Ves928 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Couple of things: If I have a deal with a broadcaster for PPVs, but I don't actually use them, am I incurring costs from the deal? Also, I know that pre-show segments don't affect overall card ratings or advance storylines, but are there any other effects? Specifically, if I choose to put title matches on a pre-show, will that hurt the prestige of the title or match rating or anything else? I have WM coming up and don't think I'll be able to put all my title matches on the main card but do want them defended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you only incur costs from using them.</p><p> </p><p> As for the second one, nope. It won't hurt match rating or title prestige. Generally speaking, matches on the preshow don't rate as high because the crowd isn't as hot and storyline heat doesn't help, but it won't tank your match result or title matches. I've had plenty of preshow matches that were as good as anything on the main card.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 <p>Just started playing again after a few years so cant remember a lot</p><p> </p><p> Why, if a gimmick is rated great, can it sometimes still say they are not suited to the gimmick? Seems like half my WWE roster gets notes during each match to say their not suited</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It's to do with their gimmick performance skills. If those are low then they can be unsuited to a gimmick, even if the gimmick has a great rating. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassan Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Is it worth changing them then to something more suited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 It'll be a small penalty all the time, but the great gimmick rating will give a bonus. Is a judgement call to make. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 In my experience it’s much easier getting those ratings with a normal match aim as opposed to Spectacle or Epic, even with the best workers in the world. I almost never use those because they seem to be lower than a normal match would net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snakesonaplane Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Two quick questions please, 1. Did we ever figure out exactly what stats affect workers doing sick bumps and death matches? 2.) When adding a title history do you add entries for 'vacant' or 'vacated'? I notice a lot of mod makers do this for real world mods but i checked the default data and there's no title i could see that had such a thing. So how to reflect a vacated title. So worker A vacates and then Worker B beats Worker C for vacant title. Title history should just have worker A and then worker B as next champ?

scottk1983 Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 I have a broadcaster with Big coverage across the United States and I also have a PPV deal with Medium coverage across the United States. Speaking strictly for TV shows and events broadcast on PPV, is there any benefit, other than realism, to holding shows outside my home region of the South West?

bookerman Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 <p>Probably common knowledge now, but if you edit USPWs owners roster preference to medium from large, the initial hiring binge in the C-Verse doesn’t happen. Playing as NYCW, Cage hasn’t been snatched up and Ricky DeColt is still with CGC going into February. </p><p> </p><p> USPW’s owner is Allan Packer.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans want to see you there There's only so much popularity you can gain from just television, if you're not appearing there regularly you will cap out.
