Hey there, big thanks again for the custom logo and banner you did, I’m still stunned that it looks so great for how fast you made it! Really can’t thank you enough! I was wondering if you’d be up for making a event graphic? I’m calling my big year end show Battle In Seattle and I think it could look so badass!

This is amazing, thank you so much!</p>

I’m starting a women’s company in the Pacific Northwest called Valkyrie Pro Wrestling or VALPRO for short. It’s going to be an in-ring focused, joshi-inspired promotion with close ties to 5SSW through the Pan-Pacific Women’s Wrestling Alliance. If anybody wanted to take a crack at that, it would be amazing! I’ve never had custom graphics for a fed before and I really want to make this play through special. Maybe something with some kind of wing motif? Much thanks to anybody willing to give it a shot.

Thanks for the recommendations, some of these will really help!

As nice as those are, I don’t play RW mods so I don’t wanna clutter up my belts folder with real world titles I’ll never use. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I was hoping that 2020 would have some new generic belt designs for player created companies, but it’s all the same ones as 2016. Is there a mod somewhere that adds more belts?

I feel like some people are missing the point of what a “boy” is. It’s supposed to be a character you have an attachment to despite them not being very well-regarded or successful. Lucy Stone-McFly, for example, is a prodigy from day one and can be rocketed to superstardom in no time flat. It’s more about the workers that might get overlooked, but you just keep coming back to them. Like for me, Marcel LeFleur is a boy. Tigre Salvaje Jr maybe, or hell, even Thrill Seeker fits the bill considering how his career turned out. Workers like Greg Gauge or the American Cobras that always end up in high demand in every game are just too good to be boys.

Stealth Z is probably bottom boy for me, never gets work in Japan so I always bring him to Canada.

<p>Again, dunno if this has been mentioned before or if I’m missing something, but I started my own company and signed 20 something contracts, but when I go to the pre-booking screen and try to book a match and the fields are completely empty. I can add workers to the match with the drop down menus and once I book them they then show up in the black field next to the drop down menus. I also noticed that my creative meeting panel was completely empty at first, even with 20 workers signed. Once I had booked some matches however, JUST those workers appeared in the creative panel. </p><p> </p><p> I guess my question is, are some of these sections not populated until you’ve booked all your workers in a match already? Why can’t I know who my top wrestlers are until I’ve booked them? Seems like a confusing way to open a new company.</p>

Somebody may have mentioned this already but I’m noticing the AI booking cage matches far too often, at least one per week and sometimes more than one per show.

I would say use the new inter gender rule to your advantage, contrary to what some people have been griping about so far I think there’s a lot of exciting talent in women’s Indy wrestling in North America so this is a good chance to sign so solid talent that you’d otherwise skip if you were playing ACPW in 2016

Finally had a look, and honestly the roster has me hopeful and even less burnt that 4C is gone. And hey, if you need something for Mimic to do, I noticed an Unemployed worker from the Dragon Academy named DupliKate...

I’m still at work, are Diablo Duvak and Mimic still there? Has the tag division gotten any better?

Im a tad worried because my biggest problem in previous games is a ballooning roster, and it sounds like CWA is already pretty bloated. I have no love for CGC though so I’ll probably ditch anybody who can’t keep up with the NOTBPW guys.

Legit shocked that ACPW outlived 4C, I was completely expecting the opposite to happen. Thrilled that ACPW is going integrated though, as much as CWA sounds tempting I might have to make that my first game. Can’t check until I get off work, does anybody know if Lucy Stone-McFly has debuted yet?

You can get one in 4C as well.

Faction Warfare. I always end up putting together a ton of stables. Eventually it gets to the point where I’m booking year long storylines where one faction gains control until they are overthrown or implode. In my 4C game this happened first with Hands of Stone (Johnny Bloodstone, Jared Johnson and David Stone), who were supplanted by Edward Cornell and his Coalition (Hugh Ancrie, Gram Gorman, Logan Wolfsbaine and later Chris Flynn) until they fractured after a year and a half. Things were chaotic until about when I stopped playing, where the new alliance of Mimic, Davis Wayne Newton and Thrill Seeker, also known as The New Black, gained control with Mimic winning the title and a resurgent Cornell Coalition got on his heels. It gives you a lot of options to work with for long term booking, so I fall back on it a lot.

Once the demo is out I’m going to pour over all the rosters and see what’s changed, maybe run a watcher game a couple of times over and start making a shortlist of workers I wanna use. As for the full release, I’m toying with the idea of creating a West Coast Alliance and running three Indy feds at once, a PROGRESS-style promotion in British Columbia, a women’s promotion in Washington and a crazy Mortal Kombat meets wrestling type company somewhere in California. If not I might just play as 4C again if their roster is any better this time around. (2016 was rough for them)

To my knowledge that cap applies to match aims like Wild Brawl and High Spots, not the All Out note itself. When I run matches with Steal The Show I can get up to 20 minutes without being penalized for going long. Maybe there was a patch I didn’t download or something, but for an action-heavy company like 4C or something Steal The Show works great if you don’t mind your main events going no more than 20 minutes EDIT: To illustrate my point better, here’s how I’d usually book a TV show: MAIN EVENT: Steal The Show, 20 mins High Spots or Wild Brawl, 15 mins High Spots or Wild Brawl, 13-15 mins Steal The Show, 18-20 mins High Spots or Wild Brawl, 13-15 mins High Spots or Wild Brawl, 13-15 mins OPENER: Steal The Show or Technical Masterclass, 15-20 Mins Again, obviously this wouldn’t work for every product, but it can be a viable choice for main events.

This was likely the funniest moment for me, I was maybe two years into my 4C game and The Inner City Express we’re dominating my tag division. They held the belts for over a year and I was preparing them for a third reign when Malik Cash won’t resign a contract for some reason, which was odd since he didn’t have any morale issues to my memory. So his contract lapses and he signs with my rivals CGC as a singles wrestler. He has ONE match that got a C, then broke his leg in the second and was out for a year. By the time he had returned 4C had grown and he was willing to sign again. I just imagined everybody in the locker room ribbing him about his awful year. “Hey Malik, how was your singles push?” Another one that stands out, although it didn’t happen to me, was Rick Law winning the SWF World Title... and then dying of a heart attack the very next day

It may not suit the product of GCG, but I’ve had a lot of success with Steal The Show for Main Events. Usually have it go 20 minutes or slightly less, always trying to pack in as much star power as possible and hopefully be tied to a storyline. I’ve had a few A* matches with a National fed and recently even an A in a regional fed, which I was obviously very pleased with

One thing I want to do in 2020 is get better at logging worker performance so I can tell who is not improving and I can cut them loose earlier. I’m thinking I’m just going to keep a simple Google Doc with each worker’s ratings in their matches over time, maybe log chemistry too.
