<p>How much impact is there when a product makes a skill less effective? So for example MAWs product says the aerial and hardcore skills are less effective. How much impact should that have on who I decide to push?</p><p> </p><p>

Does it only impact those that are close to each other? So should only be taken into consideration if I have two wrestlers with the same in ring skills but one is a brawler and the other is a cruiserweight?</p><p> </p><p>

Or is it a bigger penalty than that? So I should push a brawler that has lower in ring skills over a cruiserweight?</p>

[woody316]

And a question about dojos. How many wrestlers on average do you get get for each of the new worker frequency settings: very low, low, medium, high, very high and extremely high?

How much impact is there when a product makes a skill less effective? So for example MAWs product says the aerial and hardcore skills are less effective. How much impact should that have on who I decide to push?

 

Does it only impact those that are close to each other? So should only be taken into consideration if I have two wrestlers with the same in ring skills but one is a brawler and the other is a cruiserweight?

 

Or is it a bigger penalty than that? So I should push a brawler that has lower in ring skills over a cruiserweight?

 

I forget what the exact math was, but iirc a worker's individual match rating is largely influenced by their three(?) highest in-ring stats (maybe it included Basics, I can't find the post/thread) or something like that. So if Flippy MacKenzie is going to have his high Aerial stat negatively effected by the product, he'll have a worse performance than a guy who has high Hardcore or Puroresu or w/e where Flippy has his Aerial stat.

 

That doesn't mean that Flippy won't ever get good match ratings, just that he won't get as high as he could. The penalty isn't that harsh.

Wow. I don't think anyone but Adam can answer this one

Is there a difference between taping a show and showing it on TV later or doing it live?

My TV show is coming up soon for re-negotiation. I was wondering what is better for a weekly show? A subscription network, or a commercial network? (I can choose either Netstream or C.A.N.N.)

[Jon The GOAT]

Will I be safe from getting fired if I fail a critical goal but have excellent owner approval?

<p>In a game I started as PGHW, they started off with a TV show on PPV called The King's Road, but after I noticed on my observer save they didn't have that show I made a test one, to find <a href="https://i.imgur.com/k6KAPYr.png?1" rel="external nofollow">they don't start with it either</a>. Anyone have any idea what's going on there?</p><p> </p><p>

Sort of related, but I also made a deal for a tour highlights tv show, figuring it'd be a good income source, but it doesn't seem to ever broadcast? Or will that only ever happen when off tour? I made the deal in February while off tour.</p>

[LlamaSquad]

If you run tour events, highlights will air if you have a deal, though it may not tell you. I also saw the TV thing, I can only assume it's an update but I'm not sure.

[LlamaSquad]

Regarding the owner goal 'must have at least as much popularity in X as at game start', how is this determined? Is it an average across the whole area?

[Tterrag]

I didn't edit anything, that was a game I started on the demo and which carried over to the retail version. I started off with King's Road on Hyboso; my current guess is that game (and my observer game) are now preserving ghosts of a version of the game that no longer exists post-updates, so that TV deal is gone and so on. A RTG character I'd made vanished from the database too so that would make sense as a guess.

[Derek B]

It sounds like you haven't been in admin mode at some point when you've been playing as that can mess with your data. Don't continue that game, it will likely have a lot of issues and they won't be able to get fixed.

[LlamaSquad]

Unless I’ve been avoiding admin for weeks or accidentally deleted the deal, all of my recent saves have had King’s Road off-air.

<p>Hey all</p><p> </p><p>

I had a developmental talent that I could have sworn I requested negotiations for but now he has left my company and refuses to re-sign for now. Thus far looking through the editor I've found no way in 2016 to force him to re-sign or generate a contract with me but I recall being able to do that 2013. Is there any way to achieve this without booking another 6-10 months until he's ready to sign with me again?</p>

[gazwefc83]

As the owner of a promotion how far into debut are you able to go, what is the eventual outcome if you keep getting further into the red?

[Chris]

<p>Starting a new WWF 96 save and as we all know there are plenty of guys on steroids and hard drugs.</p><p> </p><p>

In your own experiences what’s the best way to attack this, there are a few main eventers HBK, Hall, Nash etc who won’t be happy with any interventions but I don’t think sending them all to rehab is a good idea. Maybe 1 or 2 at a time and hope they don’t all get pissed.</p><p> </p><p>

For steroids you can’t send them to rehab and any action i take very rarely gets a positive response. I suppose it’s probs true to real life as it’s not as simple as slap on the wrist and the drugs are gone <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/rolleyes.png.4b097f4fbbe99ce5bcd5efbc1b773ed6.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Or should I just ignore it for any of my top guys unless they start causing major issues.</p>
