AndyJP Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Two things that I hope for are more alternate character avatars and real names for all the workers in the description. Sometimes I don't like a gimmick or name so I like to have their real name to fall back on... which I know must sound incredibly dumb because I could just make up a name because they're not real, well they're REAL TO ME DAMN IT! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1PWfan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This is going to be an interesting addition to the game. I've never really payed much attention to consistency, and whilst I can't say this will force it onto my list of important stats (talented workers on an off night can still deliver better matches than on-form but less talented workers), it'll be interesting seeing how this affects the results.

hakk99 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I am very excited about the new emphasis on consistency. One of the reasons booking becomes a bit dull is simply because you know what you will get from certain workers every time and it isn't difficult to build a show around that. Besides the danger of an inconsistent worker spoiling a main event, you could place a worker in the next to last match as a safety precaution, and then have him put on his best performance of the year and burn out the crowd for the main event. Now when that talented but flaky worker puts on his best work it will be something to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I just hope that their inconsistency rating isn't consistant.. meaning that if they do keep spoiling your matches that you will have some sorta options for telling them to shape up or ship out (eg. punishment by depushing them, burying them in a match, giving them a wack gimmick, a verbal dressing down, whatever), that could make their rating a little better (even if only temporary). Of course it wouldn't work for everyone, and some it could even backfire. Just seems a little nicer than having a) book around it and b) fire them be your only options. (and hey, even if a worker says he'll get his act in check, it doesn't actually mean he will ;)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr T Jobs To Me Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Ahhh, my old standby of botched interference. So good to have you back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 With the addition of another three finishes, might I suggest a second drop-down menu that's solely for the finishes, and seperate from [protect, victor, loser, etc]? Just in the interest of making things easier to navigate. Of course, I just realized that there's the issue of when you click "add note" that it'd need to know which drop-down menu you were using... so, I propose being able to swap between the drop-downs with a little button :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bus Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Nice to have these finishes back. The distraction is good as I don't want my tiny valets attacking the monsters and therefore costing the monster the match. The botched interference was just great and I'm so happy to see it back.

Guest Bolton Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 What a great feature to comeback. Ryland's really pulling out the stops. Although it was hilarious in 07 where the petite SWF divas could attack monsters like Runaway Train and cost them the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Prime Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just when I thought Adam had added everything that was missing in 07, he adds three finishes that I know I'll be putting to good use. Not to mention the various other changes since I last commented in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moe Hunter Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Thank Jeebuz, I know I've been involved in threads about these finishes coming back! Now all we need is special refs and interference counting towards storylines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad5226 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 The ref swerve ending it a nice addition. The only thing that concerns me abou that is if I have a wrestler be the special gues ref so I can have a finish like that, won't I still get a penalty because he sucks as a ref Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falling_star Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 w00t! The three new finishes will definitely be put to good use; try as I might, I just can't seem to get a 'botched interference' finish in TEW2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D16NJD16 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 is it just me or is there no possible way, with it being at #54 less then a month away from the release, for the journal to make it to #100? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crayon Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I thought it released June? I may be mistaken though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Yeah, it's released in June. I've been forgetting all about May lately, always thinking that if I could get through April, TEW'd be there waiting for me, but alas, we still have a whole extra month to go after that. We'll make it through somehow though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Self Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Race seems cool. One of those things you don't know is missing until it's announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD61572 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I guess the next logical step would be the ability to make some characters racists. Since in some regions you get helped by your race maybe in some regions your race could hurt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chriswok Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The Race addition seems a bit pointless really, personally don't know if it was needed. The 'Boost' feature could have been tied in with where a person was born surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bus Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 The race feature is nice, as I hated the fact that anyone could work with any gimmicks. Of course the stats limitations, but you all know what I mean. Should I put Paul London as a Sucka or Jim Duggan as a Sheik? Or how about Rey Mysterio as a Redneck...

Chriswok Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 Well, in terms of gimmicks being used I guess that makes sense. However, I wasn't aware that the AI assigned gimmicks, and from a user point of view common sense could/should have been used. Jimmy Wang Yang is Asian has done the redneck gimmick, would you have to assign him to a comedy redneck gimmick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the JWY redneck gimmick is a comedy gimmick as JBL was laughing at JWY for trying to be a redneck or a cowboy or whatever. Yes it's a comedy gimmick, IMO.
