K-Nection Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 You are correct you don't need announcers until you are on tv....I wouldn't even entertain the thought of announcers until you are about 6 months away from getting a tv deal. They can still gain experience as a team announcing for matches even though you are not on TV and that is when you should look into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenCycle Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 <p>This is actually a weird loophole that hopefully gets fixed in TEW 2016... not TEW 2019. </p><p> </p><p> If you're a wrestling company selling a home video product or putting shows online, you've just gotta have announcers. It's just unheard of not to.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cappyboy Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 <p>I know my play style is hardly that of the average bear. But I do start quite a few games at the Local level and I wouldn't dream of not having announcers. Of course my purpose is to train talent up and make them useful where they weren't before. But my assumption is that my promotion's shows are going out over the Internet for the folks who wish to look in. So it essentially boils down to what BrokenCycle said.</p><p> </p><p> Honestly if you're looking to short cut on payroll, I'd skimp on the road agent. Just either have your veterans do that or choose a user character that's capable of it</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Self Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 <p>I love the idea of not having announcers at lower levels, but then I don't imagine my promotions as DVD properties. They are small local shows in tiny venues, and if I was running one in real life I wouldn't pay two guys to sit in the corner and do an impression of commentary.</p><p> </p><p> I've watched some shows on DVD without commentary, but I couldn't tell you what promotions. Lower end stuff. I like to hear the crowd.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defmall Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 <p>Don't you need at least 1 announcer for things like "interviews"?</p><p> Otherwise, if you leaned on "promos" only and your workers have low Mic/Charisma scores they are going to die an ugly death, no?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always have one announcer and one color personm even at local. I find that the experience builds quickly and helps with bonuses, which local/small companies can always use.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
