Im using a laptop and want to scroll down the roster page list using the arrow keys? Is this not an option anymore as i was able to do this in 2016?

Not all lists are affected by this, but go into settings and disable "use new style lists".

I started my own promotion then signed some workers and changed their names and gimmicks. I booked my first show and despite the fact my names were all right on the roster page, the show results showed everyone's original names. Anyone else have this happen?

Is there a way to view my roster in a grid view with their role? I used the overview in the previous game to make sure I had enough referees, announcers, agents etc. (without scrolling through every worker) and can't find a way to do this.

Yes there is- don't have the game in front of me to check but I did find it when I was playing around this morning.

Are the match lengths for being overused the same across every game area and product? I've only played in Japan with BCG so far and for example, Unimportant perception is capped at 15 minutes show time (including non-wrestling time).

Something I stumbled on today was while playing as SWF I went to the workers and started talking to randoms. I was able to convince many to change styles or weights despite not being on my roster.

 

Which I understand to an extent. It's not out of the question to request someone bulk up so you can use them.

 

Then I talked to Aaron Alexander because he was top of the list. He's the TCW World Champion.

 

I was able to talk him into becoming a manager, personality, color commentator, and a road agent.

 

Then I was able to talk him into changing his style. And then his size.

 

As the champion of my rival promotion I don't think I should be able to talk him into these changes. I'd like to ideally see style, weight, and role changes limited only to contracted performers.

 

I mentioned this in a bug thread earlier that Adam was able to clear up, but I'm wondering if this is a "working as intended" feature or if this is an oversight.

 

What's to stop me from going to my competition's roster and sabotaging as many as I can with style changes that won't be in the best interest? (I wouldn't actually do that, but it can be used as a pretty easy exploit, which means someone somewhere will.)

 

Surely this has to be a bug ..I can understand talking to workers that are free agents but risk companies is a bit silly.

 

It is like if in football manager as man utd manager you could just speak to mo Salah and tell him to stop cutting in from the flanks..its like cheating

Great, thanks! If you remember then please let me know.

Yeah, talk to worker isn't currently working properly - I believe Adam's changing it soon.

Is anybody else having issues playing a converted save from 2016?

Keep getting an error message citing issues converting employment histories.

[Ade_yy]

In PGHW why do you have to have the "steal the show" match aim, when the main matches are over 20 minutes.

[1PWfan]

Great, thanks! If you remember then please let me know.

 

Found it- on the roster page click on the button marked contracts (it's right at the bottom next to the main search button) and it should take you to the grid view. It doesn't have specific roles on their, just things like perception and momentum and so on, but if you click on a specific worker from there it takes you to their profile page and there's a space under their employment box info that tells you what they can do. As for if you've got enough of any given role, as far as I can tell it will tell you that on the main office screen.

May have been asked a thousand times but is there a reason why this game doesn't use real dates instead of week 1, week 2, etc... This outdated date format hinders the realism.

<p>I have two questions related to coloured lists</p><p> </p><p>

1. Can you choose what workers appear as colours somehow, or is it set to Champions Yellow, injured Red. For example, could I have Heels Red, Faces Yellow?</p><p> </p><p>

2. Is there a way to keep the coloured lists, as I really like this feature, and also be able to use the scroll wheel on the mouse/keyboard? </p><p> </p><p>

Thanks</p>

Road agents - all of my road agents are terrible.

 

Really enjoying playing this so far! There’s so much to get my head around but I’m so excited.

 

Only managed two shows with a real life 2016 database that’s been converted to 2020 and I’ve done little work on it. The biggest issue I’m having is that all of my road agents are terrible and I’m constantly getting messages that the work they did on the match/angle was not good. This includes some road agents who have 75+ in psychology/basics/respect/experience.

 

Is there something I’m missing?

How are they compared to the workers they are working with? If they are much worse because your in ring performers are so good, you'd be better using call in ring. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Can someone point me in the right direction to a mod thread with Logos and banners for a brand new fed that I want to start from the ground up? Not seeing one in the 2020 section , should I look at 2016?

How do i offer a developmental contract to a worker?

 

Thought maybe it cant be done when i was WWE, but when i played an ROH game they offered several developmental contracts to my guys

Sorry if it's been mentioned elsewhere but there's a lot of posts to read through. Can anyone tell me if there's still a way to change the match ratings to grades instead of numbers? I'm fine with everything else, I just like seeing grades for match ratings. I've had a quick look without any luck.

I believe that grades are no more. I'm sure I've seen an answer to this that says grades are no longer in the game, just numbers

Seems like perception of wrestlers fluctuates so much up and down and it kind doesn't make sense. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I'm playing SWF and making sure guys like Remo & Scythe dont lose as much but they drop from major stars to recognisible? Remo dropped after losing one match to nicky champion and hes won like 4 in a row before that.

WWE have been building people up to be massive stars for years, before knocking them down to nobodies by losing in 20 seconds to Brock Lesnar.

 

So it makes sense. :-D
