<p>If anyone can help I am in need of a promotion logo. Great Canadian Pro Wrestling. It should be similar in concept to the AJPW logo with a globe highligting the country of Canada. With Great Canadian on the top and Pro Wrestling on the bottom. You could toy with a maple leaf in the middle of the country as well. Whatever works best. Colors should be red and white! </p><p> </p><p> Thanks to anyone who can help me on this, I have a promotion brewing that I'm going to spend a long time with. It's set after Montreal 97 and instead of going to WCW Bret pulls out of that deal and joins together with some Canadian promoters of the past to create a Canadian super fed.</p>

WOW the new screenshots Adam posted look really fantastic! That's the game boys!

People are saying that the product issue is pushing you out? Are you still modding for 2020? (Fingers crossed)

After 10 patches and certain customizations (the gold and blue skin and the drop box/color choise) I am pleased with the game. However, after reading Adams update I am certain to be more than pleased with the final product. Really curious to see a different UI but I am learning to make use of the new features. Think back to the jump from EWD to EWR... or maybe the better compaison is EWR to TEW. That was a totally different game in many ways right? I remember being stalled greatly when first playing TEW. Lot's to learn. Hell remember what it was like to figure out match aims? I'm still working on that (especially now) LOL. To those who want to debat "the right way" to play in regard to Real World vs Cornelleverse.... I say this. The Cornelleverse is obviously an amazing addition to the game that made it legit for sale. But when I started this game, it was to book real word stories, because there was no Cornelleverse. I've always seen Adam's games as a way to play out my wrestling fantasies, and for me those are about the real world. I appreciate the work and detail of the Cornelleverse but the learning curve is what kills me. Give me any time in the last 40 years and I will know what top stars are working where and who the free market might have to offer for some changing of history. But I don't know the legend of the Cornelleverse. It's a big bite to take and I've always prefered to real world. After putting up a real world mod I can say I am starting to understand TEW 2020, and enjoying it.

I could understand if the product settings are not negotiable due to programming or whatever... if that is the case then I'm sure I can find a way to do what I want anyway. Already since changing to the drop boxes and taking away colors and the subsequent updates I am at peace with the look of the game. I am using the black and gold skin though. It took a real word mod for me to fully grasp the game so far, as it always does. I've never been knowledgeable on the Cornelleverse or had a game that went very long with it. So far the game feels slower but that is likely due to not being a pro at this version yet. Very excited and ready to let loose.

If I am playing with pre booking penalties how can I pre book a match or segment for a TV show when I tape multiple episodes in advance? Do I need to only worry about pre booking matches for the first episode?

Your screens are perfect! I really hope Adam works it out with you to use your work man.

YES

Yes please! Very frustrating to to have this option.

The product selection options are a mess. How can I be expected to click through every single option. It's a mess for that alone but then take into account these production descriptions and names... wtf is this?

BTW I saw the question on the forum "how do you fire someone" and so I decdied to try and figure it out myself. It took at least 20 minutes to figure it out. Now that I know I don't mind where it is but my point is that the "arrows over" option is not something I care for.

I've been going through the demo for the past few days... such an exciting time. I've been with this game since Extreme Warefare Deluxe! What a long journey. Every release has taken me an adjustment period, physically and mentally. It's just getting used to the new screen is all. Already I see some benefits. The big issue is that it does at first seem to be less intuitive or user friendly that I anticipated. Not being about to use my arrow keys to scroll through the long lists of workers is truly brutal. Especially considering that I play real world mods so the Cornell Verse wrestlers really mean nothing to me. I don't know how I'd ever get around to looking at all the free agents out there, much less really understand my own roster. I really wish this update evolved the technologoy but it does seem more of the same. So much clicking! I can't really understand the game until I have a real world mod to play with. I need that level of familarity to explore what the games offers. I will say that 2016 does look much easier on the eyes. I opened it up to compare and it's honestly much easier on the eyes. To the makers of the game I appreciate all your work but it will take some revamping for us to really enjoy all the intricatcies you developed for the game!

I read that WWF payed off his college over 40 grand. There is no way he is going to back out of any deal with them! Christian was about a year behind Edge went it comes to WWE. Edge started working there unofficially in 96 and being such a WWF mark you know he's not leaving!

I feel you! Im also considering Great Canadian Pro Wrestling. GCPW looks better than NSPW. I think I'll use the "Stampeade Revival" or a derivitive name for maybe my annual super show. When I saw the footage of International Wrestling in the 80's with Dino Bravo on Darkside of the Ring it really opened my mind to Montreal as a great wrestling town when they have something to belive in. So I think my company will be based in Montreal. Which I'll use to kayfabe for myself a pre-existing French TV deal to suppelment my large wage bill and also a solid German TV deal because Bret is super over in Germany right? I'll use that money directly to supplement Bret as if it was a condition in his terms with the company. I'm also excited about taping multiple shows in one night and the inbeded tournament tracker. I'm going to start off my company with the chase for Canadian Heavyweight Championship in a league tournament around a month long like G-1 with probably around a dozen guy or so guys. I'll arrange a solid but not spectacular National TV contract in a good time for a one hour time slot and tape 3 episodes at a time. As the tournament is ended I'll begin a new squash match series promoting the weekly showcase GCPW WrestleZone, which will be a truly jam packed one hour of progaming each week building to a traditional 4 to 5 PPV's a year. The goal will be to present a no frills pro wrestling that takes itself seriously and is touted amongst the Canadian press in the sports pages. Sure there are angles on every show and interviews to promote matches, but the matches are the end all be all.

