Does anyone know what purpose Move Sets serve? Is it purely ascetic or does it play a role in the game? Thanks in advance.

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.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> The Economy was a C- and the Wrestling Industry was a D.</p><p> </p><p> I ran four shows in one month, all in the same venue.

<p>Developmental Trainers</p><p> </p><p>

Can I send multiple people down to my child company to train others? For instance, let's say I have several wrestlers in their late 30s, each of whom is still popular and can still go at a level that would benefit a smaller company, but they aren't going to be difference makers for me. Could I just send them all down to train others in my developmental territory, or are they just going to step on each others toes down there?</p>

Realistically, if someone is going to start a 0/0/0 fed it probably would make sense to edit the initial industry and economy settings to make sure they fit with such a game, rather than being random or in a down period. Typically most people would not try to open a new business of any type during time periods where said industry is doing poorly and/or the overall economy is not doing well as it would generally lead to business failure.

Unfortunately I don't think either can be edited once a game starts, but you can edit your funds to keep you alive if that becomes a problem before the world circumstances improve.

 

You could edit it once the game started by using a narrative...however in my experience narrative, even with strength effects of 1, have a significant impact on industry and economy.

Is there any way to get a development territory belt to change hands other than calling the guy up and having it vacated? I want to call up Finn Balor but he won't drop the NXT title.

<p>I was planning a new SWF game, as a part of the plan the North American Title is to become an Upper Mid-Card/Lower End Main Event Title.</p><p> </p><p>

However I also need a new SWF midcard title belt, that isn't the TV Title, the United States Title, the Intercontinental Title or any other Title with special conditions/gimmicks (Hardcore, Cruiserweight etc.) so do you guys have any good ideas?</p>

[Gungner]

If a member of the roster is set as "Gatekeeper", meaning that he won't mind losing to people at his level or above, but his in-ring push is set to Occasional wrestler, what exactly is "his level or above" rated on? The workers popularity?

Maybe an SWF Heritage championship would do?

Impact has the Grand Championship, maybe have the Supreme Title.

Beginning Week

 

Just wondering if there was a way to begin in week 4 so I can start my booking with a ppv first or would I need to completely change the date of the ppv to week 1?

[Gungner]

His push. Occasional Main event will only be okay with losing to main event guys regardless of full time or part time.

 

But he is only set as an occasional wrestler, he has no "card" push.

What's the difference between a Child and a Developmental company in terms of what actions you're allowed to take with one?

[Makkaveli101]

If I was to create a working agreement (playing as WCW in 91) with companies in regions I want to gain popularity in (namely the UK, Europe, and Canada), would I benefit from swapping talent with them to make my stars on their roster more popular in those regions...thus making my company more popular (especially in TV ratings) in the overall bigger picture? Or would this not work?

[harrypotterhead]

now with the "touring highlights" feature in the broadcast deals section. would it be more wise to make NXT a touring company since they weekly show is basically matches from random events

[TheJG]

<p>Is there any reason why my sponsorship income has dropped so much? I can't work out why. I've gained 10 points of pop since May so I'm unsure why it's dropped.</p><p> </p><p>

<span>http://i.imgur.com/TCcf79P.jpg</span></p><p> </p><p>

The estimated is really high too:</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks.</p>

[d12345]

<p>TheJG, here are some reasons of why that would happen:</p><p> </p><p>

- You recently changed some (or even just one) of your product settings to a less sponsorship friendly setting.</p><p> </p><p>

- If you're the booker your owner has been changing the product without your knowledge. You can look in your product settings to see if this is the case.</p><p> </p><p>

- The wrestling industry in your regions where you have significant popularity has dropped significantly.</p><p> </p><p>

- You've been the victim of a rival promotion's dirty tricks. Possibly the sponsorship snipe. This would have generated a news story when it was first done.</p><p> </p><p>

Those are all the reasons that I can think of. There may be others though.</p>
