<p>Does anyone have any idea why I might have one worker in development who I can't call up to work shows? He's on the same type of contract as everyone else, and I've just noticed after months he's not showing up when I go to borrow from development.</p><p> </p><p>

He's still working shows for my child company, no injuries etc. I tried recalling him and sending him back down, still doesn't show up.</p>

<p>Does moving a title between wrestlers from the Titles menu have any negative effect on either the title's prestige or ratings of future title matches or anything?</p><p> </p><p>

Or, is there an angle that allows titles to be transferred?</p><p> </p><p>

For instance, if I want to have a match where the challenger wins on PPV, but an authority figure throws out the match the next day and returns the belt to the champ.</p>

You really should imo add the title change into the angle itself. That's exactly the situation that the feature exists for.</p>

what is gimmick twicking and how it works?

[LloydCross]

what is gimmick twicking and how it works?

 

Occasionally you'll get a match note that "X wrestler has a gimmick that is becoming stale". They're gimmick rating will drop steadily over time (I don't know how long it takes). Tweaking the gimmick stops this process, and I believe even allows good performers to start improving at playing their gimmick again/further.

 

In general, when I get that match note I look at their current gimmick rating and momentum and if I'm not ready to give them a new gimmick (Most likely because they have a Good or better rating) just yet, then I use the tweak function.

[Teh_Showtime]

Based on my current situation, I'm positive this goes by Influence and not Importance. I'm currently number 2 in Importance and have more prestige and momentum than the number 3 team. Influence seems to be the only thing they're higher in and the mutual PPA guys all work for them.

 

I think it's entirely based on company prestige actually, not even just influence (which I believe includes size as well)

What does the auto-push function take into account? I have a worker, won't name names since is about my dynasty, who has major popularity, major positive momentum, has beat multiple main eventers, but whenever I use the auto-push function just will not rise above Upper Midcard level.

 

Is there an invisible ceiling this worker might have hit? Or is there some other part that plays a role when the auto-push function decides where a worker belong?

His worker style (technician, entertainer etc.) probably doesn't fit well with your product.

What is his and the Main Eventer's Charisma and Star Quality at?I believe this also plays a role.

I am trying to figure out how to use the editor to edit a promotion and have the changes take effect during a game I've already started. Anytime I go to the editor and change things, it only effects new games, not current game saves, but I'm sure I've read on here that it is possible to edit things in a saved game. Help!

[Gungner]

If you don't have any TV-shows, and only have Events that are not televised, are announcers then really needed? I keep getting told that I might receive penalties, but I only have monthly events that are not televised...

What is a better way to develop young talent, in terms of stats, having them in a developmental deal and having great trainers train them down there, or having them on the main roster and giving them matches with other young wrestlers and other random wrestlers on the pre-show/post-show and maybe sometimes with upper midcarders or maineventers (have the young wrestlers lose of course)?

How do I assign a worker to a division? I see that I can filter by division in my roster screen, but even when I have tag teams, no one shows up in the tag team division filter or cruiserweights for the cruiserweight filter.

On his profile, you'll see his 'Push' (Opener, Lower Midcarder, Midcarder etc) in orange, click that and you'll see Current Division. Change that, save it, and you're good to go.</p>

Go to the editor and see the exact number of popularity the broadcaster requires and the exact number of popularity you have,or uncheck "show stats as grades rather than numbers" in the user's preferences.A grade can range from a certain number to another.
