I'm pretty sure it's best answered before but I'm having trouble searching for it.

 

What's the best way to get managers over?

 

I dunno if it's the best way, but if I have a manager who can talk or who has high sex appeal, I use them in angles.

I've tired using them rated on entertainment, microphone, sex appeal, overness and it's always with at least one person who is more over then them and it isn't working. Neither is just having them on the show.</p>

<p>I have always hired workers based on basics and psychology etc and never ever considered the other stats above those, the ones like Mat Wrestling, Chain Wrestling, Brawling skills because I always thought they were some kind of averages based on Basics etc.</p><p> </p><p>

So I have 2 questions regarding that:</p><p>

1- Do these stats (Brawling, Mat Wrestling etc above Basics) really matter when choosing wrestlers?</p><p> </p><p>

2- If yes, if a wrestler has high stats in the above but low basics, psychology etc, will he be considered a good wrestler (ignore product requirements)?</p>

<p>another question: if i will run 3 matches between same competitors, fourth can get a penalty. If i ran three matches on post/pre-show, is fourth match on a main show will get a penalty?</p><p>

(sorry for bad english)</p>

For example I use a lot of "High Spots" matches. If I accidentally use a worker with low flashiness and arial their perfomance will suffer and they usually say something after the match along the lines of "I am not suited to high spot matches".</p>

The level that the corresponding product is in your promotion the more important that top row skill is. Example:</p><p> </p><p> Hardcore Matches in a Hardcore Key Feature promotion will require a higher Hardcore Top Row skill.</p><p> Pure = Mat & Chain Wrestling</p><p> Modern = Flashiness and Athleticism</p><p> Hyper Realism = Submissions (and maybe Chain and Mat Wrestling)</p><p> Realism = Brawling and/or Puro (that might be wrong though not 100% sure)</p><p> Daredevil = Aerial (and maybe flashiness) and Athleticism</p><p> Lucha Libre = Aerial and Flashiness</p><p> Risque, Cult, Mainstream, and Comedy do not require any top row skills, but factor Charisma and Star Quality into match performance grades.</p><p> </p><p> All product settings require Basics and Psychology</p><p> </p><p> That's how you decide how good a worker is for your promotion. You can roughly get an idea based on which products you have.</p><p> </p><p> Also contradictory products in the same promotion will give you more skills to look at to judge whether a worker is "good" or not.</p><p> </p><p> As far as Match Aims:</p><p> </p><p> Wild Brawl = Brawling stat</p><p> Technical Masterclass = Chain & Mat Wrestling Stat</p><p> Steal The Show = Flashiness</p><p> The other ones like Epic, Once In A Lifetime tell you what is required in the text.</p><p> </p><p> Then the Match Style itself plays a part:</p><p> i.e. brawl based, high spot based, etc. Those are pretty self explanatory for which top row stats play apart.</p><p> </p><p> Hope that helps.</p>

What makes a wrestler's reputation go up or down? I've had one wrestler with a reputation at 100 for a long time, and suddenly the last few months, it has started to drop and I can't quite figure out why.

Any one tried to replicate an excursion of sorts. Like taking a lower midcarder who is a "next big thing" and sending him to Japan for 10 appearances? Did it help develop him?

[wearsupereggs12]

is attendance level depends on popularity or importance?

How "easy" is it to convert DB's and Picture Pac's from TEW'13 to TEW'16?

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm thinking that DB's are fairly straight forward, but the converting pic pac's would require some merging of Carriers and Networks into Broadcasters? Other than that, are there specific stuff that needs to be taken into consideration?

Does the hatred relationship ever fades away? I really don't remember seeing it happening in all my years of this.

 

Anyone sure about this?

I believe that only simmering tension fades over time, but am not 100%

Wrestlers who have PPV contracts with more than one company.

 

How do they determine what company's shows/events to attend on a day when both (or more) companies have shows/events? Is it based on which company has more prestige or which company is more popular or has it to do something with contracts?

It goes by importance in the company rankings page.

I have changed a lot of the product for WWE and the intensity recommendation was 60%.

 

Every match now suffers because the intensity is too much for the fans. How much time will it take for the fans to get used to it or in simpler words, how much time for it to go away.

I don't know how long or how bad are the penalties, since I usually do gradual changes, but I'm guessing several months. Maybe no less then 6. Again, not sure, but this is why it's not recommended to change so much in one go, because the fans, who are used to one product, will not be happy, as they are a fan base of the former stuff you had.</p>

What type of Short term contracts don't lead to the 6 months cool down after leaving?Is it by time or number of appearances?

Does the importance rating for events do anything? I understand that gets higher if you put on good shows but does it increase the shows rating or actually do anything?

[vbase]

Does removing game areas only remove the associated companies only or do workers also get removed? Or if anyone has knowledge, when you remove certain game areas at the start of the game, what exactly gets removed?

That would be crazy boring. It just means it's not expected that it be heel vs face in every match/storyline. Lots of guys in places like ROH or NJPW are heels, but they would probably be companies that don't use the divide in TEW since the heels feud with each other all the time.</p><p> </p><p> As for game mechanics, you get to actually make use of the heel and babyface performance ratings for your wrestlers. If you play to strengths in these areas, it becomes much easier to get good gimmick ratings, which adds small bonuses to match ratings and makes it way more likely to pull off a good gimmick change to reset someone's negative momentum. Downside is the face/face and heel/heel match penalties, although those aren't particularly large penalties anyway.</p>
