You know I bought this game simply because it looked like a fun wrestling sim where you can create your own wrestler. I never expected it to be this deep! Damn. Thanks for the tut! This will really help a lot.
Thanks for getting to the point and explaining things. So many people yak and yak on their tutorials with other people laughing in the background, makes it extremely hard for me to watch their videos.
Nice vid ... I love this mode, also I’d suggest sending guys to train out as often as you can. I did that and when they came back they had developed relationships with other promotions that made easier to loan, invite, and cross promote with. Even did a partnership with one and was very profitable. By year 3 I was up to 20 mi in assets!
Very nice, I'm only at 1mil assets in year 3 but we do have the #1 Gym in the world now. I wasn't entirely sure what the outcome of sending people abroad was, I did it with a couple people and only really noticed their popularity increased in the region they trained in which was useful but not worth sacrificing another match. I typically use it when I've got an odd number of wrestlers and don't want to invite other companies wrestlers due to the risk of no show. If you don't mind me asking have you noticed anything in particular from partnerships other than it being easier to cross-promote/share talent?
I haven’t noticed any other effects than that, but that can be hit or miss. I still had guys no show some events even with us having a partnership with them.
@@BigDEE1220 Oh me too I forgot about that DFW's Kamagi or whatnot no showed my first show hiring him after partnership for "personal reasons". I know the truth, he knew I was going to put him in a title match and my boy Mickey was going to bring the DFW title home with him so he hid... XD
GUD you're right - they do shift styles after being in your fed long enough. In my save Billy Gunn was King's Road, but after wrestling Showmen at a high level, he's now a showman.
Yeah I actually had this happen to someone I didn't want to change XD I was trying to collect up strong style guys to do a more hybrid show and one went showman and I was like "man, I just put you in "Stronk Style" you better switch back you are the odd man out in the faction now." He's still showman but his two partners stayed Strong and Stronk Style is hilariously one of my best teams now.
@@GamerUnderDev Nice. I'm running an AEW promotion that exist inside a universe with NJPW (I forgot to put in WWE guys lol) and custom promotions. Right now I'm in year 3 at over 10 mil. But I'm only making 20k in sponsorship money but my gym is on fleek at level 8 lol.
Naheem Quattlebaum Taking Carr of your workers, more power to ya, I’m going to be starting our community fed vs the World Series this week and we’ll be competing with WWE, NJPW, AEW, and 12 other real world companies. Of course our gym will always be on fleek because we look out for our own and make sure they got good training and medical 😎
Loved your fire pro broadcast. Im doing a seperate save from my original as my original gpw is in year 10 and has 100 mil in the bank. This is definately a fun mode and made better by folks like you going in depth. Thanks a mil
Already in the works. I've gathered 486 real world edits from 15 different companies from all over the globe. I'll be doing a series where our community eFed competes against those 15 companies and if you have an edit on the workshop or can send me on PS4 you like everyone else is welcome in our community eFed :D
Glad it was decent there will be a 102 soon as well because I found out some more stuff. I've actually stopped playing my main file so I can show things before moving forward. We've done pretty incredibly by year 3 and interestingly enough it seems your individual playthrough milage may vary. I heard someone saying Mickey is an absolute schlub for them and in my promotion he is a title collector boasting titles from 3 companies.
Bro I appreciate this vid so much cuz I didn't know what I was doing lol. I wish Fire pro would set up Fire promoter to where u can have 2nds and ppl running in and create storylines and stuff like that.
It's a pretty fun trip, I think GFW may be making a transition to a weekly or bi-weekly Fire Promoter show. With some interviews shot via the mod suite.
I typically wait until I hit the wrestler cap to upgrade the gym itself, but do invest in the bag and the doctors quickly. It's a cool mode but it is incredibly simplistic (Not necessarily a bad thing though) and the only thing that makes the mode a bit confusing is shoddy translations.
I agree very much with this. It seems so heavily based around popularity of wrestlers and draw value and so much less focused on things like 100% match quality.
Some random dude can win your title? What is this, the 1950’s when guys were all shooting on other promoter’s champions to hook them and take their belt? Hahaha
@@michaelwells2624 I would’ve loved to see somebody like a Bob Backlund hook Hulk Hogan and make him submit before pinning him for good measure. That’s why Bobby had to drop it to Sheiky Baby who then dropped it to Hogan. Bob had no respect for Hulk’s actual wrestling ability, and I agree with him. Your champion should be able to hold his own in a real grappling contest with amateur rules. That’s why Kurt Angle is actually the most legitimate World Champion any promotion has ever had. Jack Briscoe is in the top 5 for sure, as are Billy Robinson and Frank Gotch. To my understanding Bob Roop was quite capable as well. But I have Brock Lesner at 2. He may actually be number 1, but I count it based on amateur wrestling and grappling ability, not MMA ability, Brock used a lot of ground and pound which isn’t exactly a technically demanding style for a man of his size to be utilizing. But also, we know that Brock and Kurt had a little more amateur freestyle wrestling match in the ring one day before fans got there and they both admit Kurt won. Which is crazy considering the size he was giving up.
To be realistic wrestler draw power would have to count more than match quality. It explains WWE outdrawing all other companies while being maybe third for match quality after NJPW and PWG or something.
Nathan Baldwin Oh absolutely it’s just disappointing that there is less reward for investing in raising people’s pop than there is from just hiring a higher pop worker. In Promoter the gain you get from building a Star from scratch (often times something that will uplift an entire promotion) is pretty much non-existant. For example, it takes ~13-14 perfect matches to take someone to C ranking from a D and a D tank beating an S rank yields no more popularity than a D rank beating a D rank which also doesn’t make real wrestling sense. It’s not that the system Is bad it’s just very shallow.
That’s unfortunate. I could imagine a way to manage popularity better. Pop bump could be inversely correlated with match length to simulate squash matches and also be a function of the opponents popularity and attack/defence rating. Some should be able to come in and squash A and B popularity guys with A and B attack and defence and get over quick. Maybe they could even factor in how long a wrestler has held particular popularity so that you could build up monster heels over six months but if they lose a couple of matches when only reaching A or B popularity for a month, they are more likely to drop down again. I’m no game developer though so maybe that is technically too difficult.
