Will you always get the crowd burnout note after 3 hours, or can it be negated by crowd management?

I did not have to do this when I upgraded to Windows 11. Works perfectly.

I am playing as a Tiny promotion currently with 26 pop in my home region. My show ratings have been mostly in the 50s up to low 60s. My question is: will I gain pop quicker by having shows rated so high or are the pop gains the same as if I was getting ratings in the 40s? EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer in the handbook.

This is incorrect. They have been running TV again for just about a full year.

ROH Has No TV Show Looking to get back into this game. Went to start a game as ROH and it appears their TV show is currently set to Dormant with no broadcasting deals. Also Rok-C should be a Face.

Costs of Taping Multiple If I tape four weeks of TV at once and use the same workers multiple times do they get paid for multiple appearances or just one since it is all the same event?

<p>I just picked this game back up after years away and I noticed a lot of issues using the present day mod. Some you are probably aware of and addressed, but I will mention them anyway. Let me start by saying a huge thank you for keeping the updates coming.</p><p> </p><p> The NJPW roster should be primarily composed of Written contracts with the exception of some guys on the roster who would be very missed from other promotions they might frequent. Particularly top names like Okada, Tanahashi, Naito, Ibushi, Jay White etc should all be written. After a few months in game I noticed all the other companies in Japan booking top NJPW talents for tours which really took away some of the realism components I was hoping for.</p><p> </p><p> All Elite Wrestling should probably get some boosts to increase their importance in the game world and names like Cody & Brandi Rhodes, Adam Page, The Young Bucks & Kenny Omega should have written deals and possibly loyalty. </p><p> </p><p> A number of Ring of Honor stars should be Written also - or I suppose maybe Exclusive PPA would work - guys like The Briscoes, Jay Lethal, Matt Taven.</p><p> </p><p> I imagine the working relationships present between ROH and WWE/NXT is so that WWE/NXT won't sign the ROH wrestlers, but the reality is they would jump all over any names not exclusively signed to ROH. I imagine the balance is tricky because there are some ROH names you want to be able to be present on other rosters.</p><p> </p><p> I would add a hostile relationship between ROH & MLW. </p><p> </p><p> Looking through NJPW roster I would suggest removing Takashi Iizuka (or at least setting him to retired). I also see that the likes of Satoshi Kojima & Hiroyoshi Tenzan get booked as the main event and put on some of the best performances so they maybe should be dropped some as they are currently more sporadic in their appearances and far from the main event.</p>

As Ring of Honor I have to use the "Story Telling" match aim at least once per show. What is the best way to utilize this? Does it add/subtract from certain matches? I'm still not confident using Match Aims and usually just keep it simple and let my roster do their thing. Is there an FAQ/Guide somewhere about match aims besides the in-game stuff?

Another quick question: what is the easiest way to determine the pecking order in a women's division. They don't get card rankings other than just saying women's division so it is not as clear about rankings as the rest of the roster.

<p>Jumping back into the game after a few years away. </p><p> </p><p> Is there advantage to using the in-game storyline feature? I had barely ever used it in the past because I was just running small monthly events, but now I am playing as ROH and have TV so wondering if using it would aid me?</p>

<p>Is there a thread or post somewhere that gives a guide on how to book a show according to "Perfect Show Theory" or whatever they are calling it now?</p><p> </p><p> The way I usually book my events (monthly events as a Small company) is by starting out with a hot match. I follow that up with a few lesser matches then another pretty hot match mid-show. A little more filler then semi-main is second hottest match of the show and obviously main is hottest.</p><p> </p><p> It seems to overall be working, but I just want to know if I am warming and calming the crowd appropriately? I don't get any messages saying the crowd was too hot or too cold...so that might be a good sign right? Or would it not tell me? </p><p> </p><p> The only notes I usually get on crowd is that my opening match always gets the show off to a hot start. And often the second match actually gets the crowd even hotter.</p>

And since you're a small company running presumably one show a month, that's just not going to happen any time soon. <p> </p><p> That said, if the whole point of the team is to develop talent and cover weaknesses, I would say to think of the bigger picture and not worry about it. Also, midcard match ratings don't matter, so who cares?</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> My thoughts on it exactly. The story at hand here is that I have Paul London working as a mentor to a younger high flyer (Flip Gordon). I just plan to keep them teaming a little here and there....nothing that will require them to main event or have blow away matches. Although there matches they have had haven't been bad anyway, working primarily with experienced teams. Eventually Brian Kendrick is coming in (he left WWE) and is going to rekindle his team with London. At first both will be mentors to Gordon with Kendrick eventually turning heel to feud with London. Gordon will play support in that feud. Then I will return to teaming London & Gordon some in hopes that by then Gordon will start improving and getting more over, to eventually turn him on London and get a good push from it.</p>

