Two questions about managers and referees

JkeatsPosted on 06/13/04 at 20:19:03

Hi Oliver,

Loving the new release!!  I had two unrelated questions...

1) Does adding a manager affect a wrestler's heat at all?  If you had a wrestler weak in charisma, would adding a "mouthpiece" bump him up at all.  Obviously, you could do this manually but just changing his charisma, but I was wondering if it was built into the game.

2) Is there any way to change or delay how quickly a replacement ref enters the ring after a ref bump.  In most matches, the replacement is "johnny on the spot" and there within a move or two, which kind of defeats the ref bump purpose in the first place.  I know you can turn the replacements off, but having the second ref come in at some point does add for some nice controversial finishes.

Just curious!

All the best,
John

You get replacements that quick? Usually for me there's been like 2-3 pin attempts before another ref comes down.

Thank you very much for the kind words, John.

1) Adding a manager always affects a wrestler's heat, although it isn't always in a positive way. Some combinations just don't mix.

2) So far, this can't be configured but I'll add a switch down the line. If you need it urgently, please let me know and I'll get it in there for you.

Well urgent would be a little dramatic.  I'd love to have it, but I can wait until you get around to it :)

Any way to tell how managers and wrestlers might co-exist?  Or is it random?

Also...what does the designation of Head Referee do for a ref?  It doesn't make him automatically ref title matches or anything it seems.  

Thanks Oliver.  I've been with TNM since "back in the day!"
