Gungner Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If I have a worker who has 28 days left on his contract, and he gets another offer from another company that I can't match, but I go into the in-game editor and change his contract to expire in, say, 400 days and also give him loyalty to my company, can he still leavy for the other company that has offered him a deal?

mrallan Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 <p>Is there any reason for a companies PPV viewership to drop despite the company getting more popular, still being on the same broadcaster, and other companies on the same broadcaster seeing their numbers rise? </p><p> </p><p> In my multiplayer game, one company has went from:</p><p> </p><p> .97 -> .82 -> .99 -> 1.10 -> 1.28 -> 1.29 -> 0.87 -> 0.39</p><p> </p><p> The other 3 companies over that same stretch:</p><p> </p><p> 1.06 -> 1.11 -> 1.38 -> 1.18 -> 0.99 -> 1.05 -> 1.26</p><p> </p><p> 1.09 -> 1.12 -> 1.15 -> 1.16 -> 1.31 -> 1.51</p><p> </p><p> 1.22 -> 1.19 -> 1.62 -> 1.39 -> 1.46 -> 1.48</p><p> </p><p> All 4 companies are within 1-2 points of each other in US pop (90+), w/ the dropping company being more popular than 2 of the other 3, their main PPV broadcaster is the same company, they have a successful figurehead, they're still in the same timeslot they were when their number's were climbing, they have super high prestige and overall nothing has really changed at 1st glance. </p><p> </p><p> When I isolated things to the main broadcaster and booked a few more events for each company, there was a 1.0+ difference in PPV #s. Attendance still stays the same but the viewership just keeps declining as the months go on.</p><p> </p><p> Is there something I'm missing or is this some type of bug?</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny_H22 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 If I book an angle and then go back into the angle to edit it, scripted is always turned off despite me having it scripted. Any idea why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Due to the way the match rating calculations are made it's not very often one gets a true A* of 100. It's hard to say what the problem is in this case - or if there even is one - without knowing the exact product, pop & skills of the workers involved and road agent notes. Most likely you've just been 'unlucky' thus far and should keep on keeping on with what you're doing.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gungner Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Just to ask a question, I'm pretty sure I know the answer to: If I have two people in a storyline, and they face off on the pre-show, it doesn't advance the storyline right?

The Nickman Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 "Sid is annoyed at feeling isolated backstage" What is this and how can I stop it? He’ll have no friends on the roster and at least a few people who don’t like him. Just meddle until he makes a friend and this should go away.

Danny_H22 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Any negatives to having our midcard titles as floating instead of set? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I've just run a PPV and had someone penalised for holding back. I can't remember seeing that before, but I don't always use the dirt sheet so I'm not sure if that's typical or not. My understanding is that workers don't hold back on PPV shows, but could it have been because of booking notes (it was a 'calm the crowd' match) or was it because it's quite a low-level PPV rather than a Historic etc. event?

stiffkick80 Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Is there any notes that help people learn faster or keep them from learning as fast? Like, if you're trying to have a match between a Veteran and a Young Prospect, will certain notes like 'Keep it Simple', 'Script', 'Protect' hinder how much the youngster will learn? How about for promos, will letting them cut an Unscripted promo, even if they fail at it, help them get bigger gains in their Mic Skills than doing a safer, Scripted promo?