Nathan Baldwin I’m not a game developer but I am a programmer what your suggesting isn’t difficult it’s not something requiring animations and multiple tie in systems it’s just background conditionals they should have done things like that but they instead made it a barebones shell which is very unfortunate especially after it was delayed for so very long but it probably had a lot to do with them hiring new devs to finish Promoter since the originals weren’t around anymore. I’m just waiting for Carl to mod the crap out of Promoter and fix all that XD
GUD hahah so good. Yeah I thought that it wouldn’t be hard. I’ve got my fantasy game developer hat on now. Lol. There is so much you could do. A winner could score popularity that is a function of match quality, match duration, opponent quality and opponent popularity. But you could do it in a way where the loser could even gain popularity if the match quality was high enough. I’m thinking of rivalries where two wrestlers trade wins but the match quality is high enough where they both gain popularity despite not improving their win/loss record like RVD/Lynn or Booker T/Benoit. Also it doesn’t make sense for a Stone Cold type to gain popularity from beating a jobber but the other way around should give the jobber a boost, albeit maybe a boost that will fade more quickly than stringing together a 10-2 record over a year or something.
Nathan Baldwin yeah the reality is all of that would simply be done via comparison of attributes the game is already tracking. There are some pretty talented models working on the game and I wouldn’t be against taking a stab at the code myself some day it’s just an issue of time I spend so much of it working on this channel that between that, work, and my fiancé I hardly have time to dig into new things. Like I’ve started texture modding for FPWW and Wazamake (move building) but I only ever scrape together 10-25 mins here and there XD. Totally worth though next weeks GFW Pulse is going to be nuclear 🔥 we should have 3 story segments and a match
Lol every time I hear Paul Collins I think Phill Collins😂 Yeah for me the worst match was my heavyweight title match with Matt Hardy vs Goldberg(custom promotion but I let the game pick my starting six with randomization) The best match was actually Kane with D popularity with c popularity. 94%
franchise98bjn You just kinda choose I think that in this case the stables they give you “666” and “Noble” have very specific connotations. Otherwise there is a heel fight style that makes people boo when an edit taunts but if you’re on PC the mods also offer a Heel Database which allows you to flag your heels
If I could offer some advice, for the first 6 months or so only book 3 match cards and book title matches more often. Using only wrestlers signed to your promotion. My early shows would open with a JR Heavyweight title match, then a Face Stable vs Heel Stable single match, then a Heavyweight Title match. This formula seemed to help my talent get over pretty quickly. Once your roster expands to 8 wrestlers, I would alternate between a Heavyweight Tag Title Match and the Jr Heavyweight match on the cards. These 3 match cards are also more likely to generate a 90% or higher match rating (when wrestlers are matched up properly) which grew my promotions popularity quicker. I was able to run my first 10k seater Urban venue event in November of year 1 using these short cards. PS. I agree with you about Bill Bullock. The guy is a star tag team wrestler in my promotion.
That's probably a good idea early on for sure. If you get lucky with invited wrestlers and merchandise you can make money hand over fist. The original tutorial was more focused in financial gain than popularity because a lot of people seemed to struggle with staying afloat. 102 comes out today and covers some more tricks to getting popular and stealing other companies belts, because... y'know... shiny.
Have you tried booking squash matches to raise a wrestler’s draw power? I would hope the game would reward booking guys strong in squash matches like Goldberg was booked. His matches early would have to be rated around 60% and he probably started with a C or D popularity but with A+ attack and defence and ended up being a draw. Or Ultimate Warrior who ended up being a huge draw.
It doesn't that's sort of the problem, the mode lacks any depth in that regard the math behind the engine is super simple. For example, wrestlers who are brand new and starting at a D have 0 popularity and are caped at 1.5 pop gain per match (not counting slight bonuses from being in title matches, those are like .5 - 1 point) in order to reach C you are required to have 20 for C rating. There is no bonus for winning over any particular opponent in any sort of way, what you get on that range of 0 - 1.5 is entirely based on match rating. It's a very shallow system that hides the shallowness well. It doesn't make promoter unfun by any means but you have to take it for what it is and accept that you aren't going to get anything like a Gargano/Ciampa feud bumping pop or a goldberg streak bumping pop. They absolutely should but they don't for the most part Promoter is a money management mode. Where it does excel is in the ability to add real world companies in and compete with them financially. Otherwise if you are looking for more of a GM mode experience the modpack on PC contains a mod called MotW that will allow you to book cards, track draw values, has random events, allows interview segments, has controllable outcomes/run-ins, and is basically vastly superior in every way, except for the competing financially with other feds.
@@GamerUnderDev If there's any truth to that, that's awesome. I'll take what I can get, since this game still lacks content. Fire Promoter got repetitive quick.
@@bgx3232 Yeah Fire Promoter is really a console only mode for me. The mods on PC have MotW which is somewhat better of a promotion mode. I use the mods currently to make custom parts and am working on belts for the community eFed GFW but a built-in feature would save me time and frustration :)
Glad that it helped :D There should be more tutorials coming very soon. Season one of our Fire Pro Community eFed show is nearing it's end and during the off-season I'll be doing a lot of tutorials and just videos showing how we make cool stuff for that show.
So, my question is do the promotions all come from your roster or are there only presets? I have rosters for WWE, TNA, and some CAWs (DC, Marvel, etc) and I may end up making my own CAWs, how does that all translate? Do my teams transfer over? At the moment I just have everyone in 2 teams: Face and heel
I've been trying to figure out how to change the wrestling style of my wrestlers to fit my promotion seeing as some have made the switch but other don't seem to want to, also the sponsers monthly fee is the money you receive? I always just thought you pay that because "fee" lol, great video.
RKOGaming thanks and yeah as far as I’ve seen if you book the wrestlers in the style you want long enough they will switch over, if I had to guess it’s probably like a flat percentage chance it will happen. I managed to make a guy strong style just by booking him in strong style matches for a long time.
@@GamerUnderDev Yeah I figured that's how it worked maybe my problem is I'm booking different styles in tag team matches or something but thanks for the reply good brother, 2 sweet to ya.
Playlist Master yes it is hey they can be added in at the beginning like any other promotion. In order to have all of them you need the so called “Taichi Cheat”
Glad to hear it helped, definitely check out Fire Promoter 102 for tips on raising popularity, booking the best financial outcome cards, and stealing titles :D
@@minecraft200 It ended up slowing us down for about a month but I always prioritize the gym because it reduces injuries and injured time recovery. When you have 6 wrestlers in the company if 2 go out for injury you are not making money that month. You could prioritize the doctors in month one though and get the rest after you start putting on profitable shows. That being said my wrestlers in year two have become adept at stealing other promotions belts in cross-promotional events (because while I'm not highest on every chart my gym is the 3rd best in the world). Those stolen titles mean more title matches and more seats. I'm regularly filling arenas with $100 ticket prices now. Plus we got our first TV Deal which isn't that great and has no gameplay effect either than more money and an average match requirement.
