Things to go for in squash matches:

- Match goes on for 10-15 minutes top

 

Personally I would say this is too long, I tried a dominating squash match but made it ten minutes and got the note that this was too long for a dominate booking

 

I would suggest a true squash is under 5min and possibly under 3min in game terms.

 

I was trying to replicate the idea of the monster toying with them before destroying them for the win, however I don't think the game interprets it that way.

 

So now its a quick 1-3min match and then a 10m min promo/angle or visa-versa

Squashes involve:

 

Short match(5 or less in my experience)

Decisive victory

One competitor as enhancement talent, other as lower midcard or above.

 

Literally all that's needed to get the "well executed" squash note.

Or you could, you know, just fire them.

I have a poor performing worker on a pay-per-show contract with about 2 years left on contract. I don't want to use him anymore. Is there a way I can "fire" him or remove him from my roster? Does having him on the roster and if I don't use him have any negative effect?

[Gungner]

If he's on a PPA contract, then it won't cost a thing to release him... So why not just do that?

Is it possible to get the AI to run weekly events?

So, I'm playing the Ruthless Aggression mod (imported to TEW 16) and just simming years as unemployed to see what happens and I've noticed a number of workers have changed their pictures with time. Does anyone know how that happens and how to program that to happen with other workers? I know you can do it through narratives, but all the workers that have changed picture so far don't appear to have done so that way.

[James Casey]

<p>You can set workers in the editor to use different photos at different points in time. Whether it coincides with birthdays or calendar years I don't remember, but it allows you to simulate the aging process.</p><p> </p><p>

You can also pre-set workers' alter-egos so that, when arriving in a company they choose from however many pre-set gimmicks/characters with the photos set accordingly - For example, Mick Foley might always appear in WCW as Cactus Jack, but if he moves to WWF he might have a 70% chance of debuting as Mankind, 20% as Cactus and 10% as Dude Love.</p>

<p>How do you gain the loyalty of young lions in Japan? Is there a checklist of prerequisites somewhere?</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Also, while I'm on the subject, how stiff are the penalties for pushing a young lion? Some on my roster (Masahiro Chono, Vader, etc.) are still young lions, so they lose all the time, despite Chono's 92 star quality.</p>

Three options:

 

1. Anger him until he quits. Considering you have so little amount of opportunities with him, once a month, this might be very tedious.

 

2. Put him on vacation, change his name to "z", and just forget about him until his contract runs out.

 

3. Fire him. Why are people so unwilling to fire people?

 

 

How do you fire him? What are the steps/menu items to select in the game to make this happen?

you can add a weekly event in the editor to the ai companies before you start your game. and i think in game you would need to take over the company yourself and add it manually.

find the worker on your roster and click on his contract and there is a release tab

I am being an idiot and cannot find the instructions on how to dump the database as non-password protected to view in Access. I swear, I saw them earlier today and now I can't find them.

[miz468]

If I create a venue to work as a TV studio where I film all my TV, what penalties am I looking at for other regions?

 

So if I run all of my TV in the South East, and then my Events in other regions, will I lose popularity for not running shows in other regions as much?

 

Anybody got any insight into this?

How does franchise players screen get worked out? There’s times when I have triple h who is star quality 100 and I’ve got him as my most popular guy on the roster and he doesn’t get on it?? He’s never been on it?
