I wouldn’t say he is a Squash Master. He’s the Comeback Master.

 

Also maybe take away Wrestling in the Blood, that might stop him being positive. I truly don’t believe he has remained all these years because of his love for wrestling, it’s because he failed at acting and wrestling is his best payday.

 

The wrestling in the blood looks like it did the trick, thanks for all the help everyone

<p>Considering putting together a celebrity expansion pack, but worried about how they'll function in the game world.</p><p> </p><p>

Idea is for a few celebrities to debut a year and to be used as personalities for one off occasions, but worried that they'll essentially take over the game world <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

I've seen that the in-game editor has no option to make someone leave the business, nor can you delete workers. Other than setting them to retire the year after they debut, is there any way around this to ensure that these celebs are not used more than a few times?</p><p> </p><p>

Cheers!</p>

Is there anything in Hiring Rules to mimic the old "No Foreign Workers (Except Touring Contracts)"? I'm getting Japanese touring companies making massive Written offers to foreigners and I want to prevent this.

 

Agree 100% with this, you can't play an early/mid 80s game without the Japanese company signing a bunch of American stars permanently. I take it 'No foreign workers' on its own doesn't do the same thing - I tried setting NJPW to no foreigners and leaving AJPW and the obvious happened, one didn't sign either to any sort of deal, the other was grabbing people from all over the world.

Have touring contracts gone altogether? what does the game do now, just sign foreign talents?

 

So quick question, I have a Japanese company in my mod. I have their monthly events set up, but not tour dates. I have set schedule as "created tours" but it is adding a second monthly event too. Anyway to prevent that?

Basically if they're Medium or below, there's no problem because they will only be offered Handshake deals by the AI (although it's normally a year-plus deal, as you can't set the deal to expire after the next tour any more).

 

The major problem is when a company hits Big level and they start offering Written deals. All the classic foreign touring workers (ie. Americans working Japanese tours in between their homeland commitments, like Terry Funk) are soon swept up on massive Exclusive Written deals by the Japanese company.

 

It's really frustrating for someone like myself who plays Japan almost exclusively. The system in TEW2016 of Touring contracts and being able to specify the Touring regulars (eg. Terry Funk to AJPW) worked pretty perfectly so I'm stumped as to why this went away.

Yeah that's annoying, youd think there would still be option for both

[lavelleuk]

On another note, anyone else struggling to decide what personality to give some workers? I have a worker who is nearly full driven, is ruthless and egotistical, but also a party animal, which one to choose?? I don't 100% get why you can only choose one, but there must be a reason, but I'd like to have driven party animals or egotistical class clowns

[steesh07]

This has probably been covered elsewhere on the forum, is there a way to stop companies calling up any decent worker from development within the first couple of months?

Lowering their popularity should do it I'd imagine.

Agree with most of these but I'm finding that if you want accurate ratings and attendances, pretty much everybody needs big boosts from where they were in 2016 data. For example I've been testing AEW and NXT at around 60-65 across all of the US and that's where they draw accurate numbers even though it looks way too high after coming from 2016. Needs more testing to say for sure though CMLL and AAA could do with a boost as well as they pull big crowds.

 

That said, WWE need to be at least 85 across the US to pull the crowds and ratings they get irl which is ridiculous so it might just be better to ignore this entirely

[WrestleManiac]

A question about momentum. I'm basing my stats on real-life results. So, how many wins/losses does it take to move up each rung of the ladder?

[Rawisericho]

Looks good. I'd make a few adjustments. I'd drop Roman down a tier. I'd put Jericho and Moxley up one tier as they have consistently been difference makers in the ratings. I'd also probably drop AJ down. I think this looks good though.

<p>Just something that I realized and wanted to satisfy my curiosity:</p><p>

Aside from 2010 (I think), I never saw a free pictures mod and with how the system works to generate people from it I am always surprised it doesn't gain more attention from the modding community (RW and renders) that go for long game-world time.</p><p>

I think that it would be more work from modders who make RW mods and maybe not as creatively fun for the modders that make re-renders or make original characters from their work. Is that it or are there other factors?</p>

[Texasrangers13]

Doubling up here:

Can anyone clarify the new money system, when I add a contract to a player they have no value. Does the game generate a value based on promotion size? I noticed my smaller promotions were paying guys $25/show.

I didn't get to play around with TEW2016 too much, so I'm a couple generations behind on my understanding of broadcasting. Anyway, here's my possibly dumb question:

 

How does one represent YouTube shows (e.g. AEW Dark)? Do you set up "YouTube" as a Free-to-Air Internet broadcaster, or is there some kind of default "internet distribution" system in the game that you can apply to specific shows?*

 

 

* I seem to recall internet distribution was a thing in 2013, but it was part of the merchandising section (I think) and therefore applied to everything the company did.

I've asked this in the general gameplay thread but going to ask here as well:

Anyone know how to stop bookers being replaced within a week on a mod? Tried a few things but doesn't seem to be working.

What have you tried so far? Do your companies have a separate owner and booker? Does the booker have a high rating?

Just something that I realized and wanted to satisfy my curiosity:

Aside from 2010 (I think), I never saw a free pictures mod and with how the system works to generate people from it I am always surprised it doesn't gain more attention from the modding community (RW and renders) that go for long game-world time.

I think that it would be more work from modders who make RW mods and maybe not as creatively fun for the modders that make re-renders or make original characters from their work. Is that it or are there other factors?

 

There was a free pic mod released for RW mods for 2016. I want to say it was Derek_B who did it?

 

Doubling up here:

Yes, they get assigned an amount based on their popularity. Not the company size, but their own individually popularity.

YouTube would be Internet Free-to-Air indeed. if something was on a premium content YouTube channel, then it could/would be Internet Subscription. So you could very reasonably have two entries for YouTube, set up with just that difference.

I haven't been seeing that, except where owners are also bookers.

[steesh07]

Have tried setting power structure to mandatory, same booker as owner as per real life, set minimum booking skill to 50 unless already higher (mentioned in the hand book) but to no avail. Don't know if it is something that is glaringly obvious or not. Within a week a lot are replaced.

[Texasrangers13]

As BigPapa mentioned, I'm also only seeing this with Owner set as booker also.

You absolutely can do this. The Written contract can even be Iron Clad. But you have to make it non-Exclusive. they can then have another of any type with another company, so long as that one isn't exclusive.

 

You can't quite replicate the Moxley situation. Based on what was reported, his is an exclusive deal, but in the US only which is why he's still allowed to do New Japan.

 

This does not work. If offered an exclusive gig he will still take it.
