Will the number of Worker Pics used be upped from 32,000? I think it can be quite limiting when you want to have a long game with a large amount of workers. Thanks in advance.

[Adam Ryland]

No. That is a Microsoft limit, it's not something I have control over.

I'm not sure if this has been brought up yet, but do we get to control whether the AI does block tapings? For example, as WWE, can we tell NXT to hold a monthly TV taping? Will the AI stick to it?

[Eisen-verse]

I’ve never transferred a game from a previous generation of the game to a new one (ie TEW 16 to 20). Are there any kinks that come up or does it transfer well in previous versions?

[Donners]

I tried being clever and converting a save game to a database, and then converting that database into a new game, but I just wound up with a stack of error messages.

[SirMichaelJordan]

Good to see styles updated. Was going to suggest a tag team tag but after reading the entry, it might be better if “tag team specialist” was added as an attribute instead.

[esteel20]

Love the expanded styles. This is a super tiny nitpick, but why not "Strong Style" instead of "Impactful"?

[EricSpade]

<p>Can a company have more than one "spiritual" home arenas? And can more than one company have the same home arena?</p><p> </p><p>

Can you have a mix of both venues and locations in a single region? And if so, will the AI prioritize using venues over locations? or vice versa? or how does that work?</p>

[ThriceP86]

<p>I'm just brushing up on all of the developer journal entries and man, this game looks so damn good already!</p><p> </p><p>

I particularly like on-the-fly booking, new company sizes, dojo revamp, talk to worker and especially this new entry for expanded styles.</p><p> </p><p>

Great stuff so far, Adam!</p>

[Donners]

The product update will be interesting. I’m really hoping that company products will evolve based on the matches and wrestlers you book, rather than being preset.

[Rone Rivendale]

Daniel Bryan is the best example I can think of for Technical Striker.

[D16NJD16]

Wait a second, styles dont effect in ring work? Since when? I thought it was beneficial to match brawlers against one another, or that matching Psychopath against a Luchadore would be a detriment? Styles have never meant anything in terms of match ratings and are puresly cosmetic tags? Hope Im misunderstanding Adam Ryland here.

[Kingster]

Interesting if true, id love to know for sure.

 

The in-game "handbook" clearly states that styles have no effect on match ratings. It's under workers --> styles.

[Matt_Black]

Directly? Yes, that's correct. But a product that makes the High Flying skill less effective, for instance, is more likely going to affect a High Flier or a Cruiserweight than a Brawler or Entertainer.

[Historian]

<p>With the new update mentioning 2/3 falls now allowing time limit draws, will we also be able to set the fall order?</p><p>

Also, is there going to be a limit on how many people can appear at ringside?</p>
