Small Questions Thread & "Living FAQ"

[RichWolf]

<p>Hello everyone, I've been playing again for a while and got two questions for you:</p><p> </p><p>

1) Is there anything I can do to "cap" a workers Overness? I have a hot babyface tag team and they both got the recommended "Main Eventer" push from the game, but I don't want them up there yet. If I put them back into the upper midcard they get annoyed with me, if I leave them up in the main event the game pushes two of my "real" main event babyfaces into the upper midcard. Should I just leave everyone in the ME despite what the game recommends as a push?</p><p> </p><p>

2) Any ideas on what to do with older guys who are declining but you don't want to let go because they've been in the company for ages? I have three older guys (40+) who are slowing down hard and their matches are always the lowest rated on the card, but they've been with me for years and I don't just want to toss them out.</p>

Hello everyone, I've been playing again for a while and got two questions for you:

 

1) Is there anything I can do to "cap" a workers Overness? I have a hot babyface tag team and they both got the recommended "Main Eventer" push from the game, but I don't want them up there yet. If I put them back into the upper midcard they get annoyed with me, if I leave them up in the main event the game pushes two of my "real" main event babyfaces into the upper midcard. Should I just leave everyone in the ME despite what the game recommends as a push?

 

2) Any ideas on what to do with older guys who are declining but you don't want to let go because they've been in the company for ages? I have three older guys (40+) who are slowing down hard and their matches are always the lowest rated on the card, but they've been with me for years and I don't just want to toss them out.

 

There is no penalty having both as main event, you just need to manually assign rather than auto push.

 

On 2 I would either make occasional push if popular enough to put people over or move to a developmental set up to help up and commers. Other option is to tag one old with one young guy but only really helps if they have the pop or psych to help ratings of the younger partner.

 

Or classic manager, staff transition if good enough

Is there anywhere in the game to see exactly who pinned who in a multi-person tag match after the show has been completed?

<p>Signed a TV deal with the biggest Mexican broadcaster, and then I canceled the one I had with a smaller Mexican company. But the deal with the large one won't start and it won't let me cancel. I also can't get any other deals with Mexican broadcasters. I checked and there is no competing or clashing coverage. </p><p> </p><p>

Any ideas on how to fix this?</p>

If a worker is set in the editor to regenerate without a picture, does that mean that their regen will use an applicable free picture instead?

Is it possible that someone backstage is supplying my guys with drugs? I do a full roster drug test every month and I always catch at least one person addicted to pain killers. Its never anything else, always pain killers. I don't have a dirty doctor backstage, so that can't be it.

Been thinking about dipping into Quebec Pro Wrestling and running a local promotion there. Not near my computer at the moment, so I wanted to ask how many Quebecois wrestlers are in the database who could fill the roster? I can think of Montreal Mafia, but anyone else?

Fourteen wrestlers, one manager, and three announcers.

Mm. That should be enough to beat up some Anglophones.

It really never ever happens. Unless they actually start some sort of romantic involvement first. :D:D (Sorry, had to. It was right there. )

Is there a way to get rid of a 3rd brand without undoing the entire brand split? I have Raw/SD/205 Live and it is not letting me get rid of 205 Live.

<p>I am trying the demo and I am having the hardest time to get mods to work. I create a new mod folder, extract the download to desktop and drag to replace in newmod folder, yet when I select it gives me database errors. I am wanting to do the April update I saw here. </p><p>

I am assuming mods work on the demo, that shouldn't be the issue, should it? I don't know what else to do. It's probably something simple I am doing wrong. </p><p> </p><p>

It doesnt explain your errors but when I played the demo, I found you could only start in games that also started in January.
