General Gameplay Questions Thread

This was probably addressed but will a saved game from the trial transition to the final release on May 14th?

 

Yes sir!

[Eisen-verse]

Yes sir!

 

Great!

 

I read the beta gives you 2 months of game time and I wanted to get my dynasty rolling (but don’t want to lose everything upon release).

 

Thank you!

[TOTKingNothing]

No problem. And when new patches come out, you can replace the old version of your game with the new patch and still keep playing the same saves. So don't worry about that either.

How do you handle face/turns in this game? I tried doing it like in the last game where it gives you the option while running a show, but no such option showed up when I did.

[CashBowels]

Do I have to download the new patch every single time? How is this not a feature installed within the game?

Go to the roster section, chose your worker, where it shows "works heel/face", click on that. On the pop up click on prepare to turn. Now it shows "works heel/face but preparing to turn".

 

Finally to complete the turn just book them accordingly.

Also please note that if you're turning them in an angle not a match you need to use the road agent note to turn them, which I hadn't realised!

What kind of finishes are being referred to when a product says fans will be put off by cheap endings to matches?

I am on my 1st day with USPW and would like to send some workers to a development facility for them to, well, develop lol. Now I figured I could make a deal with another company for them to accept developmental workers but I always get blocked by the owner as he does not want to be associated with other companies. Is there any way I can convince him to change his mind about that, or is the only way to send my workers to development to do that via Investments by creating my own company and use it development facility?

How does angle length affect rating? with 5 minute angles I'm struggling to get above 85. Although I have seen an 86/87

After recent patch Error 3077

How does angle length affect rating? with 5 minute angles I'm struggling to get above 85. Although I have seen an 86/87

 

It depends on what you're rating the angle as. For example, if you rate the people in it on Overness, you can no longer get away with 5+ minute angles, as they're basically just standing there doing nothing. You need people in the segment rated on Entertainment or similar.

I still fail to understand why other companies can propose exclusive contracts to my workers currently on an exclusive contract, and I am unable to bid against them?

[stonecold285]

I still fail to understand why other companies can propose exclusive contracts to my workers currently on an exclusive contract, and I am unable to bid against them?

 

Maybe that worker does not have iron clad in their contract?

[cwamaniac]

Minor question

 

What is the point of iron clad contracts at all?

Under what circumstances would I ever not sign a written contract with this on?

Just seems like an unnecessary addition

Filtering the Workers

 

Not sure If this was brought up, in the database editor when I was starting a new fed I loved the idea of being able to search for unemployed Canadian workers and add them to my new fed. However when I filtered on retired workers to build my backstage I couldn’t exclude the dead. Am I doing it wrong?

Some of ROH´s and Impact contracts. They are written contracts but some wrestlers can fight in others feds.
