Evaluating and developing Talent

[TwoCount]

I was wondering how you go about evaluating talent?

 

Ever since I played EWR 4.2 I never really got used to the multiple ratings.

 

Coming from FIFA or the EA Football Manager games one always had one "Overall Rating" that made comparison quite easy. Now with having multiple skills rating its harder for me to evaluate talent so I was wondering how you guys go about it and how you keep developing talent?

Its harder with TEW than those games as different companies place higher values on different skills. So an amazing technical wrestler with no charisma wont be as much use in WWE for example. So its worth looking at what product your company has and then focusing on the stats that mean the most to them.

If your concern is match ratings you should prioritize:

 

Basics: The bread and butter.

Psychology: though a lack hereof can be mitigated by road agents and scripting matches.

 

If your concern is angles, for WWE-type companies:

 

Charisma: this is important on many levels and arguably the most important 'tainment stat. Mic skills can be compensated with entertainment promos, but there's no substitute for charisma (except for menace I guess).

 

In soccer management games OVR is indeed important, but for PES and FIFA you can easily exploit certain specialist skills more as you know their pros and cons and are the pilot yourself. Here, in TEW, it's mixed. You have a limited grip on the matches but have a firm grip on the non-match portion of your company.

I'd personally add Selling, Safety, and Consistency to that list.

Thanks for getting the ball rolling.

 

I do miss a more simple evaluation about the workers skills I.E overall rating. In SI’s Football Manager you do also have numerous Skills which I very much enjoy but you have a 5 Star rating system that gives you a very good first impression before one can dig down deeper. Really wish we had something like that for TEW.
