<p>Hello </p><p>

I was wondering about these storylines, if I for instance, want to make an epic type Storyline that runs for a year between Bret and Shawn, so it starts at survivor series 95 and runs till survivor series 96, they won't always face each other because I'd put other wrestlers in and out of the story line, so Shawn could feud with diesel and Bret could feud with Owen and they'd both win those feuds. So eventually I have like Shawn and Bret really over generally and as major success during the storyline. So would the final match between Shawn and Bret be like undeniably a 100 rated match. I guess what I am asking here is, is that the sorta way to go about getting two guys into epic superstar kinda category.</p>

I understand a worker's backstage effect is not set in stone, but without any incidents involving them (or their friends, partners etc) I've had otherwise "neutral" workers become negative backstage influences, but never the other way round, neither negatives going neutral nor neutral becoming positive. Last show this went further, when my Road Agent apparently was no longer a locker room leader. I checked skill tracking, no loss in respect or reputation. Could it be a bug? I just can't get how they've lost leadership skills and the respect of the locker room out of the blue.

Does your road agent have negative morale?

I have two B shows with my National promotion. But, I wanted to add a women's division with their own show. If I make the show a B show will people on the roster get upset about not being on the show?? I am probably not explaining this thought correctly sorry if it seems confusing.

[Gungner]

People won't get upset at missing B-Shows... Only A-shows will do that

[UEWpro]

I thought there was a new way to search for wrestlers. I'm trying to find out when a guy will debut, but I can't find him. Can't you search for someone under their altar ego's?

[Gungner]

<p>If he's yet to debut, he won't show up under wrestlers. </p><p>

Your only option is to go to the in-game editor and find him under "workers" and see when he's gonna debut.</p>

<p>Hi ! I'm currently playing my first ever Total Extreme Wrestling career, with Ring of Honor, in the past I only played EWR. I have two main questions :</p><p> </p><p>

1) What are your advices in the development of a company ? I mean, above all, with broadcasting, and these king of things ? Currently, the only matter is to have a better time slot for my show, but I want some "goals" and "steps". I think the goal is to have a "ROH network" at the end, but the lower network would cost 12,000,000 dollars... and my benefits in the first two months are 75,000... so I would like to have a "guiding principle". And here in a line with my first question... what are youre advice to make money ? I can't keep making "only 75,000 dollars" months after months.</p><p> </p><p>

2) My goal, is to build "Super" INDY federation, with former superstars in TNA and WWE (Steen, Richards, Punk, Generico, Joe, Black...), current INDY stars (Cole, Buks, Omega, Sydal, Hero...) and build some new stars. Of course, I will have a huge roster, and one day I will need to split the roster. I have some questions about the draft : when I will have to do it, I don't want to use the "manual" way, I want some randomness in the draft (I guess it would be a complete draft). However, I want the draft to be balanced between the two brands, I mean the heel/face porportion, the main-eventers/upper-mid-carders/mid-carders/lower-mid-carders/openers proportion, to equivalent tag-team division etc... and how to do it ?</p><p> </p><p>

3) Third question I add, how to have the "numbers" in popularity, like in vbase's screen ?</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks !</p>

<p>Can you not force someone to change from Semi-Active Wrestler to Active Wrestler during a save?</p><p> </p><p>

I've tried changing Troy Murdoch/Ross Henry in a save from Semi-active, occassional wrestler to active, full time wrestler. It works but in his profile he is still listed as a Semi-Active wrestler.</p><p> </p><p>

When creating a developmental territory, what affect does the popularity have? Does it affect the rate at which workers will develop or does it affect whether some workers above a certain popularity will not sign a developmental contract?

Your company size as the parent company may factor in, but not the child company. </p><p> </p><p> The size of the child company affects the visibility. A bigger company will help the developmental talent somewhat by making popularity gains more significant. A bigger developmental company will also run bigger shows, using more of the talent. And there is the possibility that a bigger developmental company will look to get a broadcast deal with you having to set one up. </p><p> </p><p> Honestly, I used to open up the biggest developmental company I could afford. Now I open up 2 or 3 at the smallest size. Obviously depends on the product and the quality of the prospects. But I've found that if you can stock those companies with 15-20 good prospects, the companies grow quite well over time.</p>

[Gungner]

Speaking of development, I know that workers can get unhappy about being stuck down there, as they feel they won't improve anymore. But what if you send someone "down there to work"? Can they become unhappy too, and request being brought up?

I'm trying to decide upon if I want this.

 

I'm coming from playing the WMMA series. As it relates to the WMMA series, is this better or worse of a game?

 

I'm a wrestling fan that really doesn't watch wrestling at all anymore. But I still like the games and sims.
