1PWfan Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Here's a question that's been bugging me for years; what's mat work as opposed to submissions? I get that they're different and distinct things, it's just picking out what moves count as mat work rather than submissions that I've never been able to figure out.

wwfmark Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 http://i.imgur.com/ICggB3M.jpg I'm admittedly not smart about settings in the game. I didn't realize I set my company to popularity over performance until it was too late. Now I want to make the switch and was hoping someone can tell me what settings I need to change to do that. I do realize that I might have to do a gradual change to not upset my fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Modern, Realism, Pure, and Hyper realism are products that drive up your performance level (if you increase to at least medium) With your product as is, you could change Modern to medium which would leave you at equally rated popularity/performance.

The Dynamite Sid Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 <p>Does the AI not gain POP for it's wrestlers as quickly? This is something I've wondered about for a few years</p><p> </p><p> For example on one of my current saves I'm 6 months in and Aaron Andrews has been consistently winning A rated matches at the top of the card for TCW yet he has still not risen above B- popularity anywhere in the USA.

caatah Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 <p>Starting out small company</p><p> </p><p> Hi all, I've played previous versions of TEW and EWR, but never tried just taking the bottom ranking company in the game and seeing how far I could take them. The mod i'm using is Clash of the Titans, and started with IWF who are just about regional, but I've dropped down to local after 2 months as couldn't afford the production costs to keep up with my many regional rivals.</p><p> </p><p> Basically asking, what tactic would you recommend. The company starts out with only £1000 in the bank, although the owner Kowalski has agreed to work for free which is handy as he's a good Road Agent. I can make a small profit each month by running one show a month, but the popularity isn't really going anywhere... declining if anything. </p><p> </p><p> I need to find the balance between running enough shows to maintain or keep the popularity, and not going bankrupt! How do you guys manage small promotions?</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 <p>Nice improvements on the patch. Can someone explain this change if it's not merely cosmetic?

For instance, Vince Russo might have been an A during the attitude era, but was significantly worse on TNA. Also, a younger booker will learn over time... possibly learning from their mistakes so it shouldn't really be be tied to performance. You might learn a ton from a bad show after all.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The industry in the US is low but it's rising and other guys have seen a significant rise in the same span (Valiant, notably has seen his stock flying up) </p><p> </p><p> As for the cap, 73-75 seems low and even then, shouldn't he be able to temporarily get above that before it starts to drop again?</p><p> </p><p> I just used Andrews as a single example though. Most TEW saves I've played over the years it seems like worker popularity for the AI maintains a status quo except for one or two outliers. Again this may just be confirmation bias and I admit I haven't played a lengthy save on '16 yet but it definitely feels like a thing I see over and over again</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> EDIT: Having researched further it looks like every other star on the US scene has made significant gains in the same time span (Champagne Lover's pop has doubled!) so I guess yeah. His popularity has just hit its ceiling and confirmation bias on my part. Huh. Oh well, carry on</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I don't know if this is realistic, but wouldn't it be fair to give the player use of workers that a more reputed company doesn't use during their show? It's kinda frustrating to see them unused there while you were planning to use them. For the workers in question, who won't be earning money at all, it's probably even more frustrating.
