Yeah I saw that. It was posted after I had already posted this. Still this thread is mostly just for background images. People had shared some pretty good collages for TEW2016 loading screens which I definitely made use of. Thanks for putting that together. I may actually make my own skin this time around.

Since just like TEW2016 this game can use custom loading screens, I decided I would jump start this. I've made a custom template that tries expose as much of the background as possible. The file below has a psd and png version of the template Link to the file (let me know if it doesn't work): http://www.mediafire.com/file/3zrtyg77o429sex/Template_Updated.rar/file Sample image: http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/f223/x5o5zzr19lps6l5zg.jpg Note: It may be useful to just share properly sized backgrounds without the template applied as some Skin makers may have custom templates for the loading screen. This way users can just apply which ever template they want.

So I have to ask if anyone else is having issues with this. In all the past games (TEW2016 & WMMA5) on all the lists, you could step through the list using the arrow keys and if there was a scroll bar you could use the mouse wheel to scroll. None of that is working for me in TEW2020.

I always forget to suggest this and in my brief look through the era settings it seems like this has not changed. The way the male/female ratio is set is annoying for fantasy mods (such as the 9000 verse) or organic mods. I'd like far more control. Either something similar to how it's done in WMMA5 with independent settings for each gender or perhaps a slider. For a slider all the way left could be 100 male and all the way right 100 female and obviously half way is 50/50. This way you could still accurately simulate history but give far more control to those who wish to change things up. I thought of trying a 50/50 organically grown DB but with the current set up that's not very realistic. I could do it by setting a bunch of era's and alternating the settings between "Exclusive Women" and "No Women", but that's not very organic and a lot of effort.

I did get the new wwe game and just managed to play for an hour. Mostly just browsed through the creation modes...not impressed so far. Some things immediately turn you off. For example when editing the body when moving a slider the character model completely disappears and then redraws when you stop moving the slider. Other simple things like being able to preview how the announcer will announce your name are completely gone. I tried one exhibition match. The new controls will take some getting used to. Not sure how I feel about them yet. Other than that it’s your typical wwe buggy release. Glitchy menus and glitchy in ring physics (especially the ropes). Did not leave a good first impression but I knew what I was getting into. Likely shelved for at least 3 or 4 patches. I have too many other good games to play.

I'm just wondering if anyone has seen a local showcase show occur? I'm currently in a 13 year long game and there has not been one yet (and yes I did filter the results correctly to see them). I'm pretty sure the reason in my case is that I started with a reset mod similar to Taker's where every fighter started with no popularity. Currently there are lots of extremely popular fighters as there are International and National companies, however they are all employed.

It's due to the reputation of the teams versus I believe the popularity of the fighters. So if the fighters are virtually unknown and the teams have a fairly high reputation they can't join. This works the other way as well...the fighters may be too big for any of the teams in Australia.

I suspect that the worker is generated and then is assigned a picture from a list of pictures that match the criteria from the "free pictures". So if the worker is male, asian and 180 lbs, a short list of pictures from the "free pictures" would be created and then a random picture from that list would be assigned (I suspect...I haven't seen the code). In any case the only ways to reduce the chance of a generated worker not having a picture is to add more free pictures and/or reduce the restriction on the existing free pictures (for example making them available for a wider range of weights). Anyway without a huge amount of free pictures you cannot eliminate the possibility of a worker ending up without a picture.</p><p> </p><p> Regens and Generated Workers can be turned on/off in the options.</p>

Yes you can put some new in the fight. Click on the “I” button next to the match and it will take you to the match making screen.

For a suspension I'm not sure. I had one nuclear challenge that I didn't book for a long time because the challenger had a loss (I forgot to book the challenge) and they had wanted to fight the champion so I wanted them to be on a win streak. Eventually, the challenger started sending me emails and every time I booked the champion against someone else, the challenger took a moral hit. I'm not sure the time frame but it was a very long time.

I did appreciate that they removed the more annoying mini games from the single player career mode, however it is still a mostly linear experience with not many changes from last year. Overall I'm satisfied for what I expected but it won't be long before it starts to gather dust. It's weird that last year my brain couldn't connect the dots with the submission mini-game and this year it's like second nature. I'm pretty sure it's still the same so I have no idea why my brain is suddenly processing it better.</p>
