An in game year has passed now and I still get the ranges when I look at my workers' stats. Am I never going to be able to see the exact numbers?

Do you have Pro Mode enabled? If so, it will stop at the second-highest level of Scouting. If not, it just hasn't been long enough.

I'm having a hard time finding it in the manual but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. When booking a show and it says 60/40 matches/angles for TV is it the same as 2016 do I have a 10% leeway can I do 50/50 or 70/30?

Not sure if this has already been addressed, but is there any way to customize or modify your product outside of the existing pre-sets? I'm feeling a little bit limited in the current system, since I can't seem to directly recreate my product from TEW2016. I think an "advanced editor" feature might be appreciated here.

Is there anywhere I can read through tips on trying to win bidding wars when offering exclusive contracts?

 

Am I best to keep increasing the money - or adding other elements?

 

I've found that removing the "Iron Clad" (Previously No-Compete) clause from the contract offers can often tip wrestlers over the edge, as it means they're not "tied down" to working for you if they grow unhappy. I've had few problems with morale, so it's never been incredibly important to me to include an Iron Clad clause. Wrestlers seem VERY eager to sign a contract without one, though, and most AI companies won't even consider removing it. Also adding in things like a bonus for events and upping their cut of merchandise sales can help swing things in your favour, as can changing the length of the contract you're offering.

[Blackman]

How do I give someone a manager?

 

EDIT: Also, which product style is the easiest to work with for a newbie?

 

Click on the yellow text above their picture in the roster screen.

 

CZCW is probably the easiest style to book. CWW is also easy. Just make sure to put long matches (20 min) as the main event and use "slow build".

Classic wild west? What is CZCW?

Just realised that pre-booking isn't just an organisational thing any more and there are penalties for not using pre-booked events on the relevant show. Feature wise I can get that, having a mechanism which commits you to future matches and penalises you for scrapping them after some hype. Is there any alternative for just prepping shows though? in 2016 I'd always pre-book storyline matches soon as possible just to stop me from forgetting, would be helpful to have the option again.

 

Also, on worker popularity caps - are they effected by company size as well as worker potential? Got one guy I'm pushing to the stars but as I'm a tiny company is he going to hit a ceiling? Seems to be stalling at 55 in my region.

How do you fire someone? I've taken over IMPACT and the first thing I want to do is fire Matt Striker

If you pre-book something for TV and don’t use it, then you still get a penalty regardless of your settings</p><p> </p><p> At least, that’s how it used to work when TEW2020 first came out. Maybe that’s been changed by a recent patch?</p>

Is there a setting I can change so that I can use the arrow keys to go down a list? It's a huge pain in the ass to individually click every worker that I want to look at

<p>Very Low PPV Buy Rate</p><p> </p><p>

I Just held Total Mayhem, got a 94 show score, but my PPV buy rates were terrible; 345,000 buys with USA Free Choice. Is this a bug?</p>

Is there an equivalent to a locker room leader in 2020? If so, how do I find that?

(The emphasized part is an assumption on my part since I have one person on my roster who has more respect but she doesn't preside over Wrestler's Court (Saeko Hiroyuki has 92 respect but J.Ro and her 90 respect is the judge).)</p>

Is it just me, or is the AI not using turns at all. Im about 4 years into a RW watcher save and I've yet to notice a single turn. It's lead to a situation where most rosters are drastically imbalanced in favour of babyfaces. Especially in the main event and upper midcard levels. Its also beginning to wreak havoc on AI booking

[iruleall15]

Is there a reason why my singles titles arent being defended on any of my child companies shows? I have them running 4 tapings at once and neither my Main or Minor singles titles are being defended at all. Meanwhile, my tag titles are defended once during the recordings. All 3 have an Often on TV frequency and Often on Events.

 

Just looked and neither singles title has been defended on PPVs either despite often frequency. I copied the TCW company. I assigned champions after the 2nd set of tapings didn't include a singles title match and still not defended. I even changed the AI booking style from Old School Western to basic Singles and Tag to see if that would help and still nothing.
