YoungNoble Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I really hope that I'm able to explain this... I am playing a real world mod and running a medium sized company. I have one PPV deal, Cablevision and one tv deal on WGN. My PPV buys were doing really well, until I created my own network and started showing my events on it, while also still showing it on Cablevision because they were allowing me to show it on both. My last PPV buys on Cablevision before putting them also on my own network were: 341,879 My PPV buys on Cablevision now, after putting it also on my own network are: 0 Buys (for the past five months) Viewers on WGN before I put my show, also on my own network were: 534,981 Viewers now on WGN, after I put the show also on my network are: 0 viewers I also lost all my PPV revenue, when I started airing them also on my own network. My game is up to date and everything else is working just fine. I was also having this problem before the most recent patch. Has anyone else experienced this? If your network is Free to Air or Commercial and covers the same area as WGN & Cablevision, people are going to definitely watch your PPVs for free on your network rather than pay to watch them on Cablevision. It would be better to only show them on Cablevision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irishwhiskey119 Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I did a search for an answer to this but I didn't see that anyone answered it. Does anyone know? I ask because I have been booking TCW with nine shows a month for three months now and my unimportant workers have not gained momentum at all no matter how many Pre show wins I give them. Most of the guys I am trying to push have had 10-15 wins and no change. Curious of this myself. Just had a worker put on the best match on a PPV with the highest match rating and it still says cooled momentum. EDIT: I've found I think most of the posts talking about it so I want to accept that it just changes over time but it feels like it's a bit too much to swing it back.

bofmar Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Small question lads. Is the "well executed squash" dirt sheet note removed from the game? I have tried to book a Crusher von Steinberg to do some squashes but I don't get that note and it seems that he doesn't get any overness from them, in fact he is loosing pop. I book him in a 4 min match, dominate, decisive win vs an unimportant worker with high selling. My product is Sports Entertainment and Crusher is currently also unkown with a verry good rated Dominant gimmick, has 80 menace, 62 charisma and the Squash Master attribute.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that unknown wrestlers can get that note - I think you need to be known well enough for the crowd to recognise you as someone who can legitimately squash a random.

OK so I tested this. Took over EWA where Crusher is a well known. Had the same set up as in my normal save and indeed got the well executed squash note. So you are right, the worker doing the squash needs to not be an unkown to get the note. However Crusher still lost 2 pop from that match (went from 29 in centtal europe to 27). So it still seems to me thst squash matches don't work or that Crusher, despite having the Squash Master attribite might not be able to benefit from squash matches (maybe he needs more charisma?) Edit: After further testing it seems that in order toget the note the winner needs to be at least well known(the note doesn't appear for recognisable wrestlers). Still no luck making the winner not loose pop though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he beating people with higher popularity than he has? Is he just squashing unknowns? I've had plenty of squash matches that gain popularity. It doesn't always result in pop losses.

He is squashing unknowns, which is what the game demands in order to give you the well executed squash note (just like in 2016 whers you needed to squash enhancement talents to get the note).

Sentinel79 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Small question here guys. I started up my own developmental company playing as WWE. I assigned a booker and workers and everything, currently running weekly events. Will the AI eventually try to get the company (at small) a TV-show or will they just keep running weekly events?

alvarasus Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Question I saw someone say that Classic Sports Entertainment companies won't hire Brawlers? Because if that is true that seriously needs to be fixed. Many Brawlers have worked for WWE and WCW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jtnlange Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Question. I cannot find it anywhere but in 16 you could search from the main page, put in a name and it would find all instances of it. Best way to find an old character. Can you not do that anymore or am I just not looking in the right spot? Trevor L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Kawada Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'd be very grateful if someone could answer these two questions: 1. I'm playing as BHOTWG. I'm not required to have storylines, but will they still have an effect? 2. With which workers should I use Spectacle and Epic? What's the difference? Thanks!

I’m not sure if this is correct, but I’ve always read spectacle as work-rate, in ring ability and epic as psychology based storytelling. I could be wrong though. Thanks. I must admit I read Spectacle/Epic as Spectacle: Workers with good psychology/overness but not necessarily that good in ring skills, Epic: Workers with good psychology/overness AND good in ring skills...

BookerFromOuterSpace Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Hey folks. Got a minor question. Some dorky dude with low buisness skill created a promotion, which I took over about 2years later. But it's still generating high losses on a monthly basis. With a single show per month, it's generating a loss of around 16k total, while only making about a hundred bucks in passive income. Any chance to increase the merch or sponsoring Cash Flow of your developmental area? (I'm only small myself, while still running a positive cash flow of around 50k a month) Thanks in advance!

Derek B Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Specifically, you have to set the road agent note for it when you book the angle then confirm it during the angle itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
