<p>Look at the Players Handbook in your office, and click on Dispositions & Turns... It tells you everything about how long (ie. how many segments) is too long or too short. </p><p>

Anything below 4 segments (angles and matches) are shock turns. Above 4 are slow turns. More than 25 segments will annoy the fans, so if you prepare the turn at week 1, December, then you have to keep Reigns under 25 segments until 'Mania, which I suspect will be really tough to do.</p>

<p>hi, so I was experimenting with the locker room ' if you don't like it your free to leave' speech and half my roster walked out lol. I didn't save and exited the game but when I load up the game again it seems to have saved cos they are all gone.</p><p> </p><p>

so is there any way to turn my game back a week? I sure of this being done before.</p><p> </p><p>

cheers</p>

[Gungner]

You can do a game recovery, on the "load game" screen, which will bring your save back a week.

Can a title's prestige have an effect on the overall match rating, both positive and negative? I'm asking because I had a title match (title prestige: 78, main event title) where my two workers were really popular, had in-ring work in the 90's and the match scored an 89, but the title hasn't moved in prestige. I know it goes up or down depending on match ratings, but can it impact an overall rating?

I have a save where I own all of the women's wrestling companies in the game world and they're all in my alliance and I've had no issues.

There was a feature in TEW13 where if a worker lost too much, you'd have to build them back up since the fans will see them as, essentially, a loser.

Or at least, it probably won't change it to the degree that you'd see it tick up. You might have gotten a decimal increase but not enough to bring it to .5 or higher (so it would round it up in the title screen). If you're that concerned about it, check the title's prestige in the editor before you book the show and then check it again afterward. </p><p> </p><p> But yes, a title's prestige can have either a positive or negative effect on a match's rating (per the dirt sheet), depending on the prestige and the match rating(s) where the title is contested. So can storyline heat.</p>

So how bad are the Face vs Face and Heel vs Heel penalties if you have a face heel divide. I have definitive faces and heels but I have them similar dispositions face each other often.

I've never done a heel vs heel match, but I have run face vs face feuds, and my last face vs face match (Hogan vs Piper) scored a 99 rating. So if the penalties are that huge, it must have been one h*ll of a match. Out of experience, all my face vs face matches have scored very acceptable grades. I'd imagine the penalties for heel vs heel are bigger?

How do you use Tournament Belts and Tournaments?

I saw this on patch 1.36, what does it mean exactly? Specifically, i mean.

How long it's going to take for that to become obvious or for them to start complaining depends on their spot on the roster, who they lose to and their personality.

I avoid overusing my workers like that, so I break it up into 3 shows: 2 shows before, the quarterfinals take place, then next show is semi-finals and the final match is the Main Event of the final show. Don't think there are penalites or a righ/wrong way to use tournaments, must be more of a hint to the AI to book a certain way.</p>

How do you overcome a language barrier in the game for interviews and such?

[AfRoMaN36]

<p>You can put them in segments rated on overness instead of entertainment and mic skills or give them a mouth piece that will speak for them. </p><p> </p><p>

They should learn the language overtime anyway.</p>

[RKOwnage]

<p>I guess this isn't strictly about the game itself, but for those of you who use Excel spreadsheets or other means to keep track of your game, how do you keep track of what happens each week in your feuds?</p><p> </p><p>

Do you have separate sheets or notes or whatever for each feud? I'm having trouble keeping focus because I have a large roster in my current game with two brands and I sort of get mixed up with what I've had happen already.</p><p> </p><p>

I could make this a thread too, but didn't want to clutter the board.</p>

Is a worker more likely to choose you between multiple competitive offers if he has friends/relatives/waifus already in your company?

[Koholos]

<p>Does creating a Child Company give you any benefits besides having a feeder league, and a warm heart from helping the wrestling industry?</p><p> </p><p>

Because I'm making about $1 million a month in profits, and I'm thinking about reinvesting it in a bunch of Dojos and Feeder Leagues throughout the world. But if there's benefits to having them in certain regions (or if they pay me some of their revenue based on size), or something, then it might be worth being more particular about where and how.</p>

[Andylion]

<p>I'm sure it's been asked multiple times, but is there a way to change what day a show is taped on? Semi-related, is there a way to force a company to cancel the contract of another show? I wanted to have one show replace another, but the new show's contract started too early, so I don't mind 'cheating' to fix it if I have to</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: I've found how to change the night my new show is taped on. What do/can I do about my old one?</p>

[havok]

<p>why will a company not sell to me when I try to buy the company and they are in massive debt. the reason they give me is they are not interested in selling to a smaller company. although days later they sell to PGHW.</p><p> </p><p>

is there something that blocks a small company from taking over a larger company?</p>

Of course you can use younger workers for that, but considering the financial limitations of smaller companies, you can't afford a lot of those so you'll want your top stars wrestle each other at the top of the card and veterans doing their thing a little lower.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="LloydCross" data-cite="LloydCross" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41194" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Is a worker more likely to choose you between multiple competitive offers if he has friends/relatives/waifus already in your company?</div></blockquote><p> It certainly factors into their decision, though to what extent I do not know</p>
