I would like to see more options in how we can promote cards and our promotion. There was a game called 5gws. Although full of bugs and a freeware, there was an option to set up advertising campaigns. In other words you could put advertisement either local, regional, national, continental or global. You could use direrent types up advertisements, going from flyers, bilboards, theaters, TV ect. Assuming you had the cash, you could build up popularity of your promotion or the amount of hype to your events. I like this option as it helps relatively new promotions, which have the financial backing to build up their popularity, more quickly. Also i helps smaller promotions build up their popularity in their local area more quickly.

This is a great idea... on a sort of related note, will there be options to start the game with different amounts of cash? Like Mr Richguy starts an org, say Bodog fights and immediately can go out and buy Fedor the #1 fighter in the world vs Mr Joe Schmoe that starts one with 50k and has to give guys $200 a fight to start out.
