Wow I didn’t know that part about relationships at all. Excellent find.

 

Same. Every day we find something new about the game even after all this time. Great stuff.

Can people die as a result of attempting to heal their injury via surgery? I just thought of it when I came upon in Dayu Ichihara's bio that he died during a routine operation and I've never heard of it happening.

This might be specified in-game help but I can't check at the moment. Adding Agers in the Database. Will a Retirement Ager override other agers if/when the worker retires? So if I have a couple of Agers in there for a worker for the period between 30 and 40, but they retire in a save at 32, will the Retirement ager take over or will it still cycle thru the set images up to 40?

So I've got a guy whose rated my NBT, but at 26 years old he's already a very negative influence. Is there anyway I can turn him around, or am I resigned to dealing with his rubbish or booting him?

So I've got a guy whose rated my NBT, but at 26 years old he's already a very negative influence. Is there anyway I can turn him around, or am I resigned to dealing with his rubbish or booting him?

 

If you have a good diplomacy rating, a good locker room rating, and a spot of luck, you can slowly set him straight through punishing him every time he screws up and hoping you get a good reaction from the NBT.

 

Also pretty sure if he has a mentor that is a good backstage presence, the mentor can/will slowly set him right-er too.

 

But yeah, punish him until he either hates your guts or until he flies right.

 

Surrounding him with good locker room presences will also drown out his bad nature, which will increase backstage rating and make incidents far less prevalent, so having one bad apple won't sour the batch.

 

Finally, the higher up the card they are, the more they affect backstage rating. So if he's a midcarder right now, he won't be as bad as if he is a main eventer.

Cool. Currently he's a lower mid. But I don't want to give him too much of a push if he's going to be a mega pain in the back side!

<p>Hi guys, new here.</p><p> </p><p>

My question is that as a parent company is there a way to prevent the AI from making a bunch of new events for your child companies? I've run some tests as WWE and NXT and I like NXT's current schedule of having 4 Takeovers a year and their usual television episodes... But it seems like every time I start a save as WWE the AI makes up its own events to round out NXT's annual schedule and I end up with a bunch of weird, generic NXT events I didn't really want.</p><p> </p><p>

I have a feeling there's no way to stop this, but if anyone else knows of a way to, I'd appreciate it if you'd fill me in. Thanks!</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Also, is there a way to set an AI-controlled event to solely book from a specific division (cruiserweight/women etc)?</p>

New generated wrestlers are getting a grey-head generic pic. Is that normal? I don't really know. I only started playing the game a month ago, and went straight away with playing with a 2016 Real Life Mod.

What Stamina does a worker need to do an hour broadway in a one on one match with 40% Intensity? I can't quite get the mark. I know it's somewhere about B- or B but can't pinpoint it.

If you are using a real world mod I would guess there aren’t any free random pics in the picture pack to assign to new wrestlers.

[Teh_Showtime]

Turn off show times in your save, create two copies of your save, edit a worker's Stamina, then check the results, copy a copy of your save, test, copy, test, and so on.

 

Also note using slow build will let guys go far longer before getting tired
