If a worker starts out in the game world as Out of Business, but set to regenerate, how long from the game begins is it possible for him to regenerate?

 

I have El Patron set to regen as a legacy, but I haven't gone too far in the game world.

I keep getting "audience upset there werent more dangerous spots" despite the match risk/injury risk being put up to average and the product settings having no problems. Any ideas?

This should tell you the minimum Match Intensity and Match Danger required for your product so you can adjust the sliders.</p>

Not something I've had cause to look at in my current game, so it may be that this has been removed, but is there a way to change the size of your events? I know PPVs have to be set up on the individual show screens on the day, but in the Schedule section you used to be able to set events to Small/Medium/Large or whatever and that seems to be gone now.

How often do people win wrestler of the year? I never seem to get anywhere near! Absoolutely dominated by Japanese wrestlers (98 period). My top guy was Austin in 30th !

I never get anywhere close either in my SWF game.

I'm sure I've asked some variation on this question, but I keep being baffled, so here goes again.

 

I have a worker who I was getting reports that the gimmick was getting stale. Her gimmick is rated as Great, and has been for a while. I figured it was the babyface role that was getting old, so I went ahead and turned her heel, but I'm still getting the same message about a stale gimmick. Does it mean that the gimmick has peaked and is now declining (but apparently still "Great"), or is there something else going on here? Is it a signal to tweak the gimmick?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that message means that the gimmick has peaked. Since it's still at "great", I'd just tweak it if possible. If not, you'll have to give them a new gimmick.

<p>So I have a question. When running Custom Merch you get some statistics into how well each person's merch is selling and what not. </p><p> </p><p>

Now managing the merch is a little too tedious for me especially in regards to when I do my roster spring cleaning so to speak. </p><p> </p><p>

However I do love seeing how each character is selling merch. Is there a way I can auto set my merch but still have the detailed breakdown.</p>

Is there any way to make a title not assigned to a company partway through a game?

[vbase]

<p>One of my workers always has 90-95 individual performance in every match, rarely he does 100 or more but most of the times he is at 90-95. I know he is a great worker and capable of 100s.</p><p> </p><p>

The problem I saw was that he was penalized for chemistry/motivation. However, he has an extremely happy morale, he doesn't have any negatives in his morale, he is in the main event and holding a title. Neither does he have bad chemistry with any of the workers. </p><p> </p><p>

Does anyone know what it can be?</p>

I am trying to set up a promotion that runs events more like UFC did years ago, two large events per month that are set up on a subscription channel (Showtime). My Showtime deal is only for events, I have no TV show. I was just thinking though it would be really cool to create "hype" shows like HBO or Showtime do for boxing or UFC does for MMA, "Countdown to..." type shows. Is it feasible for me to create a 30 minute event and change my product settings so that my events are supposed to be 100% angles? Would this hamper my product setting? My product is focused on entertainment, cult, and hardcore.
