[TEW 2020 released!]

Yep, placement mode works even better than how I envisioned it. It uses the right-click to select, but I had been stuck in "use one set of up/down arrows", whereas being able to insert or swap to any position is absolutely optimal. Bravo, Adam!

["How about this?"]

<p>That's a great feature, refusal to work with someone who injured them. </p><p> </p><p>

I just checked regular enemies in a tag match, no issues. Not that I think there should be, just noticing that workers don't really have any opinion on how they're booked outside of who they win/lose to.</p><p> </p><p>

I'd be so into workers having opinions on gimmicks, teams, disposition, etc.</p>

["How about this?"]

I would absolutely love this, it would add a lot of depth to making workers feel like people (the talk to worker feature is a great start). I imagine it might take a fair bit of coding/tuning, but man I would dig it, having to field suggestions, requests or even "ultimatums" from my roster.

 

As it stands, you can put any gimmick on any worker and aside from it being a poor gimmick, workers don't complain. I should check, but I think you can even put enemies in a tag team and it doesn't necessarily lead to bad results...

[Colour Code Dirt Sheet Notes]

Currently all the positives are listed first, then all the negatives. I'm fine either way.

[Auto Booker booking the same matches over and over]

I jumped in as a player 3 weeks into a save, used auto-booker and the main event got the penalty "this is the 6th time this match has been put on recently, so it needed to be better". So it's not just the auto-booker but also the AI booking that falls on repetitive match-ups.

[Fix the moving of segments in booking screen]

Just to reiterate an idea I had of how this could work with the current interface...

 

It seems like it should be possible to right-click a segment (or even multiple segments if you want to be fancy), and move it up/down with a single set of arrows. Think of how Mass Editing works in the editor - if I'm not mistaken, that screen has the same kind of functionality.

 

I think that would be not just a compromise, but an overall improvement.

[Match Time starts at ZERO]

It would be cool if it was tied to your product, or if you can set a default per player in any game.

[Hey, how i cash-in a contract on a match?]

This isn't a Tech Support issue, but all the same...

 

If you're talking about a WM31 situation, you would book a triple threat match between Reigns, Lesnar and Rollins, then add the Road Agent Note "Late Addition" for Rollins. It's a feature specifically designed for mid-match cash-ins.

[Make Crowd Heat Visible on Booking Results Screen]

Fully agree! I'd be far more inclined to use on-the-fly booking with something to see and manage in real-time.

[Have option to choose angles to be default scripted or not]

Absolutely agree. So many of my workers complain about being scripted, I would love the option to have it default to unscripted.

[Skill/popularity numbers colour change.]

While we're at it, can the harsh yellow for angles in match results screens get changed to something less jarring? With a lot of how the AI books, it makes it difficult to focus on the actual match results.

[Moving booking segments up and down.]

If we can't get an option for the old list style for this screen, it seems an alternative could be right-clicking a segment to highlight it, then using a universal set of arrows. Heck, this could even allow for selecting and moving multiple segments at a time, which would then be an overall upgrade!

[Bring back multi-skill progression screen]

It is bizarre, slicing up so thinly what used to be available at a glance. Especially when the Attributes section is right next to it and often needs scrolling to see it all. The screen real estate could be used a whole lot better.

Will we be able to directly use skins from 2016, or will some changes be necessary?

 

The resolution of the program has changed, so even if otherwise the UI was the same (which it definitely won't be), new skins would be necessary.

[TEW2020 Discussion Thread]

If we can get Cinematic matches added this late in development, is it possible to remove the time limit cap for matches to get higher ratings? A lot of modern matches are sub-10 minute sprints, like a Lesnar match, and every time they get capped at 80 due to match time.

 

Could this be something we can toggle? In the user preferences section maybe?

 

What sub-ten minute Lesnar match do you think *should* get more than 80/100? The one where he does the same move over and over, and then maybe his opponent does the same? Or the one where he does one move and then it's over?

[Has TEW helped make you a fan of any real world workers?]

Back in TEW2007, I hired a promising young talent... Rebecca Knox.

 

I looked up her stuff online and became a big fan. She retired soon after, then seven years later got a developmental contract with WWE, and ended up main eventing Wrestlemania. Absolutely surreal looking back on it. All through her hiatus I would always have her on my roster in-game!

<p>"The Undertaker" has had a whole bunch of different gimmicks as The Undertaker, though. The most obvious changes being the 2000-2004 period affectionately known as "American Badass" or "Biker Taker".</p><p> </p><p>

Him not being able to use the name outside WWE wouldn't prevent him from getting over, nor using whatever gimmick he was running at the time.</p>

[TEW2020 Discussion Thread]

I hope there is a small % of the time where a worker changes their mind when it comes down to the moment of truth. Not a common thing, and possibly based on personality, where they'll say one thing to your face and screw you over on the big day.

<p>I love all the new additions to Brands!</p><p> </p><p>

If I'm reading it right, this might have snuck in a significant feature in my mind... We can have color coded text in lists such as the Roster now?</p>

Instead of being on the show day and finding out that the guy you want to lose doesn't want to lose, you could plan it in advance and change plans (and the booking leading up to the match).</p>

That's already in the game, represented by Company Relationships (Non-Aggression, War, etc).

[TEW2020 Discussion Thread]

I'm hoping that in amongst momentum being a strong factor in how crowds perceive workers, that there's some way to replicate underdog popularity.

 

Tye Dillinger loses every NXT match and eventually gets over to the point where new guys get booed tor beating him on their way in. Becky Lynch went about a year (at least twice) with no notable victories, always losing feuds and getting pushed aside, but always had the crowd's support. She was on a quiet winning streak just before she hit it big, but again it was a high-profile loss that pushed her over the edge...

 

It can't always be a case of losses equalling popularity/momentum loss.
