You could try tweaking the era settings for generating fighters to give them a big enough pool to sign talent from. Other than that I'm not sure you can do anything else as the editor only lets you stop companies from adding new weight classes.</p>

If there are no open slots in his region, then you can't ask him to join a team because he won't find anything. However, he can still go off into other regions to find a team on his own and this might be affected by his mental attributes like dedication.</p>

What do you mean by showcases? Local shows should be happening on their own.

 

#87 Showcase Local Shows

 

Special once-per-year large local shows called 'showcases' have been added; these feature only the best unsigned talent and, unlike regular local shows, have no geographic restrictions. They simulate wealthy backers holding one-off shows. This allows fighters to compete against people they wouldn't normally get to face and gives them another place to try and impress employers.

 

This was in the Developer's Journal. Maybe I just missed out on seeing it but I don't know.

Oh I'm not sure I'm still at November 2002. You could check all the past results to see if the showcase is in there. You can set the search function for showcase. There might be like a news article for it, but sometimes I just skip over them.

How do I create a TV show?

 

If you're talking about just a named show, then when you go to add show, there's a button for TV shows at the bottom where you can just save the name of the show. If you're talking about reality TV, you go to your office and click that. Most of the stuff is explained there from the question marks, but you essentially just need to choose 2 coaches for the season and a weight class. You don't have to assign any fighters to the show if you want them to generated, but you can sign guys and then add them to the show as long as they're available.

Can someone please explain how the short notice function works?

 

I assume that, if I have a show that only consists of a one-night tournament (i.e. no "alternate" bouts) and someone gets injured in the days leading up to it, I have to cancel the show?

 

Ya I'm pretty sure Adam has already posted somewhere that you can't replace a fighter for a one-night tournament. For a regular fight, people can message you if someone gets injured and offer to replace them. You have 7 days to reply to the offer.

 

Edit: I am wrong. See Adam's reply on the next page.

You can absolutely replace fighters in a one night tournament in exactly the same way as you can replace fighters in a regular fight. What I think you've misread is that you should always have a back-up fight on the card because if someone gets injured the day before the show then you won't have the necessary time to make a replacement. You could still hire someone on short notice to fill the gap if you have a few days left before the show.

Do shows without broadcasters generate popularity for the company? If I wanted to take a company from Unknown to Mid Level Regional before I signed with a broadcaster is that viable, or would it be way too slow of gains to be reasonable?

 

Yes you can generate popularity, but you would only gain popularity in the region that the show is held. Obviously starting small, your gains would probably not be as large as you would otherwise have with a broadcaster/higher popularity.