On PS4 you are limited by game mechanics, meaning you can either control the person you want to win the match or remove the ability for one wrestler to pin/sub someone from their logic. On PC you have options, the modpack which is linked in the description of this video has a panel called "Match Pacing & Booking Options" which will allow you to set whom will win and how they will win. Welcome to the community and if you enjoyed the Tutorial definitely check out our GFW series.
Im going to buy this tomorrow and get the Fire Promoter, I just wish the Champs entered wearing their belts and celebrated victories with the belts BUT this Promoter mode is awesome. Can you create custom promotions for the whole set up? Can you make it to were you compete with WWE ROH TNA ect or are you stuck with the ones they provide?
Yes on competing with custom promotions, however if you are getting it for PC maybe take a look at the modpack first as it's better than Promoter in many ways. Let me know which platform you are looking at and I can provide more info on what your limitations will be :D
@@supersteve76 On PS4 you'll be limited to things available on FPW Net and the official content released. In that case I would highly recommend Promoter mode, if you don't have any interest in Japanese wrestling you could skip the other DLCs however they do come with new parts and moves that you will have no other means to acquire and may be used by online creations you download (thus making them unusable without the appropriate DLC). Still very much worth the money in my opinion, I just tend to recommend PC users look into the modpack before dumping cash into Promoter or other DLC (since it can pretty much replace everything those DLCs provide). You will be able to run Promoter mode with custom promotions modeled after Real World Promotions though which is quite fun.
@@GamerUnderDev Can you help me out here bro? I went a got Fire PWW for my PS4 and Im noticing that the display is too big, the edges of the screen are cut off, I cant read the text help at the bottom of the screen, its only with this game, my tv screen settings dont fix the problem and the PS4 setting dont have a fix either. Do you know what I can do to fix this or is it a bug that im stuck with???
@@supersteve76 Ummm if you can see it go to Options > System Settings > Screen Size and change it to your monitor/tvs resolution (usually 1920x1080). If you can't see it you can count the number of beeps from the "offline play" option. 5 beeps down is the options, then 3 beeps down is system settings, then 3 more beeps down is screen size and from there you can move up and down trying options till it fits your screen. Hope that helps :\
I was working on mine today and three companies went out of business at once on month 6. Which completely sucks... because the belts and wrestlers are just gone now. Do the wrestlers stay gone after that? Or will they turn up again later? Also I have a roster of around 700 plus with guys from all over. Maybe I had too many signed to the rosters? I’m not sure. Maybe I should place half in free agents half on the companies.
To my knowledge the wrestler pool is set at the beginning of a save and it doesn't really generate new ones, rather it reveals them as the game goes so it would make sense for them to reappear. However, the modpack on PC has an option to make bankrupt companies wrestlers available as free agents which makes me think the base game doesn't include that feature :( I have heard that starting rival promotions with too many workers will bankrupt them quickly like that I had something like 80 people in NOAH and they have hung in there but I'm not sure what the upward limit on roster size should be. Promoter is a fun mode but there are a lot of common sense things they seemed to have ignored (like the bankruptcies).
GUD yeah it’s a good mode for sure my first one went through to almost two years with no incident. But I restarted because I had new edits I wanted to use. And this time it changed. So maybe it just depends on their starting salaries and size or it’s a bit random I take it on if they succeed or not. But I’m going to add more guys to the FA pool this time around and maybe things will pan out a bit better.
@@BiLLz66614 Yeah I was talking to someone today who had NOAH fold after like a month with a similar number of edits to me so I guess it just depends, one thing that might have helped in my playthrough is that I use the modpack with contract lengths so it may have set a bunch of dudes to like 2 months left on contract and then they went free agent or something.
@@BiLLz66614 I always do my best to reply to everyone. Sometimes I miss some peoples posts but I always try to go back to my comments section and filter to unresponded to comments and catch up :)
When creating a custom promotion. Do the lvls of the promotions and the start off salary assets benefit that corresponding promotion or does everyone have a fair start regardless of salary cap and start off roster number?
I actually haven't made one using my own custom promotions yet. I'll take a look tonight but I would say that everything probably scales based off number of wrestlers on the roster. However if you are setting up a real world promotions in my experience they kind of police themselves as far as larger shows generally having larger rosters. Especially if you make sure every wrestler is unique in the game world. I was working on setting up an RL Promoter mode with my community efed and I will check tonight when I'm home from work and get back to you.
@@GamerUnderDev sweet thanks man. Awesome tutorial btw. I've learned alot from this video alone. Cant wait until Fire promoter 102 comes out, so eager to check it out
To make a cross-promotional event you go to event > cross-promotion and offer it to the company. They may turn you down for a variety of reasons. In order to trade talent the best option is to partner with a company via human resources > broker contract. Once again they may turn you down. As a last resort you can simply invite their talent or loan your talent to them doing either should raise the companies opinion of you making the former two options easier.
I'm new to this game,when setting up my promotion I set certain guys like doink to free agents but hes never listed under free agents or any brand🤔happens with random wrestlers...I understand theres a limit for signed guys as promotions get lower but is there a free agent limit or anyone know why certain wrestlers i pick for free agents just dissapear:(?
I honestly haven't messed with the free-agent pool too much and I'm not sure how it works. I may poke at it a bit tonight and see what I can see. If you did want to include them all on your roster there is the Taichi cheat. When selecting difficulty and number of rivals, hold L1+L2 (or PC counter parts). The modpack also has a toggle for it.
Well you can create custom titles, so you could make a woman's title and only allow women to compete for it but that's probably the closest you can get
I don't know if there will be another video. I don't know if there is much depth left to the mode to be honest. If you have any questions you can always feel free to shoot them to me here, on Twitter, or via Discord though and I will answer them to the best of my ability. If I do learn anything new and worth covering then I will consider additional videos to share stuff. I made this one because I wanted to test out the most efficient way to book the cards (moneywise), the popularity being related to match outcomes (thus the importance of good attack/defense params), and the inviting people for title steals.
