<p>I don't think they are entirely suggestions but more or less ideas we've all had that we're bouncing off one another. Expectations, desires, hopes, things like that.</p><p> </p><p>

We're not "suggesting" it more so "discussing" what would be cool. Otherwise what else can we really talk about? We've only had two reveals so far, and the dev company is a super awesome addition, and the QoL changes are dope. Yet we can't just continue to echo the thoughts and sentiments that we've already shared.</p>

I think you're getting the wrong end of the stick - what I'm saying is that if people post their suggestions in this thread and don't bother with the suggestions forum then they're running the risk of their idea not being considered. That's why the journal post specifically asks people to post there, because I'll catch their post during one of my regular sweeps. If it's hidden away in this thread, chances are it's going to get lost amongst the chaos. I've edited my post to try and make that crystal clear.

Huge and surprising update today. I wasn't expecting a journal entry on a Saturday. On the Fly booking is a serious departure from how the game has handled running shows up to this point, and I'm stoked to see such a shakeup to the tried and true formula. Like the entry says, this should make it feel much more like we're actually running a live show in a live environment. And I take it we can now have Mick Foley wrestle three times in one night, as Mankind, Dude Love, and Cactus Jack?

 

Great one! Excited.

I thought one of the bigger upgrades that could be made was playing as a child company. On The Fly Booking has me more excited than that. I love this entry.

[soxfan93]

<p>My jaw legitimately dropped when I read the part about switching alter egos. Very excited by this. The idea of running a split personality character when a tag team splits up because the partner is also a masked wrestler who keeps attacking him when he loses simply makes me giddy.</p><p> </p><p>

Edit: Also just realized that this is a great way for small companies to save money. Brilliant work, Adam!</p>

[Big Roguey]

Finally, my dream of an all Conquistadors card will be achieved.

<p>This is gonna be very useful for people like me who don’t mind hiring drug addicts and backstage cancers haha.</p><p> </p><p>

If he’s too screwed up at least I can manage it now.</p>

[Tom Bombadil]

I never knew I needed this feature!

[franticloser]

Awesome update this time, this is going to make booking feel more organic and give us some more control n the show.

[BrokenCycle]

How do I get cryogenically frozen for a year?

[TheGhost]

<p>Fantastic news! On the fly booking is needed.</p><p> </p><p>

So far all the updates are great, now lets just cross our fingers and hope that we can actually search guys by Tag Teams in the new game instead of looking at everyone's profile!</p>

[James Casey]

i really like this idea. Being able to adjust the later stages of the card to adapt to earlier happenings... Sounds good. I wonder if you're restricted by the posted show/segment length, or if you can adjust to suit?

[TeemuFoundation]

This still doesn't allow for having Foley enter the Rumble three times as three different characters, but it's a start, hah. And who knows. Maybe elimination/battle royal style matches will see an improvement, as well.

[K-Nection]

<p>I don't know how but I missed this announcement somehow????</p><p> </p><p>

Now that I'm over my confusion I'm super excited for a new TEW! I'm going to get so much life out of just running child companies lol. The on the fly booking has me hyped as well.</p>

[Gabriel]

<p>On the fly booking is going to be so great. Being able to adjust for injuries, or poor performances in one night tournaments, is going to be awesome. I can't count how many times I've had a challenger get injured with a looming program with the champion on the horizon, and then had to scramble after the show to figure out where to go from there. Now I can see the injury and then make any adjustments, including a potential title change, to ease into a different championship program if necessary.</p><p> </p><p>

Adam is killing it with these announcements so far. Child Companies, brand new UI and now On the Fly Booking? It's not like I wouldn't have picked the game up right away anyways, but this is just selling me on the idea that I will have to wrap up my game in 16 before 2020 comes out so that I can move right into the new game.</p>

What if you wanted to reuse a guy who was in the opener but he already left for the night and cant be found because he's not required to stay. Could make those more meaningful.</p>

[Gabriel]

It would be pretty cool if you don't use that backstage rule, if specific guys would leave early or stay for the whole thing anyways... then you can still make adjustments, but maybe someone out of the box gets a bigger opportunity than usual because the wrestler you wanted to use in that spot wound up leaving before the end of the show.

[Peria]

<p>So on the fly booking allows us to essentially make a change mid-show to our booking. </p><p> </p><p>

That is huge. Very huge. Makes it pretty realistic too.</p>
