That's great and everything, but the thing is you would get way better ratings if you just used 'regular' for all three matches.

Love it. There's no fun or realism in adjusting sliders or setting one particular setting to medium instead of small to try to get a setting to tick up one notch. This is much more realistic.

This is absolutely correct. They have publically stated over and over that no one is bigger than the brand. They book in a way that reflects that. They don't want anyone getting big enough to hold them hostage.

I literally just book my show from the worst match first to the best match last. The only match aim I ever use is steal the show if I have a high flying match that isnt too long. Everything else is 'normal'. Crowd is always very hot for the main event.

Should be in the handbook.

You see their skills increase.

I was just going off of my experience with dojos in 2020. I had 2 of them running, one that was at the minimum cost and one at the maximum cost. I got 2 workers from the cheap one and 3 from the expensive one, and their skills were similar quality, the main difference was that the cheap dojo workers had zero popularity and the expensive one produced workers with positive popularity (it was like 5 in the dojo’s region or something like that). Maybe I got lucky with my cheap one or maybe I got unlucky with my expensive one, but that’s my experience with them.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, dojos are just my favorite part of the game so I've put a lot of time into understanding them. I'm sure the difference is not a huge one, it's more the type of thing you will notice in the long term rather than an obvious difference from comparing a few workers. The majority of rookies will still be pretty poor regardless of dojo rating, as realistically most rookie wrestlers amount to nothing.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="DrRDuke" data-cite="DrRDuke" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="47568" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>I'm not and wasn't expecting to have great wrestlers right of the gates. I was just curious if the more expensive the Dojo setup, the better 'starting' or base stats you get for a prospect. Like, maybe 1 in 20 prospects is 'special' and you can tell right out the gates he/she has a bit better starting stats. I'm absolutely expecting and prepared to have to build these guys from the ground up still, and nothing is guaranteed...was just curious what the benefit might be spending more money out the gate.<p> </p><p> Great feedback and in-game experience.

The crowd starts to get burned out after 3.5 hours of wrestling. How do you guys deal with booking Wrestlemania or Wrestle Kingdom or any of these shows without tanking it?

Also. It is entirely unrealistic to expect any dojo to produce rookies who are already great wrestlers. That's just not how wrestling works, you need to train for years and years.

<p>You guys seem to be misinformed on dojos.</p><p> </p><p> 1. Higher training rating means higher chance of producing workers with better skills. Has nothing to do with popularity.</p><p> </p><p> 2. Performance centers have more chance of producing wrestlers that used to be standouts in other sports. These are the people who start with extra pop.</p><p> </p><p> 3. Higher facilities rating means it produces more workers. This is totally separate from training rating.</p>

Yeah. You make a tournament called Block A and a tournament called Block B. The two winners just face off after.

We're playing the long game with Donte Dunn. He's a future star I have faith he'll start to show it before long!

As someone from Newfoundland, I cannot believe someone took the time to add us to a mod. Thanks so much!

I actually made a company called All-Star Wrestling and was about to request titles when I saw that someone else beat me to it with the name. We use an Intercontinental title as opposed to North American because we aren't in North America, but even the color scheme is the same. So thanks!

<p>Hey, I don't know how you feel about requests but your work is awesome. Me and my friend are making a brand split game in a company called All-Star Wrestling (ASW). We would absolutely love a logo and banner, maybe styled with an A, W and a star? The company is going to be based in Iceland, we were thinking Blue, Silver, White, Red, I'm not sure.</p><p> </p><p> Would be very appreciated!</p>

Right yeah, makes sense.

Yeah that's the best explanation I've heard so far. I was thinking they just look good. But if they are ahead of their opponent I guess they would look good anyway. So keep strong probably makes them appear comically good to the point it hurts your enjoyment a bit.

In the latest patch it was changed so the penalty doesn't apply to tour shows. I think this makes sense because no tour show match is important so they shouldn't be getting penalties. But for example if that Okada vs. Young Lions match is at Dominion, the fans would probably be a little aggrieved that this is what Okada is doing at a huge show.

Haha I wish my brain would allow me to do this. Every time I saw that picture I would think "that's not actually him." I know how ridiculous that is but oh well.

To answer your first question - worse than it would've been without using "keep strong" Again, I'm not worried about the penalties, I'm simply trying to look at the logic behind it. The issue with your examples is of course that all of them are tainted wins or cheap wins. I cannot think of an example of someone winning clean, where the loser being kept strong has hurt the match quality.

Never thought of it like that. So booking a midcarder to beat a main eventer while keeping the main eventer strong may look more like the main eventer totally dominating and the midcarder just fluking into a win. I was thinking of it like if I don't keep the main eventer strong, he would just get dominated by the midcarder which would make no sense.
