<p>Ok, so I tried doing a 0/0/0 challenge.</p><p>

I kept prices as low as I could. I only have 6 workers and a ref. I only run one show a month. But I'm still losing a good deal of money each month.</p><p>

How long can I get away with this? I tried doing a 0/0/10,000$ challenge and I was making a profit right from the getgo to the point where I didn't need the 10,000$ so I'm not sure what's going wrong here. I'm not sure IF something is going wrong here.</p>

Alucidus - alot of it can do with industry and economy have to keep your eye on it.

Does rehab time differ based on any type of criteria? I just sent one of my best workers to rehab for Soft Drug use thinking it would be 30 days and I see he's out for over 7 months :/

[Alucidus]

<p>I do not believe that rehab time is based upon type of drug use.</p><p> </p><p> Alright, I turned the corner in my 0/0/0 game and am starting to make a profit. Too late unfortunately as I've just gotten a bankruptcy warning. How long do I have? I assume not long enough since I assume it will take me 6-9 months to get back into the black.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="shawn michaels 82" data-cite="shawn michaels 82" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41194" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Unless your product is focused on mainstream, it May very well be because of economy and wrestling industry.

[Kehi7]

is there a 1980's real life mod that anyone has made? Not sure if this is the correct place to ask.

Yeah there is. Check out the Mod Index in the mod forum.

[Alucidus]

<p>About that.</p><p>

There seem to be quite a few mods missing from the list.</p><p>

Does the list not include '13 mods that were updated to 2016?</p><p>

Because I thought at least Montreal 97 was updated but I don't see it on the list.</p>

This the product I want, but it gives me the young lion system as active, and I don't want it. What should I tweak here?</p>

[Bigpapa42]

Turn off Young Lions for that region?

I cannot work out why these only got a B rating.</p><p> </p><p>

(Tips on images appreciated if you can't see these.)</p>

[ampulator]

There could be many reasons. Unfortunately, you have "dirt sheet" turned off.

[Teh_Showtime]

<p>My first guess is it’s coming after a super hot angle without a buffer (like a Jack Bruce 100 promo and no 1 min angle before the match)</p><p> </p><p>

That only applies with crowd management though</p>

Pre match videos (with participants off screen) are commonly used for this in real life. In game I’ve ran dozens (probably hundreds by now) of shows merely changing to put a 1 minute angle before my main event and it has helped if I feel like a match was disappointing without it.</p>

Just think for about 10 seconds, predict how segments will affect the crowd, and experiment. Turn dirt sheet on. A good match aim is Storytelling to buffer matches-- I like to think of it was pumping on the brakes instead of slamming the brakes. Short hype videos, less than five minutes, I think, also work. </p><p> </p><p> Crowd management has tons of leeway. Instead of finding a template for your shows, it forces you to think a little bit.

Turn this on.

[shawn michaels]

Do Alliance titles count towards the criteria to the HOI? The main event ones, that is. Never really tested it much.

[dude-1981]

<p>OK guys, thank you. Dirt sheet is now on.</p><p> </p><p>

What is this inconsistency I've seen Bruce penalised for a couple of times? And penalised for booking decisions? What, not having Remo go over clean? The match of the half year is a no contest so that can't be a big deal.</p><p> </p><p>

<img alt="H9feyRf.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/H9feyRf.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

This failure to have more than a couple of A graded matches is driving me nuts. I sign people who were having them all over the show and then they join me and it is B+ for them max.</p><p> </p><p>

Does spinal impact moves being banned have a decent impact? Is it worth turning them on all the time? I allowed them in this fight.</p>

[Teh_Showtime]

<p>If you -really- want to know how close you are to the A rating I'd advise you to use numbers instead of grades, since a low B+ compared to a high B+ might be of note to you.</p><p> </p><p>

Inconsistency is just for the consistency stat, you can't really fix it, unless they just get better. Odds are for Bruce it wont happen since he's already 40+.</p><p> </p><p>

Booking decisions are small hits from road agent notes at the expense of other things. Keep strong causes this (but severely limits popularity loss), protect/dominate/bury/etc all do as well. Anything where the workers had to work towards a secondary goal beyond having a great match, which ends up slightly hurting the actual match. </p><p>

Spinal moves do have a small impact as well, but it's absolutely possible to still get high ratings with it. It just goes to things that the workers have to work around in addition to putting on the best pure match.</p><p> </p><p>

The 3rd possible this is you using the "Epic" match aim. It's been highly debated on the forum recently if it's even worth using since you can almost always get a better grade just using the normal match aim.</p>

[dude-1981]

<p>I was putting off turning on the numbers, but as this is obsessing me I'm going to have to do it aren't I.</p><p> </p><p>

I did have keep strong on for Bruce. </p><p> </p><p>

I'm going to try and set up a brilliant match with my two best guys and try and pop a rating.</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks all.</p>

[BrokenCycle]

<p>You don't have to turn the numbers on. </p><p> </p><p>

Just chill out. </p><p> </p><p>

The game is best when played as a personal story tool. Stop worrying about being good at the game. It's fine to ask how the game works, but try to just play the game for fun and experiment yourself.</p>

How long til someone is no longer a young lion?
