woody316 Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I'm playing as a perf>pop fed that doesn't have any storyline requirements, however, I always use them for organisational purposes so that if I stop a game for a while I can see what I was doing. What I wanted to know is are there actually any benefits to using the storyline features when your company doesn't need them? I am sure I read that it has an impact on wrestler momentum, pop gains, match ratings etc. but can't remember for certain and don't seem to be able to find anything on it anymore. If there are any benefits then do they only get added once the storyline is over? or can i remove them from the storyline and still get those benefits (if there are any benefits obviously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody316 Posted April 30, 2017 Author Share Posted April 30, 2017 <p>Just a quick example for what I mean for the second part of the question:</p><p> </p><p> If I am booking Smackdown and I have AJ Styles as my champ and want him to have a long term feud with John Cena (though both will go off on other feuds for parts of the year). So I have Cena and AJ in the storyline and then after the first three months AJ moves onto Randy Orton and Cena goes onto The Miz so I add those two wrestlers to the storyline. Cena then wins the Rumble and so the final months see Cena and AJ go back to feuding. This means that Orton and Miz arent part of the storyline anymore. So if I just remove them from the storyline once they are finished will they still get any benefits from being involved (if there are any) or do I need to end the whole storyline for them to get the benefits?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 <p>I think you'll get bonuses for matches where a hot storyline is involved, so they can improve match ratings.</p><p> </p><p> But I usually play pop>perf companies with a focus on mainstream, so I don't know if this also counts if you have no storyline requirements.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 It's very simple: Just do them. There's no drawback to booking storylines, and a number of benefits of doing them, most notably changes in momentum. If you're not interested in three month storylines, even one month storylines have some benefit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not interested in three month storylines, even one month storylines have some benefit. As I said I would use them even if there were no benefits as it helps me to come back to a game and know what I was planning. My main point is what are the benefits and whether you get them by just removing a worker from a storyline or you only get it from ending the entire storyline.

I had a tag team breakup storyline that went on for over a year and maintained A-A* heat the entire time. I've never seen a storyline lose heat or other benefits from going on too long as long as you keep advancing it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody316 Posted May 2, 2017 Author Share Posted May 2, 2017 If a person is involved in a storyline but is not present on screen or is not rated in an angle, does this still count as one of the four segments that they need to be part of to gain bonuses?

Poputt Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Two opposing members of a storyline need to be involved in a segment together to continue the storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
