<p>So, BHOTWG just dropped to Cult in my game. They have a massive roster due to the weight split. Yet they went on a bit of a hiring spree immediately after dropping in size. It's a bit annoying for me because they'll now be signing two guys I had my eye on to written deals. </p><p>

Does anyone have any explanation why they would increase their roster after dropping in size?</p>

Yes, that all makes sense, but they could have easily done that months ago. The fact they did that right after falling to cult size seems a bit weird and "buggy" to me.

I still can't think of a logical explanation why they would only start signing people after dropping to cult.

Is non-user worker chemistry able to be discovered anywhere else besides user house shows or cards? Just curious if the AI promotions get the benefits/curses of good and bad chemistry with their workers, teams, managers, etc.

Are there any penalties for running a Friday night and Saturday night PPV show? I'm trying to do something like an 'All Star Weekend' event.

Nope

 

I do double headers frequently when I run created feds. The biggest thing might be worker fatigue if you plan on having them in two long matches back to back.

In the same way that highly rated storylines can boost a match rating, can a low rated storyline hinder a match rating? So if I have a storyline rated considerably lower than both workers’ popularity, would it be beneficial to end the storyline prior to their match?

How can I tell if a worker needs a new gimmick before I start my first show? Im doing flashpoint 2k19 and did Wrestlekingdom and it told me everyone needed a better gimmick so it screwed the show. I want to restart and wanted to go through the whole roster before proceeding

[smmccallum]

I signed Eric Tyler as a non wrestler, obviously. His contract states Never Involves In Ring Work. I want him to have 1 match. A Tag Match against Brooke. Is there anyway to do this with the editor. I know how to change his retirement status and all but is there anyway around the contract stipulation with or without the editor? Thanks

<p>Is it possible to get a 4th TV show? I'm WWF in 1999 (1996 scenario), profitable, International level but I cannot get a broadcaster to agree to add a 4th show. I have two A shows and one B show currently.</p><p> </p><p>

If it is possible, what is the criteria to get the 4th show?</p>

Not when my game was tied up advancing through a couple of years, but thanks for the helpful answer...

Yes, absolutely. The penalty may be slight, but it's the same principle as having a main eventer fighting a midcarder - the fans won't 100% buy into the match because something's holding them back from doing so.

If a similar situation arises, copy and paste the TEW exe file in the game folder and you can have two instances of the game running at once. For obvious reasons, don't try running the same save on both!

 

(Adam may also have something to say about how this isn't a great idea for other reasons, but I've used it in the past so I can have the editor running while playing a save, for example).

 

Starting at Easy gives you a million and Cult status (C-/D+ in the main regions of the States) in the test I just ran, anyway. Others may be able to advise on other settings. I ran a quick search on the forum but couldn't fine an obvious record of what the other settings give you.

So, what separates someone who is considered Decent from someone who is considered Good at a skill? For instance, I could have 2 workers who have a 64 in Brawling, but only one will be considered a Good Brawler.
