Kingster Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 What if the game tied in to the calendar on the PC it's run on? Is that possible? That's precisely how it works in EWR if I remember correctly, so yeah that might work. No idea how viable it is in TEW though, as the game is way more complex and I'm sure some things have changed in the last 16-17 years as far as programming. Nope, we're just supposed to love everything 100% or hate everything 100%. Exactly. After all, we're on the internet. Regarding today's entry: As others have already mentioned, tournament tracking is a great addition and to me it is "major" enough that it would have deserved a spot in the earlier part of the journal. One question I have is whether tournament matches will be recognizable in match histories. So, will it say "Wrestler X beat Wrestler Y in XYZ tournament match"?

TeemuFoundation Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 One question I have is whether tournament matches will be recognizable in match histories. So, will it say "Wrestler X beat Wrestler Y in XYZ tournament match"? The way I did this in TEW 2016 was, I had numerous copies of Singles matches (just copy/paste in the database editor) and ticked the box "Has Name Value" and just created a bunch of matches like "King of the Ring Opening Round", "King of the Ring Semi-Final", etc. etc. As well as just generic "Tournament Opening Round", etc. and "#1 Contender's Tournament" matches and whatever, whatever. So, in the match history, it will say "Shawn Michaeals defeated Razor Ramon in a King of the Ring Semi-Final match". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayelek Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Tournament tracker is pretty cool. It would be neat if the auto booker would make tournament matches, or take tournaments into account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be a nice "quality-of-life" improvement if the game did that automatically for you for tournaments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirMichaelJordan Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 With the new way in ring development is now working, will worker improvements be less random? For example a worker improves in aerial when the vet he’s working with isn’t highly rated in aerial. I would like to see a mega man type mechanic here where the younger guy actually learn stuff from the vet that the vet in question is good at. If I want to tailor a young guy to be more technical, I would put him in the ring with technical wrestlers. If course destiny rolls and caps should play a role of how much a certain guy can improve in the area though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn michaels Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Much love for the tournament tracker finally happening. Been waiting on this one for a long while. Aside from some big announcements I still know are bound to happen, given that the live part of the journal has to bring some things that haven't been mentioned yet, the only thing i want to know now is release date so I can buy the game. I don't even care about demo release, I want the full thing. :D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuitWilliams Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I don't post often, if I ever have. But the tournament tracker is something I've hoped the game would have for a long time. Great addition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne28 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So just to clarify, tourney's can have up to 32 participants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hive Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I like the tournament addition a lot. Sounds like playing a Japanese company instantly became 60 % more fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvdWarrior Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Really, really love the new tournament feature, as well as the new stuff with the brands. Can't wait to start playing around with all this stuff. Good times are definitely coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jalberico Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Just for clarification: Is the tournament tracker going to be word-based only, or will there be some kind of visual tracker with a bracket display that shows the advancement of winners, etc.?

Definitely doing this in the future! Thanks for the great idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've wasted a lot of time considering who to match up with who for targeted stat improvements if not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope others can chime in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCGreyghost Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Really pumped for the tournament feature. I've been wanting that for years. The Crockett Cup, various Atlanta "Cadillac tournaments", the UWF heavyweight title, all that stuff gonna be happening in my games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you wanna play those Tournaments, if nobody makes awesome and enjoyable mods for TEW2020, because a lot of the great mod makers aren’t active here and nobody knows if they even mod for the new version. The whole game stays and falls with the modding universe. The bigger amount of players play the real life mods, so the decision for me to buy TEW2020 depends on the activity of the dispossessed mod makers.

But the best mods were built from the MOD Squad and who knows if they mod again after they getting treated. No MOD Squad no reason for TEW2020 for me.

They were divas who thought they were more important than the game which they’re were not.

TEW is worthless without a lot of great real life mods and the real life mods wouldn’t even be here if there wouldn’t be such a great game like TEW. Those two things go hand in hand. And I do not think everybody realized it yet. Without the mods of the MOD squad you won’t even have 5 different time lines of mods out there. Don’t get me wrong. This is my opinion, nobody has to accept it. But without awesome mods I won’t buy the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
