I love this. I always have the least fun in TEW when it feels ‘gamey’ and when I start making ‘gamey’ decisions, so will definitely keep this in mind. Cheers!

I reckon you’ve totally changed the way I’m gonna play the game there. Thanks so much for sharing!</p>

What do you all do to make your game ‘realistic’? For example, when playing a real world mod I’ll follow the booking that happened IRL for at least the first month to replicate the ‘settling in phase’ when someone starts a job in reality, meaning I’m not only taking over from a real point in history but am able to sit back and watch the current plan unfold and plan my own adjustments and improvements. What do you do in-game to make the whole experience feel more realistic, especially with RW mods? Do you play theme music? Create entrance specific angles for each wrestler? Do you only hire wrestlers that worked in the company IRL? Would love to hear your ideas and things that work for you!

Thanks so much to you all, this is so useful! Keep it coming people, is much appreciated

I’m absolutely loving it and am more into my save than I’ve ever been before. TEW 2016 is completely obsolete to me and I’m addicted to this game. The game world just feels so alive and unpredictable. One very happy customer here!

Wow, this game is just incredible. Makes 2016 unplayable imo as every single change add up to make a massively improved game.

Will buy as soon as I can and can’t wait to do so. Loving the game this year and blows TEW 2016 out of the water so much that I can’t ever return to it.

Totally agree! Incredible to have a team that are working so relentlessly on improving the game.

I totally feel that man - this game has helped me in similar ways and I know everything people are saying only comes from a good place and wanting this awesome series to be even more awesome. It’s really important we mention issues and share our concerns, I just sometimes worry about the tone we drift into (often accidentally) and the fact there’s one dude with all of this on their shoulders. I’m just so grateful this game even exists ha! Take care man.

I get that we all love this game but some of the replies and the ways people talk about Adam and his work are nothing short of entitled. Compare this to WWE’s 2K series. You can tell Adam truly cares about the quality of the product and I have faith that he’s doing all he can to make it as good as possible as quickly as he can. I’m not saying we can’t make requests and give feedback but surely we can all remember this is mainly one dude making a computer game that gives so many people lots of happiness and enjoyment. Especially in the current circumstances, a little bit of kindness and consideration of the human behind the game would go a long way I reckon!

This doesn’t seem like a helpful observation. As a few others have said, I’ve been playing and lurking since the EWR days but just never felt compelled to setup an account until now. Don’t think using how many posts someone has on a message board to separate where someone’s opinion might be coming from is that helpful. Big, big fan of this game and think it’s the best in the series so far.

Game isn’t out on Thursday any more sadly

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, went into the editor and removed hard user etc. Doesn’t even improve when I turn ‘Lifestyle Effects’ off in the editor. No idea how to solve this one. It’s still 6-8 people each show.

Can anyone offer any help on why in my converted 1994 RW mod I’m getting 6-8 workers turn up too drunk or high to work and being sent home on every show? I’ve made sure they don’t have Heavy Drinker, Heavy Drug User etc but no improvement. I know it was the 90s and there was a lot of that going on but it’s making it unplayable having 6-8 top guys sent home every single show. Thanks in advance for the help!
