<p>Can someone help me and explain why my pop won't rise? (Im assuming it's something to do with the economy and industry, but i'd like to be sure.)</p><p> </p><p>

I'm playing as 5SSW, and the Japanese economy and wrestling industry got rocked by that Tsunami. The economy and industry are currently at 27 and rising, so this could definitely be the issue. </p><p> </p><p>

I've fallen to small level, and it's been almost 9 months and I'm rapidly dropping pop. I just put on an 80 rated JoshiMania show, and my pop actually dropped a point. What am I doing wrong here?</p>

If I keep a hot storyline going after a Season Finale show are there any penalties? Is the Season Finale check box just for the CPU?

<p>this might be a bug, but I'm not sure. I thought I would post it here to see if anyone had any tips.</p><p> </p><p>

I have a wrestler that changes his mind on what role he wants in my company. If I make him an occasional worker, he says he would rather not be an in ring performer. If I change him to a road agent, or personality, he says he would be better used as an occasional wrestler. </p><p> </p><p>

any tips on how to make him happy? It's the Rock from a 2013 real world converted mod, he is super popular.</p>

In-Ring means giving him a place on the card (Midcard, main eventer, etc). He will accept an Occasional Wrestler role, so if he says "I'd rather be an in-ring performer but my current role is fine" then he won't get upset about being occasional.</p>

I'll try it out. Thanks

Greetings.. I have just downloaded a new mod, and I am struggling to work out how I can import the angles I created in my previous save game into this mod, to save me having to start with zero angles again, it only gives me the option to add them from the initial db, none of my savegames are displayed.. How can I import them??

<p>Hello all <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Are there any negatives or positives in borrowing from developmental to have matches on the main roster? Will the dev talents gain any skills/pop? Any negatives like affecting their pop losing on the main roster?</p><p> </p><p>

I'm trying to cut down on using the same people to job to my more focused stars. I use locals, but also wanted to know is it beneficial to use dev talents too?</p>

[Rick Savant]

<p>Hey! This question got lost in the shuffle! Are "Years of service" consecutive years of service or total? As in do they reset every time a contract expires?</p><p> </p><p>

So, if I someone worked for a promotion for 2 years, left for six months, then came back for a year, would that be 3 or 1 years of service at that point?</p>

It took me a few looks to notice, but it appears that Laberinto Jr has a swastika in the middle of his lucha mask. Innocent design flaw, or is there a reason behind this?

Is there any advantage to having two development promotions?

I've recently managed to takeover PGHW on my C-Verse game, with my custom company. How are the PGHW Elite Tag Series and PGHW Elite Series

meant to be booked? I know nothing about PGHW and I want to stick to canon.

Does anyone know what days are the holidays? Are they static, where they occur on the same day every year?

[Bazman1981]

Storyline Heat

 

In a Real World Mod I have a storyline involving AJ Styles, Roman Reigns, John Cena and Seth Rollins for the WWE Title.

I ran an angle using 3 of them stating that a number one contender match would occur which got a B- rating.

Same show I then had Rollins attack Styles and Cena making the save which got an A rating

Same show again I then had Styles beat Rollins which got a B-.

 

All 3 of the above appear in the "Previous Segments" of my storyline page but for some reason the storyline heat just shows a dash and no rating. This has also happened on another storyline however I have other storylines which have ratings.

 

Is this a glitch/bug or have I done something wrong?

 

Thanks

As far as I can tell they are static. I haven't watched all of them, but my main event is on the 4th of July with is always Thurs week 1.

If you have a lot of workers under development deals it is a good way to make sure everyone works regularly.

For example, if I signed Eva Marie, I wouldn't send her to a WWE-lite promotion. I'd send her to a puro promotion so she can learn how to work and build some toughness. Some workers might need work on entertainment skills. You wouldn't send them to a promotion with a 90% match ratio to accomplish that.
