HarryFandango86 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Owner. Booker seems like a pain if you wanna do decide things your way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonfun Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 <p>Yeah that's what I was thinking.</p><p> </p><p> I think I might start with TCW, or a UK fed or start a new UK fed or maybe TCW and a UK fed.</p><p> </p><p> The choices are driving me crazy lol.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xendarii Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 <p>Owner if you want to play the game primarily for fantasy booking and don't want anything get in your way.</p><p> </p><p> Booker if you want to play the game with a bit more of a challenge (read: if you want to play the game for playing a game that happens to have a lot of fantasy booking in it).</p><p> </p><p> I'm almost always playing as a booker (unless I'm playing a self-made company) because it tends to add more "character" to the save. You'll actually have to run the company like it's supposed to be run.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lr10540 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 If you're just playing to essentially fantasy book, go as the owner. Being the booker brings with it a whole new set of challenges. You'll have to deal with owner goals while could be financial stuff or limits on who you can hire/extend based off skill or attributes. You also have limits on contract offers, so you'll find yourself unable to simply outbid every other promotion for a talent. You have to give perks, bonuses etc and even then a lot of times for the top tier guys it leaves it up to chance as they'll consider your offer along with others. All things considered, as much as I love Road to Glory games, I much prefer being the owner when I'm playing an RtG game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I like Booker. The limitations can each game different from the last, and I don't play 'big' promotions so I'm not concerned when I can't compete financially for stars. If you want to take over the world being just the booker may frustrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArtofAlmost Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Owner. All the way. Whenever I've had owner goals they've always been so vague so as to preclude me from hiring almost anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lr10540 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Owner. All the way. Whenever I've had owner goals they've always been so vague so as to preclude me from hiring almost anyone. The Owner Goals this year from what I've seen are a lot better. No Psychopaths, no one over 35, no one with less than 60 respect. All seems pretty simple to follow. The hardest part is not being able to compete for top talent. I'm genuinely scared for my main event scene when all my guys come due in a couple years.

Jonfun Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Think I’ll start as a owner. I want full control of my roster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I'm a talent developer so when I get an owner goal that says I can't hire people with less than X in Y trait, it pisses me off. Getting highly rated shows is easy. But getting someone, even someone as obviously talented as Black Diamond or Katya, to Alicia Strong levels of virtuosity, is not.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan93 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Between Owner Goals, caps on salaries, and "the fear of getting fired" I've always played as Owner. Booker seems like extra hassle, unless the intention is to jump from company to company, which I don't do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCGreyghost Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I always play as owner. My play style is more fantasy booking than simulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickman Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Booker. I love the extra challenge of owner goals and if down the track they stand in the way of letting me do something I REALLY want to do for a current save (buy Scott Hall for example), I just turn them off.

MrTroy03 Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 <p>I love being Booker. Yes it can kind of chaff sometimes, but I love the extra challenge. I autobook most things I love the feeling of "running" a company, not necessarily picking who wins all the matches on a B show, big picture, the main event, negotiating all the best TV deals and PPV deals to give me maximum profit AND coverage in all areas, I love contract negotiations with workers etc.</p><p> </p><p> Booking gets in the way sometimes for me. That may sound counter intuitive as I have MORE control as an Owner, but as Booker it "feels" more as if you are part of a corporate structure where you have your own performance metrics to reach on top of revenue and size, all the while managing your roster. I view it as like being the General Manager of a fast food restaurant, you are the big boss in a LOT of ways, scheduling, day to day decisions, hiring, in a LOT of ways it is "your" restaurant, but there is still someone else above you who spices it up a bit, so like 90% control.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parker Stiles Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 depends on my intention. I like to be Booker sometimes just to have a challenge and see how things go and follow the goals and rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
