djthefunkchris Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 [QUOTE=Jonfun;423525]I would prefer 3 years.[/QUOTE] I'm at ends with that... Quite a bit I work with smaller promotions, and only have like 12 events all year, so that's not that bad, 5 years = 60 shows. By then I would know if what I'm doing is working out and such, pluss the combination of the New "Skip" till whatever you want to skip to reasonably, it could really go by fast. I would feel sorry for people doing a WWE'ish type of promotion, with 156 shows a year, not counting PPV's... though. SO, it would probably seem like forever going that route. It's still better then what it was though, and I think we should at least play it, and give proper feedback from all angle's, before saying it's too long..... Remember, this is an "Added" feature, not an improvement on an existing one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PunkFan84 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 the new owner feature seems cool and five years isn't really that much tbh especially considering if you start from scratch and build your promotion right to the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Wayne Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 esp since, depending on how you play, you can make global in as little as 4 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaper_ofall Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 And well heck if your really that determined to leave your own promotion, simply "shutdown" the promotion for the last couple of years your forced to work for it and stop doing any shows.

shamelessposer Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 [QUOTE=Michael Wayne;423625]esp since, depending on how you play, you can make global in as little as 4 years.[/QUOTE] I have a feeling that the improved AI plus the national/regional battle system mean this is no longer true. Or at least I hope it isn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorRobertRage Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Newest Update = I love Adam. Small but easily a selling point for me. I'm seriously considering buying '08 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtCabana Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Yeah, the last visited/last seen feature sounds like it will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerkinney Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 I agree with the sentiment of the last few posts, not the most major update but one that makes alot of sense. In alot of ways it's the attention to some of the minor details on top of some of the more groundbreaking features, that will make this game extra special. With the sheer amount of new features/improvements Adam has announced for the game, it's hard to see how he will be top this with future editions of TEW. Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself and it'll turn out to be utterly rubbish :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The realistic, fun and innovative wrestling simulator would soon turn into a first-person 3D shooter called TEW 360: Combat Evolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky Sinister Posted May 17, 2008 Share Posted May 17, 2008 Another week of exciting new features. The new weight class distribution is interesting, and (though I'm pretty sure this was posted last week) I really like having the ability to change the product settings for different brands. That brings up some really interesting booking ideas that I've only been halfway able to implement in the past. Can't wait for the release of the editor, either. I've been updating and tweaking my home-brew database for a couple of weeks now, and being able to port it over and start adding new features is tantalizing. Hmm. Guess I should clear some time out next weekend... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurrikane Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Erm ... Hasn't today's journal already been posted previously? EDIT: Entry number 31: "The second is that certain owners will be happy to do the job of owner and head booker by themselves, rather than always looking to hire someone else to take on the booker role. This is linked to their personality and their booking skill; an extremely greedy and controlling owner may choose to stay in complete control even if he is a terrible booker, whereas other owners - even if just as greedy - may be self-aware enough to realise that they're not that good and be willing to bring in an outsider. Again, this aids the realism of the game." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping von Erich Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Thank Jesus, death to lifetime contracts! That feature really excites me when it comes to the C-verse data, the DeColts and Stones all being able to be signed away by bigger more powerful companies.. sexy.

Eisen-verse Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I thought Lifetime removal would probably be lifted with this game and I'm happy that it is. I like how it weights more heavily on the relationships now instead of just instantly being locked into a lifetime contract. Makes it more realistic, ya know? All in all, This will give people the ability to possibly (as someone said above) pull a DeColt or a Stone from Canada and have them run in the States. How I would LOVE to see Cornell vs. any one of them! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Vest Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I was thinking the owners being able to go over your head and sign certain guys to long term deals was a hint that lifetime contracts would be no more. I am glad to see it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
