Looks like this update might be the last one to use before AEW becomes a very difficult promotion to manage 😅

I would have loved a KTB database with all the 2020 bells and whistles included for a Dynamite save. Better yet a January 2019 save with AEWs inception. Don't know how you would future set up the TNT deal though.

SWEET!

Oh you tease!

Is there a set release schedule you are looking to use Gaz? Like once a month, twice a month or will you just do them as and when they're ready? This is a massive ask I will go ahead anyway…is it possible that there could be an alternative picture pack that doesn’t have the names/country flags? I do love the addition of these; however, it does make it tricky to phase in some free pics as they stick out like a sore thumb. Hoping it could be less taxing than creating a load of future workers.

Just installed this and it is great! Thank you. If you do plan to expand, it would be good to see some more masked workers, although that might be difficult to do. Great job

I have no where near enough talent like all you creative guys have on this forum so this will be purely for personal use

Been hunting for something like this for the past week or so. This will be a great addition to any RW mod pack. Thank you.

I have yet to have the AI change Booker. I am not against Cody or any of the EVPs having decent booking skills, more just that Tony should have at least some. Yep! Pricey!

That's fine, seems like a good gig

Excellent. Perhaps a couple of things that could be tweaked or changed. I am not sure Cody being the Head Booker for AEW is correct. As time goes on, I hear more about how the Bucks, Kenny & Cody all contribute to the writing and booking, but the final say sits with TK. The EVPs should have some booking skill/rep assigned, but I think TK should be Head Booker and Owner and have some booking rep/skill given to reflect this. It certainly feels like since the New Year he has taken the reigns a bit. I don't know if the wages for some people need looking at but Jake Roberts, Dean Malenko, Arn Anderson and Tully are 6-9 top paid in the company, above the Bucks, Brodie Lee, Matt Hardy etc. JR is third, but I can imagine he is expensive so probably nothing to tweak. Anyway, as usal this is top drawer, thank you.

The mod is awesome, really enjoying it. This feels like a betryal, but would there be any reason why another RW Pic Pack would not work with KTB? The reason I ask is for new workers being assigned pictures when the appear. With the amount of work you have put in, I assume it is not possible to get a decent set of free pics? Cheers

If it happens again I'll remember to put what patch version I am running.

Top work again Gaz. Anyone else getting a critical database error when they try start a new game? Error: Broadcasting Deal 'NXT UK / BT' is for a TV Show that does not belong to the deal's company (NXT). Simple fix, just updated the company for the mentioned contract to NXT UK, but you might want to take a look Gaz and see if its widespread or you'll have a flood of contact

<p>Having watched the likes of Chris Jericho & Jon Moxley work for AEW (exclusively in North America) and NJPW (Exclusively in Japan) I wondered how useful this feature might be in TEW 2020. I know the loan feature can replicate this, but its only for a set number of shows.</p><p> </p><p> It would allow you to lock down a worker so they can’t go to a direct, regional rival, but still allow them to work in other regions.</p><p> </p><p> The immediate problem I see occurring is booking conflicts and deciding whom the worker will wrestle with. I believe historically it has been decided by the size/pop of the company? But it would be great if a company could be nominated/contracted as a “Primary” employer meaning they get dibs on any potential booking conflicts.</p>

I do agree...but...what about Multiplayer games? Could another player cause issues if they wanted to? You could argue it's a cool feature to meddle, but I thought I would present the question and see what people think.

<p>First off, I love this feature in TEW 2020, being able to talk to your roster and try to shape them in line with your vision or speak to a free agent and ask them to change their in-ring style so you can get around an Owner Goal or make them fit better with your promotion.</p><p> </p><p> However, I do feel like some of the options should be restricted for workers that contracted to other promotions, especially anyone on an exclusive written contract.</p><p> </p><p> What do we think of this? Just seems a bit wrong that I can get another promotions worker on the gas or get them to change their in-ring style just because I asked them. Free agents or workers who are not on written exclusive contracts should be excluded (as you may be asking them to change something with the perception that you’ll make them an offer).</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, it is not a deal breaker, I assume the A.I. do not have this power (if someone could confirm), so ultimately it is up to me to decide how much I used this feature.</p>

Love it!

Yeah, I actually like the feature but it should limit options for people not on your roster. I did message Adam as I wasn't sure if it was a bug at first but he said it was designed that way.

Love these suggestions. I've been messing around with the game and noticed that the "Talk to Worker" tool is quite powerful. This is not a Mod issue as I have also fiddled in the Cornellverse and could do it there. But as Tony Khan I was able to talk a worker not in AEW to start taking steroids and have Triple H change his in-ring style I hope it is only a Player control thing, I don't want Vince talking half my roster to get on gas

I had a hunt round in the handbook and found the below...Hope it helps: Broadcasters can be one of four types (Pay-Per-View, Commercial, Free to air and Subscription) each which can be either Terrestrial, Cable or Internet. These combination of those two elements control the level of revenue and running costs, the broadcaster’s expectation in terms of quality, their patience with bad ratings and how they will negotiate. Terrestrial Broadcasters are the strongest and most desirable; revenue levels are at the highest here. However, their running costs are highest, they are most demanding about quality, are the least patient and are the toughest at negotiations. Internet broadcasters are the weakest; revenue and running costs are significantly lower than their terrestrial counterparts but they correspondingly much more patient and undemanding Cable broadcasters are the middle option, sitting midway between terrestrial and internet in their effects. With Pay-Per-View broadcasters each viewer is paying a price to watch the show (the price depends on company size and whether its Terrestrial, cable or Internet) and this provides the highest dollar-pew-viewer ratio of any broadcaster The downside is that PPV broadcasters tend to have smaller coverage (to simulate less people being willing to pay for content) and so growth can be limited. Commercial broadcasters make their money y selling advertising to create revenue. The revenue they can generate is broken up into half hour chunks, with the amount based on the number of viewers, time slot and broadcaster type (i.e. terrestrial can sell advertising at a higher amount than an internet-based broadcaster). The total amount is this half hour revenue vale multiplied by the length of the show – longer shows therefore generate more money (THAT’S WHY WE HAVE A 3 HOUR RAW!) Free to air broadcasters don’t generate any revenue at all, but because there’s no advertising to sit through they generally have higher levels of coverage. They’re a useful avenue for companies who can generate revenue in other ways but want to build a fan base Subscription broadcasters make their money through their subscription fees, which is reflected in a dollar-per-viewer revenue for the companies. Mechanically, subscription broadcasters are very similar to their commercial counterparts except that they offer a slightly higher rate of revenue per viewer and the quality of each show has less impact on their viewership numbers

I did wonder if you were going to move it over. Just for others, here is what I have come up so you don't get the same bits posted over: AEW Leva Bates to manage Peter Avalon (and vice versa). Brandi Rhodes to manage QT Marshall Brandi Rhodes to manage Dustin Rhodes Taz should have Manager removed as one of his roles Arn Anderson should manage Cody (Perhaps you could argue Brandi is his main manager, but I think he would have been in the corner if it wasn’t for travel restrictions) I’d have Taz & Excalibur on Commentary for AEW Dark – At the moment its all over the place, but this was the normal set up before. Add Cody Vance (known as Preston Vance in AEW) as a worker, contracted to AEW & have him join Dark Order Stable Change DDP to Face Change QT Marshall to Face Quite a bit of work on the Broadcaster front, they now have a Broadcaster Type which should match what they are (YouTube North America for example is listed as Terrestrial Free-to-Air rather than an Internet type). Another thing to look at maybe is the Stable Members and their roles. You can now assign Leaders, Muscle etc.
