So if you want workers in both promotions for a few shows, you could do that.

You can set up a 5:1 trade at a time and do it over and over as much as you like. Alliance loans work, but you have to limit them or the alliance will tell you to stop.

CharlieRock Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 One thing that I've done is have a 3 or 4 person match with the winner of the belt and the loser not involve the champion at all. I used the Keep Strong on the champ and it (to my mind) is one of those times when the champ says he only has a 1 in 3 chance of keeping the title, it comes true. The Angel/Jericho/Benoit title matches where Angel lost both titles to both Chris' without being involved in either fall was on my mind when Scythe moved into the Upper Mid Card and held 2 lower titles. I've also had a new feud setup for the champ to start and have that guy interfere with the match allowing the champ to move on to another storyline while letting my new champ have new challenges to face. Every time I have done that they still get upset. Not enough to become a disturbance in the locker room, but I hate risk losing the morale bonus. I even had them lose it in a tag match with their partner taking the pin, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that the show will be rated by angles to matches as their ratioon the card, however I'm not noticing the usual popularity gains for workers for high-rated angles as I usually do in a pop over perf promotion. The product sometimes says that the rating is "more" perf over pop, and sometimes you can work it so it says the rating is "much more" for perf over pop. If you are in the extra adjective category of perf over pop, try working in a little more of the top categories. I may be wrong, but I have seen products where they are equally rated. So I always imagined a balance scale that tips to one side, and then tips very much to one side. With the perf getting a bigger slice of the rating each time the scale tips more towards it. P.S. I had one that was much more perf over pop. And then I tried one that was only "more" perf over pop. I know they gained popularity much faster in the former when they had good matches. But my roster was burning out quickly (heavy intensity is a side effect of perf over pop). So I tried loosening up the scale a bit and they climb pop slower but I get longer lasting workers. (which meant more shows which balanced the pop gains out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn michaels Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Is there any way to see if a company is owned by a media group during the game? Used to be possible before, dunno if it changed for 16, but I can't seem to find any indication about it either on the broadcasters or the promotions pages.

DarK_RaideR Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 When I filter a list of workers on "In-Ring Workers", what skills am I actually filtering on? I had always assumed it was top row skills, until I came across this row of skills on a worker as a "Great In-Ring Worker": Which made me assume it was maybe an average of top and second row skills or something, but does someone actually know? As far as I know, only the best of the top row skills is taken into account (with the exception of Flashiness working as a bonus to Aerial, if I'm not mistaken). This worker shows because he/she has a good Aerial skill (and maybe because as a bonus, a good Flashiness rating too). Pretty one-sided, but pretty good at what he/she does.

shadowmaster Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Title History Is their anyway to edit the title history of a belt? The reason I ask is I just held one of our PPV's and had a match pitting the Demons of Rage vs. Midnight Express for the World Tag title. Demons were supposed to win, defending their title. Demon Anger suffered a herniated spinal disc and they called an audible with the Express winning. The problem here is Bobby Eaton was pulled up from one of my developmental companies so right after the event he went back down to development and vacated the title. I pulled him back up and awarded Midnight Express the titles, but now it shows them as being two time champions since they won the title and lost it when Eaton went to Dev and won it again when I awarded it to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not enough to become a disturbance in the locker room, but I hate risk losing the morale bonus. I even had them lose it in a tag match with their partner taking the pin, lol. I think that my 97% backstage rating helped a bit but I also setup Scythe for a lose by having him lose by DQ to both Kirk and Spencer (I think that's who it was) when they had 1-on-1 matches with Scythe and the other would attack the challenger (Kirk would attack Spencer and vice versa) helping both challengers with a pop boost. I moved Scythe to a different storyline just before that title match and gave him a tainted victory against someone at his level (Lassie I think) at the next tv show right away so that his morale wasn't too badly hurt. He still hasn't won a title at that level yet, he's just been flirting with the Main Eventers and will be Vengeance's dragon when he wins the title next PPV.

KyleCamelot Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Has anybody been able to get Marc Dubois to improve his behavior?