@@GamerUnderDev I completely understand but maybe the game developers will hopefully continue to develop this mode because this something other wrestling games like WWE 2K is lacking
@@WestendoJr1 Oh absolutely, in my opinion this and the 2K series are in completely separate leagues, unfortunately Spikechunsoft has a bit of a bad record with FPWW. To the point Japanese pro-wrestler Taichi basically called the CEO of the company out on television. That being said while I don't suspect much to be modified about Fire Promoter there are thankfully modders for those on PC. Carlzilla and the rest of the modders in his Discord community are incredible. Fire Promoter has been out ~1 week and they have already fixed not being able to select a ring for your Promoter company and not being able to import new wrestlers into an existing promoter mode. Whether it be via Spike or via the modders in my humble opinion FPWW will be vastly superior to last years, this years, and more than likely next years WWE2K (I basically stopped playing 2K when they started putting moves into lootboxes -_-)
Squang JP it can stables can get a random event where they get over and sell a bunch of merch plus the fastest way to build pop is be in title matches and multiperson matches mean a bunch of people potentially in a title match
Sounds like you're killing it, I'm on year 4 now with my gym basically done and a growing roster. I've switched my focus to filling arenas so I can grow popularity and building relations with Latin American companies so I can get into the Latin American market :D
Have fun with it I have a community efed and I'm setting up to do a fire promoter run with it versus 15 other real world companies from all over the globe (486 unique real world edits). If you have a workshop edit and want in on the fun shoot me a link.
@@GamerUnderDev I'm stringing in luck two of my scouts found guys in two months one I sent out for 3 the other was a year and they found one American and one in Japan
@@cadeflynn24 It's very inconsistent but it's good you found some folks I'm not sure either but there may be a cap to how many wrestlers can be in free agency. At the point I'm at in my save I seem unable to find new free agents.
So I dont know if this tip helps but I've noticed in the scouting if u send them out for more the 3 months they tend to find more wrestlers then if they dont
I'll definitely test this out, thanks for the info, I had been trying 3 as it seemed a reasonable amount of time to wait but I ran one for a year and got nothing XD
Another trick on the guy u send out for a year try no preference on the wrestler type hes always finding them between 2 and 3 months hes found showman strong and kings road for me I signed a few out of Japan
@@cadeflynn24 I tried a year with the guy who has no specialties with no specified region and no preference to see if he would easter egg up an Okada or something XD
I don't know that there is an express limitation, I'm reasonably sure you can just keep going indefinitely nothing in the mode other than wrestlers becoming old and retiring would inhibit that.
@@GamerUnderDev if u can I cant figure it out:( me n my bro started a promotion n we tried to have macho man vs doink 1p vs 2p but it only says CPU n 1p:( if u can figure ot out I'd love to know👍
Yes but it's a subtle thing more than a direct thing. If you steal all their talent, their titles, things that enhance their ability to draw they can bleed out financially.
@@GamerUnderDev thanks bro I been asking that question for months I didn know how you win this mode or did it go for ever it's to only reason I want this game
@@corywilliams9338 For what it's worth my perception would be that you win when you have the #1 worldwide promotion. I tend to start small regional promotions and work them into multi-region/worldwide ones when I play it.
As ironic as this is, that's why I started GFW. I wanted to challenge myself to work with a roster of people on their characters and stories, get them over without the use of jobbers, and with long-term booked stories. So far it's been a rollercoaster but as we're heading into season 3 we've paid off on 2 year long stories, everyone who has stayed active and engaged with their characters is seeing that reflected on the show, and while some of our wrestlers do have a losing record (because it's unavoidable) I don't feel that anyone on our roster is a jobber (in the sense that on any given night any one of our wrestlers legitimately feels like a threat).
deadlegs187 yes you can if you check out my GFW vs the World series I have added in 16 real world companies including WWE, Impact, RoH, NOAH, Progress, and a bunch more
They need to have good matches, place them up against your highest attack/defense wrestlers. To build pop in other regions send them on training expeditions there or loan them to a company in that region and hope they have a good match. Match eval is largely based on the attack/defense stats when simming the matches, the higher the match eval the more popularity they gain. You can also invite highly popular wrestlers from other promotions and if your guy wins over them they can steal some pop.
@@GamerUnderDev Thank you so much for the advice. You are so awesome dude and tbh that video right there made me fall in love with this game mode. I am having too much fun with this mode now and it is all because of you dude. So thanks again man! :)
More incoming soon I even have an e-fed that I've been having trouble finding time to arrange that I'm considering putting into Fire Promoter. If I did so we could take user edits for the fed even easier.
I said not going to pay anybody "that" (I think) I wasn't willing to pay $1500 to talk to someone uninterested I believe if I recall correctly we spent $500 to talk to someone more likely to sign as you can't really talk to people completely free, but good catch. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial regardless.
Krontok well considering this came out just after release and was designed to help people that were bankrupting in the first couple months I would say it’s decent. Also having 2mil doesn’t matter to me. Having facilities to reduce injuries and grow my talent was honestly more important money can come later. (By year three I had the best facilities in the world) There is a 102 where we talk a bit more about other aspects and I know even more about some of the popularity mechanics now. If you had 2mil and you were killing it in year yep that’s good, you probably don’t need this then. 102 is about title stealing and cross-promotion. We’re also doing a 16 company playthrough right now where we started with the Taichi cheat and burned the money back down to the normal starting cash. That is a bit more challenging as you don’t have the popularity to book great cards. Welcome to the community sorry the tutorial is a bit dated.

Nice vid ... I love this mode, also I’d suggest sending guys to train out as often as you can. I did that and when they came back they had developed relationships with other promotions that made easier to loan, invite, and cross promote with. Even did a partnership with one and was very profitable. By year 3 I was up to 20 mi in assets!
Very nice, I'm only at 1mil assets in year 3 but we do have the #1 Gym in the world now.

Amazing tutorial btw I learned quite a bit from this even though I've been playing promoter into my 5th year
Loved your fire pro broadcast. Im doing a seperate save from my original as my original gpw is in year 10 and has 100 mil in the bank. This is definately a fun mode and made better by folks like you going in depth. Thanks a mil
Make this a series dude. I'm subscribing for this. Nice work
Already in the works. I've gathered 486 real world edits from 15 different companies from all over the globe. I'll be doing a series where our community eFed competes against those 15 companies and if you have an edit on the workshop or can send me on PS4 you like everyone else is welcome in our community eFed :D
I'm looking to get started with Promoter. Thank you for this video. Great tips!
Always glad to hear it helped :)
Great work on the video, the community needed this! S-Rank.
