<p>Do you guys budget your rosters when playing the game? </p><p> </p><p>

It's something I've started to get into more recently after hearing a Bruce Prichard podcast where he talked about how the roster budget in like, 1996 was around 9 million dollars. It struck me that actual companies budget themselves overall in a way that we don't really take into account because we just go "we're in the red" and "we're in the black" most times .</p><p> </p><p>

In recent games I've started trying to set budgets and profit markers as part of a rules system for booking, television time, etc... and I was wondering if anyone else had their own ideas or rules on the matter.</p>

Does anyone use Custom setting for merch? Any tips? It seems like there is a lot of game material to go through there and honestly I haven't even looked past the "whoa, you can make hats?!" point before I felt overwhelmed. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/eek.png.0e09df00fa222c85760b9bc1700b5405.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Running something like a touring promotion helps because you have tournaments, young lions and the like to flesh out how you want to visualize the product. The budgetary stuff helps because I can try and focus where to run shows most often and where I should logistically tour from show to show. Other stuff I'm trying to formulate are the merchandise as well as freelancer or guest appearances. </p><p> </p><p> I think there's a lot of stuff in terms of sports management that can be crafted out of the game for a dynasty or one's own entertainment, so I might have to go play a game of FIFA Manager or Movie Tycoon to get some pointers, hah.</p>

If I build a dev territory in another country outside of my home area, does that mean I could potentially sign people from other countries to dev deals? Or would I at least be able to let the AI sign locals and then borrow them to try and go around the restricted workers?

[Jazz49ers]

Probably a stupid question, but can a wrestler who is injured but still able to fight, gain skill improvements?

In theory, the AI would sign local guys to contracts though. Off the top of my head, I am not sure if you can borrow workers who are on PPA deals with your child company, or just ones on developmental deals.</p>

Haven't paid attention on my injured wrestlers' development, but I don't see any reason for them not to, especially if they're working through the injury and wrestling in matches.

When someone is selected to interfere in a match, does their overness have any affect on the match and is their overness and momentum affected by the match grade or is it purely cosmetic?

[infinitehallway]

What impacts your importance in a region? Does running more shows (or better shows) in a region increase it or is it purely random?

[LlamaSquad]

What impacts your importance in a region? Does running more shows (or better shows) in a region increase it or is it purely random?

 

AFAIK, importance is mostly determined by popularity at lower levels, but for higher companies it also takes into account the actual region’s importance in the wrestling world. For example, in the default C-Verse Tri State is 100 and Mid South is about 80-85, so a National company with the same popularity in both regions would, I think, have higher importance in the Tri State region.

Do tag teams build experience if they are part of a 6 or 8 man tag? I am just breaking into the mexico market in my game and I would like to maybe create a 6man tag title and division. Wondering how experience works in this situation.

 

1. does a 2 man team competing inside of a 3vs3 man match gain any expereince as a team?

 

2. does a 2 mans team experience give a match bonus in a 3 vs 3 like it would in a 2v2 match?

 

3. Is it worth it to create multiple 2 man tag teams for my 6 man division? example, if i have wrestlers 1, 2, and 3 in a trio, would it make sense to create an official tag team with wrestler 1 and 2, another one with 2 and 3, and a final tag with members 1 and 3 so they all gain experience?

 

4. Does creating a stable have ANY effect? I always assumed it was kind of just there to help the user keep track and that it didnt actually give any match bonuses.

I once ran a two-player game by myself with two regional companies (one USA, one Japan) and traded talent all day long. as a regional company on both ends I am quite sure I did not have written contracts.</p>

<p>Is there anyway to negate the loss of momentum for your company when a workers contract expires? (other than using the in-game editor)</p><p> </p><p>

I like to bring in workers for just a few appearances and not keep them long term.</p>

Just to double check... if you run a B show it doesn't affect your popularity... <em>even for the live crowd in the region you're hosting it in</em>, right?
