General Gameplay Questions Thread

You can assign them to development on the complete contract screen (but that means not using the ‘Complete all signings’ button and actually going into the contract offer screen).

 

Makes sense, as I was playing as TCW and they have a deal with MAW. I will try playing a game where say I am WWE and have NXT as a child company.

Do we have a confirmation on release date yet?

Do we have a confirmation on release date yet?

 

There was an update today. TL;DR: Thursday (the 14th) is still the most likely release date, but Adam can't confirm until he gets access to the new graphics so he can know how long it will take to get things put together.

Well screw me I guess.

 

I'm playing the 83 mod and trying to take over the world with WWF. I was a little lite on cash, so I started running a weekly spot show in my home base. I was making like 800k off that show. I planned on buying 2 networks, one commercial and one ppv. I knew that would give me a serious advantage of the other companies I'm battling now.

 

I installed the newest update and I guess attendance was nerfed. I went from attracting 44k to my show to 16k.

 

Bro that hurts so bad. My once money cow now only netted me 125k. There goes all my plans. It'll take me a bit longer to get where I want but I'll get there.

When I use autobooker it books a ton of segments for the pre show. Is there a way for this not to happen?

Has anyone had any luck talking a worker into becoming an Announcer? Can pretty easily convince anyone with good mic skills to become a Colour Commentator but nobody seems to want to become an Announcer, saying they don't think they're suited to it. Anybody have an idea of what traits/skills might lead someone to being talked into that role?

I don’t think people not rated can gain? Try rating Chord on ent too.

Does making a match based on eye candy limit skill growth of the workers involved?

[Ben5]

How does one get their child company to hire their own workers? I would like them to fill out their roster, but they aren't doing anything of the sort. They have an owner and a booker, too.

[D-Lyrium]

If they're your child company, you're responsible for hiring all their workers. You own them, so they can't hire anyone by themselves.

<p>How do you book house shows? I clicked the button on the main screen, some of my days were yellow (those are the days I have events/tv, so I'm assuming yellow means I can't have a house show on those days). I put in the loop I want for for my shows. And I have over 20 wrestlers on duty. </p><p> </p><p>

Is that it? I have 3 days that are in grey. Will those days automatically get a house show from the loop I set up?</p>

So if there not rated, they're basically just standing in the background?

[JudasCradle]

Everytime I try to use autobooker it never includes anything to further any storylines...ever. Anyone else having that issue?

[TranquiloCabron]

Is there a way to export my roster with their stats to a CSV file?

Not an issue as such, it's intended behavior. Since the autobooker doesn't know the purpose of your storylines, it doesn't try to advance them.
