How do I make someone a proper road agent? I got someone with 100 basics and psychology who does not wrestle, gave him the road agent role, but when he agents a match the match gets damaged. It says he's not good enough but he's 100*. I'm confused.

What's his experience? I believe road agenting is based mainly on experience and psychology this year, with a slight adjustment for reputation.

Experience is either as important as psychology or a close second (not 100% clear on that). Respect is also important to a lesser degree.

If I designate a TV show as a "B Show" will it still impact my company popularity it the same way or will it's effect be lessened. I want to run some stories with my lower card guys, but putting them on my main show drags the ratings down

B-shows don't affect company popularity at all.

I feel so stupid, how do I turn someone?

[awesomenessofme1]

I feel so stupid, how do I turn someone?

 

On the roster screen, where it says "Works babyface/heel/tecnico/rudo", click there. It brings up a screen. Lot of hidden buttons in this game. Thankfully, skins can take care of that.

[franticloser]

Go to the roster screen, in the first box it will say works as babyface or heel. Click on that and it will pop up a new window where you can set turn.

Organic broadcasters?

 

If I wanted a mostly organic game with a very early start date and a mostly empty starting database (1940s or whatever), and I only put in a couple of terrestrial commercial broadcasters, will new broadcasters spawn as time goes by if there are companies growing to support it? Or do I need to add those in myself with the in-game editor?

I've been playing about with some of the different products. I tried a new company with the Wrestling Nerd Nervana product and I can't figure out why the fans "turned" on some of my workers. I understand that that is a feature of the vocal fan base, I just don't know why them. I don't know what they had in common. What attributes should I be looking for here?

 

One of them was even booed by the fans and then cheered by the female fans when she won the match!

It triggers if the worker's stats are low. Which stats depends on the company. Brawling and Hardcore for a deathmatch company, Aerial for a lucha company, etc. Not sure which one it is for WNN though, sorry.

Quick question as I might not be getting it, if a companies schedule is "fixed" will the AI not try to get on tv, if they only have events? Or can you have a company with no TV have a "fixed" schedule, but still later on get a TV show?

 

There is the option for monthly, where the computer arranges monthly events, is that a better option for if you still want the company to go for TV and events?

 

I tried to search and also I can't find a section for this in the

 

Also, with fixed it says the AI won't modify anything, does that include show lengths? As they'll obviously need longer shows as they grow

 

The default data has everything as fixed so I'm guessing they'll still improve lengths to be relative to size, and go after TV, but I want to make sure

 

 

Does anyone know the answer to this? Dont want it getting lost lol

Is there a way to have important emails pop up a reminder letting you know they are there? With the new placement of the email it can be easy to miss certain emails if you forget to look. Having that pop up from previous versions would help a lot.

A question regarding stables.

 

The leader must be a wrestler or a manager could be the one?

 

Example: in C-Verse 2013 The Chase Agency was created by Emma Chase with her three clients Brandon James (first), Rogue (second) and Paul Huntingdon (third). Who would you choose as its boss? Chase or James?

 

The "leader" of a stable is generally (the case you've mentioned being a notable exception) an active wrestler, but that's not a rule. There's a special role for managers who are "just" managers (Support) so that they don't count towards the maximum number of wrestlers you can have in one stable (18). But some stables are definitely lead by the manager.

 

Something like Evolution was obviously Triple H's stable, not Flair's, so Triple H would be the leader. Flair would be support.

 

With the Chase Agency though, that stable doesn't exist without her. She's unquestionably the leader of it. Same with Sneer Corporation in the old USPW. Shane Sneer was the leader, it was literally his stable.

 

You can also have multiple leaders (in the case of an nWo situation).

 

The roles don't really affect much other than the stable's strength rating (which in turn doesn't affect much). So if you want Brandon to be the leader, go for it.

What is the difference between cable commercial and cable subscription?

 

Is cable commerical a pad for service but the basic package and subscription would be the extras like paying for movie and sports channels?

Is cable commerical a pad for service but the basic package and subscription would be the extras like paying for movie and sports channels?

 

That's pretty much it, yeah. I'm not from the US so can't accurately give US examples, but in the UK something like Sky One, UKTV Gold or Dave would be Cable Commercial - they're cable services but come with basic packages, you can't really get cable without getting them and they rely on advertising revenue. So they have a larger potential viewership than subscription services but the show needs to be better to get those viewers because there's also more choice.

 

Sky Sports, BT Sport or Sky Atlantic would be examples of Cable Subscription; the consumer has to pay extra to get them, so potential viewership is smaller but show quality doesn't matter as much for getting viewers.

 

Sky Sports Box Office (is that still a thing?) would be cable PPV, the consumer needs to pay separately for each show they watch.

 

As per the handbook, Subscription broadcasters offer higher revenue per viewer, and actual show quality has less impact on ratings so they're usually willing to accept lower show quality compared to their commercial counterparts. Commercial broadcasters offer more money for longer shows (because longer shows = more ad breaks = more revenue) but tend to expect higher quality as they're competing for views to get that sweet ad revenue.
