The Rock

This is weird, because if you have created one, it should be there. Then you need to negotiate a broadcasting deal with your network and that´s it. So, the way would be: Office -> Broadcasting -> View All Broadcasters -> select "your Network" -> Negotiate -> New Deal for ... "your TV show"

Total Mayhem is in May

Looks like Adam has worked on it for patch 1.02. Really excited for this, as this was my main problem with the Beta.

Fair enough. You´ll still get penalties, if you´re using two jobbers for 20 minutes. And now that I´m reading the OP again, I think with perfect show he really does mean "perfect".

But you can turn off more things, down to the point, where the only requirements would be to have altleast three different segments on the show and to advance one storyline per show (if your product has storylines). To be clear, I´m not against a "Freestyle-Product". Actually, I would like to see it, because it would make a lot of people happy. But reading the OP and what he wants to achieve, you can do this already by turning off the preferences. Or maybe I´m just misunderstanding something??

I think this was mostly requested because of the new "Talk to Worker"-feature. Before this, for example you could talk a Japanese worker to work in the United States, sign him to a cheap non-exclusive deal, so he would still work (and live) in Japan, but work for your US company too without covered travel costs. So I think it was a good request. But I do see where you coming from. Maybe the best option would be, that only workers from different countries request this and like you said, some workers based on their personality.

Yeah, I forgot that point. Malice in Wonderland (TCW´s first PPV) gets 50k in attendance. Seems too high for me. If it was Total Mayhem (Season Finale, Legendary), okay, but not the other PPVs. I´m pretty sure, Adam will work on this. (hopefully) But this is more complex I think, because it´s not just changing one number. So it will take some time. I´m completely on your side here. RoH´s last PPV had under 800 buys. Before that 3.000-4.000. Same for bigger companys. WWE had 1.2 million for Cena vs. The Rock, the biggest match in 10 years. The other PPVs, not named Wrestlemania, usually had between 200k-500k buys. TCW and SWF sell over 2 million regurlarly. As I said, the numbers need to be reduced drastically, by 80-90%. Like 2016, which was much more realistic.

THANK YOU so much for this. I didn´t know it´s that easy.

I´ll buy, no question. Once Adam tweaks finances, and I´m sure he will, there´s is no chance I would play 2016 again.

You can turn on Mandatory Pre-Booking, that´s kind of a build up for PPV´s, but I don´t know how big the effect is. But the PPV buys in general are way too high, be it on self-owned broadcasters or regular broadcasters. Like way too high. Selling 2-2,5 million PPVs with TCW at size 72 is ridiculous. 40-50k with CZCW is also too much. They need to be reduced by 80-90%. (subscription seems also too high, but I haven´t test this enough) 2016 was much better in this. I hope Adam tweaks 2020 closer to 2016. But I´m pretty sure he will give this a look once the retail drops.

I like the one from Dross, but this one here would be awesome.

I agree that injuries were way to low in prior games. So this version does a better job in that regard and I love it.
