Instead of taking shots in the ring, start calling the shotsbackstage! Assume control of a given promotion and set about makingit your own by changing the gimmicks of the wrestlers. Then deployyour talent in cards of your own creation - complete withsophisticated ratings that measure the entertainment you'reproviding. As a fully playable wrestling management sim, it's alsoyour responsibility to put the right person over in the right wayat the right time for maximum impact! But with a locker room fullof egos and rival promotions fighting to beat you in the ratings,your dream job could turn into a nightmare.Upgrade to "Pro" tostart at a promotion of your choice with full privileges - such ashiring new talent. This also grants you access to the editor, whereyou can save your changes to all 350 characters across all 9promotions to create your own universe. You can then enjoy actingout your own dream matches with no pressure in "Exhibition" modewith immortals who are always at full health. The following guideassumes that you are familiar with the basic controls from theprevious game in the series:RATINGS SYSTEMThe key ingredients to a"good" match are as follows:- The "Popularity" of the wrestlersinvolved determines how much the fans will care about theiractions. It affects their overall enthusiasm for the match, as wellas how much they will "pop" for key moments (such as a near fall).In some instances, it is "Strength" that determines howentertaining an attack is, etc.- The purple vial indicates whetherthere is a Face-Heel "chemistry" between a good guy and a bad guy.Without this, the match may lack meaning (although especiallypopular or talented wrestlers can overcome it). Wrestlers who arefriends in real life may also have automatic chemistry.- The greenscales indicate whether the match is evenly "balanced" or not. Fanswill quickly lose interest if one person dominates and they are notconvinced that anybody could win at any moment. It is important tokeep an eye on the health meters and make sure there is someback-and-forth.- The clock grows increasingly solid, indicatingthat the match is running is too long. The fans have a limitedattention span depending on the scale of the match. It is notimpossible to make gains after boredom has set it, but it'scertainly harder. Note that the last minute of a match ceases to beboring! Long-sighted bookers can use this for exciting time limitdraws.- The skull & crossbones indicates that the match isrelying too much on extreme violence. Fans can become desensitizedto this after a while and it will lose its impact. The damage isnot permanent though, and faith can be restored if you lay off theweapons.- A flame around the rating indicates that there is anestablished rivalry that the fans are getting a kick out of seeing.This enhances their enthusiasm for the match - as well as providingpre-match "hype" (a better starting score). You can use promos tocreate rivalries if they do not happen naturally. - The overallscore for a show is the average of all the matches on the card -with the "main event" being twice as significant as all the others.It is slightly more generous than the rating for a single match, asit is not expected that every match on the card will be a classic.A 5-star show may be one full of 4-star matches!I regret that thereis more to this game than I could ever explain here! I hope youenjoy figuring some things out for yourself.* Please note this gamedepicts a fictitious universe and is not affiliated with any realwrestling promotions.

This music industry sim has gone platinum - celebrating over 1MILLION downloads!Bring your MP3 collection to life with animatedperformances as you embark on a career in music. Form your own bandby recruiting talent from over 150 artists across 6 unique labels,or enjoy creating your own stars with the editor. Then record hitsthat will top the charts and take them on the road to over 20different venues - including authentic reviews and news reportsthat determine your legacy. Like "A Rockstar At My Hamster" for the21st century, Popscene leaves no stone unturned to do for musicwhat Wrestling Revolution did for wrestling! The game is free todownload, with the option to purchase a "backstage pass" for evenmore content.* Please note that the MP3 player function may not becompatible with some devices. If this affects you, consider turningoff MP3 music in the options.PLAYING GUIDE:Popscene divides themusic making process into entertainment (represented by stars) andartistry (represented by hearts). As in real life, popular music ismore likely to shoot up the charts and draw fans - but withoutsubstance, the success may be short-lived. Each of the game's manyartists has the following attributes that influence this process:-POPULARITY is the artist's ability to draw fans to entertainingcontent.- REPUTATION is their ability to draw fans to artisticcontent.- PERFORMANCE is their ability to perform entertainingsongs live.- TALENT is their ability to perform artistic songslive.- PRODUCTION is their ability to compose entertaining music.-WRITING is their ability to compose artistic music.- HAPPINESS isthe pleasure they currently get from their work.- ATTITUDEindicates how likely they are to either contribute or causetrouble.This is a band management sim, and as a band manager it isyour job to recruit stars from the music biz. Each week, dependingon the size of your team and their collective attitude, new songsmay be recorded. Each member of the team contributes their score toa new song, and whoever scores the highest will be credited withmaking it. Members who are dedicated backstage staff willcontribute twice instead of once - inc the chances of a good songbeing written.Once songs exist, it is the on-stage performers whomust bring it to life. As with writing, each band member on stagecontributes their score and the highest determines how well thesong was received in each category. This time, it is the "frontman"who gets to contribute twice instead of once - so consider who isat the forefront.The overall rating for a show is the average ofall the songs performed - albeit slightly more generous so thatperfection is not required. This is also true of album reviews. A5-star performance may consist of consistent 4-star contributions.Reviews are where your performances feed back into the stats thatproduced them, because each attribute will rise or fall to reflectwhat just happened.When booking venues, you must consider how muchit will cost versus how much you are likely to recoup. Tickets aresold at $5 per song so it depends how long your set is. You willreceive a percentage of this revenue, and must then use that to payyour employees and any other expenses. Singles are sold at $1 eachwhereas albums are sold at $1 per song for a maximum of $10(cha-ching!). If you have a week of inactivity, you may find thatyou make a loss because of the expenses of your lifestyle (whichreflects your wealth). On the independent scene, you take a largerchunk of lower revenue so you will have to migrate to a major labeleventually.I regret there is more to this game than I could everexplain here, so enjoy figuring some things out for yourself!
