This looks great. Thanks for the work.

LOL

I've not played the game since June. Has Adam added any 2020 pandemic parameters to the game? No audiences etc...?

Wow I really like the sound of this. I would really like to see how ECW is setup. I think it should be set to tape three shows at a time with a monthly event. That's probably the most realistic representation.

I don't see the penalty as a reason to not book the match. You could still do Foley/Edge, accrue the penalty and still have a great TEW rating. That type of match was presented on PPV and marketed to a bloodthirsty sect of fans which has never been WWE's target audience. Even if they throw them a bone now and then.

Yeah you don't have to utilize any aims not required by your product. But using them creates a better show. I can't make a map but this is my understanding of aim's. I usually play a company with a similar product to WCW. A lot of people say they never use aims because when they do they don't work for them because they aren't following a flow. Let's say your show is rated on the main event mostly, then it doesn't really matter about how good the rest of the card is, the main event is what matters (see WM5). The last 3 matches on Mania 5 go like this... Duggan/Bad News go to a draw - Match Aim = cool crowd (if you have a hot storyline the rating won't be abysmal) Rooster/Heenan ends in a quick 30 seconds - Match Aim = Lift the Crowd (strong storyline = not abysmal rating) Hogan/Savage ends after 17 minutes - Match Aim = Spectacular ..................................... There are variations you can toy with depending on your product. For instance your cool down match could be a comedy match if your product isn't keen on them, or your warm up match could be a comedy match if your product is keen on them. Same for sex appeal matches.

There are pros and cons to every wrestling promotion in real life. At Mania a lot of people loved The Boneyard match and a lot of people didn't, simply because it was a cinematic mach. That's a real life penalty. So having that ingrained into the system for this game now is pretty cool and makes you book more well rounded and less concerned with the best angle possible and more concerned with many other little details that make the whole show good.

Mayhem is overbooked. Wild Brawl isn't.

Your map it correct in some instances. But going by your map, booking a Spectacular or Epic, or Technical Masterclass will always fail. If you want to end your show with a Spectacular or Epic you need to level out the crowd before. The simplest way is to do a cool down match followed by a warm up and then the Epic/Spectacular. Technical Masterclass is the same, it also works as an opener.

I have also really been enjoying having the chemistry editor. I'm abusing the hell out of it tbh.

I think if you are a large company your main title should be an achievement. In the real world mod I'm playing the creator has the Royal Rumble set as an achievement which gives a nice note in the news about the match and victory. Same with G1.</p>

Current game on the 91 Rising Storm Mod... It's November 91, I'm soon growing to large size.. AWA World Heavyweight Champ - Hulk Hogan AWA World Tag Team Champs - Rick Martel & Ricky Steamboat AWA International Television Champ - Barry Windham

I have been doing this for so long... It's time to come clean. Even though the universe I've created doesn't involve all of you, you are a part of this too and I begat you to confess your own TEW 2020 Booking Sins. - I have done things with the editor that I shudder to say aloud. Changing contracts of performers to suit my liking both their terms and riches (oh their children!) - I have even taken on the face of another booker only to release a worker or change a companies schedule that has nothing to do with me but only for my own interest I change the course of time. - I have edited Broadcasters so that I could work with them without beholding to strict rules... Also when I play 90's real world mods you can bet two things. 1. I will always push Tatanka to be my 2nd top babyface. 2. I will always sign and give Dan Severn higher entertainment stats and over push him to the moon. What are your booking SINS?

I've always wanted this as well. I think an easy option for programming and fun would be an option when negotiating for a show with no matches only angles. Also another option for Adam would be if you booked a B show you don't "have" to book any matches.

True. But did you know that when you are on any given page that you have a question about and you hit the question mark you will be brought to the relevant section in the guide?

I would assume that would take a lot of re-programming and not likely to happen.

Everybody wants the same thing we just have to articulate it in a way that is a simple for Adam to program and without having to reprogram else as an affect from the change at all. The idea of simply adding a note to the company hiring rules in the editor that the company cannot offer written contracts to international workers as an option, just like you can select a company to only hire heavyweights, is probably the easiest and most likely way to get Adam to add this element which would mean so much to our real world mods.

<p>It's very rare and I cannot name an instance of a non Japanese wrestler ever signing a contract that prohibited them from working in the United States and assorted international promotions. This should also apply to Mexico. I think the realism of Adam just adding this to company notes is possibly. </p><p> </p><p> This is a note that I want for AI companies specifically.</p>

I think this would be a great hiring rule to add to the game. "Cannot hire foreign workers to written contracts" I think this would make a lot of real world games more realistic.

I'm likely to play this! How big is the game world?

I cannot explain everything about pop caps, I really don't know all the details. But as far as your issue I think there are some factors you can consider. What is your company size right now? Also, what is your tv deal? This mod starts with WWF on a medium syndication for Superstars if I remember correctly. So it looks like to me you are likely big or large sized and are running your A show on a medium sized channel thus not getting enough viewers to bump up whatever hidden pop caps the game has created for your workers. So I think the best advice there is, get the best TV deal you can. Also perhaps look at the gimmicks of the workers make sure they are going well. Perhaps also look at the workers physical condition, if you want them to get more popular you can ask them to get bigger or improve muscularity. That should also raise the pop cap, in theory. Also remember your product is for WWF in the 90's so the game is capable of actually recreating that vibe. So book like they did when it was good. Don't jump the gun and start looking for Benoit's and pushing Michaels too fast too early etc.... Taker wasn't an in ring genius in 92 so maybe you are expecting too much?

Double check that Bandido was signed to an EXCLUSIVE written deal and not just written. Sounds like that may be the issue you are having.

Yeah I think that is the right idea. I'd say by that point in the game you're at least large so you should be able to get a station above medium sized like the Syndication in the mod.

I think that in retrospect Warrior should be free spirit with a lot of enemies to replicate his real experience. Not everyone hated him. Heenan was probably the one that hated him the most.

With few minor in game adjustments I've made to attributes, chemistry and other edits I've played 2 years into this MOD so far. I love it, great job! I'm playing an AWA revival, I'm at number 3 in the world, medium, TV deal with ESPN and no PPV's. I'm making over 500k a month right now after 2 years with the industry at 10% and rising and a high economy. Yes I run squash matches on my A show but not exclusively. I have a two hour weekly show and usually have 6-7 matches, at least 3 of those matches will have workers that are not recognizable. If you run with Main Event focus on your product then you can really get away with booking the way wrestling was in the 90's and 80's.