Glad it was decent there will be a 102 soon as well because I found out some more stuff. I've actually stopped playing my main file so I can show things before moving forward. We've done pretty incredibly by year 3 and interestingly enough it seems your individual playthrough milage may vary. I heard someone saying Mickey is an absolute schlub for them and in my promotion he is a title collector boasting titles from 3 companies.
When I put my titles on the line against guys from other promotions, I play the matches myself to make sure I win them.
That's absolutely a good way to ensure you take them home I just find it takes what little opportunity the CPU has to compete away XD
Bro I appreciate this vid so much cuz I didn't know what I was doing lol. I wish Fire pro would set up Fire promoter to where u can have 2nds and ppl running in and create storylines and stuff like that.
This is exactly why I use the modpack and its MotW mode because it's more like that
Nice tutorial, keep Em coming!
Thanks I'm glad it was useful. More info to come in Fire Promoter 102 as I discovered some new stuff right after the recording.
Awesome tutorial!
I am taking you at your word when I do the Fire Promoter!
I may have to watch this video again!
It's a pretty fun trip, I think GFW may be making a transition to a weekly or bi-weekly Fire Promoter show. With some interviews shot via the mod suite.
@@GamerUnderDev
Nice!
I can't wait for that!
I typically wait until I hit the wrestler cap to upgrade the gym itself, but do invest in the bag and the doctors quickly.
It's a cool mode but it is incredibly simplistic (Not necessarily a bad thing though) and the only thing that makes the mode a bit confusing is shoddy translations.
I agree very much with this. It seems so heavily based around popularity of wrestlers and draw value and so much less focused on things like 100% match quality.
Very clearly explained and entertaining. Subbed!
Also you can go to "Promotion Stats" and it has the order for popularity for ever country (America, Japan, Latin America, Europe)
Oh that is super helpful thanks it's nice that folks can roll through here later and find a bunch of additional info in the comments :D
@@GamerUnderDev No prob man. Anytime! 😁
The reason your initial expenses were so high was cause of your wrestlers' salaries. And great tutorial btw!
Thank you glad it was enjoyable.
Thanks for the tutorial man still watching it but this is really helpful i just got fire promoter today and I followed some people's advice
Great video man, will have to pick this up!
Bro you have no idea how handy this was for me...
Some random dude can win your title? What is this, the 1950’s when guys were all shooting on other promoter’s champions to hook them and take their belt? Hahaha
The first guy I sent to another promotion actually came back with a title... and I was just like WHY DID THEY ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEND?
Vince would never...
@@michaelwells2624 I would’ve loved to see somebody like a Bob Backlund hook Hulk Hogan and make him submit before pinning him for good measure. That’s why Bobby had to drop it to Sheiky Baby who then dropped it to Hogan. Bob had no respect for Hulk’s actual wrestling ability, and I agree with him. Your champion should be able to hold his own in a real grappling contest with amateur rules. That’s why Kurt Angle is actually the most legitimate World Champion any promotion has ever had. Jack Briscoe is in the top 5 for sure, as are Billy Robinson and Frank Gotch. To my understanding Bob Roop was quite capable as well. But I have Brock Lesner at 2. He may actually be number 1, but I count it based on amateur wrestling and grappling ability, not MMA ability, Brock used a lot of ground and pound which isn’t exactly a technically demanding style for a man of his size to be utilizing. But also, we know that Brock and Kurt had a little more amateur freestyle wrestling match in the ring one day before fans got there and they both admit Kurt won. Which is crazy considering the size he was giving up.
To be realistic wrestler draw power would have to count more than match quality. It explains WWE outdrawing all other companies while being maybe third for match quality after NJPW and PWG or something.
Nathan Baldwin Oh absolutely it’s just disappointing that there is less reward for investing in raising people’s pop than there is from just hiring a higher pop worker. In Promoter the gain you get from building a Star from scratch (often times something that will uplift an entire promotion) is pretty much non-existant. For example, it takes ~13-14 perfect matches to take someone to C ranking from a D and a D tank beating an S rank yields no more popularity than a D rank beating a D rank which also doesn’t make real wrestling sense. It’s not that the system
Is bad it’s just very shallow.
That’s unfortunate. I could imagine a way to manage popularity better. Pop bump could be inversely correlated with match length to simulate squash matches and also be a function of the opponents popularity and attack/defence rating. Some should be able to come in and squash A and B popularity guys with A and B attack and defence and get over quick. Maybe they could even factor in how long a wrestler has held particular popularity so that you could build up monster heels over six months but if they lose a couple of matches when only reaching A or B popularity for a month, they are more likely to drop down again. I’m no game developer though so maybe that is technically too difficult.
Nathan Baldwin I’m not a game developer but I am a programmer what your suggesting isn’t difficult it’s not something requiring animations and multiple tie in systems it’s just background conditionals they should have done things like that but they instead made it a barebones shell which is very unfortunate especially after it was delayed for so very long but it probably had a lot to do with them hiring new devs to finish Promoter since the originals weren’t around anymore. I’m just waiting for Carl to mod the crap out of Promoter and fix all that XD
GUD hahah so good. Yeah I thought that it wouldn’t be hard. I’ve got my fantasy game developer hat on now. Lol. There is so much you could do. A winner could score popularity that is a function of match quality, match duration, opponent quality and opponent popularity. But you could do it in a way where the loser could even gain popularity if the match quality was high enough. I’m thinking of rivalries where two wrestlers trade wins but the match quality is high enough where they both gain popularity despite not improving their win/loss record like RVD/Lynn or Booker T/Benoit.
Also it doesn’t make sense for a Stone Cold type to gain popularity from beating a jobber but the other way around should give the jobber a boost, albeit maybe a boost that will fade more quickly than stringing together a 10-2 record over a year or something.
Nathan Baldwin yeah the reality is all of that would simply be done via comparison of attributes the game is already tracking. There are some pretty talented models working on the game and I wouldn’t be against taking a stab at the code myself some day it’s just an issue of time I spend so much of it working on this channel that between that, work, and my fiancé I hardly have time to dig into new things. Like I’ve started texture modding for FPWW and Wazamake (move building) but I only ever scrape together 10-25 mins here and there XD. Totally worth though next weeks GFW Pulse is going to be nuclear 🔥 we should have 3 story segments and a match
Lol every time I hear Paul Collins I think Phill Collins😂
Yeah for me the worst match was my heavyweight title match with Matt Hardy vs Goldberg(custom promotion but I let the game pick my starting six with randomization)
The best match was actually Kane with D popularity with c popularity. 94%
Great tutorial. Was thinking about buying this game. How do you know which wrestlers are heel or baby face? Do you choose that?
franchise98bjn You just kinda choose I think that in this case the stables they give you “666” and “Noble” have very specific connotations. Otherwise there is a heel fight style that makes people boo when an edit taunts but if you’re on PC the mods also offer a Heel Database which allows you to flag your heels
If I could offer some advice, for the first 6 months or so only book 3 match cards and book title matches more often. Using only wrestlers signed to your promotion.
