  1. We have the saying "Don't judge a book by its cover." for a reason. Your first reaction isn't unimportant, but it shouldn't be most important either.

     

    But it seems unlikely that you and I would come to an agreement on what works well as I never made peace with 2016 and gave it up. 2020 has been, so far for me, a major improvement. Adam made it significantly better. If it looked like 2016, it would probably be a hard pass for me.

     

    This, of course, is the fundamental problem with anything. People want and need different things. I've spent way too many hours playing WMMA5 recently. That TEW2020 is in many ways a spiritual successor of WMMA5 is probably why I like it so much.

     

    There is another expression, "you only have one chance to make a first impression."

  2. One thing that bummed me out canonically is that The Silencer is now 37 and never got picked up by any major companies. He was an automatic pickup in every MAW save I played in 2016, and I pushed him to death to catch the eye of the big dogs. He is just too good to languish in obscurity.

     

    I guess it's a testament to the TEW series and Adam that I care much about the destinies of the characters. :D

  3. I really tried to give this a shot, but the UI is really amateurish and sub par for this series. Not being able to mouse scroll is a ridiculous oversight. The search field is just a black background with white font, which is really hard to focus on. The whole thing actually gives me a headache after ten minutes. I really hope this gets figured out, because it is not worth the money as it stands now.
  4. <p>First of all, I must say how excited I am for a new TEW game! I've been a rabid fan since TEW 07, and each entry continues to blow me away. One of my favorite aspects is the Cornellverse lore and I'm excited to see what direction everything moves in. (My personal hope is that RMW officially debuts/gets some attention.) I have a couple ideas that I thought I'd share:</p><p> </p><p>

    1. Alliance committees</p><p>

    The alliance system has really grown from '13 to '16, but one way to improve it is through committee voting for champions. That way no one is caught off guard when you've built towards a big matchup, only to have your champion drop the strap a week before the event. It also gives you a different experience when in an alliance, hence adding to replay value.</p><p> </p><p>

    2. Playing as owner</p><p>

    I feel that something could be done to add some excitement to owning a company. As it is now, it's basically playing on easy mode, which is hardly the case from a realism perspective. Of course, I don't have any actual suggestions for how to do that, and frankly the ideas I do have might just turn the game into a finance sim <img alt=":p" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />. But I think putting a little more differentiation between booker and owner will again change up player experience and add replay value.</p>
