I’ve already brought this up so hopefully this added attention gets it reinstated.

A pretty simple one really, I think it would be nice to have the [+] and [-] back on the dirt sheet, or maybe colour them green and red like the other tabs.

I loved NEO in the previous iterations so I'm a bit disappointed to see them split. In the long term I want to do some sort of purge and reunification into NEO, probably with Horri going "face" but I'm going ahead with a Horri vs. Taira title match at Burning Path for now. They've been feuding since September 2017 in canon so I could probably call this the end of the chapter and at least use it as a way to change the landscape (ie. Taira out of leadership and down the card). He's still good but his stamina is nowhere near good enough to hang in the 20+ minute main events. I also need to find a way to get more of the juniors into existing factions. 19 of 24 on the starting roster are unaffiliated. No one close to their prime stands out to me as a "heel" that would defect though.

Basically if they're Medium or below, there's no problem because they will only be offered Handshake deals by the AI (although it's normally a year-plus deal, as you can't set the deal to expire after the next tour any more). The major problem is when a company hits Big level and they start offering Written deals. All the classic foreign touring workers (ie. Americans working Japanese tours in between their homeland commitments, like Terry Funk) are soon swept up on massive Exclusive Written deals by the Japanese company. It's really frustrating for someone like myself who plays Japan almost exclusively. The system in TEW2016 of Touring contracts and being able to specify the Touring regulars (eg. Terry Funk to AJPW) worked pretty perfectly so I'm stumped as to why this went away.

Would changing the format in the editor affect already started save games?

NXT is now a third (minor) brand. The WWE Performance Center is the developmental territory.

Yeah I was just trying to meet the current setup somewhere in the middle with my suggestion, but like you say bringing back Touring contracts would be the best solution gameplay wise.

This has got some attention in the modding thread now. If there could be a note added that allows for Foreign workers only on Non-Exclusive Handshake deals, then maybe that will fix the issue.

Can we turn off the generic venues?

I wouldn’t say he is a Squash Master. He’s the Comeback Master. Also maybe take away Wrestling in the Blood, that might stop him being positive. I truly don’t believe he has remained all these years because of his love for wrestling, it’s because he failed at acting and wrestling is his best payday.

It’s not a cultural thing, I’m British and I’m pretty confused by it too!

I get that, but my main point is that - lets take a real world mod for example - AJPW never signed gaijin to full time deals, they only cycled them in for tours while working in their home country the rest of the time. But under this new system, there’s nothing to stop the AI scooping up these guys on Exclusive Written deals.

<p>Ok, so Touring workers are gone. I don't agree with it, but I can live with it. An ongoing handshake contract can represent a Touring worker, although I still think we should have an option to set the expiry as "End of Next Tour" rather than actually having to fire them.</p><p> </p><p> Anyway, my main gripe is that the disappearance of Touring workers means we no longer have the rule "No Foreign Workers (Except for Touring contracts)" and I'm sure mod makers will chime in saying this is vital for maintaining the old-style touring aspect of Japanese gaijin in the 70s and 80s, because as it stands now without this hiring rule available, the bigger companies will just pick off these guys on massive Written contracts.</p><p> </p><p> Please can we have it back? Or something that at least maintains the status quo.</p>

<p>Yes please. I usually book opening matches as all or majority young lions.</p><p> </p><p> There is the option to add them to a Young Lion division but I always forget to take them out when they "graduate" so to speak.</p>

Is there anything in Hiring Rules to mimic the old "No Foreign Workers (Except Touring Contracts)"? I'm getting Japanese touring companies making massive Written offers to foreigners and I want to prevent this.

Are the match lengths for being overused the same across every game area and product? I've only played in Japan with BCG so far and for example, Unimportant perception is capped at 15 minutes show time (including non-wrestling time).

Well done buddy. It was the white grid I couldn't cope with, so this is perfect.

Possibly. Seems a bit steep though, I've only got four guys based outside of Japan and that's where I exclusively run my shows.

Can someone help explain the Workers expenditure to me? I was of the understanding that it is solely workers' wages. But my monthly wage bill is $600k yet my monthly outgoings in this category range anywhere from $700k to $2m. I don't offer bonuses or signing on fees and I've not terminated any contracts. All my guys are on Written deals too...

<p>First up, great mod! I’m loving it.</p><p> </p><p> Is anyone having trouble breaking even with touring companies (specifically NJPW)? I ran eight tour shows plus a big event (drawing 22,000) in November and I still lost $1m (lots of expenditure in “Misc”). Am I doing something wrong? Admittedly I’ve only ran touring companies on more historical mod before but I’ve never had this problem.</p>
