Yep, I've checked the preferences, and nothing changed. I don't really want to have to look through histories for every match I book, so maybe this save is just shot. Thanks for your reply.

Suddenly, in my save, I am no longer getting repetitive booking warnings when I create matches that clearly fall within the criteria. Does anyone know why this would have happened, or how I can fix it?

In fact, that it's what originally prompted me to ask this question. I'm not seeing the purpose of having the TV show, and it seems like a lot of you agree, though the point about worker popularity changes is worth noting.</p>

For me, it almost feels more like a fix than a hack, because I've never understood why a TV show would draw less fans. if anything, I'd think more fans would go to show that was going to be on TV. I get that a lot of wrestling companies have done their TV shows in arenas that are essentially TV studios with some bleachers. but my assumption is that is because they know they can't book and fill a place like Allstate, or MSG, or Staples every week. However, if I can draw 7,000-8,000 with weekly events in my GCG save, then I don't see why I'd use a smaller arena.

I've never used Spectacle, but when I get a bonus from Epic, it's because the workers have high enough psychology to pull it off (B-, maybe B or more). I reserve it for matches between two top, highly skilled performers.

If you create your own broadcaster as a promotion, can you make it bigger later, or would you have to create a new, bigger one?

The creator was working on it for 2016, but i believe RL issues have held him up.

Yeah, I didn't double check, but that's what i remembered. I've also seen Lars Brecher do it. They are both tough, so with Gargantuan, that would seem to be the common thread. I've played with Nigel in TEW since 2010, and I've never seen him complain about a booking, or pay, or anything, or have a negative incident of any kind, so it was funny to see him scare somebody into jobbing.

Wow. That's unfortunate, but it's interesting how two saves can be so different. So far, my only age declining workers are Jimmy Cox and Merle O'Curle. O'Curle is a jobber who is there to help the young guys, so he is not a problem, but I'm going to have to start moving Cox down the card. Hyobanshi is head and shoulders above everyone else, even Gakusha.

GCG is not a touring company in 2016. I have televised weekly events and a TV show, but the TV show only draws half the gate, so I'm wondering what the point of it is over televised events.

Golden Canvas Grappling, May 2016 World Heavyweight - Toshiharu Hyobanashi World Openweight - Kill Switch (Frankie Perez) World Heavyweight Tag - Black Iron Corps (Fujio Narahashi and Azumamaro Kita) Frankie is headed hard an fast toward the main event scene, and I think I'm going to have to open up the top title to non-heavyweights.

Trying one more time...anyone know the answer to this?

What is the benefit of having a TV Show over just televising your events? I'm running Golden Canvas right now, and I have a PPV contract with a PPV broadcaster, then a televised event contract and a TV show contract with the same Commercial broadcaster. The TV Show draws half the gate, hardly breaks even on money, and has limits on time. The events make me as much ticket money as a PPV, and are still televised, so why would I want to have TV Show instead of or in addition to weekly televised events?

I usually play smaller performance feds, so my first projects will be Nigel Svensson, Merle O'Curle, etc. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

This is awesome. I need this game.

After the first 4 matches, it was shaping up to be a show for the edges. The last 3 were progressively worse, ending in the toilet.