Really looking forward to the Montreal Aftermath mod. I'm planning on creating an alternate universe where after the screwjob Bret pulls out of the WCW deal and is a leader in creating New Stampede Pro Wrestling. Bret along with other Canadian promoters band together and announce on Off The Record along with Owen (who demanded to be let go), Davey Boy, Neidhart, Rick Rude, Mick Foley & Crush. I've been pre-developing my roster as well. I'm going to have a working agreementset up with AJPW and bring in a lot of their gaijin talent to round out my card for heels. NEW STAMPEDE PRO WRESTLING Bret Hart Owen Hart Jacques Rougeau Davey Boy Smith Pierre Carl Oulette Jim Neidhart Mick Foley (Cactus Jack) Brian Adams (Crush) Raymond Rougeau (Commentator) Rick Rude (Manager) Lance Storm Vampiro Andrew Martin John Tenta Christain Cage Rick Bogner Rick Martel Barry Windham Leo Burke (Road Agent) Johnny Ace (AJPW) Gary Albright (AJPW) Sean Morely (AJPW) Johnny Smith (AJPW) Bobby Duncam Junior (AJPW)

I'm most excited for executing proper TV tapings so I can more accurately simulate a proper calendar. I'll probably star an original MLW story from back in 2003 or 4 whenever it was and build them up better than ROH into a proper WWE alternative. I think starting small with limited TV exposure like they had but with a few notable stars and distinctive talents (Corino, Punk, Kojima, Raven, Steve Williams, Lynn, Amazing Red etc...) will allow me room to develop a few of my favorites from the time that took a bit to long to "make it" in reality and take advantage of the games new features as my promotion grows.

I am so ready for the new game. All of the updates are intriguing to me. Some come off a little Ryland but I guess that's the point! I love it. Can't wait.

I book usually around two "big events" each year, with PPV's in between. My champion in a year will at best defend his title 7 times. I do full time schedule where I run an A TV show at an hour and a half and B hour long TV show for 6 months and then I do two league tournaments, a tag league and heavyweight singles. Like NJPW I use my champions in the tournament with the winner winning prize money and a shot at the champion at the big season closing PPV. I usually have around a dozen storylines playing as I like the bonuses they add to matches and angles. When I start a promotion I take some time to find my figurehead, sometimes the potential setting can be low so it's important to know if your figure head and maintain over 94/95 popularity if you are attempting to be ranked 1st in the world. When I run the leagues I don't use TV shows. I just book 4 weekly events per week, A Block Tues, B Block Wed, A Block Fri, B Block Sat. With the rest days working out nicely I rarely have had injuries I couldn't deal with. Every angle I run in the game is a generic angle and I just make up the story in my head. Sometimes I will write out "Pre Match Promo with ... " or "Contract Signing with...." but usually I don't. Also I really like to "Add a new player" and take over certain companies while playing a game so that I can manipulate their direction or potential. For example I'm playing a 90's game and I have a working relationship with FMW at regional and I can propose a trade from the FMW side that will allow 10 dates for a worker. So I can get Cactus Jack his Japanese legend that he got in the real world, or have Terry Gordy touring All Japan, Vader working in Europe, Mexico and Japan etc...

<p>When negotiating contacts I've never had match bonus (per event, tv show or show) be a deal breaker in my negotiations. </p><p> </p><p> Like if I'm bidding for Sid Vicious and WWF is bidding for Sid and we are both equal size more or less, I've never had the bonus aspect of negotiations work in my favor. In fact the per match bonus has no affect on if they will sign for me or not. The only thing that seems to matter is the wage terms and perks like creative control, hiring veto wage matching, roster usage (icon, attraction etc), push, signing bonus (to a small degree) and which shows they will work.</p><p> </p><p> So is it my user character is too low on negotiations that this is left ineffective for me or just a hole in the game?</p>

<p>So thankful that finances and attendance are being adjusted to a more realistic level...</p><p> </p><p> So on finances does this mean that we are looking at a per year salary or is it still per month? </p><p> </p><p> One of my biggest pet peeves is seeing every WWF show in my mods get over 40,000 people to nearly all of their shows. Or even having to scale down my financial abilities because I hate drawing an unrealistic audience to shows.</p>

Nice addition with pre booking!

Excited for the latest journal entry. I do enjoy tinkering with the current settings however what you've described sounds much much better.

I started with a local company, and we somehow ended up in the black after 6 shows in 3 months. So I continued to go along with my starter company as small trying to get hired as a booker any possible opening. We were stuck in regional battles, and I had to either try to stay profitable by running so/so shows or spend a ton to win the regional battles. I figured that this would lead to no movement and boring. I became the owner of GBWF, and we made cult pretty easily soon after my take over. I bought CWE, ECZ, TWR, and All Japan Joshi. So we have good popularity in British Isles and really good pop in Japan. I think we will be capped at cult unfortunetly. As Regional Importance is stuck in mid 70s for Central/Northern England and Ireland. For me to reach national I'd have to have 90 popularity, and that's not real possible. I want to slowly expand to USA, by buying out a regional company, and then try to make USA my home region as it's easier to expand there.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> No, you can add another player and start a new promotion but you can't switch home <img alt=":(" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

Today's update is huge! Thank you.
