i have just started trying out the promoter mode. i see that you can only have one match type for all 10 matches. very bummed out about that. why would anyone want 10 steel cage matches on a card? lol. no ring designs? im not sure how you wouldn't be able to have the ring designs i have and just put them on the rings in the promoter? im not a programmer so maybe its difficult to do. also, it says that i have to run high rated matches in order to run a tournament? is there a way around this? i want to have a tournament to determine my first champions. maybe im going about it wrong. i just dont want to grab 2 wrestlers and have them go for a vacant title. i like to have a tournament and have everyone have a chance to win the title for the first time. not sure if im explaining myself correctly! Sadly you must presume a lot of this stuff because of what was on Spike's mind with the mode. I think this is surely based in Small and Medium companies running monthly shows and rapidly building storylines. So you must play in that mindset, like a Big Event every month. It's kinda infuriating because of the obvious western and TV wrestling approach: monthly is alien shit today, you want some weekly development and shows. But is not that bad. Celebrate a tournament by your own and do the finals in Fire Promoter. The mode won't even notice it anyway. |

Not really. Most indy promotions are running monthly, or bi or tri monthly. It's just the bigger promotions that run more often. Stuff like MLW *probably* runs once a month and tapes TV all in one night. They just held a taping here last night. But though, Spike could've allowed the possibility to run more shows in a month as you grew to a certain level. But however, that could've sucked without storyline development. Stuff like 2k's WWE Universe mode is great for weekly shows because there's actual storylines involved. For how Fire Pro, it's probably for the best to keep it at once a month. |

Stuff like 2k's WWE Universe mode is great for weekly shows because there's actual storylines involved. For how Fire Pro, it's probably for the best to keep it at once a month. One monthly show is the only real abstraction that works for every promotion without making things extremely complicated. A lot of promotions in Japan don't even have TV anymore, and just have shows that pop up randomly on their streaming services. The amount of shows can vary per month, and they often go on hiatus for budget reasons. NJPW seems to just do tours and airs every show as cannon on their network service. They have a US show that just runs with whatever. ROH runs TV tapings that air syndicated and then does proper pay per views. SHIMMER runs tapings every month and then trickles out releases of those events over time. STAMPEDE Wrestling just showed whatever. Everything good happened on arena shows and they mostly weren't televised. No angle payoffs. Then you have WWE that does 127 hours weekly cannon TV with several non cannon live shows every week. The WWE method is actually the outlier here. They now do weekly episodic TV for the sake of it and it's one of their many diverse incomes. Most guys do TV as paid advertising style programming to increase live show attendance. You would have every different promotion playing by different rules. With completely different ways of earning income, and handling rosters finances. |

The mode won't even notice it anyway. yeah, i waws going to run a tournament out of it and then continue in promoter. i have been running shows on my own once a week and recording them, editing videos. i have some champions but was going to start over new but i might just continue with the promoter mode. ive been just using spreadsheets and writing everything down and making rankings, events, etc. doing it old school! |

Okay age definitely matters. One of my upper card guys just unexpectedly retired. Checked his birthdate after the fact and it was 1900. He was a grim reaper-esque character. The same month kenta kobashi(in another Fed) also retired. Now I'm worried about other vets I have. I've seen guys retire but I've also not noticed anyone age In year 5 I noticed a Free Agent that was 20, the youngest wrestler I've seen, & when I rolled into year 6 he was still 20 ETA: I think that's me being thick, they obviously have birthdays lol |

Since one of my chaps captured the MWA Jnr title, they keep sending Luchas over to me to obviously try & win it back. I could be arse & stick him in the opener against some cannon fodder but I oblige. In 3 attempts, they've failed which makes me feel kinda bad but my relationship with MWA is rated as Good so it's all good fun.
Love the little things like this

As i've added new edits and deleted some, i'll start again the promoter mode but know i'm a little more expert as i know my previous mistakes such as not building a solid partnership with another fed.
Now i'm ready and thrilled to start again but i want to try different setting: 16 promotions and difficult on normal or hard, can someone explain me the main differents between normal and hard difficult?

With the way the ages are calculated from real DOB, if you do a Monday Night Wars type of save, will you get WCW main eventers retiring left right and centre due to their current ages being 60+? Is DDP going to hit a cutter and crumble to dust?

I've run for 4 season a promoter mode with a lot of over 60+ wrestlers. After 4 season only a couples of over 60+ retired (Kevin Nash retired too i dont remember if he his more then 60years old) and SOME 40+ like Hirooki Goto.
So i dont know if retiring is related to aging

Is DDP going to hit a cutter and crumble to dust? For what it's worth, I have a nearly 70 year old Roland Chang Sr. on my roster of originals, and he seems to be doing quite well, maintaining a relatively high value for a low point edit and putting on good matches, so while this may be an issue in the long term(I fear for what happens if I do a run with some of my older boxers and such), it doesn't seem to impact the short term at all. |

In nL's Fire Promoter stream, Terry Funk is pulling off instant classics at 75.
Speaking of which, after watching them sim Owens and Okada having an absolutely wild King's Road style match, I would love to have the option to set match-style AI outside of Promoter Mode.

Does the match style actually effect the AI or is it just effecting the Match Rating criteria?
