I would like to say this, because I see that most things on here are about bugs or things that go wrong. I love this game and that is the reason I am on here all the time. I would like to say thank you Mark for all the work you have put into making such an addictive game. It really does amaze me that you, by all accounts, just 1 guy have done this and don't really ask for a single dime. I search all over for games like this and if I do find them, they have to be bought and don't have half the promise The Road 2 Success has. I thank you for all your lost hours of personal life working on this game so I can have many hours of enjoyment playing. Thanks Mark.

A patch came out and I have a bunch of things gone. I have Swift in the middle of a tour, this is not been all wiped out. Anyway to get this to come back or is this just how it is?

Yeah, I can see that an artist would get worn down as a long tour goes on, that's what I thought the ENERGY STAT indicated. So I figured, if that ran very low, you could see things happen on tour, like a bad performance or even a canceled show. I am trying to figure out why is it that a LIVE stat is 92, TOUR PRACTICE is 100 and her energy stat is 100 and the first and 2nd show are 61/100 performance and 53/100 performance? What is everything that goes into a tour? How do you get a 100/100 performance, does it even matter? Why care about your tour stat and getting that to 100 if you can only get 60/100? Is there something bad that happens for low tour performances? Is there something good that happens for high rated performances? I'm trying to figure this game out and I don't want to wast my time trying to get the best performances on tour if there really isn't a way to do it. Thank you for the help.

Just a question, what goes into making a tour performance? I see tour practice and Live in stats. I understand now that I need to get tour practice up, but I ran a tour with tour practice at 6 and performance was around 30-40. I now started a tour with Taylor Swift. I have tour practice at 100 and she has a live stat of 92, her show performance on this tour is around 45-59. So how do you get 100 or something high, like 80 or higher?

Does the LIVE stat ever increase? Also, I have a 25 date tour going and I notice the artist TOUR PRACTICE is going down. Can this be changed? Seems very odd that someone who is on tour would get worse at touring. I would think this should go up as the tour goes on. You often hear about an artist on tour has their worst performance or problems early on, but by the end of the tour it's nearly flawless.

I don't know if this would be considered a festival or just a random event that would take place, but having a new years eve event for each country would be cool. Same a most things, random artists or bands would perform giving them a boost to reputation and possibly some hype to the song(s) they perform?

I'm trying to do a video of a song that is scheduled for release. I forgot what tempo it is and I can't seem to find how to see it anywhere. It would be dumb to do a concept video of to people falling in love if the song had a upbeat tempo. My suggestion would have the songs tempo shown when I am looking at singles details in my artist tabs.

My artist is Taylor Swift.

I have a post about this, but I don't see where it was addressed. I had an artist have a tour, the tour tab showed that the artist income was something like 35 mil. On the artist financial tab, it shows 0 money for tour ticketing or tour merchandise. Also, the opening acts didn't make any money either. Also, when I'm writing this, on the artists tour tab, that tour has now disappeared.

Finished a tour, as a label I got my cut. The artist headlining the tour got no money, it shows 0 for tour ticketing, merchandise and her income did not increase at all. Also, opening acts should make some money on at least merchandise too, I didn't see either opening act money increase at all either.

Here's my next question. I see the financial information, it shows the artist income, I look at my artist and they didn't get that income. Where did that income go? As the label, I got mine, but I don't see it showing up on the artist income. Is this a bug? Thanks.

I didn't even know there was a tour practice stat that I could look at. After you mentioned it, I went looking and found it. Her tour practice stat is currently 6/100. So I would assume that's bad. lol What does a low tour practice stat do? Also, what does low tour performance do to the artist? Thank you.

A few questions if anyone could answer please. Touring, I set it up and added 2 opening acts from my own label. 1) What does being a opening act do for that artist? 2) Is Tour Practice a must and is more practice better? 3) Should the opening acts Tour Practice as well? Right now I'm seeing very low tour performance, I only Tour practiced 2 days right before the tour started. I don't see anything happening to the opening artists and I actually think I can book them on shows, which I would think they wouldn't be able to do until after the tour is over. Anyone shed a little light on touring for me please?

I did a audition, I got a report about a artist says he's a star in the making. I signed him. He gets a huge endorsement deal, something like $500,000. He wrote and produced a song, set a release date and now still, after 4 weeks he has 0 followers on facebook and twitter. How is this even remotely realistic? Is this a bug? I just don't know what I'm supposed to expect. How do you increase followers? I've done blog videos, I don't even know if those are getting done since I see nothing on their schedule about a video. Is my only option about building reputation paying shows to put him on?

It would be nice to have the current date shaded or something on an artists schedule showing the current date. Example, I click on an artist, then schedule, and there the current date would be shaded a color or a box around it highlighting the current date.

I don't know if this is how this is supposed to be, but each week in my game, the report is the same thing, it doesn't seem to change. At least I know my artist keep showing up about a show that they did over 4 weeks now.

I'm obviously new. How do you play? Let me start by saying I started a label, I started it with 2 mill in cash, and 1 artist. I signed 1 other artist, I signed heads to all my division in staff and made 1 excellent staff member. I don't know if all of this is is a good thing or a bad thing, I see nothing that tells me. Mind you, the game started by giving me some sort of penalty for not having staff, even though I had no ability to sign staff until the 1st day. So after all this, I had my 1 artist make songs, then I produced a song, then I wanted to release the song as a single. Again, I'm not sure if this is the logical next step, but I thought I should try and get some songs out there. When I tried to release the single, my saw my total expense to do this was around 3 mill. I only have 1.3 mill. So what am I supposed to do to make money? Bank loan is for only 300,000. Just trying to figure the game out, looks very cool, but I see nothing that helps me figure out what I'm supposed to do. Anyone have any tips to help a VERY new person to this game? Thank you!
