I'm in 05 now and he's 36... This game tends to put decline on guys from 37 onwards...

Okumara is in that role now and will stay there, with Ultimo when the time comes but will never need 3 authority types...

Alucidus Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Alright. I'm playing WCW and I'm owned by Time Warner. None of the broadcasters under the Time Warner umbrella want to negotiate with me. What are my options here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enemyviolent Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 For all the info available, I don't see a lot of "how to win" type tutorials.

Blake Trask Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Is there a particularly good way to ensure that a future debuting promotion hires someone specific as their head booker? I was going to set a strong friendship between owner/prospective booker to start, but I'm trying to simulate the beginning of a women's wrestling movement in a region and I want to get the promotion to install a particularly respected veteran as the first booker of the company.

Is it for a mod or a save? If it's for a save, you could simply just Add a Player as the respected veteran and join the company as head booker and then leave the game as that player.

James Casey Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 That's true. It's difficult, but not impossible, for user characters to have positive events happen and that could cancel out simmering tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hire not only positive influences and locker room leaders (which is a must) but people that get along with each other. Get rid of the drug testing completely until the situation is resolved.

James Casey Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 <p>Yes. Negative drug tests bring down the locker room every time, and if your situation is <em>that</em> bad then you're just piling the pressure onto yourself.</p><p> </p><p> Meddle as much as you can, and check your workers' relationships to see who you can bring in to cheer them up. Do bear in mind that one night deals won't affect worker morale (at least, not in my experience). I'm not sure what the minimum is - one month, three months etc. Whatever it is, that's your best best along with pampering your workers!</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save_Us.Necro Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 So I'm working on a custom mod which I've been self testing and I have an issue I want to check on. So I have a bunch of WWE tryout/PC folks whom I have as yet to debut as start and future grads of the PC. But once they're available and debut in the game they're instantly free agents. Is there a way they can get auto signed if they aren't a user controlled company/school or wil they always end up as free agents? thanks again!

Bobbi Starr Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Are there any real world mods starting between 2001 and 2004? I looked in the mods forum, but either they don't exist or I am blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derlele Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 <p>Stop declining physical ability in a running game?</p><p> </p><p> In my NJPW Save about 1 year in Naito started to get penalised for declining ability, eventhough he is only 36 years old. I have now set a higher declining age via the database editor, but it won't adopt it in the running game. Is there a way to stop the declining ability in the running game or do i have to start a new game if i want to utilise him to his full extent? Thank you for your answers.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
