker who is loyal to another company?

<p>What's the best way to build up a division?</p><p> </p><p>

I'm playing a WCW 2001 mod (while eagerly awaiting the update) and I'd like a Tag division and a Cruiserweight division, but both would stink up my shows because it's a popularity based fed and none of the workers are over.</p><p> </p><p>

Should I confine them to the B-Show until they're over enough? I'm thinking this method may take a long time though.</p>

[Guest skinsfan55]

How much of a penalty do you get for a face vs. face match or a heel vs. heel match?

[Teh_Showtime]

How much of a penalty do you get for a face vs. face match or a heel vs. heel match?

 

The penalty is quite negligible as I've gotten A* out of a heel vs heel match before though if it was face/heel it probably would have been a 100 instead of just a 97

 

For midcard matches they usually don't make a difference at all in terms of killing a segment

[tambourin81]

Is there any way to hire a worker who is loyal to another company?

Have you tried signing them to (non exclusive) PPA contracts?

[mezomi]

<p>Is there any way for a company to immediately to be available for buyout right as a game starts, or does the company have to be in debt for 6 months no matter what?</p><p> </p><p>

I want to do a game where USPW buys out CGC an I am forced to take every single wrestler.</p>

[darth_cuscus]

Is there any way to increase a workers ability to play a face or heel (besides mentors)? Or is their skill set in stone?

[liontamer]

is there a way either in game or via the editor to bring someone up from development for one night without vacating the title they are holding?

I've noticed many times mentors pass down tips on this to their protégé.

[vbase]

It can increase if you put them in that role. Have someone play face for a few months and you'll notice that skill increase.

[Blackman]

<p>When you have a working agreement with a touring company and you try to resign a worker that's currently touring with them to a non-exclusive deal, the game automatically cancels negotiations? What's up with that? Is there anything I can do to stop me from losing all my workers without cancelling the agreement? If that's the negative, that sure outweighs any potential benefits.</p><p> </p><p>

edit: Maybe it helps to mention the worker has moved to Japan? Can you not sign people from the area of your partner? This is not written in the manual.</p>

<p>I have a question regarding "There are no notes for this show."</p><p> </p><p>

I am running a 0/0/0 company with the Old School Wrasslin' product in the Mid-West. For the first show, we ran a D- but I received that note. I have zero popularity anywhere but it appears that show did not improve my popularity. Am I doing something wrong?</p><p> </p><p>

There were no other notes. The segments themselves were fine and there were no negative notes.</p>

I also started with a Local company as well and have been getting the same note all the way into September. I'm currently getting D+ to C for my one hour weekly show ratings. However, in the U.S. the Economy started somewhere in the C range and has been falling (currently at D) and the Wrestling Industry has been some form of F (currently F+ and rising) the entire time, which I took to be the reason for no popularity gains. Basically the game just started with a bad set of conditions and I'm just weathering through it and developing my workers.</p>
