Did MyGM for the first time. Completed the first PPV and I don't know that I made any real headway in the rankings. There's a lot to track, it seems.

Yeah it’s fairly in-depth.
Some tips that might be useful: Fill your rosters with “pairs”, by which I mean if you have a face cruiser, you need a heel giant to pair them with. I think I often doubled up so that I had 2 cruisers and 2 giants on whatever face/heel side, e.g. Mysterio (Face Cruiser), Escobar (Heel Crusier), Keith Lee (Face Giant), WALTER (Heel Giant). That let’s you do Mysterio vs. WALTER and Escobar vs. Lee, and Mysterio & Lee vs. Escobar & WALTER. Then turn Escobar face and Lee heel and you can do Mysterio vs Lee, Escobar vs WALTER, and Mysterio & Escobar vs Lee & WALTER. That’s 6 feuds from 4 guys without the game getting “bored” of the feud. Variety is key. You need a mix of genders, classes, and match types to make an interesting card. Doing this will elevate your rating. Be cautious of running tag matches to try and progress singles feuds as this doesn't work, it just starts a new tag feud. Buy Spa cards when you get the chance as these help with stamina. On that note, promos use less stamina than matches and can be used to start/elevate feuds. There is no stamina hit for being the one that is “called out” so if you’ve got 2 guys in a feud and one is real low on stamina, use the other guy to cut the promo. I’ve not tried getting a feud to level 4 through promos alone, might try that next time. You need to be building 4 feuds at a time really (except for Mania where you get a 5 match card), aiming for them to land on PPV at a level 4 rivalry, this will end the feud and you’ll get a boost to the rating. You can end feuds on TV but you don’t get the bonus. It can pay off to end Level 4 rivalries on TV to get a good rating for that show however. I’ve not tried this but in theory, if you have a big enough roster, you could be working on 8 rivalries to pay off at alternate PPVs in order to conserve stamina, but I think managing the popularity of at least 16 stars could be tricky. You can “rest” a feud for a week or so which keeps it at the level it’s at. So if you’ve got the feud to Level 4 too early you can rest both guys/the feud for a week, this helps with stamina/injuries. On popularity, the more “over” your stars are the better rating they will get, so pairing 2 popular stars gets the best payoff. A quick boost to popularity can be achieved by putting the title on someone. For example, I needed to feud my womens champion with someone new but the only person that matched from a class pov was very low on popularity. Setup a title match, played through and made the less popular heel the champ. This has a hit on your now former champ but they should still be at like 60+ popularity and your new champ is now boosted up so you have 2 60+ stars in a rivalry rather than a 70+ vs a 40+. Keep an eye on those popularity levels. I brought in a legend to feud with my champ, they became champ themselves then dropped the title before their contract ended but then I noticed they were by far my most popular star in the division so I ended up keeping them around. Money doesn’t matter. Spend wisely so that you can run consistently good shows but the aim of the game is to get fans, not make money. Only do commissioner tasks if it’s worth it. If you need or want the card then do it but if it ruins your plans, don’t. Remember the promises you’ve made. On a few occasions I made promises to talent and then forgot to deliver. This affects how happy they are and can lead to them leaving the brand. Use the “notes” section to double check your promises every week. |

Apparently the Starrcade 1996 arena is in the game because Rey vs. Jushin Liger was meant to be in the game for Showcase mode, and then Liger had to get pulled out for whatever reason.
They at least left Liger's mask in the creation suite for easy CAW making but damn. |

I really hate the run mechanic. Been bad since HCTP. Smackdown and KYR had it right and just needed adjustments in momentum.

Got v close to the 5-star match too. |

MyGM is an extra level of tough if you try and book Tag titles for men and women, you need a big roster to help manage stamina and have enough parts to play with. It’s also tricky as you can only build tag rivalries via matches as you can’t do call outs, and run-ins cause a 1v1 rivalry instead of a tag one. Of course, you don’t need to have tag titles.
And tbf, I do tend to “handicap” myself by trying to have a realistic roster (I.E. only pick up legends that could plausibly still appear). |

FFS.
Don’t know what they’ve done with the latest patch but every time I try to load my MyGM save 24 weeks in the game crashes. Started a new one…same thing. |

I've been getting a graphics card error a lot. Happened every ~25 minutes - mid-match, on a menu, loading after I finished a match (meaning I had to redothe match) - whenever. Didn't happen yesterday so maybe I'm good now?

From what I can tell from a quick YouTube search (2K support barely useful), it happens when you book back-to-back Call Out promos with the same characters on the same show (E.g. Brock calls out Reigns, then Reigns calls out Brock).
Started again, again. |

Just played through a full year without the game crashing so I think the above is likely to be the issue.
Won the season finishing on 3.5m fans. Managed to book 8 4/4 rivalries heading into Mania ![]() Had to cut Goldberg vs Miz, Lesnar vs. Rollins, and Shotzi/Morgan vs. Tamina/Gonzalez for the Womens Tag titles. Also should have had Big E/Kofi vs. WALTER/Aichner for the tag titles but I accidentally paid that off at Fastlane. Managed to veto one of their champs, their most popular star, and a random other. Also had power cards for Hell In A Cell, Extreme Rules, and TLC matches. It all came together in a nice crescendo. Women’s Championship Extreme Rules Beth Phoenix vs. Tegan Nox (5 stars) Hell In A Cell Reigns vs. HBK (4 stars) Tables Match Orton vs. Lashley (4 stars) Hell in A Cell Match “King of Kings” HHH vs. “Prince” Balor (5 stars) Universal Championship TLC Match McIntyre vs. Priest (5 stars) Shame you can’t carry on past Mania. |

Nice! I think I'll be able to pay off a level 4 feud at the next PPV. Hoping that will get me the 5-star match achievement.

I could have done with a Night 2!
Raw’s card ended up being really poor with their main event being the highest rated match at 3.5 stars. They still gained 200,000+ fans though. |

I found that the crew and arena bonuses really help because I put on kind of a lackluster show and still won by like 500 fans.

Yeah I amassed a prettty decent roster tbf. Couldn’t even find a spot for Cena, brought Trish Status in but couldn’t fit her in anywhere. I think I was originally trying to get to Phoenix vs. Charlotte at Mania but the feud just wouldn’t start and I already had Phonenix/Nox at Level 3 as it didn’t pay off at Fastlane for some reason.
I’d previously run DX vs The Shield in the tag division. That was fun. |

I saw that King Booker was available now. Didn't have time to look for any others.
The game did run much slower than usual, though ![]() |

Yeah they’re all in there. Suffering from a lot of crashes at the minute. Crashed trying to download an image from community creations, crashed trying to create a belt, crashed trying to assign a picture to an alt attire. Frustrating.

Didn't have any crashes today (only played for like a half hour) but movements were either really slow or guys stopped moving entirely during matches.

New DLC is live too. Played as Boogeyman last night which was fun. Supposedly the commentary’s been updated to include the new DLC people.