My early shows would open with a JR Heavyweight title match, then a Face Stable vs Heel Stable single match, then a Heavyweight Title match. This formula seemed to help my talent get over pretty quickly.
Once your roster expands to 8 wrestlers, I would alternate between a Heavyweight Tag Title Match and the Jr Heavyweight match on the cards.
These 3 match cards are also more likely to generate a 90% or higher match rating (when wrestlers are matched up properly) which grew my promotions popularity quicker.
I was able to run my first 10k seater Urban venue event in November of year 1 using these short cards.
PS. I agree with you about Bill Bullock. The guy is a star tag team wrestler in my promotion.
That's probably a good idea early on for sure. If you get lucky with invited wrestlers and merchandise you can make money hand over fist. The original tutorial was more focused in financial gain than popularity because a lot of people seemed to struggle with staying afloat.
102 comes out today and covers some more tricks to getting popular and stealing other companies belts, because... y'know... shiny.
Yo facts Bill is a Star tag team in mine 😂
@@ItsJohnnyIVx Yeah he is as good as they come the entire 666 team worked out to kind of be my backbone.
Have you tried booking squash matches to raise a wrestler’s draw power? I would hope the game would reward booking guys strong in squash matches like Goldberg was booked. His matches early would have to be rated around 60% and he probably started with a C or D popularity but with A+ attack and defence and ended up being a draw. Or Ultimate Warrior who ended up being a huge draw.
It doesn't that's sort of the problem, the mode lacks any depth in that regard the math behind the engine is super simple. For example, wrestlers who are brand new and starting at a D have 0 popularity and are caped at 1.5 pop gain per match (not counting slight bonuses from being in title matches, those are like .5 - 1 point) in order to reach C you are required to have 20 for C rating. There is no bonus for winning over any particular opponent in any sort of way, what you get on that range of 0 - 1.5 is entirely based on match rating.
It's a very shallow system that hides the shallowness well. It doesn't make promoter unfun by any means but you have to take it for what it is and accept that you aren't going to get anything like a Gargano/Ciampa feud bumping pop or a goldberg streak bumping pop. They absolutely should but they don't for the most part Promoter is a money management mode.
Where it does excel is in the ability to add real world companies in and compete with them financially. Otherwise if you are looking for more of a GM mode experience the modpack on PC contains a mod called MotW that will allow you to book cards, track draw values, has random events, allows interview segments, has controllable outcomes/run-ins, and is basically vastly superior in every way, except for the competing financially with other feds.
Great tutorial man. You got a new sub from me. Keep up the good work.
Much appreciated, hopefully the content continues to help 102 of the tutorial is out now where we cover title stealing and gaining popularity.
So what happens when your scouts find a wrestler? Do you get them instantly or do they pop up in the free agency
They pop up in free agency so you essentially use it to repopulate the free agency pool as the game continues.
@@GamerUnderDev cheers for that. Been wondering about it for a while now
Awesome man, thanks. You did a great job explaining everything.
I play the title matches myself to ensure that they stay in my promotion. I wish you could choose who goes over when you sim the match though.
That is a feature sorely missing from the mode. The modpack adds it in but I'm not sure if it effects matches in Promoter or not.
@@GamerUnderDev They are releasing new DLC soon enough, fingers crossed that they update a feature like that in.
@@bgx3232 I saw a clip hinting at them adding in the ability to make belts which would be super amazing.
@@GamerUnderDev If there's any truth to that, that's awesome. I'll take what I can get, since this game still lacks content. Fire Promoter got repetitive quick.
@@bgx3232 Yeah Fire Promoter is really a console only mode for me. The mods on PC have MotW which is somewhat better of a promotion mode. I use the mods currently to make custom parts and am working on belts for the community eFed GFW but a built-in feature would save me time and frustration :)
Before I watched this I actually had no idea what TF I was doing.
This was amazing!
Glad that it helped :D There should be more tutorials coming very soon. Season one of our Fire Pro Community eFed show is nearing it's end and during the off-season I'll be doing a lot of tutorials and just videos showing how we make cool stuff for that show.
So, my question is do the promotions all come from your roster or are there only presets? I have rosters for WWE, TNA, and some CAWs (DC, Marvel, etc) and I may end up making my own CAWs, how does that all translate? Do my teams transfer over? At the moment I just have everyone in 2 teams: Face and heel
Are you still playing Fire Pro?
I've been trying to figure out how to change the wrestling style of my wrestlers to fit my promotion seeing as some have made the switch but other don't seem to want to, also the sponsers monthly fee is the money you receive? I always just thought you pay that because "fee" lol, great video.
RKOGaming thanks and yeah as far as I’ve seen if you book the wrestlers in the style you want long enough they will switch over, if I had to guess it’s probably like a flat percentage chance it will happen. I managed to make a guy strong style just by booking him in strong style matches for a long time.
@@GamerUnderDev Yeah I figured that's how it worked maybe my problem is I'm booking different styles in tag team matches or something but thanks for the reply good brother, 2 sweet to ya.
So we can't use real characters in this mode? Hinging my purchase on that.
Yes you can
40:53 you mean “first match of the night,” right :-)
Quick question to do with the actual wrestlers, with the NJPW DLC wrestlers is it possible to have those in fire promoters
Playlist Master yes it is hey they can be added in at the beginning like any other promotion. In order to have all of them you need the so called “Taichi Cheat”
My only Question is if I download Wrestlers can I add them to the promoter?
I Love your video, it's a lot detail that very useful, thx you
Glad to hear it helped, definitely check out Fire Promoter 102 for tips on raising popularity, booking the best financial outcome cards, and stealing titles :D
nice tutorial bro!
but i dont think you should have spend so much $ on your first month. esp at the gym
@@minecraft200 It ended up slowing us down for about a month but I always prioritize the gym because it reduces injuries and injured time recovery. When you have 6 wrestlers in the company if 2 go out for injury you are not making money that month.
