Wow I haven’t posted in a long time!
In my opinion (and I’m sure this has been mentioned before so mods do whatever you think is best with this thread) the story/news section is one of the last big improvement needed to make TEW totally immersive.
I realize this may be controversial and other people may feel other areas need work, but regardless…
EWR was an amazing game remembered quite fondly by the players. One of the great features (aside from Sophie) was the news feeds provided. There were many different types, including if my memory is correct a power rankings and rumors page) this should be integrated in the new game or future renditions.
What I mean, for example, is something along the lines of PWI and a rival to It. Annual or semi annual power rankings of the top 500 are awesome and a terrific feature, but annually is too infrequent and I’d like to see weekly top 5 performers or 5 people who are free agents who companies are overlooking (something like that you get the idea I think). These features are semi-provided within the companies screen, but I think could be beneficial on a more global level providing a more exclusive or perhaps niche list catered to many companies as opposed to just one (the user). Free agency in wrestling is all about who’s hot and who isn’t. Let’s say wrestler x had a fantastic match last night or is on a roll pulling off 50+ matches for instance (the rating 50+ all of his recent matches for x amount of time) then it’d be nice to see an article from “PWI” or whatever type of name you want to use, to say hey these guys (or guy) are worth a look or contract.
The main screen has many different articles accessible and it’s cool because it’s all in one screen making it significantly less clicks than before, but that section could be divided into different news entities providing different (or different takes) information from the other.
I have no idea how difficult this is to integrate and of course if it’s not realistic I understand completely. But, it was a fantastic feature of yesteryear and definitely worth another look to see if it could be added. Just my two cents I’ll fade back into obscurity now!
Have a great day!
