Wrestling Century Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 The purpose of the journal is to peak people's interest around the time of release, next year. It really does not matter to me whether people have been "blown away" yet - in November, potentially months away from the release, after a small amount of announcements - all that matters is how people feel about the game when we reach the end of the journal. Yep. I assume that your plan is to gradually build up interest and then when we get closer to release date you'll reveal all the mind-blowing announcements!

GDE71 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 If I were a mod maker or a player who uses mods, I'd have already creamed my pants and been headed to the shower. Having said all that, I like to play Cverse and only Cverse. The early entries were nice and I'm sure there will be several more that I like a lot. Right now, except for the Outside Media thing, the last 2 weeks have been ho-hum for me. That's cool as others have been able to get messy pants over the last 2 weeks. There is enough TEW 10 for us to share. I'm hoping it's ready for us to get to play late January, early February. As I want to start a new game and right now all I do is mess around in 08 with no real direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedraem41 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Not sure if I totally see the benefit to having regens in TEW... I do hope that the old school randomly generated folks will still be around. My thoughts exactly the randoms still need to pop up or have training camps around.

It's always hard for me to get into a TEW game knowing that the next version is around the corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donners Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Ooh, I like promotion momentum. I've always felt that there wasn't enough impact from signing a star wrestler, and this sounds like it could rectify that concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 #20: Promotion Momentum Nice! Already like it very much as I'm going to presume that my promotion will be having high momentum.. Until a failed heel turn and gimmick change There's the first twenty additions as four weeks have now passed and we have already have had really big changes in the game, especially in the mod making. I'm just as anxious to see the next twenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Promotion Momentum. Believe it or not, I don't think I've even thought about this one before, (maybe I have, but it's been a long and eventful Thanksgiving, I can't recall it right now), but it just seems like such a natural idea. TEW2010, to me, is really shaping up too be an awesome experience. This is a really cool feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeemuFoundation Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 OK, now this is seriously really good. I always fealt that having just "popularity" wasn't enough for promotions and this is exactly what I feel will fix it. Take the WWF in 1994. It was popular, it had name value, when people thought of wrestling they thought "WWF, you know the thing Hulk Hogan does!" but as far as momentum goes, the WWF was going nowhere. And signing Hogan really put WCW on the map in the summer of 1994, as well as Nash and Hall in 1996. My one question is that does whoever you have as Champion affect promotion momentum? Absolutely one of my favourite features so far, I must say. Good one, Adam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINisher Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 I'm assuming that if you buy out a rival promotion your momentum will also increase, just like what happens with Prestige.. Or possibly if you steal a worker from a promotion that you are in war with, the momentum would rise some extra because of the War pact?

If it's a big name, we already know it increases momentum, but if it's Alex Wright, I don't see any reason why it should increase your momentum? Just my thoughts.

SWF Fan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I do like this new feature, it does seem quite good and will enhance the game for me for sure Loving the build up to 2010 atm, most likely will have this game as part of my birthday presents and just cheers to Adam and the other devolopers for making this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UkWrestleFan Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Wonder if the 'Promotion Momentum' will impact the ability for smaller promotions to be able to sign better workers? If you're a smaller promotion putting on really strong shows, will it make workers who wouldn't normally be interested in you consider an offer? Either way, great feature.

Sammartino Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I really love all this new features/updates expecially Momentum and dirty Sheet. I think it will means the game will be more based on concourrency and war between Promotions. I think (and I hope) will be more difficult to rise from local fed to National/global. It will be really useful for Real Mods. PS None of you will like to see some changing in Financial? It seems to me that Feds earns too much money. In the same time, they don't use this to grow or have more famous workers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changes to finances have been suggested there on a few occasions and Adam reads everything that is posted there. We'll just have to wait and keep reading the journal.

In the same time, they don't use this to grow or have more famous workers. I'd certainly like to see it made easier to make money at Cult... But I digress. I really like this feature. The way I play, with an effectively non-televised B-show, would probably cost me momentum as I'm running a strong (C+/B-) and a weak (D/D+) show each week, but playing the game 'properly' should see momentum really effect how companies interact. I'm also curious if a hot smaller fed might get an advantage moving into new territories - mid 90s ECW playing to crowds outside of Philly springs to mind, but also WWF in the early/mid 80s where they hired all the best wrestlers and mounted an agressive expansion that had them white hot by the time Wrestlemania rolled around...

praguepride Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Awesome, especially if it has a dramatic impact on contract negotiations. It'd be neat if you can cut better deals with workers because you're the hot promotion to work for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoganRodzen Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I like it... but it isn't it similar to how 'Prestige' was used in TEW08? One example: If a worker fails a test and you don't do anything about it, the "outside world" could find out and your prestige would take a hit. Obviously, momentum will probably change a lot of over time and prestige stays the same for a long period of time. From the Dev Journal update, it seems like it's taking some of the functionality away from the prestige grade. Just curious what the differences between the two are?

From the Dev Journal update, it seems like it's taking some of the functionality away from the prestige grade. Just curious what the differences between the two are? You know how many of the criticisms of mid-to-late WCW contain phrases like "the product was already starting to be weaker, but the sheer momentum of success meant that no one realized"? Promotion momentum, I'd guess, will be like that. Prestige governs which of two promotions a worker would rather work for. (I'm aware of no other effect.) A hot promotion's events will quite possibly appear better than they would be with less momentum because the fans want to be at your SWF event as well as wanting to see Steve Frehley. Of course, this is conjecture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamelessposer Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Of course, this is conjecture. And since we're already doing that, I'm kind of thinking/hoping that momentum is tied into the popularity of certain styles of wrestling and their commercial viability at that time. It would add to the sense that it's harder to gain traction as an American lucha libre company than a Mexican one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Kane Posted November 28, 2009 Share Posted November 28, 2009 I would argue that WWE suffers from the above statement, Prestige is basicaly A but momentum is C- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
