Popularity is one of the most well kept secrets in this game. You can read tip after tip, tutorial after tutorial but it’s still literally almost impossible for the majority of your roster to gain any pop. I quit playing 3 weeks ago because of this.

I’m going to have to disagree heavily here. I’m in October in my SWF game and my show ratings are consistently between 85-91 for both of my prime time shows. I have main event spotlight and tight angle focus. Oftentimes my shows aren’t even main evented by “major stars” , but as long as I have workers in there that can put on a decent match, while using my stars and major stars for great angle ratings for at least 1-2 angles, my shows grade out tremendously while still being able to book my undercard however I please Edit: For example, my last episode of SWF ELITE was main evented by ZWB (Star - 75 pop across ) vs Killer Shark (Well known - 71 pop across) and scored an 83 My world title feud between Angry Gilmore and Des David’s was and usually is the primary focus of this show so they had a couple killer angles in the high 90s The rest of the card was used to flesh out some undercard storylines, a few squash matches, and whatever else I wanted to do to get some lowercard guys on the show My show rating? 90 It’s almost TOO easy to get consistently good ratings this year using main event spotlight and tight focus settings.

Doesn’t make my opinion wrong now either, does it? Just because you worship adam and think his games can do no wrong doesn’t mean you’re right, either. Some of you need to get a serious grip

<p>September 2020 - Week 1 </p><p> </p><p> SWF World Heavyweight Champion - Angry Gilmore 2x</p><p> SWF Champion - Rocky Golden </p><p> SWF North American - ZWB </p><p> SWF Continental - Primus Allen </p><p> SWF Tag Team - The Awesomeness </p><p> SWF World Tag Team - Joey Morgan & The Crippler </p><p> SWF Television - Mainstream Hernandez</p>

He did, however. Being gone for 7 years and not being involved in wrestling in any capacity screams “left the business” to me. It’s not a problem to admit this is completely flawed in TEW and the game doesn’t offer enough options to such a broad scope of how “left the business” actually is IRL

<p>The Rock left the business for SEVEN years before he returned and had a match. Everyone thought he was completely done with wrestling forever, and guess what, he came back for multiple matches across two years, and STILL does sporadic appearances here and there at the height of his movie popularity.</p><p> </p><p> Lesnar was gone for 6 years and came back.</p><p> </p><p> The list goes on and on of people who “left the business” and came back either out of loyalty to Vince or the love for wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> To say that it would be unrealistic to talk someone back for a couple appearances or a match or two would be ludicrous</p>

We’re not interpreting anything too much. This is how the game is meant to operate. You’re not willing to learn the mechanics, thats your problem, not ours. I promise that one of us could take your save game and book a 90-99 rated show on our first try. Because we’ve learned the mechanics and we know how to properly book a show within the framework of the game. You’re not willing to learn then that’s your problem, mate. We’ve all tried to lend you a helping hand and you’re too hardheaded to take any advice. Good luck to you.

Brother people have told you time and time again it’s the mod you’re using, combined with the product and settings you’re using. In all honestly there’s not one real world mod ready for TEW 2020 just yet. There’s a lot of errors and kinks that need to be worked out before they’re ready for prime time. In your settings, turn off the worker overuse penalties and book your matches within your product. You can also turn off crowd burnout because it seemed like you were having trouble with that as well in a previous post. I’d recommended practicing in the default data with BHOTWG or another Japanese promotion that runs a similar model to NJPW. The default data will give you a clear indication on how to Properly book the game and get you ready for a true real world mod when they’re ready.

Adam just confirmed they’ll be releasing as planned today

LMAO no way this isn’t satire

Yeah I kept cranking away and cranking away and I can’t get enough. Once I learned to readjust to the new mechanics, booking became as much of a breeze as 16. Soon as I get an official release date on the game, I can do my giveaway properly.

Playing as SWF, Matty Faith was in line for a pretty big singles push after Brandon James said he saw something in the kid so he’d be willing to put him over. Well, Mr. Faith thought it would be cool to get busted with steroids 2 weeks before his PPV match with Brandon James. I suspended him, he now has simmering tension with me and his push is going to Masked Patriot instead. Bad news is the press got a hold of the story so I’m caught in a scandal right now. Thanks, Faith. His contract is up in 7 months so if he’s still mad at me I’ll let him walk right into the unemployment line.

I personally think Adam is pulling all nighter after all nighter to get this game done in time to release by tomorrow. Something tells me he’s going to give us an update and tell us it’s all ready for our Thursday release. I sure as hell hope I’m right.

This is true, which is sort of a silver lining. I guess that’s one of the things the feature was intended for. Although wouldn’t this really only work for retired wrestlers? If I’m treating champagne lover like the rock, a guy who left the business for years and years and years and then made his return. Had two matches at mania two years in a row, and even won the WWE championship is second run. Is that no longer possible to do with the editor? Or, can we talk to guys who have left the business and try to convince them to come back?
