Jaysin Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I cant seem to figure out how to get rid of my B Shows by asking the cable provider to get out of the contract. Its either not there or in a different spot than '13. When you click negotiate one of the drop down options is to cancel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek B Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 It's B- for the Sex Appeal requirement.

awesomenessofme1 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Can you negotiate TV show contracts for child companies? I think you might be able to do it if you have your own broadcaster, but definitely not otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeeeHaw83 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm trying to learn the details of how population caps work. Essentially I made a small mod and I've done some test sims to see how the mod develops and the exact same workers are capable of increasing their population beyond 90 and all the way to 100. The vast majority seem to be capped around 90. I was under the impression there was some sort of hidden "destiny roll" that determined population cap, and that it was random for each playthrough. That doesn't seem to be the case in my experience. Like I said, it's the same workers every playthrough that can gain and hold popularity above 90. It doesn't seem to change with manipulating their stats in the editor either. I saw elsewhere that Adam had said charisma and star quality determine the popularity caps, but when I buff those two stats on a worker capped at 90, start a new game, and sim a few years, the results seem to always be the same. That worker seems to be capped at 90 no matter how they start the game. Anyone with experience with this issue able to give me a little more in-depth breakdown of the popularity cap. I think it's a sensible addition, afterall everyone can't be a household name, but it would be really nice if the workers who ascend to 100 popularity were different each playthrough.

Bigpapa42 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think you might be able to do it if you have your own broadcaster, but definitely not otherwise. This is correct. Without your own broadcaster, its up to whoever is running your child company. they will if they gain enough size and there is available broadcasters.

YeeeHaw83 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I think you might be able to do it if you have your own broadcaster, but definitely not otherwise. Yeah, under your development tab there is a TV controls tab and on that screen you have the option to put your development shows on your own network should you have one. It's actually a great way to get your development talent some popularity before calling them up to your main roster. IMO, the best reason to invest in your own network as soon as possible. Otherwise everyone called up from development will likely be below the enhancement talent on your roster in popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise everyone called up from development will likely be below the enhancement talent on your roster in popularity. You can also use the "Borrow from Development" function. Having top developmental workers job on your B show can rapidly move them from zero popularity to like D range if you are a national level promotion. The low popularity mechanic is very helpful in this regard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Asaemon Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Being a jobber or appearing on TV in my current save will quickly get anyone to 40 overness (WCW) and 35 overness (WWF) all across the U.S.A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Development workers who are called up lose momentum which is shared with the development promotion. So if you do call them up at a later date and you've made a habit out of burying them on tv, they're momentum will be shot.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm trying to learn the details of how population caps work.

I think it's a sensible addition, afterall everyone can't be a household name, but it would be really nice if the workers who ascend to 100 popularity were different each playthrough. Charisma and star quality are heavily involved in the calculation, but they're not the only thing - a worker's starting popularity is also taken into consideration (which, from your wording, is the information you were missing), as are several other factors like size. It sounds like you are inadvertently rendering your test ineffective with your starting popularity / skill values, as there are astronomical odds against a majority of workers having 90 or above as a cap without artificial boosts. Nor would the same person get a 90+ cap each time unless they were being artifically boosted. As you specifically said that you only simmed "a few years" to get the workers to 90 popularity, that would indicate that you're starting them out with high popularity - I'd guess 75+ - which means that you're effectively "loading the dice" and all but guaranteeing a very high cap.

Mr. Bungle Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 <p>I've gone national!!

Chris Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'm playing 2006 Shifting Sands Mod and I'm teaming Regal up with Paul Burchill, I'm not having them as a Tag Team more Regal having him as his lackey/protection and I'm playing the angles of Regal teaching and mentoring him at the same time. When Burchill is having single matches should I be setting Regal as his manager as I want him at ringside (will this bring negative effect as Regal isnt manager?) or is it better to just use the outside interference instruction in the match details.

Using Regal as a manager is just fine. Someone doesn't need to have the active role of Manager to be one. Interference is just that, interference. Most people have some wrestlers managing others. I usually do that with all my Tag-Teams. In historical AE mods, for example, WWF has "Sex Appeal requirement" atleast on Low. Since WWF Women would drag down the ratings with their matches at the time, it's easier to have them manage some of the male wrestlers. TL;DR No penalties for using non-managers as Managers outside of Chemistry effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bungle Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 There is always the chance that they come back on their own. Depending on your company size and the worker themselves you can even attempt to hire them back into the business How? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moafnsteel Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 How does a worker gain Respect? I’m pretty sure they gain respect by just working and being active. I’m sure there is more to it, but I know in my RtG games my worker gains it slowly throughout the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungNoble Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The normal "Negotiate" button. Usually they will refuse, though Especially if they have no role assigned to them I am 99% sure that this is incorrect. If they are set to "out of the business" they cannot be signed.
