I can't recall if he's mentioned this but I hope in 2020 you have the option of moving a title from your main company, down to the dev company. I just bought the NWA World & tag titles & wanted to send the titles to developmental. I don't want to send them for a one off or anything, I just wanted the titles to be defended down there without needing to make fake titles with none of the linage.

Has Adam said whether there will be body portrait worker pictures? I know the game is changing its look and its been said it'll be similar to WMMA5, so just wondering if it'll include cool full body portraits as well as floating heads.

Were there any good features anyone suggested that didn't make the cut? Blading would have been a cool feature. I would have seen that like the "sick bump" with maybe a less chance of injury.

Which is a shame as that would have been an insta-buy for me. Looks like this may be another game in the series that's tricky to play because story structure has to be tracked via third party program or not at all.</p>

What is our current timeline?

 

Reading the last development journal, what is the current speculated release date of TEW 2020? Is it good that they are polishing up features or are we still a long way from release? Thanks.

See entry #1 from the 19th July, there's a whole post on the subject.

[BrokenCycle]

I agree with you. To me, face & heel aren't just mannerisms and personality. The entire mechanisms of how you perform and function in a match are different. what to do. How to do it.

 

That's a good point. I know this shouldn't be a place for suggestions, but I've always felt that TEW not including some sort of mechanism that takes face and heel performance into account is missing out on some strategy and nuance for the game. There's some wrestlers that clearly perform worse when they have to work a "Heel beats up good guy" style.

[BuddyGarner]

I didn't even notice about the skill change drip feed until now. Maybe with the changes to that and popularity it won't be so easy to get everyone to 100 pop and 100 of many skill levels(entertainment skills are easier).

 

I'll probably try the same tactics and if those don't work. I'll rely on good ol' dominate.

[Peria]

I know it was mentioned, I think, earlier on. But I am really excited for the popularity changes. The AI hardly ever created new stars. WWE signed AJ Styles and he was a midcarder for legitimately 5 years. 0 titles won. AI had 45+ year Buff Bagwell win titles left and right, with like under 30 stamina. I get AJ Styles, instantly shoot him up to 90 popularity in a span of a few months.

[Guest Asaemon]

Since 50x50 grade images isn't being used, what picture size will be used instead?

Most people don’t do it because you get like 300 warnings about what will happen. A ton of real life penalties are things that people playing a computer simulation wouldn’t dare do because the numbers don’t make sense.</p>

[Crackdd]

Not sure if this has been discussed but are we ever going to get tweeners back or will it be straight face/heel forever?

[Guest Asaemon]

Will TEW support pictures in PNG format?

 

Or will it only support JPG and that awful GIF format?

[WCGreyghost]

Is there a post with technical requirements to play the new game? My laptop is dying a slow horrible death, and will need replacing before this game is released. Sorta thinking about a Chromebook, but only if it can run this game....
