Can't comment on most of these, but Sky Deutschland is actually a terrestrial subscription broadcaster.

Exactly this. If I'm doing a watcher game or start unemployed hoping to get a job as a booker, I'll pick the Grand Avatar and delete all the other avatars.

That was an "issue" with the database, not with the system, though. I'm confused, though. Honest question: Why are you guys dismissing a suggestion to improve a feature that is already an option in the game anyways, just turn it off if you hate it so much.

I don't really know enough about wrestling during that time period to have a strong argument against your point, but I would argue he wouldn't have been in the top 5 under the TEW 2016 national battle system. Hunter, Rocky, HBK, The Undertaker and Steve Austin were probably bigger draws than Foley at that point. The fact that folks changed the channel was (in my opinion) due to WCW commentators mentioning it on Nitro and inadvertently hyping up that match plus the shock value of an underdog winning the WWF title on Raw, not so much Manking being a super-huge draw in the WWF at that point. Edt: But I really don't want to argue about whether a certain wrestler in a scenario from >20 years ago was a number five or number six draw. My main point is that a strategic element was taken out of the game and I'd like Adam Ryland to consider bringing it back.

You can always switch to "rated on best show" in the user preferences if you don't like it, so what's the problem? And yes, in case I didn't make it clear enough: I know there's an option for battles being rated on stars, on the best show or a combination of the two. What I mean is: In 2016, being rated on stars meant that the wrestlers' average popularity was multiplied by their star quality. In 2020, for whatever reason the star quality part was removed. For me, it takes away a huge strategic and realistic part of playing as big+ promotion. You could even make it a fourth option in user preferences so everyone would be satisfied.

I'm not sure why it was changed from 2016, but I'd really like it to be changed to how it used to work. If I understand it correctly, in TEW2020, if you have the way area or regional battles are calculated set to "on stars" it only takes into account the top five workers's average popularity. This has two consequences: #1 Star quality as a skill loses a lot of importance in the game. And yes, I know it has an effect on match and angle ratings as well as how far a worker can go as far as popularity. #2 But no matter what kind of company you play as (perf>pop or pop>perf), there's no need to hire anyone but the best in-ring wrestlers. In TEW 2016, I liked the challenge of having to decide whether I want to push a relatively untalented wrestler with high star quality over a talented wrestler with less star quality in a performance-heavy promotion. So, as it stands now, in order to win battles "on stars", you just hire the best in-ring guys, no matter if you're an entertainment-heavy or workrate-heavy promotion and push them to the moon. I'd really love to have star quality be brought back as a parameter for succes in area or regional battles.

On the main screen, go to "diary". You can even filter all the non-wrestling shows.

<p>The description for Guerrilla Warfare says that there's a big dose of humour involved. But the product analysis says that you can only have two comedy matches per show and that comedy gimmicks cannot be used by stars or major stars.</p><p> I feel like that doesn't make sense, especially since there's not even a minimum requirement for comedy in the product.</p><p> Maybe think about adjusting it a little bit?</p>

The game will automatically choose an arena within Los Angeles (an imaginary one that doesn't exist in the database) with a capacity at the appropriate size for the crowd you're predicted to draw to the event you're running. The cost will be the same as a venue of that size would cost. In your case, since you're predicted to draw around 1,000 fans, the best venue size would be 1,000.

Thank you very much. That was a a really helpful response.</p>

What's the deal with locations in the default database being so cheap to hire compared to venues? For example: Why would I ever pick the Snake Pit in the South West, which costs 1,000 $ and has room for 1,000 people when I can go to Los Angeles, which costs the same but I can get up to 100,000 people to my show? Am I missing something here?

I think part of the problem is that these pop-up windows don't have any distinct frames and therefore don't look as "three-dimensional" as they could. It's often hard to figure out which window is on top. I hope you get what I'm saying, I know nothing about programming and programming language, so bear with me.

I agree! And a good reminder for everyone not to jump the gun when judging the game (or anything really). You may have a negative opinion about the game, but make sure it's a well-informed one.

I say put the interviewer in. With the cameo appearance road agent note (which I love), you can put them in without them tanking the segment or overshadowing other workers in it. Although that's probably not how that road agent note is intended to be used.

There's no search option (I think), but you can click on the worker's picture and there's an "alter egos" button. If it's red, they don't have one.

Nice. Does the game actually add a new move into the worker's move set? My guess is it doesn't, but that would be really cool.

This could of course be a bug, but I can also see that being intentional. Here's my logic: An eye-candy match will always be penalised because people come to the shows to see wrestling. And in workrate-heavy promotions the audience would absolutely hate these kinds of matches. But in an attitude era style company, the penalty is not that big, but there's still a penalty because people want to see actual wrestling. Even in the attitude era, people wouldn't be taking eye-candy matches seriously. Yes, they would tolerate them, but tolerating doesn't mean people were 100 % into them.

Have you tried to click on the little "TEW" icon right at the bottom of the navigation bar and then re-load the save game?

Trying this out now. I've never experienced with different skins in previous iterations of TEW, but this time I have to. The default skin is actually hurting my eyes. So thank you - and the other skin-makers too - for the work you've done so shortly after release of the game.

Am I correct in assuming you don't have to assign a head trainer to a company-owned training facility anymore?

Should put it in technical support so it doesn't get lost and they can fix it.

<p>Yeah, it's so easy to mistakenly double-click on these items, especially since we're all new to the game and haven't figured out yet when to single-click and when to double-click.</p><p> I second this suggestion.</p>

When searching for a broadcaster to negotiate with, I'd not only like to know who is and who isn't willing to negotiate, but also what I can do to enable negotiations. If it's an issue of my promotion being too small or not popular enough, there's nothing I can do about it at the moment, but if it's an issue of production values being too low, I can fix that instantly. I'd like to be able to filter by all the different variables that determine whether a broadcaster is willing to negotiate with my promotion or not.

Oh, right. I forgot you could also offer money in exchange for talent in previous games. Yeah, it's a pity you can't do this anymore. Maybe make a suggestion for it?

Have you tried doing an alliance loan?