You could prioritize the doctors in month one though and get the rest after you start putting on profitable shows. That being said my wrestlers in year two have become adept at stealing other promotions belts in cross-promotional events (because while I'm not highest on every chart my gym is the 3rd best in the world). Those stolen titles mean more title matches and more seats. I'm regularly filling arenas with $100 ticket prices now. Plus we got our first TV Deal which isn't that great and has no gameplay effect either than more money and an average match requirement.
This helped so much mate cheers!
Awesome video man this was helpful
Glad it helped I learned some more stuff since so I will probably be doing a Fire Promoter 102 as well.
First of all great tutorial :D! Is it in any way possible to decide the outcome of matches?
On PS4 you are limited by game mechanics, meaning you can either control the person you want to win the match or remove the ability for one wrestler to pin/sub someone from their logic.
On PC you have options, the modpack which is linked in the description of this video has a panel called "Match Pacing & Booking Options" which will allow you to set whom will win and how they will win.
Welcome to the community and if you enjoyed the Tutorial definitely check out our GFW series.
@@GamerUnderDev thanks, this helped me a lot :D
@@bombi2509 GUD ;) I'm glad it helped
After getting fire promoter. Do you have to be logged in all the time to play it or... can you play it offline??? That is my only question friends?!
Hey GUD would having a satellite tv deal increase my popularity in all 4 countries?
I tried to do everything but i got bankrupt at my first attempt
Im going to buy this tomorrow and get the Fire Promoter, I just wish the Champs entered wearing their belts and celebrated victories with the belts BUT this Promoter mode is awesome. Can you create custom promotions for the whole set up? Can you make it to were you compete with WWE ROH TNA ect or are you stuck with the ones they provide?
Yes on competing with custom promotions, however if you are getting it for PC maybe take a look at the modpack first as it's better than Promoter in many ways. Let me know which platform you are looking at and I can provide more info on what your limitations will be :D
@@GamerUnderDev PS4 thanks
@@supersteve76 On PS4 you'll be limited to things available on FPW Net and the official content released. In that case I would highly recommend Promoter mode, if you don't have any interest in Japanese wrestling you could skip the other DLCs however they do come with new parts and moves that you will have no other means to acquire and may be used by online creations you download (thus making them unusable without the appropriate DLC).
Still very much worth the money in my opinion, I just tend to recommend PC users look into the modpack before dumping cash into Promoter or other DLC (since it can pretty much replace everything those DLCs provide). You will be able to run Promoter mode with custom promotions modeled after Real World Promotions though which is quite fun.
@@GamerUnderDev Can you help me out here bro? I went a got Fire PWW for my PS4 and Im noticing that the display is too big, the edges of the screen are cut off, I cant read the text help at the bottom of the screen, its only with this game, my tv screen settings dont fix the problem and the PS4 setting dont have a fix either. Do you know what I can do to fix this or is it a bug that im stuck with???
@@supersteve76 Ummm if you can see it go to Options > System Settings > Screen Size and change it to your monitor/tvs resolution (usually 1920x1080). If you can't see it you can count the number of beeps from the "offline play" option. 5 beeps down is the options, then 3 beeps down is system settings, then 3 more beeps down is screen size and from there you can move up and down trying options till it fits your screen.
Hope that helps :\
kurt kidman look like an giant kurt angle
Ahahaha I wonder how many of their edits are like that.
I was working on mine today and three companies went out of business at once on month 6. Which completely sucks... because the belts and wrestlers are just gone now. Do the wrestlers stay gone after that? Or will they turn up again later? Also I have a roster of around 700 plus with guys from all over. Maybe I had too many signed to the rosters? I’m not sure. Maybe I should place half in free agents half on the companies.
To my knowledge the wrestler pool is set at the beginning of a save and it doesn't really generate new ones, rather it reveals them as the game goes so it would make sense for them to reappear. However, the modpack on PC has an option to make bankrupt companies wrestlers available as free agents which makes me think the base game doesn't include that feature :(
I have heard that starting rival promotions with too many workers will bankrupt them quickly like that I had something like 80 people in NOAH and they have hung in there but I'm not sure what the upward limit on roster size should be. Promoter is a fun mode but there are a lot of common sense things they seemed to have ignored (like the bankruptcies).
GUD yeah it’s a good mode for sure my first one went through to almost two years with no incident. But I restarted because I had new edits I wanted to use. And this time it changed. So maybe it just depends on their starting salaries and size or it’s a bit random I take it on if they succeed or not. But I’m going to add more guys to the FA pool this time around and maybe things will pan out a bit better.
GUD thanks for the reply dude.
@@BiLLz66614 Yeah I was talking to someone today who had NOAH fold after like a month with a similar number of edits to me so I guess it just depends, one thing that might have helped in my playthrough is that I use the modpack with contract lengths so it may have set a bunch of dudes to like 2 months left on contract and then they went free agent or something.
@@BiLLz66614 I always do my best to reply to everyone. Sometimes I miss some peoples posts but I always try to go back to my comments section and filter to unresponded to comments and catch up :)
I just downloaded promoter but it won't show on my Firepro wrestling game. Does it take a while to download??
When creating a custom promotion. Do the lvls of the promotions and the start off salary assets benefit that corresponding promotion or does everyone have a fair start regardless of salary cap and start off roster number?
I actually haven't made one using my own custom promotions yet. I'll take a look tonight but I would say that everything probably scales based off number of wrestlers on the roster. However if you are setting up a real world promotions in my experience they kind of police themselves as far as larger shows generally having larger rosters. Especially if you make sure every wrestler is unique in the game world.
I was working on setting up an RL Promoter mode with my community efed and I will check tonight when I'm home from work and get back to you.
@@GamerUnderDev sweet thanks man. Awesome tutorial btw. I've learned alot from this video alone. Cant wait until Fire promoter 102 comes out, so eager to check it out
@@alexperez1320 It's up and the wait as they say... is over :D
Can we do battle royals in promoter mode 😀
Hello! Me again. How do I make cross promotion \ Traid with the other companies?
To make a cross-promotional event you go to event > cross-promotion and offer it to the company. They may turn you down for a variety of reasons.
In order to trade talent the best option is to partner with a company via human resources > broker contract. Once again they may turn you down.
As a last resort you can simply invite their talent or loan your talent to them doing either should raise the companies opinion of you making the former two options easier.
