crayon Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Even more pure speculation than the last pure speculation, but I (who has absolutely nothing to do with the development of the game besides whining on suggestion forums) think we'll see a spruced up contract system that gives more leway to the size = contract types of the past. Which means a straight up work-around may not even be necessary I could be completely wrong, but still, I'm willing to bet my first promotion i select in the game on it!

Which means a straight up work-around may not even be necessary I could be completely wrong, but still, I'm willing to bet my first promotion i select in the game on it! I don't know if it will be completely different from what is layed out, but I think enough "example's" has probably been laid out to consider a change.. SO I do agree to a point. I'm hoping that size of promotion vs. Popularity of Character will give us a way for written contracts. I'm thinking if nothing else, the size needed for a written contract will be narrowed down, and perhaps the money you must pay will be higher if your smaller, etc. Either way I think a change is definately coming. The over-all way we hire, I think will generally stay the same so that these new features will be utilized. I'm digging the character development. I haven't really commented on it, as I had to think about it for a while. I do feel that it's important to feel like your advancing a bit, and this is a sure way of doing so. I think I'll just start out rounded off with five points in each, and as I play hopefully I will gain extra points to put in the ones that seem to be needed.... I'd like to add, that feature's like that seem to coincide with other feature's that go hand in hand.... meaning, I don't see us getting these points, without a reason to utilize them (ying/yang) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCanada Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 #7: AI Event Booking Instructions Fulfilling a popular request, TEW2010 now features the ability for specific AI-controlled events to be set to be booked in a certain way. There are five options that can be assigned: - Entire show to be 1 vs 1 matches - Entire show to be 2 vs 2 matches - Entire show to be 3 vs 3 matches - Entire show to be 4 vs 4 matches - Show to feature a large battle royal match (default of 30 participants, reduced if the promotion does not have a large enough roster to support it) This allows the real world Survivor Series and Royal Rumble scenarios to be simulated. Pretty darn good, minor, addition. Allowing the Rumble to be simulater properly is something I think a lot of real-world players have been begging for.

FINisher Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'm interest to see which Cornellverse promotions will use this in their events. Lucha promotions would of course have 3vs3 event but a Survivor Series kind of event for any big promotion isn't out of the question is it? Or a royal rumble for that matter.

Self Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Solid addition. I will mention that as of this moment, based on the announced features, I will not be buying this game. The features are all positives, all improvements, but Adam hasn't sold it to me... yet. I'm still waiting for that one awesome feature that gets me personally excited. I bought '08 on the strength of the Repetitive Booking Penalty system, I have no idea what '10 will have to match up to that, but I reckon Adam's got something up his sleeve.

D-Lyrium Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Well... that was certainly unnecessary. Let's not get our panties in a twist, yes? So Self hasn't seen enough to buy the game yet - how does that affect you in any way? As you yourself said, we've only seen seven features.

TeemuFoundation Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 seems to be a rather "say something negative for no real reason" post... I mean, Adam has already stated more than 200 new features as opposed to the TEW 07-08 that only had 100. And you are writing it off after 7 have been announced? I mean, sure you said "yet" and all. But does that mean I can say anything about anything as long as I say yet. As of this moment, based on everything I've heard you say, I can only be certian that you are a child molester... You havnt sold me on the fact you arnt a child molester... yet... EDIT: Not that a "not really impressed with these additions thus far, would really like to see example 1, example 2, or example 3 before I get excited to really want to run out and buy 10. Granted there are still at least 183 more additions to be made." post is bad... But that shows thought and sense. I dunno. I think some of the boards posts (especially in relation to TEW 2010) have all become really negative with no real reasoning. I can sit here too and just blast out negativity. I could of said that addition #7 was really just cosemetic and a bit of a let down, but I didnt. I made mention it was a little tweak that would really appease some people, knowing a larger change may come between journal entries 8-100 at least. He has the right to state his opinions. And he wasn't being negative, he just said that Adam hasn't sold TEW to him, yet. And that's that. He's still waiting for the absolute showstopper to make him want to buy TEW the day it's released and there's nothing wrong with that. A lot of you people really attack on anyone saying anything other than "Great feature!" I'm almost sold myself, though. I'm waiting for togglable chemistry to be added to the user preferences and then it's sold for me. If we don't get togglable chemistry this time around, I might reconsider buying the game, as no matter how good the new features made TEW 2010, the random chemistry would still be there to ruin my games and it would bother me. Togglable chemistry is the one, huge feature that would sell any future TEW to me. But we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought '08 on the strength of the Repetitive Booking Penalty system, I have no idea what '10 will have to match up to that, but I reckon Adam's got something up his sleeve. IMO, besides the dirt sheet, Adam hasn't announced the REALLY BIG features yet (and people are downplaying the dirt sheet - it's HUGE, believe me. It's not fluff). There are about 8-11 new features that I see as the TEW equivalent of 'system sellers'. Two or three of them have been speculated on in the thread already, one has been announced, still quite a few left. But don't hate me for saying that.

TeemuFoundation Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I'd say the Narratives and National Trends are pretty huge and great features, but again, that's just me. But we'll just have to continue following the Journal as it goes on. I really enjoy this part of being a TEW fan. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> I think waiting for the next edition to come out is really exciting, especially with Adam doing the Journal.

dvdWarrior Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 <p>I think this 'Booking Instructions' thing is far from a minor addition.

Woodsmeister Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 seems like such a small feature but will play a big part in real world mods and like mentioned previous im interested to see if the cornellverse promotions use such events <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
