Astil Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I am so eagerly waiting for this game. Almost every feature has been something amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskanHero Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I remember that feature from '04. It really wasn't effective for me because the Cornellverse was so new at that point and I didn't know who anyone was. Now that I'm so attached to the default data, I see it being really helpful. Even more so if it was the old EWR style of "So and so has youth, talent, and charisma", giving you a list of workers worth looking at and workers who's contracts are coming to an end.

Dragonmack Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I am happy there is more purpose to the booking team as before they were just extra fluff with no substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alden Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I wonder if booking skills of the people are going to come into play. I mean, if you have somone with a f- in booking on your team are they going to sugest poor workers to hire or to push weak people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsFan915 Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 As much as I'm loving the new game features, I'm really hoping for some info on the 2008-era Cornellverse, and some of the in-game changes (new promotions, new workers, workers who have gotten majorly over with a new gimmick, and the like).

D-Lyrium Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I'm pretty sure you'll have to wait for release for that. We *all* will :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A character with a good booking skill should be able to say things like "His style might clash with half our roster, but Axxis Jr. is an impressive enough talent that we should sign him anyway" or "Calvin Dark may not look like much at the moment, but if we put him in the right matches he's going to EXPLODE over the next year or so." A character with a low booking skill would also give advice like this, only it wouldn't be as grounded in reality. "Sign American Elemental now" looks like good advice until you find out that his Destiny came up "Criminal/Drunk" for this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladamire Dracos Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 Heck, and I thought I was the only one with the vision to push "The Black Mark" Calvin Dark to the moon. Of course, I'm a heavy drinker. That might have something to do with it. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamelessposer Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 And today's update, depending on database size, can go from "minor but interesting" to "minor but vital." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeyserSoze Posted May 6, 2008 Share Posted May 6, 2008 I've the impression that Adam is trying to make a "perfect show" with the new additions in TEW. He begun strong, then he put some minor things in the middle, and he is finishing strong again. I need this game. :D :D :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Yay for decreased loading times! The loading has always been a pain in the ass. Not for touring promotions, since you can read a book or something in-between the off months, but hey. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
