I'm into year two. Like others have said, Furasawa is awesome, incredible in the ring and a locker room leader. Funakoshi is strong, and Torii has been a rock. Razan was a step behind early, but by 2021, he's neck and neck with Furasawa for the best score of each show. After putting the belt on Furasawa at Lion's Roar Spirit (shaking hands with Maeda and ending any interpromotional tension), I'm pretty stumped where to go next with the title, as there are so many deserving options. I signed Frankie Perez to a written deal after rising to medium, and within 4-5 months, he's been involved in four of the top five match scores and also eager to put over people, etc. The Cobras are also red hot. BHOTWG is signing everything not nailed down but being able to secure written deals has contained the damage.

Yeah, I play as Maeda.

It's cool. I'm playing as BCG and sent a few rookies to NYCW. When the first new dojo class graduated, I sent a lightweight to ACPW and a brawler to PSW.

So far in 2020, Torii has been better in my save. Good enough to change my plans for him In 2016, he seemed a notch below.

Yeah, I was able to sign SUKI for $800 a show on a written deal. Now I just wish I had done so preemptively with Furasawa because he had been the best guy in the company.

It was going wonderfully until Burning Hammer poached Furasawa and Toshusai during the middle of the Grand Prux, blowing it to bits. Bummer. Now I'm wondering if it makes since to sign some other non-loyal guys to written deals.

Hate the booking screen. Frustrated about products. But I like everything else and am having a lot of fun so far.

Really like the new home page and the rearranged buttons in the office! Still getting some headache vibes around the eyes when using the blue screens, like the office, worker search, etc.

<p>I'm very grateful for this thread and discussion, as this has been weighing heavily on my mind as I dabble with BCG prior to what I hope to be a long-term save. My first take was that the mechanics of the touring schedule, as is, with tons of tour shows that aren't financially viable combined with no extensive breaks in the schedule, seemed like sabotage. That said, I'm reluctant to make choices that feel like "cheat codes," either, making it too easy to make money and grow. I'm still not sure where I stand after reading and considering everyone's points of view, but it certainly won't be leaving the schedule as is. I'm probably going to completely re-do it on my own to resemble the way I played BCG in 2016, with tons of shows per month and the traditional break-period months between tours. I'll run a higher percentage of "normal" shows to counter what feel like unrealistic economic burdens, although I'm not sure if I'll completely abandon "tour" shows, so as not to make it too easy to prosper. For example, the grand prix will probably be all "normal" shows. </p><p> </p><p> I have no qualms with any perspective voiced here. People can and should play to their preferences and priorities. I do think it is possible to bridge the gap with booking choices regardless of which path you take--you can develop talent fine without tour shows; most companies can survive with tons of tour shows, albeit with a stern degree of difficulty, etc.</p>

Maybe! LOL. They do have a lot of guys with orange hair or orange highlights. Once you notice, you won't unsee it.

Funakoshi is my favorite CVerse character and the rock of any save I'm doing. I don't book that heavily around stables, but I do have him head up a gallery of rogues, too. I put Razan at the head of his own stable (generally with the other orange hair guys!), and Torii his own with Blast and Dynamite.

I know this would involve some disruption to the CVerse with him now having a full-time deal elsewhere, but Greg Gauge is a GCG alum and has ownership skills.

What are your plans for the World belt? Last time, it felt like the story was Razan's rise to the title, if you could keep him at the start. This time, he's already had a run. Furasawa has also had it. I love Funakoshi so much, I could easily keep him champ forever, but alas, probably shouldn't. A program with SUKI is probably in store for 2020, but who is next in line for a title run?

I'm a BCG guy, but I'm thinking of trying SAISHO, as I love their roster this time around. I'm interested to hear tips and strategies others employ.
