mad5226 Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 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 :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But DO NOT turn the setting off. If you turn it off, you won't get the very high bonus to match rating for the match being hot, either. </p><p> </p><p> Crowd management is stupidly easy in this game (it was frustratingly hard in TEW 13). 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.

dude-1981 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 <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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 <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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarK_RaideR Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 How long til someone is no longer a young lion? If I remember correctly, up to age 25 they are YLs no matter what. Past that age they can drop the YL status if their Respect is greater than D- and there's a certain age (30 or a couple of years more) past which they lose YL status regardless of Respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
