I have to say I'm far more interested in Adam adding important QoL features. These topics do absolutely nothing for me. If the game felt complete, then I guess we could have this discussion. Wouldn't be a very interesting discussion though TBH.

I'd personally fire anyone that dislikes our future ace Starlight Kid!

"Vince McMahon liked this"

Would be cool if a negative event it "Wrestler thinks Earth is flat. Whole roster hates him now."

I get what you mean. I would love an easier way to track who's winning & losing. Then again, I can just open each wrestlers W/L record. As for it mattering in kayfabe. That is just the momentum system pretty much. Maybe an option in the product screen that moreso intensifies the impact wins & losses have on each wrestler would be neat. Heck, even gimmicks now impact W/L value. Depending on how the gimmick rolls it's values. So to Adam's credit, he has added more to the importance of winning & losing. I would like a more defined & clear way to look at my entire rosters win/loss record all in one simple place though. That would be pretty cool.

I think they should keep perception. I just hate seeing road agents, refs or announcers pop up in my angle screen. 2016 didn't have this problem because we had a way to refine our search to avoid this. Now the angle screen looks like a mess & just has everyone in there. At least add a default option to make the angle screen show only wrestlers until I make the decision to change my search to include non-wrestlers.

Adding this to my list of small QoL things I'd love the game to address. To add onto this. I wish the game had longer text allowed. When booking freestyle, you only have so many words, yet when you look at the main booking screen. It still has tons of space to add more text in each section. It would also help manage the "4 v 4" autoname that comes up whenever you have matches where wrestlers have long names. Just small stuff, really low on the list of issues, would be nice to have it addressed eventually though.

I've been asking for a few small things for like 2 months now. I get that the game needs to worry about bugs & crashes, but I feel like when they redid the interface, they could have added these small QoL things to make the game feel smoother. Instead, now when you want to search the angle screen, no matter what you do. You will see road agents & non-wrestlers showing up in the search bar. It's really annoying & looks messy IMO. The stuff that annoys me the most is the things that 2016 had, yet 2020 doesn't have for some reason. The "view" button next to each worker shouldn't be something we have to go without. The screen got bigger, yet the angle screen somehow has less features. I'd also like for the angle screen to have a "tag team" refinement option. Or at least give us a "view tag teams" button so I don't need to exit all the way out to go see who is in a tag team. So many small QoL things the game needs.

That would be nice, been asking for that since the demo was released. 2016 had it, why can't 2020?

This is not a glitch. This is just weird programming. Sargent Slaughter is a road agent in my company. He is on hiatus & for some reason still tries to be used for matches & angles. The game catches it & says he can't be used, but how about instead of just stopping me. The game just excludes him from showing up? Can we please not have people that are unavailable (in this case due to being on hiatus), still show up for roles they are not available to use? Road agents still show up & I swear that in 2016 if someone wasn't available, they wouldn't show up, period. Thanks, also please give better refining options to the angle booker screen, storyline booking menu & the main screen of the tournament booking screen. Luv u.

