Small Questions Thread & "Living FAQ"


Recommended Posts

I've tried to do a forum search but "contract" brings up loads of posts so hopefully someone can help with this.

 

I'm currently the number 1 company in my game in popularity, importance, influence, finance, everything, I'm trying to steal 2 Japanese workers from my biggest rival (both companies based in the US)

 

The problem i have is that when i go to offer contracts, they're offering contracts at 50k+ when my owner will only allow me to offer 34k maximum.

 

Why is this? Surely as the biggest company in the world, with a flashy owner, i'd be able to compete with them properly? Even the numbers 3 and 4 companies are offering more than i can?

 

Anyone have any advice on how i can improve my offers?

 

Thanks

How would you successfully book a squash match? I mean in terms of match length and road agent notes?

 

Also, I'm guessing it won't be smart to do it in title matches, given the length of the match?

 

Depends on if you're looking for the max pop gain for the winner or the highest match rating for the show.

 

The "well-executed squash" RA note shows up when you have high card vs low card in a match of 5 minutes or less. That's really all you need to get the highest rating possible.

 

In theory you can trade some of that rating for a bigger boost to the victor with the dominate note, but I don't have much sense of numerically what that does.

Can you have the same title switch hands to two different superstars on one show, or will the game not recognize the new champion until the show has been run?

 

Example: Wrestler B beats Wrestler A to win the title. Wrestler C then cashes in on Wrestler B (either via angle or match) and wins the title. That's three different champs from the show starts 'till it ends. Will the game recognize that?

<p>So, one thing that annoys me, is that half the guys in my development doesn't have gimmicks? Why won't the booker assign them gimmicks??</p><p> </p><p>

If I call them up, set a gimmick, use them and activate the gimmick change, they still don't have one when they're sent back down.</p>

So, Bret Hart was caught in a scandal and the WWF fired him.

However, he wouldn't even talk to me because I was at cult level.

However, I get a warning saying he's toxic and he might cost me sponsors possibly income.

As the game will tell you, he can be toxic from anywhere from 6 months to 3 years. In my Impact save, NJPW fired Hiroshi Tanahashi do to a scandal, and I hired him immidately. I'm almost two years into his scandal, and his still toxic. He is my current World Heavyweight Champ. Attendances isn't really lower, as the game says (atleast for me), I still draw around 16k pr tv-show, and 30k pr PPV. (I'm at National). Regarding Income and sponsors, I don't really know. I make around 2 to 4 million pr. month, and I don't think it was any higher when I hired him.

 

I'd say take a chance and sign him. Maybe sign him on a short term deal to begin with, so you can kick him out if it causes you problems. But I haven't really felt any negatives when signing Tanahashi. Heck, he's my World Champion while still being toxic! :D

Thanks, I'm going to take a chance and sign Bret

 

Next question:

I see a lot more opportunity in cancelling my face/heel divide. It just gives me a lot more guess options and top matches.

 

Does anyone have any experience in scrapping it in a US company and the effect it will have on pop, etc.?

<p>Two questions I'm hoping someone will be able to answer.</p><p> </p><p>

1. How long does it take a worker to recover from a chronic injury? It states "Chuck Palumbo is currently working through a Chronic Lower Back Pain". It doesn't state when it will end. Also, does giving them time off help?</p><p> </p><p>

2. Is there any way to raise a child companies production values? I've got multiple child companies and my main one is suffering with show quality because their production values aren't as high, but I can't work out if there's any way to raise them.</p>

2. No. I'm pretty sure they have to do that themselves.

 

Perfect, thanks. "A few months", it says.

 

I thought that might be the case. I guess the only way to do it would be to add a 2nd player and take over the child company. But that would mean ending the relationship etc.

Anyone have something for me on this?

 

Also, is there a way, in the editor, to delay the physical decline of wrestlers?

How come the game is telling me that Tanahashi needs to be booked in shorter matches (16 mins) when on TV, but when I book him in 22 minute title matches on PPV, I don't get a note?

 

Is it stamina related?

 

Are you using things like Slow Build and Storyline match aims and stuff? These things lessen stamina effects and they're not working as hard.

Hmm... I'm using the all-out note for the TV matches (16 minutes), but not on the PPV's (20 minutes plus). That's probably it :)

Is there any way to work around signing with a company for my show after being dropped for too many bad shows? NBC dropped me from prime time and now I'm being told I can't negotiate with anyone in the U.S. for a year...

 

Side note:

 

This seems entirely unrealistic and I noticed its in TEW 20. How did this not get fixed? If a show was getting 20.0+ ratings week in and week out, wouldn't a lesser broadcasting company want that show? That might not be good enough for NBC in prime time, but surely that's good enough for AMC in the graveyard time slot..........
