Hey guys can anyone direct me to the combined letter/number grades shown in this picture. Been looking for a day or two for them with no luck.

[Jazz49ers]

New page bump.

 

You run the risk of burning out your audience. Run too many shows in one region and your audience could drop.

The Player's Handbook seems to contradict this. It says:

 

"You cannot over-expose yourself in terms of shows; i.e. running a show every single day would not actively affect attendances (although obviously it would have huge financial implications.) The only exception to this is pay-per-view buy rates - running multiple pay-per-views in a short space of time will cause the buy rates to drop."

I guess it was changed in 2016 because I remember that being the case in the previous games.

Well in theory you could run seven shows per week with no adverse effects, but if you run them in the same region wouldn't the burnout factor in? So you don't get penalized for running a lot of shows, but you do if they are all in the same region

Strange question, but is there a way to make it so more Samoan/Tongans/Hawaiians are randomly generated?

 

Maybe if I open a dojo in Hawaii?

I honestly have no idea what would happen if you ran seven shows per week, but I've been running 10 shows per month(2 TV per week & 2 PPV per month) exclusively in the South West region, for 6 straight months with steadily increasing attendance. For a year before that I was running 4 TV and 1 PPV per month, also exclusively in the South West region.

2.) I have a basic angle where one of my ring announcers reads off the card for the show. I have the ring announcer on screen and the top 4 guys on the card off screen. Announcer is rated on microphone skill (which I have as pretty high) and the wrestlers on overness. Still, every time I run it I get a message saying "ring announcer looked dreadful" or "ring announcer did not come out of this looking good". Why is this happening? The angle gets anywhere from a B to A rating.

 

Juhaninski is it right, it's probably due to the announcer lacking in popularity.

 

You know how workers are given individual ratings in the match results window to give you an idea of how each guy contributed? If one guy's rating is significantly higher or lower than everybody else's it'll say things like "So-and-so carried the match" or "Such-and-such struggled to keep up". This is the equivalent for angles -- "Manager A looked dreadful", "Wrestler C looked like a star out there", ect.

 

Is there a limit as to how many promotions can join an alliance?

 

Each alliance has its limit set at creation, but the hard cap appears to be 10 since that the highest it goes in the editor.

 

My bad, thanks for clarifying. Which bears the question, what's the difference in picking "shooters" over "technicians" for the dojo's orientation? Assuming both options result in workers with solid technical skills, does it only affect whether the graduates' style will be "technician" or "MMA crossover" respectively?

 

I suspect that shooter dojos tend to produce higher Submission and Toughness whereas technical schools are focused more on Chain and Mat Wrestling. Just my guess.

I'm not certain, but I don't think there's any way to control what you get through randomly generated workers.

 

I do have an idea on how to get more workers of specific backgrounds: if you've got regeneration turned on, you could keep an eye out news about guys who are retiring soon and edit their nationality and race (and maybe set them to debut without a picture). The yet-to-debut regen that's produced when they finally retire would then keep those settings. You could then re-edit the original worker back once the new guy has been generated.

 

It'd take a year for them to finally debut somewhere (which unfortunately means they could immediately end up signed to someone's developmental since I don't know a way to control what dojo they graduate from), but it's the best way I can think of to generate specific traits. Granted, you could also just go into the editor and change the name and race of any yet-to-debut worker manually, but this way feels a little more... pure, I guess.

 

...thinking about it, I might do this myself to add to the game's Indian population (a whopping 4 currently), but I'll have to import some appropriate names first since their aren't any in the default database.

My own question: would sending a Semi-active wrestler down to developmental with a focus on Remove Ring Rust actually be effective?

 

I'm eyeballing somebody for a couple of Once in a Lifetime matches, but they haven't worked in ages. If I sent them to my developmental, they'd be unlikely to work any actual shows because of their status, but I get the feeling that wouldn't matter. Has anybody got experience with this?

[mitsukaikira]

Sending someone down for Ring Rust is a great idea and has worked for me. I'd recommend it. I don't think you'd get any issues with them not working shows.

[atomzero]

Can you increase the reputation of a dojo after you build it, or is it set at however you built it?