<p>Is it possible for a team who is found to have poor chemistry to get better?</p><p> </p><p> Also, I am going to be rising from Small to Regional soon. Anything I should know about the transition?</p>

<p>Is there any way to see how much it costs to fly a wrestler in? Alex Shelley is one of my top stars, but he relocated to Japan. Just wondering if he is costing me an arm and a leg to bring in each show?</p><p> </p><p> EDIT: Nevermind, think I found the answer. Looking at my Backstage Rules and while I pay to have transportation organized, I do not pay for the actual transportation. And it appears the cost for organizing it is dependent upon my size (Small), not the location.</p>

<p>Using a present day real world mod as Beyond Wrestling, except I am running them as if they were a brand new promotion that opened in July 2017. Having a lot of fun with it so far.</p><p> </p><p> The backbone of the promotion has thus far been the tag team division, even crowning tag champs before a singles champion. The standard bearers are the Motor City Machine Guns. Originally EYFBO (LAX in TNA) were intended to be the first tag team champions and go on to feud with To Infinity & Beyond (Cheech & Colin Delaney), but on my very first show Mike Draztic of EYFBO suffered an injury and would be out for 6 months. So plans were changed and I made Machine Guns the first champions instead of using them to put over others as originally intended. Far and away the best match in the short history of the company was the MCMG defending their titles against Penta El 0M & Rey Fenis who I signed for a one-off appearance for this match. That match was rated 69 while most of the best matches in the fed are between 42-52. EYFBO are just a month away from returning so I have already had them start getting involved, costing To Infinity & Beyond a match to start that program when they return to the ring. Due to everyone else gaining popularity while they have been out they have a lot of catching up to do. To Infinity & Beyond have been performing real well, including matches against the champions so they are strong candidates to be the next champs, but The Juicy Product of David Starr & JT Dunn just debuted and attacked the champs so we will see how they perform. </p><p> </p><p> I originally signed Joey Janela & Penelope Ford to a 3 month deal basically just to use as filler and put over others, but they quickly became a favorite act to book and I extended their contracts. Ford is not good in the ring right now but she shows promise and I often protect her in matches. Janela & Ford had a shot at the MCMG for the tag titles and are currently in a feud with Candice LeRae who brought in Joey Ryan to protect her.</p><p> </p><p> As you can see women play a huge role in my fed and are integrated. Another fun thing that happened organically is the team of Tracy Williams & Veda Scott. Originally thrown together to fill a spot in my Tag Team Title tournament, I decided to keep them a unit with Veda doing some good work at ringside as Williams' manager and occasional tag matches. I enjoy this act so much I am considering giving Williams the Singles Championship, but he has been a little inconsistent in the ring. He has a title shot this upcoming event that he won't win, but will be a test to see how he handles it.</p><p> </p><p> Which brings me to the fact that Paul London is the inaugural and undefeated Singles Champion. London doubles as my road agent and has performed well in the role. Originally also juggling commitments to LU and WxW, for some reason he left those promotions and I now have him to myself. This has led to me considering to keeping the title on him longer than planned. Jonathan Gresham has risen as a top contender, thanks in large part to his rise in other promotions like CZW and EVOLVE. At this point it is a toss up between Gresham and Williams to take the title. The plan for London is then to transition into a tag team with young upstart Flip Gordon in a mentor/protege relationship. They will have some success, maybe win titles and then Gordon will turn on him.</p><p> </p><p> At my first anniversary show I plan to bring in Yuji Nagata whose contract was not renewed with NJPW, for a special appearance. He will likely work either Tracy Williams or Jonathan Gresham. Both Emma & Charlotte Flair have recently been allowed to have their contracts expire with WWE so I intend to bring both in eventually. Emma is already working with Impact and Charlotte was immediately signed to both Impact and ROH. </p><p> </p><p> My issue right now is I am losing a lot of money. I only started with $100,000 at Small size. I can probably only go on losing money a few more months before I go negative and start facing repercussions. Hopefully due to my pricey, but beneficial broadcasting deal with Youtube I can get my pop up to bring in more revenue while also spending less on talent now that I have my core roster built up and won't rely on "names" as much.</p>
