I mean if you chose to use an 'OP cheat' in game then that's your decision. But I can't even count the amount of managers that have become as popular, if not more so, than the talent they managed. Paul Heyman and Lesnar is the best current example. I think people are genuinely more excited to yell along with him during Lesnar's entrance then they are about the damn match. Zelina Vega is more popular than any of her cronies. Sable. Sunny. Dude I could go on but, I disagree with your assessment.

I dunno man, have you ever tried to run a company? Getting 30,000 people to pay money to watch your underground wrestling show is a massive amount, unless it literally did go viral. But going viral is something that usually happens randomly and is certainly not the norm. I agree that the viewer number seems waay too big. Especially if the company is relatively small, only the hardest of the hardcore would be buying that online, I'm talking somewhere around 500-1000 people if it is marketed well.

Hmm ok I hear you. I think the idea of an iron-clad non-exclusive is not really one we see implemented much in reality, but sometimes a guy like Jericho for example will work with NJPW and AEW simultaneously. I'm honestly just not sure what his contract looks like. I think there's a decent chance that AEW is loaning him out on a per show basis, which is doable in TEW 2020.

I agree, the stat doesn't do anything that another stat is not already doing. Cutting it seems like the best option, we're already swamped with stats so who's gonna miss it.

Um... exclusive means he can only work for you. Non-exclusive does not... Ironclad means the contract can't be broken but means nothing about him signing with other companies. So.... sign them to an exclusive contract. Problem solved?

Jesus christ this is the worst type of consumer and probably the reason so many game companies refuse to communicate with their fans. Treat me like a king because I buy your products! Fans like this are why people stop listening to their fans and just make the game they want to without much feedback. Entitled, spoiled sons of guns, welcome to gaming culture 2020. That said I will be buying the game but certainly I was expecting more after the huge success that was WMMA 5. The next TEW might be a make or break the series and needs a true 'total rebuild' imho.

This is exactly how I feel. A small group of people complained loudly about issues noone else was having. Now, they have the game they want but so many others have been driven away. I'm with you Teemu I couldn't give a damn about difficulty, and tbh I don't even see how 'difficulty' even applies to this game. The game has been tuned for only a part of the audience because they complained constantly. Financials, spreadsheets, blah blah. It's not as fun as it used to be and its trending in the wrong direction.

Ah ok thanks guys. Bummer because i think I made it run for 5 minutes... one minute off

Really not a big fan of the 'Lack of anything interesting' penalty to certain angles. After the match my World Champion is celebrating with his best friend when he gets turned on, attacked and sent through a table with a stunt bump, setting up the next world title feud. The segment was penalized for 'a lack of anything interesting happening'. Really? It seemed pretty damn interesting to me. It seems a bit silly to penalize players for a subjective 'lack of anything interesting'. Especially when the angle was definitely the most interesting thing that happened on the show.

The entire Rusev/Lashley angle went down with pretty much 0 heat I understand your sentiment... but goddamn that was a dreadful storyline.

This man never watched WCW...

<p>Agreed! At least retiring workers give you a heads up in this game, so you have time to take the title off them etc. </p><p> </p><p> But I'd like to ask them if they'd be available for a match, say 9 months in the future for Wrestlemania. Or maybe the Wrestlemania after that.</p>

Seconded. Would love this! I have the unfortunate distinction of having the worst name memory of all time... this would save me tons of time.

<p>Yeah I third the 'both' option. I feel like I've been forced to sign a bunch of extra guys to flesh out the developmental roster, guys I probably wouldn't be interested in otherwise. Not a killer for me but I certainly wouldn't mind the AI filling out the last 10-15 roster spots.</p><p> </p><p> It also makes me feel like I'm taking a hands-on approach, almost running developmental myself at times, when I'd like to have the option to be 'hands-way-off' and kind of let them run themselves.</p>

I've been seeing a lot of posts like this over the past weeks and I agree, for me this is the #1 thing I'd like to have expanded upon. I will keep fighting for these improvements and hopefully something will get added before full release!