I think the game should be rated off of viewership ratings instead of some weird grade of how good a show was. I get the logic behind it. But why do broadcasters care if you have a "highly rated show." They only care if it gets good viewership ratings. The game should be based on those ratings more than some overall angle & match grading basis. I know it will technically boil down to the same thing. High Ratings mean good show, low ratings mean bad show. I think there is more to consider though in that aspect. Like shows that have 90 rating, could lead to high viewership ratings & give a boost to next weeks viewers because last week was a good show. Same with a bad show. Right now if you have a fantastic show. It just means more pop. It doesn't have any extra effects to it. Consistent great shows should add popularity boosts, add more money due to more people watching & it could have other bonuses too! If shows were based on viewership, instead of ratings. or find a way to mix the two in order to make fan viewership more of a thing. TEW could have a fresh new way to present itself. I know each match is based off of a percentile of pop & wrestling skill. What if for the shows overall viewership rating was based off of star power & popularity of the people on the show? I know Figureheads help attendance, but why doesn't high rated stars on a show help the overall viewership ratings? They introduced pre-booking, yet another cool thing. but I don't think TV ratings improve if you pre-book some stars to be on the show. I think it stays the same. I feel like the game could focus more on TV than it currently does. If you have multiple good shows in a row, do you get a viewership bump? I don't think so. Sure, you get momentum, prestige & more popularity. But those are kind of stagnant. Say you have 3 great shows in a row, that should lead to a big bump in viewership & give a bonus to popularity gains, because more people are watching due to recent success of shows. I think the same could go if you have 3 bad shows in a row. People will stop watching & eventually you'll get dwindling ratings, less money & eventually start hurting your stars for being associated with a bad show. I currently have a negative perception of the people on RAW & Smackdown due to how bad the shows have been. So it's a realistic thing to have that happen. Storylines should have a bigger impact than just. "Not enough hot storylines." A hot storyline should bring higher viewership to the show. Especially if you pre-book an angle or match with a hot storyline on the show. Right now, if you meet the games requirement for how angles. I guess you get a small boost to the angle they are involved in. It doesn't help boost much else though. If the game was based on TV viewership, the fans could be brought in at a higher rating due to wanting to see what happens next in the hot angle. Leading to higher viewership ratings. I think there is a lot that can be done with what I'm talking about here. I know it wouldn't be implemented, but I'm just saying the current way TEW does it's TV isn't very interesting or exciting. Book good show, stay on TV. Book a few bad shows, get kicked off TV for a year. Sounds really boring & unexciting. Make it to where the show relies on viewership & fan prospective. Where it fluctuates with star quality, popularity, hot storylines. You can really make it like the Monday night wars. I know ultimately, you can dismiss this by saying the game kind of already does it with the overall show rating, it just doesn't sound as inciting as trying to beat the other show with actual viewership ratings. I think the current way they show viewership is just kind of like a flavor text email. I don't even know if it has any baring on anything.

So another case of removing sandbox in order to make it more of a strict simulation game, play the way the developer wants you to play. Not the way you want to play. My bad for not wanting to look through a manual. It's not a fun mechanic. It's an unnecessary punishment in a game that is supposed to be what we want to make it. You can make the argument that it's supposed to be challenging, sure. That doesn't mean it should be straight up punishing with killing you off TV for a couple bad shows. Any time I start up a new company like WWE or WCW. I am bound to have at least 2 bad shows to start. Usually get popped for not having enough interesting storylines, or a bad main event because I'm getting into the groove of things. Plus broadcasters sometimes have unreasonable expectations. Saw one I think that was in the 80's. So after my first couple bad shows. Now I'm on thin ice with the broadcaster? One, two, maybe three more bad shows & I'm dead in the water for TV. Doesn't sound very fun to me. I'm sure someone would say "Just adjust the TV time so you don't have such high expectations." That doesn't sound very fun either. Then WCW will just keep Nitro on it's normal time & I'll be on late night or evening time. Not much of a Monday night war to me! Point is, I don't want to be thrown off for a couple bad shows. I seriously only need to look at current day WWE in order to show my proof. Current day RAW gets like 1.5-2 million viewers a week. Unless USA & FLIPPING FOX have a crazy low expectation in real life. I know Youtubers that average over that number on a regular basis. Heck, I know Youtubers that upload daily & get double or triple the numbers WWE gets with their TV deals! Kind of off topic, but still! Change the way the game works in that way is all I'm saying.

That's really bad! I wasn't aware it was 3 strikes & you're out. Doesn't seem very realistic to me. I'm positive Fox has to be annoyed with the constantly lowering ratings from Smackdown, yet they don't throw them off the air! I get it's a game, so it will have some gamey features. That doesn't mean it should be so static. I don't recall ever getting thrown off TV in 2016 for bad ratings. Even if I did, I wouldn't sweat it. I could just go sign with another TV deal. Now I'm locked out for a year & basically dead in the water unless I make my own broadcaster. Then again, isn't self owned subscription based broadcasters like super broken? I feel like I heard people talking about that. I personally never make it farther than a month into a save in 2020 so I can't really comment on it. I usually get bored & give up. Wonder if that's just on me or something. Let's say it's on me.

