Face and heel gimmicks, like in the Filter for "Find Inspiration" are cosmetic now.

I didn't notice an even minor upgrade in speed when I bought a SSD, and when I also significantly upgraded my computer. I would still recommend buying one just in general, if you play "real" video games or do stuff like video editing and such, but a blanket recommendation to make TEW run faster just doesn't work for everybody.

It's in the last place you'd look... the actual main menu :/ It's "Play By Play Controls" at the bottom left.

No I don't think so. The game doesn't really simulate that anyway.

Right click the .exe, and go to Properties. Rename the file to include "[sPACE]-unlicense" at the end BEFORE ".exe" It would look like this...

I don't edit stats but I have edited popularity down to feel more progression. I don't feel a lot of mods handle the upper echelon of popularity that great, but it's a minor complaint.

You could put threads like this as posts in the Random Screenshots Thread.

Unfortunately there's no functional benefit from teasing a turn in 20 segments than teasing a turn in the standard 4 segments. You might as well just pretend you're booking something in the game, in your head (like the majority of playing this game).

Are you sure your color guy is set to be a color guy in the screen with Wrestler/Road Agent/Announcer/Manager/Etc? The order in the Announcer screen doesn't matter.

I always change my TCW product to Slobberknocker when I play as them. It's pretty much the same product as the one they have by default, while giving me an interesting goal of only having clean finishes, and gives a bit more individuality.

I think that was a bug.

They're not though. The company popularity should be aligned with the wrestlers' popularity, which they already are. This isn't a database issue. The relation between company popularity and base level attendance levels is just wrong and unrealistic, embedded into the game's code. The scalability isn't correct, and also throws off the financial management aspect of the game.

No you're not mistaken and there's nothing you can do about it. Greydog Software was created in 2004 and the only innovation is that TEW games used to be 1024 x 768 resolution in 2016 and now they're 1360 x 768 resolution in 2020.

Yes, the figures are absolutely busted and insanely unrealistic. In my head canon, the Cornellverse is an alternate universe where the general public just REALLY loves wrestling, and has no other hobbies or sporting events (except the NBA playoffs and the Super Bowl, which are official Cornellverse canon.)

This is some good content for the Cornellposts thread.

For me, this seems like the C-Verse Databse is a square peg and the game is a round hole. It doesn't really make a whole lot of sense in the lore of the database that the company is so hard to play, even in the previous games. Their product can also be brutal.

There actually was something severely wrong with the original file. Like pretty much every road agent had 0 experience, so they all sucked. I fixed it in the database because I was playing games with it, and, since this was bumped, I have updated the original post with the new database. I played a couple games, the longest was one year. Seemed to work alright...

Yeah it says so in the "dirt sheet" when running a match.

It would be cool to create a more fantasy base to the already fantasy world of the Cornellverse, similar to '97 or '18. This is just me spitballing because I want to bring this up because there's nowhere else to put this, but I think what draws people to the C-Verse is that is it isn't a reflection of real life. The original 2005 (and 2004) data was more of a fantastical, nostalgic representation of the "good old days" when wrestling was actually fun to watch, and it kept evolving from there. Ironically, though the current C-Verse data now is basically a nostalgia trip itself-- 2020 not as much as 2016. The real life situation of one mega-company is bleak.

Sure you could do that. I would also suggest checking out a remote desktop/screen sharing software instead, though.

It's very strange-- I have been playing this game forever, and I can't recall a single time where I actively tried pushing someone to the main event that didn't end up working out.

I'm guessing that it won't "ruin it." The affect would probably be very minimally bad-- like a stall leaning to the negative.

Every single link on both BeTheBooker and TEWDB that I tried worked.

He's a professional wrestler... that owned his own company where he exploited his workers by making the most money and being the main star. No question he was top-right on the political compass.
