Maybe it's just me but I can't help but feel uncomfortable when athletes with clearly visible, serious injuries are working through them and risk further injury for something as trivial as a sports entertainment match.

It is an improvement, but once an AI company can offer exclusive written contracts to lock down a worker (Medium size or above, I think?), they almost always will IME, and don't distinguish between foreign and local talent.

What's the point of non-exclusive written contracts? They don't seem to have any features that can't be replicated with handshake deals already.

Unfortunately, with a new larger screen it's become a chore to play this game with its tiny, tiny resolution. I really wish they would just release a resolution patch, but then I guess fewer people would buy 2020...

Is there a way to edit Moves? I can create new ones, but I can't find a way to delete or edit/rename them, even in the in-game editor. The database editor, of course, would not apply to my save, so...
Not sure if you haven't figured this out by now, but when you click on a worker's name on the Roster screen, there's the Move Set button which you can click to bring up a menu. There, you can create, remove, or add moves to a worker's moveset, or even create entirely new movesets from scratch.

Just because your understanding of "Left the business" is different to Adam's. It doesn't make the game wrong. In the games universe. Your "left the business" is TEW's "on hiatus". "Left the business" IN THE GAME means gone forever. Not gone on hiatus for X amount of years.
Done.
And as someone else suggested just add them back in before you start. If you've already started, clone an active character and alter their stats to match the inactive character you want.
There's many work arounds. And they're all quicker than wasting time on this topic.
What is it with people on this forum constantly trying to control the conversation and silence critical voices?
I don't remember it being this bad in earlier years.
Anyway, TEW2020 no longer has an "on hiatus" state. It seems that according to the new game mechanics, a worker is either in the business or out, and the people who are out will never come back at all, ever.

One thing I've noticed when importing the old Thunderverse database is that the game tends to set most nonstandard products to "Classic Balanced". I've also had the mentioned problems with bad personalities.
The biggest issue for me is that the new gimmick effects have to be put in manually into the contracts, or they just won't show up in the game, but this is less an issue with conversion and more an issue with the editor's interface.
The only real issues I've noticed with converted DBs are that company owners might need their preferred roster size edited to something smaller in order to avoid big companies signing EVERYONE in the first week, and that the new experience stat for workers can be a bit wonky in freshly-converted DBs. A quick fix for the latter is to do a bunch of mass edits, setting all workers with (X) number of years in the business to (Y) experience, based on where most CVerse workers with the corresponding number of years seem to fall.Undebuted: 0
Rookie year: 0
1 years: 2
2 years: 4
3 years: 6-7
4 years: 25-40
5, 6 years: 40-60
7 years: 50-65
8 years: 70-80
9 years: 75-90
10 years: 82-90
11 years: 90-100
12+ years: 100
This would be great if we could filter workers by year in the business in the editor.
Unfortunately, we can't, so you still have to enter these numbers manually, or trust the converter to do it for you.

I remember that in 2016, a product with weight split on massively increased the AI's roster size targets, I wonder if that may still be a factor (although I'm not sure if AJPW would have a weight split, did they have a Junior division back then?)
-
Going out on a limb here but...... wrestling fans? I don't know what made me think of that. Just popped in my head I guess!
Specifically, wrestling fans who really enjoy poring over spreadsheets in VB.
I'm sure those'll still be enough in numbers to tide GDS over until the next game.
There aren't really any other wrestling management sims out there, so it's not like they have any kind of competition there.

I'll probably wait and see until a couple decent mods are out.

Consider it official
Awesome!

I get why Vince would do this. In uncertain times, you need to protect yourself and your interests. Turtle up. Secure your income (going live so that the Networks can't cancel contracts, contribute to a Florida governor's campaign) and reduce costs (release/furlough non-essential employees). If you're not on the road, you don't need as many agents. If guys are off TV and being kept to spite AEW, that's wasteful. And AEW are less likely than ever to pick people up. It's not a good look, but I can see the method in the madness.
Also, for a publically traded company it's par for the course to announce large scale firings when your profits are getting lower than expected, because investors tend to see people getting fired as a good thing.
Also also, they just ran XFW into the ground, gotta recoup all that lost investment somehow.

I've seen estimates that costs for talent are less than 10% (I've even heard somewhere around 7-8%) of the WWE's total annual costs, and they were still predicting profits this year despite COVID-19.
-
I really hope that there will be more female workers all over the place, not just in USPW and NOTBPW. A new women's only promotion outside the US or Japan would be great. Perhaps a new generation of talented joshi workers debuts in 5SSW.
It would also be cool if, with the restrictions on women's divisions lifted, USPW's women's division finally got equal billing with the males.

He was pushing his age in 2016, so I wouldn't be surprised to see him bring the gimmick back in 2020 as a farewell tour of sorts.
Make him come back as Broken Lobster

Has anyone figured out how they’ll be able to play the ThunderVerse in 2020? I’m not sure how converting mods works for this one, but I seem to recall being able to export a save file and turning that into a database? That, with some tweaks, could be fun.
I’m still interested in seeing what the CVerse looks like in 2020, but man, I love the TVerse so much.
In TEW2016 you could straight up convert 2013 databases, and they would work more-or-less, although the new features (body types, alliance titles) had to be added manually.
I expect conversion to 2020 to work in a similar way, although with some more drastic changes added to gimmicks and products, I'd expect some initial wonkiness that would have to be adjusted afterwards - hopefully the announced changes in the editor UI will make that less irritating than it used to be.
Personally I'll very definitely attempt to convert the Tverse this way, it just feels so much more fun at the lower levels with a lot more variety in workers, especially for women's wrestling.

And you can absolutely have storylines that are just about the matches. You don't need any angles. Like Best of 7 series between 2 workers. Or just lump in the main event and call it "Chase for the title"
It's all about your own creativity.
Of course, for a best of 7 series, you'd have to turn off repetitive match penalties, too.
Title chase storylines, though, I do all the time, and I would say should be pretty much standard for any wrestling promotion.
-
Aside from that, adding pandemics would be downright moronic at this point in time. Again: adds little new to the game, needs extra lines of code and just provides a negative gameplay experience.
Kind of like having a random event where half your roster dies unexpectedly.

It's a fair assumption given that you post here fairly often to assume that you are playing previous versions... so if the game works on that, it should work.
But the more accurate answer would be... there's no minimum specs for the game to be tested on unless someone is using a super old computer to test it on. The game doesn't need much to run as the graphics are just layered up from still images and the language has been in use on Microsoft systems forever, so it should run on any computer from the last 10 years easily, perhaps as far back as 20... the only bottleneck in terms of game performance is really processing power, as the day to day stuff is the majority of the game's workload and has been ever since TEW04 with the way the game is structured.
It's impossible to give a "you need X, Y and Z to run this game" answer because as long as you can load it up, it should be good to go. And the majority (if not all) of what the game is run on has been around for at least a decade, so any computer within that range should work. Older systems are just likely to be a bit slower.
With a few years into a save with a lot of companies and workers, the game can actually slow down considerably and more RAM and/or a better CPU will very likely help mitigate that problem.

C-Verse's Trish Stratus?

The C-Verse doesn't really have an equivalent to WWF/E's Divas. Babes of Sin City comes closest to it so yea, I'd agree that Littlefeather is probably the closest you'd get for "picked for her looks, turned out to actually be a decent in-ring worker with tons of charisma".