I definently don't want to go back to that 2016 way for contracts. There are many things I wish 2020 would do how it used to do in 2016. The contracts are not one of them. Every few days I'd have people asking for more & more money. It was very annoying in 2016 & I'm glad they removed that aspect.

I don't mind it. I agree that they could defiantly make it more sever though. If it does cap at 4 years & then it doesn't increase in asking price for longer years. I think they should increase that. Best example I can think of is Mark Henry making like 180,000$ a month or something like that for his 10 year contract. I like the idea of someone taking a gamble with a 10 year contract & it being super expensive, only for the wrestler to not be worth anything though.

I agree! Technically the player should never be in any danger of being kicked off. If he is kicked off, then he should be paid some sort of cancellation package. Just like if I wanted to cancel a show, they would make me pay millions of dollars to cancel it. Maybe this would be a silly thing to add to the game, but adding some sort of suing mechanic. So I can take the broadcaster to court & make a claim for some money after getting thrown off the air for poor ratings. That might be too outlandish, but I'm just saying.

I honestly don't understand the thought process for this. So if WWF canceled their USA deal. That means we won't get any TV deal in american for a whole year for WWF? Are you kidding me?!? That's an awful mechanic that I really don't see the value in. Maybe the logic is the company has a bad rep after getting kicked off, but even then. That doesn't hold up at all! Sure, Eric didn't go through buying WCW because TNT wasn't willing to give them the TV time. That doesn't mean they couldn't shop it around & see options. I had to straight up give up on a game because this was implemented & I was basically screwed. Didn't know it was coming & was shocked that something like that would be in the game. I strongly suggest removing that in future updates. Kind of annoyed at myself for not bringing this up 3 weeks ago.

I only do segments very rarely. Just booking multi-man matches & the occasional in-ring challenge from someone who wins a multi-man match or post match challenges from people not in the match. Also doing 1-3 minute hype videos for big matches. Entrance/post match celebrations are good as well.

Game is getting there. Still needs a "view roster" button on the screen when setting up a storyline & also for tournaments. Also add buttons for viewing tag teams to more screens. Sometimes I don't know a company that well or want to see what teams I have. I don't want to need to back out completely to go view tag teams. Also Add what tag teams a wrestler is in on the roster screen. They have a ton of info on the screen, yet no tag info. I'm starting to think the only way to solve this on my side would be to make every tag team in my company a stable so I can see their names on the bio screen without needing to hunt that info down. Also, been awhile so I figure I should mention the need for better refinement in the angle screens again. I don't want road agents being suggested to me by default. It's 1997, I'm WCW & don't know for sure if Arn is retired yet. So I book him & then find out he's not even a wrestler. That't annoying to me & sure, I could go look & see to make sure, but 2016 didn't have this issue when searching for people. I just clicked "mid-card" and everyone with an push of "mid-card" popped up without me needing to worry about it. I'm just saying a "In-ring" vs "non In-Ring" button on the angle screen would be neat. I'm guessing this is coming down the pipeline when we finally get the finances & other major issues fixed. I just figured I'd mention it again.

This is just true. Look at most Joshi's. The women start young & retire young. I can think of like 10 different women that retired in the last year. I don't even follow Joshi as closely as others do. Women will tend to retire young either because they find a man "speculation from me" (Hazuki) Decide they want to start a family (Yoko Bito) or retire due to injury's KONAMI, Arisa Hoshiki. Nothing wrong with any of those reasons, but these are legit reasons why women leave. We don't even know if Becky will be coming back. She could have her baby & then decide that's better than anything else. I hate to make this a gender thing, but women aren't necessarily built for long term wrestling. Their bodies aren't mean't to be beaten on for 15+ years. I'm talking physically here. Men have meat to absorb the blows. Women tend to be very tiny & slim. The body get's banged up & can lead to retirement faster than men. I'm not saying they mentally don't have the same drive, physically they tend to break down quicker than men.

This is fantastic BTW.

Any chance someone has an updated version of KtB mod with a bunch of joshi companies added?

Love it! These are so fantastic!!!! Any consideration for Japanese promotions? Maybe some NOAH, AJPW or NJPW logos? They can be a little rough to find ones but I figured I'd ask.
