LoganRodzen Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 The internet feature is one of the biggest things TEW fans wanted to see come back from the EWR series and now we have it. I wonder if Adam got all tingly inside when he knew so many people were going to be happy with his journal update today. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1PWfan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 So, what's the thoughts on the new owner goals? Myself, I like them. The fact that we can break the preference goals and such is good, and the range of owner goals adds verisimilitude without taking away from the fun aspect of the game.

Rob4590 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Although I never had any problems with owner goals in 07, I think this is a great update - it's much more realistic In 07: Owner: You can't sign anyone over the age of 40 Booker: Oh......ok :mad: In 08: Owner: I'd prefer you not to sign anyone over the age of 40 Booker: But I want to sign Steve Flash, who can wrestle rings around everyone on the roster, and will help them all improve. Owner: Well i'm not happy about it, but if it increases the bank balance and our popularity then ok - but beware if it all goes wrong and costs me money!

theaddicane Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Hoorah! I hope that owner goals can be tied to relationships. For instance, it's said that Vinny Mac likes CM Punk. I hope that in TEW you may see a goal relating to CM Punk's momentum, something like "Vince says keep Punk's momentum around B+" because Vince has taken a shine to him.

Trackersan Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Wow! The Owner Goals posted today is the update I've been waiting for! As if I weren't sold already on buying 08, it's a sure thing now. The goals in 07 had to be one of the most frustrating aspects of the game, especially when you'd get a game all set up, advance to day 2 and then get the "you can't hire anyone who works somewhere else" goal. Thanks for responding and addressing the owner goals Adam...can't wait for the rest of the updates and the game itself...of course ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yes! Yes! Yes! Improved owner goals rock. Rock hard. I'm gonna be the biggest corporate stooge ever. I can't wait to have to push up the world's worst workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Jobs To Me Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Is there any chance of an 11th hour add-on for progressively angrier e-mails from your boss as you blatantly disregard their wishes? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I love it. I might actually play Straight Edge mode in 08. I've always liked the idea of Owner Goals, but didn't feel the execution was right in 07. This sounds great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to evoke a genuine emotional response that would make me want to follow orders beyond the 'health bar' would rock in my book. Although the health bar is great, I'd love there to be more consequences... The owner firing random employee's when I disobey? Cutting my budget?

Showtime4Lajf Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I realize this was in the journal a while ago but I was wondering something about the ability to bring in people from other game areas: Will it be easier for, say, a European promotion to convince a worker based in the UK to come work for them than it will for a company in Canada because of the relatively short distance? If this has already been answered and I missed it, just disregard this post. Oh, and I absolutely love the new owner goals. I never had too many problems with the old ones, but this is definately giving them a whole new dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panix04 Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 The new owner goals seems kind similar to the board confidence in football manager, love it! Top new feature, probably my favourite so far. Can't believe how many great ideas have been put in already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Casey Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Yep, along with everyone else - I love this! I can now play a Straight Edge diary game without worrying too much about getting canned because of an owner goal. Fantastic adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappyboy Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Add another huzzah to the list on the tweaking of owner goals. A lot of points have been mentioned already. But what I like here is how you can dismiss some of the owner's preferences for the good of completing the greater goals. Having that owner confidence bar and being able to determine if you can afford to bring in a talent older than the owner wants for the good of his pet talent's push is awesome. Makes the interaction between owner and player so much more realistic and immersive. Makes me curious how he might address things between player and roster. But for now I am pumped about how the relational end of 08 is shaping up. Was already looking plenty forward to 07 but this just takes things to whole other level for me.

jesterx7769 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I love the new goals, it will make the game that much more fun as it is something to "work for" rather than just trying to become big. I also like the critical goals are gone, it made me mad when I failed it one time since then that game with that promotion is pretty much dead.