I'm new to this game,when setting up my promotion I set certain guys like doink to free agents but hes never listed under free agents or any brand🤔happens with random wrestlers...I understand theres a limit for signed guys as promotions get lower but is there a free agent limit or anyone know why certain wrestlers i pick for free agents just dissapear:(?
I honestly haven't messed with the free-agent pool too much and I'm not sure how it works. I may poke at it a bit tonight and see what I can see. If you did want to include them all on your roster there is the Taichi cheat. When selecting difficulty and number of rivals, hold L1+L2 (or PC counter parts). The modpack also has a toggle for it.
great video, you sound like the professor (the street basketball guy) lol
I will take that as a compliment, I'm glad the video helped.
Awesome guide!
Thx for the tutorial, it was relly helpfull
Glad that it helped :D
The fact that wrestlers can just... not show up - just straight up no show without consequences seems ridiculous to me.
You can book handicap matches
LOL I was not aware
One of my tag team champions got injured so I needed to put together a match so I decided to make a non-title handicap match
Do you know if you can create a women’s division for your promotion? I’ve been wondering about that
Well you can create custom titles, so you could make a woman's title and only allow women to compete for it but that's probably the closest you can get
Thank you for the help, any other advice or do I have to wait for the next video
I don't know if there will be another video. I don't know if there is much depth left to the mode to be honest. If you have any questions you can always feel free to shoot them to me here, on Twitter, or via Discord though and I will answer them to the best of my ability.
If I do learn anything new and worth covering then I will consider additional videos to share stuff. I made this one because I wanted to test out the most efficient way to book the cards (moneywise), the popularity being related to match outcomes (thus the importance of good attack/defense params), and the inviting people for title steals.
@@GamerUnderDev I completely understand but maybe the game developers will hopefully continue to develop this mode because this something other wrestling games like WWE 2K is lacking
@@WestendoJr1 Oh absolutely, in my opinion this and the 2K series are in completely separate leagues, unfortunately Spikechunsoft has a bit of a bad record with FPWW. To the point Japanese pro-wrestler Taichi basically called the CEO of the company out on television. That being said while I don't suspect much to be modified about Fire Promoter there are thankfully modders for those on PC.
Carlzilla and the rest of the modders in his Discord community are incredible. Fire Promoter has been out ~1 week and they have already fixed not being able to select a ring for your Promoter company and not being able to import new wrestlers into an existing promoter mode.
Whether it be via Spike or via the modders in my humble opinion FPWW will be vastly superior to last years, this years, and more than likely next years WWE2K (I basically stopped playing 2K when they started putting moves into lootboxes -_-)
Does it matter if a wrestler is on a stable?
Squang JP it can stables can get a random event where they get over and sell a bunch of merch plus the fastest way to build pop is be in title matches and multiperson matches mean a bunch of people potentially in a title match
Could i make a all women’s promotion?
I won’t pay ANYone $1500 just negotiate. That’s just crazy, to me. (Proceeds to lay a Free Agent $1500 just to negotiate)

I think gud should run the wwe maybe they will have better quality wrestling
As ironic as this is, that's why I started GFW. I wanted to challenge myself to work with a roster of people on their characters and stories, get them over without the use of jobbers, and with long-term booked stories. So far it's been a rollercoaster but as we're heading into season 3 we've paid off on 2 year long stories, everyone who has stayed active and engaged with their characters is seeing that reflected on the show, and while some of our wrestlers do have a losing record (because it's unavoidable) I don't feel that anyone on our roster is a jobber (in the sense that on any given night any one of our wrestlers legitimately feels like a threat).

deadlegs187 yes you can if you check out my GFW vs the World series I have added in 16 real world companies including WWE, Impact, RoH, NOAH, Progress, and a bunch more
GUD I've just downloaded :) nice T shirt
deadlegs187 Why thank you, love me some Misfits 🙂
You just sold this DLC for them.
how do i build popularity of a single wrestler?
They need to have good matches, place them up against your highest attack/defense wrestlers. To build pop in other regions send them on training expeditions there or loan them to a company in that region and hope they have a good match.
Match eval is largely based on the attack/defense stats when simming the matches, the higher the match eval the more popularity they gain. You can also invite highly popular wrestlers from other promotions and if your guy wins over them they can steal some pop.
@@GamerUnderDev Thank you so much for the advice. You are so awesome dude and tbh that video right there made me fall in love with this game mode. I am having too much fun with this mode now and it is all because of you dude. So thanks again man! :)
@@rockleestar1 That's awesome I'm glad to hear it, hopefully we can get one of your created wrestlers for our GFW community Promoter Playthrough :D
Is S better then the A?
KaijudoMaster11 yes it is
@@GamerUnderDev Thanks!
KaijudoMaster11 Absolutely let me know if you have any other questions and welcome to the community 🙂
@@GamerUnderDev Thank you! 💯🙂
Make more FPW vids!
More incoming soon I even have an e-fed that I've been having trouble finding time to arrange that I'm considering putting into Fire Promoter. If I did so we could take user edits for the fed even easier.
global professional wrestling (gpw)
LOL I didn't figure that out at all thanks :D
GUD you’re welcome
Why is it not on my steam version pc
The version in the video is the steam version, it's a DLC though so if you haven't purchased it then it won't be available.
GUD thank you so much for the clarification!!!! Appreciate it
"Early on I'm not gonna pay ANYBODY just to talk to them"
Proceeds to do just that. Not the brightest bulb are we....
I said not going to pay anybody "that" (I think) I wasn't willing to pay $1500 to talk to someone uninterested I believe if I recall correctly we spent $500 to talk to someone more likely to sign as you can't really talk to people completely free, but good catch. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial regardless.
This isn't a very good tutorial at all. You never spend money you don't have and by year 2 you should have well over 2mil not less than 500k
Krontok well considering this came out just after release and was designed to help people that were bankrupting in the first couple months I would say it’s decent. Also having 2mil doesn’t matter to me. Having facilities to reduce injuries and grow my talent was honestly more important money can come later. (By year three I had the best facilities in the world)
There is a 102 where we talk a bit more about other aspects and I know even more about some of the popularity mechanics now. If you had 2mil and you were killing it in year yep that’s good, you probably don’t need this then. 102 is about title stealing and cross-promotion.
We’re also doing a 16 company playthrough right now where we started with the Taichi cheat and burned the money back down to the normal starting cash. That is a bit more challenging as you don’t have the popularity to book great cards.
Welcome to the community sorry the tutorial is a bit dated.
Thanks dude! This helped a lot!
