Love the last two entries and there is still more to come on the subject! Here’s to hoping for the ability for some broadcasters to have their own studio venue to shoot in and give a company better production quality without having to come out of pocket for their own.

Same. I’ve been asking for this since TEW 16 was announced.

And to maybe push a young worker but not yet place him in the main event scene to keep him humble (if that’s still a factor in the game)

When Adam says that he's removing "related systems", that almost certainly means that he's taking out features that used to depend on your ability to choose a person's push- e.g. you won't be able to promise somebody in contract negotiations that they'll always be a Main Eventer. Instead, that'll probably be replaced with something else- that you'll book them strong, or to remain above X amount of momentum, or what have you. I'm sure Adam has a better view of the big picture than I do, for obvious reasons.<p> </p><p> What I am curious about, though, is how you'll handle the non-wrestlers on the roster, for whom the drop-down menu actually made sense: how do you delineate which people are commentators vs. road agents, for example? And how do you handle people who fulfill multiple roles? It's not uncommon for a small fed to try and save some cash by using a wrestler as a road agent, for example.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> And this is what people are hoping.</p>

A few people were definitely discussing the lack of roster sorting when booking shows. I think people jump the gun a bit when reading the journal since Adam is going through stuff aspect by aspect. We haven't gotten to the actual booking of shows/matches yet - and we don't know anything about it. Whatever changes have been made to match making, will be revealed on the update that is specifically about match making. At least, that's how the format seems to be.<p> </p><p> I'd be stunned if there wasn't a way to sort the roster by perception while booking. But maybe the way to book matches has been completely overhauled, and won't be at all as it has been.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I’m sure we’ll be able to sort based on perception but that’s not what people were talking about. IMO the new feature is not a name change as someone mentioned. I don’t believe Major star = Main Event. I think the way the feature work is that a major star is someone the crowd can believe seeing in the Main event picture rather than an unknown and the ability to move the needle in both attendance and merch sales. Let’s say I have New Day on a hot streak with a great storyline and they all reach major star staus for the time being. I suspect that the crowd will accept them main eventing for now. But I instead would like to keep them on a midcard level. I know I can book them as such. I’m hoping for another factor that weight my options in doing so. Maybe they will accept the role or be alienated by it. I’m pretty much hoping for the option to let the backstage know what their place are on the roster and potentially asked to be booked higher and more frequent.</p><p> </p><p> As for sorting, what if I had a roster full of major stars? Obviously everyone can’t be in the mainevent so I think people hoping that a screen that lets you visually see the shape of your roster isn’t jumping the gun considering it was said that the feature and anything related to it is gone (not revamped) when it came to card position/pushes.</p>

That’s not the argument I’m making though. I’m agreed with someone who said some elements of the old way could be used. Sorting purposes and the ability to let a worker know what his role is currently. Push could also be used as promises for contracts. I’m not saying the old way is better, for all we know we can still do these things. There should be some elements of randomness with crowd perception and some politicking sometimes keeping you from always pushing the guy most over to the championship. Otherwise it would seem cookie cutter pushing who the crowd wants. I know I can push who I want despite crowd but why would I do that if It’s all negatives? I don’t play the game from a sandbox perspective. I enjoy risk/reward.

Isn’t the new perception rating basically company specific popularity? From what we know, it sounds like it.

Looking forward to see how this works.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I agree parts of the old syste should stay in some form.. I would hope or suggest that we can promise push level or workers can ask or demand to be pushed to a level. Like a unknown asking to be placed in the mid card scene or better yet a staff member suggests it. Or signing a big name FA and promising him nothing less than a main eventing no matter what the crowd perceive what he is.</p><p> </p><p> From the little info we have, it seem like the crowd is running the show. Which is not a bad thing but it’s also one half of a puzzle. As we all know from watching WWE, being over with the crowd doesn’t necessarily mean you are main eventing.</p>

Even thought the fans would buy it, the roster would still be structured to have openers etc. </p><p> </p><p> Like I said there maybe another way to do it, but is there the possibility the old way of sorting your roster (and autopushes) could benthere, purely for arranging the roster?

I feel like the need for staff feedback is even more of a hot commodity now. I can see myself going through a creative block on who to push and who to put on the mid card. Maybe there will be other elements to making such decisions...Will a roster full of major stars mean I have a roster full of main eventers?</p>

<p>I’ve beeen wanting some sort of overness rating that separates from popularity!</p><p> </p><p> Fans can now reject Roman (poor booking) enough for him to not reach major star level (Cena) but yet still be one of the most popular guys on the roster.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Interesting to see how hard/easy it is to get a roster full of major stars. I hope how you book a specific gimmick plays a bigger role. Will a worker in a baby face role that’s book like a baby face but doesn’t perform well in that position, will he get over quickly if booked to win? A brute that isn’t being book like one but yet still win all of his matches in close fights, will he get over quickly?</p>

Still to this day when running a TV show, I cannot stand getting ratings in the 20's. I hope they are separated out again by the country.<p> </p><p> I also hope there is more consistency in agent notes and workers. For example, Randy Savage is known historically to be a fantastic non-scripted interviewer. It's pretty annoying to randomly get the report that "Randy Savage did not do well while trying to improvise dialogue." Workers are either good or not good at working without a script. Sure, some interviews or promos may not "click" as well as others but it could be relayed in a better way.

I.E. Mic, Acting heck even refereeing and psychology. Adds more variety and grey areas and not make things so black and white all the time.</p>

I think a creative skill would be more suitable as the user already have one in the game, but it currently only effect gimmick. What if every worker had their own Creative rating and it was expanded to effect angles as well as gimmicks if you gave the worker input or creative freedom.
