shipshirt Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Apologies if this has been addressed elsewhere. I tried to search every iteration of the subject line and kept getting told it was "too common" each times. I've been getting the "Lack of Big Names" for my TCW game. I got this message twice. Does it affect prestige or anything tangible? Also what is considered "a big name"? Is it overness or a hidden quality? I have Cornell at A but the next highest is Wolf at B I believe. There's not much to work with here considering I've got the restriction of only being able to hire people with at least B- in both Athleticism AND Basics!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovestruck420 Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Yeah I got this in a WWE game I played, kinda blew me away. as I had about 15 to 20 M.E. (Combining all brands) at the time. Maybe age factors into this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildcat Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I believe its based on overness and momentum... though how you get that problem with a WWE game I have no idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest The Aussie Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I'm not entirely sure but it might be the Star Quality rating that affects this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironmike Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I've only ever had this problem with TCW after they rise to International, I still had the default roster Cornel the only guy with an popularity of A some others had B+ like RDJ and BLZ Bubb. So at a guess maybe you need more A/B+ overness workers but im not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek B Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 It's purely based on overness. You simply don't have enough people who are over enough to be considered "stars" for your promotion. I'm guessing that you have TCW's popularity at around a B-/B level so you should ideally have a couple of people (not sure of exact number) higher than that for them to be true stars. As for the penalties, I think you take a little knock in popularity although I'm not entirely certain. You'd have to keep an eye on your popularity and prestige in the editor to be absolutely certain. And on your show grades too... not sure if that takes a hit.

shipshirt Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 Ok cool, so it is in relation to your company overness. I didn't know if it was a static stat and a star was considered an "A" overness wrestler. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanendp Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 best way i got around this was, i looked at workers i wanted with the right popularity, and then got a working agreement going between the companies, yes it's only a short term cover, but it's better than trying to hire no namers with the right stats and building them right the way upto the "Big Name" level. Although SWF is probably where they're mostly at tbh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
