How do you set an owner in the editor? For some reason it’s greyed out.

Just remember that rating on overness, menace, sex appeal, or star quality is supposed to mean they are just there during the angle. If the angle was just 5 minutes of McMahon and Brett staring at each other, you built it right. If one of them was talking, he should have been rated on either microphone or entertainment. Then something interesting happened.

That's fair as far as it goes. But others, or at least me, opened up TEW2020 and went "Wow, what a huge step forward." Different things work for different people. I was so put off by 2016 I didn't play it. 2020 hits me right.

Looking forward to running a game in this.

Not an issue as such, it's intended behavior. Since the autobooker doesn't know the purpose of your storylines, it doesn't try to advance them.

This isn't really what I was trying to focus on, it's more of just something my brain sees as weird. My brain doesn't want to see Taker being suggested to me in 2020 on every show in what my head sees as the main eventer/major star role is all I'm saying. Taker is like Santa Clause, only shows up once a year. Yet I will see him in the main eventer/major star role every week for the entire year. That's what messes with my head. It comes down to maybe just a weird thing with me. Heck, I don't know. It just doesn't seem right for me. Maybe I'm alone on wanting a more organized look. It's a small thing compared to other, way more important issues.<p> </p><p> I said earlier this isn't really something even on my list of concerns about 2020.

What? There's literally nothing stopping you from doing exactly that. It's easier than ever because you don't have to put the main eventer label on him. Just book him last on the card and have him go over everyone. The only difference is you get better feedback from your fans on whether the guy is Daniel Bryan or Roman Reigns.

It's worth noting that you can turn off match percentages in options and then just track it yourself. Also, don't forget that you can custom build your matches. If the default ladder match gets you penalties you don't want, build a ladder match with a lower level of injury risk and use that instead. Or, as others suggested, post in the product suggestion thread.

Who knew? I've never heard that one before.

It's important to remember that the match time just sets an upper bound on the score. A 19 minute match may never go above 90 for example (I don't think we know what these caps are for sure.) If you match wasn't going to go over 90 in the first place, it doesn't need to be 20 minutes.

Sigh. Why do we have to be mean to the person expressing an opinion we don't agree with? We know there is some form of product editor, because Adam made the products in the first place, has edited them in the last week, and has stated he will add products going forward. Whatever method he is using to do that is a product editor. The thing we don't know is whether that editor is currently nothing more than the VB6 developer interface or if he created some sort of tool to simplify the process for himself. If the tool exists, it would be great if it could be included in the database editor.
