I am new here. I only discovered TEW a few weeks ago. Been losing a lot of sleep playing it. <p> </p><p> I play the 1987 mod since I love pro wrestling from Mania 1 to about the early 2000's. My main goal is to learn it back to front and teach it too my 11 year old autistic son. He is obsessed with pro wrestling and I think this is a great game for him to hyper-focus on that may have more positive benefits than WWE2k (add year). </p><p> </p><p> One request (not sure if its doable) is for merchandise. I'd love to have units involved in the custom section. For example "Units sold per month" "Units produced a month". As the units sold vary you can change production. As sales slow for a worker maybe click a sale option. If sales dry up have a donate to charity button, you take a hit but might increase popularity in the process. </p><p> </p><p> I know its far away from the core of the game, but like I said I'm only just learning.</p><p> </p><p> Cheers</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I've always wanted to see the financial system in TEW get a MAJOR overhaul. I'm truly hoping this is one of the big changes Adam talks about when he says he re-wrote the code to be able to add more features.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCGreyghost Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 <p>Great news! My wish list includes :</p><p> </p><p> 1) Full screen mode</p><p> 2) Tournaments--round robin "G1" style, as well as regular bracket style for singles, tags, and trios.</p><p> 3) STEAM availability. </p><p> 4) A built in DOTT or similar real world 80s-ish mod</p><p> 5) a blood option--specify who bleeds, to what degree, or ban blood entirely.</p><p> </p><p> I'll be buying this as soon as it's released. I've played every version of TEW and it just keeps getting better.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Bombadil Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 See I'm the opposite- anything outside of booking and looking at the game world (such as finances, TV deals, and sometimes even contract negotiations) kinda annoys me and I'd honestly like less of it.

Cold Cobra Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 I've been following since EWR, and will gladly continue to buy any new Promotion sim Mr. Ryland releases. Really excited to hear this will be a true, new sequel rather than an (admittedly normally significant) add-on though. It'll be fun reading the blog over the coming year, though!

noknuckles Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 <p>Looking forward to seeing changes in the popularity mechanics. In 2016, it was too much of a "sure thing." I can book a certain way and guarantee that over time, that worker will hit their cap. Same with growing the company. Growth is pretty much consistent with very few things that will affect it.</p><p> </p><p> I'm playing a 2005 game and realized there's really no mechanic that can really replicate USPW's rise, and having slow-build be the only way to build up popularity causes a lot of stagnation (tons of companies end up at Regional and stay there forever)</p><p> </p><p> I also have my national battles mapped out 3 years before I even hit National. I mean, realistically, if you're a medium sized company taking on the giant monopoly, you'd need to plan out that far ahead of time for a strategy to take your competition down, but it's too much of a sure thing. I know how high my top talent's popularity is. They have high pop in one region so I know where their cap is, I just need to take the next 3 years to build their popularity across the nation and it's pretty much guaranteed I'll be able to do it short of a career ending injury</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMike Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Not only do I love that there's a new TEW but I also love that it's not coming out for another year so I can keep playing my saves.

fusionfreak Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 <p>Awesome news. Normally I'd say, "I can't wait" only that I can wait because of all the work being put into TEW 2020. It sounds amazing already. Also, I'm still enjoying playing TEW 16 and that will keep me very happy until then. I'm still a very happy customer with TEW 16.</p><p> </p><p> On another note, lets clone Adam so he and his clone can make more games for us <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />.</p><p> </p><p> Seriously though, awesome news and thank you Adam.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Powerful_Fox Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 <p>I have been thinking a lot recently about how respect could be a more important factor with regards to gameworld interaction. It could even be a big driving force. </p><p> </p><p> One thing for the Child companies new feature (which is bloody amazing!) would be along the lines of the parent promotion giving more time informing when a worker is getting sent down/called up when possible depending on how high the user characters respect stat is. </p><p> </p><p> I think Respect has the potential to be a brilliant game-changing stat.</p> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyLogic Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I didn't read the whole thread yet so I don't know if it's been posted but I'd love it if when I was looking at my show history, I could click on an angle or match and see the details that I entered when setting up the angle or match via the booking screen.

Historian Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I'm beyond ecstatic that I can play as a developmental company. I've always thought RIPW as a developmental would make for a fantastic playthrough (and diary). Now that I'll be able to do that just makes me excited. I think that's a great lead off announcement for TEW2020 -- and a great feature to have added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
