lr10540 Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 I am running a large company and capped out at 75, which doesn’t make any sense at all I've gotten Aaron Knight to 87 in my home region. But I didn't check progress to see where he was before. Everyone else is still between 70 and 75 at the top of my card. I'm also on a large ppv broadcaster now.

Adam has said he'll look into it but that might not lead to anything. If its any consolation my company has Very Big coverage with a Large company in the US and my UC is still capped at 70. That's taken her off the list of stars as my company has 90 pop in the US. It also means that it's difficult to justify booking her to get in main events.</p><p> </p><p> My newest outlier is Electric Dreamer, who seems to have a cap of 85. Unfortunately I think relatively low brawling, technical and pysch hold her performance level down so my best bet is still Fuyuko's godlike powers of everything. It's ridiculous that she's capped at 82 when she has 96 star power, 81 charisma and fantastic in-ring skills.</p><p> </p><p> I think the game has been trying to limit the number of god-like popularity workers this iteration.

Bad Collin Posted June 11, 2020 Author Share Posted June 11, 2020 Destiny must be massively important in this game. I'm up to December 2021 in my game and three new mega stars have been created; Joss Thompson, Steven Parker and Randy Bumfhole - none of these workers have incredible stats.

TheEffect Posted June 11, 2020 Share Posted June 11, 2020 Any idea on how to run this challenge given the new pop caps :S After some quick testing, you don't get dinged by having 2 workers, 1 match between them and then 2 angles involving them so maybe save some money do that once a month. 4 workers max, 3 signees and 1 avatar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lr10540 Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Just looked at the creative section and saw that I'm marked as a Next Big Thing. So my lack of popularity growth is slightly puzzling, especially with the PPV being a large. I'll see if things change with TV. Currently running a B Show and that does nothing. Can't cancel it without paying over 4 mil, so I'm in do nothing mode now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigINMoldova Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 it took me three in-game months from my first 72 until I could break a 75 and when I finally did that, I rolled a 44 and now I'm a comedy wrestler. I didn't even get a 75 for the event because the opening match was a 55 and I got a 68 for the show. It had to go wrong at some point. Also, 5SSW is going out of business in my save. They're thirty grand in debt, I keep trying to buy them since I have 60 grand in the bank but they won't sell up. Jippenisha is a free agent but she wants 1,400 and all the women I've signed from 5SSW so far haven't done great in my company for some reason.

Rainmaker Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 Love Wrestling Explosion! Masaaki Ichikawa - Year One Conclusion Slowly crawling out of the first year pit, we should be at least a tiny company by this time next year as we've finally started to turn a profit under this brutal sponsorship drought. Got absolutely robbed twice from getting my first achievement but hey ho it's the end of the year now so it's time to roll! 11. “LEGEN… wait for it… DARY!” Gain a Best Friend relationship with someone on your roster whose picture is of them wearing a suit. If no-one on your roster is wearing a suit, you must hire someone who wears a suit and become their Best Friend anyway then add the Drinker attribute. Well, there is only one man on the roster with a suit, so I guess me and the boss are now drinking buddies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigINMoldova Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Move over Yuma and Kazue, there is a new first couple of Puroresu. I realized in January that at small I could start signing people to exclusive contracts so I signed Sterling Whitlock and he's been absolutely killing it for me. I regret only signing him to a three-year contract at this point because he is the franchise to me. I can't believe USPW let him go and that no one else in Japan signed him. What a mistake. Fuyuko Higa is also absolutely killing it and she's a bit of a cheat code. She walked out of 5SSW and no other puro company has a Joshi division so I'm able to keep her on my roster for incredibly cheap for how good she is. I'm taking a bit of a risk with her reputation for being a troublemaker but she hasn't really caused any problems so far. Also, The Dark Eagle Trophy title thing is so dumb. I know how to fix it but it makes me laugh every time I see it. I didn't just come to hear to wax poetic about Sterling Whitlock and Higa however. It took me forever to do that but I finally did it and...I rolled a 20. Straight edge isn't bad I'm definitely happy that I won't become an addict in the future but it's also not the most helpful roll possible.

BigINMoldova Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Quick rules clarification, Am I allowed to do this? Because I really want to. They have some of the best wrestlers in Japan with loyalty to them. This would cement my company as a legitimate threat in the country. Yeah, They're losing seven or eight grand a month but I'm making 53,000 grand a month off of sponsorships alone due to the economy and wrestling industry. I know we can't start pacts with other companies but can we buy them out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would recommend shutting them down so you can leech their popularity for your own and then sign their unemployed workers. If you need a dev fed, that's a good route as well. Always take their events too, as they're likely to be a higher importance than yours, or closer to upgrading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigINMoldova Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I keep them open because I think the C-Verse needs at least 1 Joshi fed. I, unfortunately, had to fire Ogiwara because she had a really low business skill so I replaced her with Buddy Garner and now they've got 40 grand in the bank as of June. I also signed Black Diamond, Allie Perks, and Kate Lilly. Kate Lilly has been absolutely tearing it up down there so I'm going to sign Debbie Rose to join her. I also sent Yayoi Kurmochi, Spider Isako, Rina Kasahara, and Kaori Takenouchi down to help them out. The really weird thing about 5SSW is that they don't have a dojo. It seems weird for a Joshi fed to not have a dojo to me. Obviously they went bankrupt so they didn't have a lot of money to start with but they've been in business since 1985. Usually a Japanese Wrestling company in business that long would have a dojo. Even FMW had a dojo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
