dvdWarrior Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Gotta say, I love the new networks feature. Not only does it make the game better, IMO, it's already got the ol' wheels turning on some pretty interesting concepts for my own personal games.

Gigas Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Cool new feature. I wonder if it will be incorporated in CV. One thing that might suck (in a good, challenging way) is having a great game and the economy tanking, lose your tv slot and then lose your fed.

crayon Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Pretty huge news, and makes me really wish I hadn't decided to use RW networks in my mod because now I'll have to track down all the info.. ah well, all part of the biz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bus Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 With the new feature when I saw Umbrella I got excited..... I was just wondering as some sort of umbrella system is created, then why not the same for promotions... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I was just wondering as some sort of umbrella system is created, then why not the same for promotions... For promotions it'd be a fair bit more complicated.. but I agree that I'd love to see umbrella orgs as the last feature, and find out that Derek B and Remianen managed to pull a gigantic swerve on us all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodsmeister Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 When Ted Turner owned WCW would this fall under journal entry #46? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denzil85 Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Media group/Network Umbrella - I like the sound of this, as the example says, you could start off with your promotion being shown at 3am on Sky Sports 3 and eventually work your way up the ratings to earn a primetime slot on Sky 1/Sky Sports 1 depending on your promotion type.

justtxyank Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 This sounds awesome, but I will be honest. When I first saw the word "umbrella" in that post I thought "NWA NWA NWA NWA NWA!" It moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Parent Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 Yes WCW would be owned by a media group! This makes historical scenarios even better. Here's hoping for umbrella promotions! NWA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. interesting addition with the TV, risky business though Yeah, finally someone sees the possible downside. Like the journal entry said, you could lose your promotion even if you were successful (growing in size and stature and pulling good ratings). It's a good feature though and should lead to mods (especially unique ones like crayon's MASSIVE one) incorporating it and making it a bit easier for people to grow their promotion with as little fuss as possible. In reality, there are several media groups whether people know it or not (look at how many networks Viacom owns - including one that would probably make for a good Cult network in LOGO). Only thing that might be missing (and perhaps added to the next game) is something like the Comcast-NBC thing (cable/PPV provider owning a TV network). It's truly like a ladder system and makes those related networks (like Sky Sports or the like) more attractive since it's a way to "get in on the ground floor", so to speak.

Phil Parent Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I'm thinking that being owned by a network might limit your growth... Because, say (Hypothetical, and I don't think it applies in the real world) you are owned by a local TV station. You'll never grown past local because you can't get the TV exposure on a national stage. UNLESS TV stations grow now. Also, about umbrella networks...does that mean I can start on one station on the network and then slowly but surely get clearance on other stations? That would simulate syndication real good.

The Masked Orange Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 It'd be cool (sooooorry:D)... Are there bidding wars for promotion takeovers?, or an opportunity to buy the promotion if the network shuts it down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hunch. I'm excited about the umbrella networks. However, I'm more excited about the implication that you can now move TV shows. Network to network, if they're under the same umbrella, but presumably that means you can change time slots when renegotiating, which would just be awesome.
