For how long can I be in debt without going bankrupt? I'm thinking about buying out another company and hoping the increased popularity will make up for the money I lost fast enough for me not to go bankrupt.

Is there a big increase in expenses when you to from Regional to Cult or does the big increase come after Cult?

[Defmall]

<p>I have same issue/question as CharlieRock</p><p>

I play as WWF in 1994 and each week TEW will auto-suggest where to run the show. I didnt notice it suggested a venue in Puerto Rico and the show's ratings TANKED. I want to be sure we never run in PR again! Is there a way to get that region off the list of Territories suggested?</p>

I recommend double checking which venue the AI automatically booked for you. There's nothing worse than getting half of the gate just because the AI booked a venue for you.</p>

<p>Still never got any help.</p><p> </p><p>

Currently with WWE. I can't get above a B- on matches for some reason. No matter what match I put on. It can be Primo vs Tyler Breeze or AJ Styles vs Seth Rollins</p>

You also can see the individual performances on-screen, which would give you a guide to what levels you're achieving. You should also look at your product; if you're a heavily popularity based company and don't have any stars, you will naturally not be producing many high ratings.</p>

I just made that mistake, and held Survivor Series 1994 in Puerto Rico

The show got an overall grade of 90, so I guess I can't really complain, but I'm sure it would have gotten a stronger grade, had it been held somewhere else. But yeah, you can't "block" venues or areas from being selected by the game.

[Leo C]

Depends on the company. The longer they have been in existance, the longer they will survive.

 

I see. So in this case, my company has been around for 6 years or so. Do you have any idea how long I could be in debt for?

[Nossair]

<p>So Jay Lethal has been the figurehead of my company for 2 and a half years now, he's having a good impact on the business, but ever since I only gave him 50% of a pay rise request, his morale is in the toilet ('very angry'). And giving him bonuses doesn't seem to change anything.</p><p> </p><p>

Will he be happier if I just keep booking him to win ? Should I change my figurehead before he asks for a release request ?</p>

[Ashishere]

So, can someone explain to me what's going on with my Storyline heat? I do a show to start storylines and they're all rather high due to segment ratings (80's, 90's). But, by the time I get to the next week the heat has gone down to the 40's and lower without me ever doing anything.

[Gungner]

If a storyline starts with 0 heat, and you do a segment that scores an 80, the storyline will not instantly get a heat rating of 80. It's about half pr. segment rating.

However, when I advance a few days without any shows/Storyline advancement, it lowers ridiculously.</p>

Open-ended Angles?

 

Can you write an angle to have an unknown number of participants?

 

Like, at the end of a lot of puroresu shows I have watched there is an "ending ceremony" where almost all of the workers come out ot the ring. They pass the mic around and thank the audience and then the 'star' of the show (usually the winner of the main event, or a major title holder) gives a longer thank you and tells the audience where the next show will be.

 

To simulate this I would need to craft an angle for each show as there is never a set number. A show with more tag teams has more workers than a show with mostly singles matches. Or, some shows just run longer if it is weekly or annual.

 

Can I just write one angle and leave the number of workers open-ended somehow?

[CharlieRock]

Deleted, dumb question.

[CharlieRock]

Is there a way to fix poor chemistry between two workers? I created a husband/wife duo and when they debut it turns out they have poor chemistry together.

No.

What kind of chemistry? For tag teams and announcing combos, their experience will eventually offset the negative chemistry. For opponents and managers, there's nothing you can do as far as I know.

[CharlieRock]

No.

Managers. It is quite disappointing to have had happen. Results in penalties everytime they show up together.

Title prestige

 

Quick question: Will my Title prestige drop if I have a 100 prestige belt and I put on a 90 rated match?

 

Or are there other factors involved? Frequency of defenses etc.?

Or are there other factors involved? Frequency of defenses etc.?

 

A title match must be better than the titles prestige for it not to drop... However, it is not always a noticable drop. Say your title has 100.0 in prestige, and you put on a 90 rated match. The prestige might drop to 99.7, but will still show up as 100, as the game doesn't do in decimals (that's only in the editor). But as a rule of thumb, the match grade need to equal or better the belts prestige to not drop.

 

And yes, if a belt is not defended, it will lose prestige (someone correct me if I'm wrong), but I believe it's one defense pr. month to avoid losing prestige.
