Is there a way to determine when and how many new workers are created by the database because I looked and could not find the option. I'm currently attempting to fast forward a database to 10 years in the future so this might be important.

One thing that is really bugging me about this game is how difficult it is to get unimportant workers 'off the bricks' and into relevancy. in 2016 you could get openers/jobbers to 30 something pop just by having them on TV on a national company. In 2020 it seems to only go to 15-20. You can't have them wrestle other unimportant talent because it will utterly destroy the match rating. You can't have them go over recognizable stars because they'll throw a fit and even if you go through with it the recognizable talent will probably lose more pop than the other guy will gain. It seems extremely difficult to push them without using the buddy system, and even then they just get overshadowed in every segment if their buddy is too popular. And furthermore it's not even true to life. Pushes like Kane or Bray Wyatt are right out. Feuds like Brandon Cutler/Peter Avalon are impossible. The Young Lions cup would be a disaster. I know sometimes game mechanics don't always match up with real life and having a guy storm out with like 65 starting pop would be unbalanced but there should have been some kind of concession here. Like B shows removing the 'two wrestlers the crowd doesn't care about' penalty in exchange for giving well known and above workers a penalty for 'slumming it' or something. The change I really do like in 2020 is that veteran wrestlers don't immediately become useless the second they hit decline. The gimmick system is a great improvement too.

<p>How is having a worker train at a dojo/performance center different than having them in developmental?</p><p> </p><p> Also; is there any way to tell when a worker has hit the point where developmental/PC won't help them anymore?</p>

How do I turn people with an angle without a gimmick change? I thought it was a bug that I couldn't just click 'handle turns' but there's apparently an attached road agent note but I don't know how to implement it. Edit; Nevermind I just saw the 'road agent notes' in the UI.

How do I switch a wrestler's alter ego? The only alter ego option I see lets me see a worker's alter ego but not change it.

Is there an easy way to release everybody from their contracts via the database?

Ok there were a lot of notes for TEW 2020 but one thing I didn't see that made me sad is that I didn't see anything in regard to expanded any kind of expanded creative meeting function. I always want to see the talent reports on all my young talent but I have to constantly mess with pushes to do so. Did I miss something?

I hire a ton of young guys and painstakingly go over their scouting reports.

<p>Ugh! Hogan just won his stupid lawsuit and sunk me for 6.4 million.</p><p> Which sets back my long term goal of creating a global broadcaster back several months. </p><p> Is there an option where I can have him killed? Sick of that selfish, greedy pile of human garbage winning out in the end.</p><p> (Only profession in the world where you can get reprimanded for starting fights 4 times inside of 3 months and win a wrongful termination lawsuit)</p>

<p>Guys I did it.</p><p> I fired Hogan.</p><p> he threw a punch of Orndorf, Orndorf beat him up. Then I decided I was sick of his nonsense.</p><p> He's gone. I'm 200k/mo richer and well, I was going to lose the national battles anyway.</p><p> Edit: OR NOT! He filed suit against me despite firing him for starting a fight when it was his 4th offense in < 3 months.</p>

Reasons I can think of to do this. 1) Potentially split up a clique (I don't know if this actually works) 2) Goad two workers you don't like into fighting each other so you have an excuse to fire one of them. 3) Given how infrequently that command works, do it in hopes you mess up and they become friends (i also don't know if this actually works)

I have no love for the older guys either. I was willing to languish in Cult for awhile but everything stabilized earlier than anticipated and I found myself almost at International level in the US by the time I was eligible to return to National. If things are going well there is less impetus to blow things up and start over. Outright releasing Hogan and Nash wouldn't take their contracts off the books. Unfortunately I didn't fire them for disciplinary issues when I've had the chance. On the plus side I've already shed Piper and Savage, and as of today (in-game) Hall is off my books. So isn't Bam Bam, who was making 40k/mo for some reason. And Luger is coming out of Rehab in 2 weeks. I don't anticipate him coming out sober. The big problem I face is the National Battles. We're in 2000. That's basically the twilight of the true Superstars. Every worker with 90+ star power in the game is probably already active in the game world and they're either A) Too old to invest in or B) Already locked up by the WWF. That just leaves trying to steal the WWF's top guys. This means I have to maintain my national status or they won't negotiate with me. I've already missed out on Austin doing this. I've never been on the wrong side of a National Battle beatdown before so I don't know how debilitating it is. Or if it gets worse the larger the gap is. On the plus side. When I moved The Radicalz to WWF before the game started I set their contacts to random. Apparently 'random' means '7 1/2 months' for Saturn and Eddy. So I'm in a bidding war for them. At the same time WWF is fighting me for Booker T. I'm going to win all of these.

Luger and Hall were each good for all of 1 match before I shipped them off. Hall and Bam Bam's contracts will be up before they get out, they will not be coming back. Luckily nobody has tested hot in a month. Luger's coming back in a month. He tests hot again I will be more than happy to use it as an excuse to get his contract off my books.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Hashasheen" data-cite="Hashasheen" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41174" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Dude, the level of miserableness in your roster is impressive.

My locker room morale rallied after a month of no incidents, a few stealth vacations, and Bobby Heenan setting a few other trouble makers straight in wrestlers court. So things are alright.</p><p> </p><p> I would love to get rid of Nash and Hogan, but here's the problem with that.</p><p> </p><p> <a href="https://imgur.com/gaY5nHn" rel="external nofollow">https://imgur.com/gaY5nHn</a></p><p> </p><p> (if you can't click the image, Steve Austin has just returned and consequently I'm losing the national battles by a score of 4368-4203)</p><p> </p><p> I can't really replace Nash and Hogan's star power. Losing either one of them would significantly widen the gap here, by at least 100 points each I figure. Then again, I'm perfectly capable of losing the national battle with or without them.</p><p> </p><p> And I can't just release them. Their contracts are ridiculous (150k/mo for Nash and 200k/mo for Hogan). I had a golden opportunity to dump them but I played the velvet glove out of fear of losing almost 1/3rd of my main event scene.</p><p> </p><p> I have the 'next generation' of main eventers in the wings but they're not quite there yet (68-75 pop for them as opposed to the 85-92 I get out of Nash/Hogan). And also one of them is Jeff Jarrett and having watched a bunch of old 2000's Nitros I can say that Jarrett is a candidate for the single worst thing about the monday night wars. I'd have buried him in-game, but he's actually useful statistically. Of course I'd feed Nash and Hogan to these guys but creative control makes that difficult.</p>
