You can add to someone the attribute of "Creative Dynamo" and "Very Creative" at the same time. I assume that's unintended.

Was 'push' removed? Can't find it at all.

 

Yes it's now perception

Yes. It was covered in the journal. Instead of pushes you have perception levels that you don't set -- they are based on a combination of a worker's popularity and how you use them.

That is correct, there is only perception levels as of right now.

Workers now have a set "Perception" that is based on their popularity. So the game automatically treats them as "Stars", "Well known", etc.

The editor is amazing. You guys hit that out of the ballpark. So thank you for that. Some parts of the UI is hard on the eyes. Specifically for me, the parts that look like a spreadsheet with all the whiteness to it. That's hard on the eyes. Hope to see it changed for release.

One thing that's annoying the hell out of me is that I can't scroll with the arrow keys anymore. Really don't like having to click on every single name

 

 

Definitely This!!

 

Other than that, absolutely love it so far!!

There's a good explanation of how the perception is worked out in the handbook too (under Running Your Company).

If this isn't small to you you might have super vision.

yeah, i'm completely fine?

Click on their name on the roster (it should be highlighted in yellow, it's at the top). That brings up their worker page. The roles will be there for you to click on and off, but Packer doesn't have a role by design, he's supposed to be a hands-off owner that lets the Booker run things their way.

 

Is there still the option for "Suggested Role"? Thanks for your reply.

[ihatesmoothies]

<p>Yeah, I have to agree with the complaints regarding the UI, however, I don't think that's something that can be changed quickly. Let's hope there will be some good skins out relatively soon.</p><p> </p><p>

The other thing that's quite unfortunate is being unable to choose a fitting resolution, but that one could be chalked up to the UI again.</p>

[Martel123]

There's 125 people viewing this thread holy cow.

I just noticed even if you disable the "new-style colored lists" and then go to make a new game, when you select your user character you are still forced to use the new style list scrolling even if "new-style colored list" is disabled as the new default.

[The Cloptologist]

<p>The UI in it's current state in a deal-breaker for me. After playing the beta for only ten minutes I'm finding myself getting a headache. </p><p> </p><p>

Hopefully this issue can be addressed before release.</p>

[NoHopeForSome]

I know I am in the minority but I like the new UI. I hated having to dive about for all the information I needed so having it all to hand is a big time saver for me!

[CashBowels]

So is there a place where people can share their converted saves in mod format because I can't play this until the people are real.

I love the new UI. It took me a little bit to get used to, but once I did, the game became far easier to navigate and has a look that I really prefer.

even the real wrestlers are fake lol

The UI honestly seem really outdated, particularly for the price point we're going to be paying. It's not that I was expecting game changing design, but this was kinda at a basic level. I believe a lot will be adjusted through cosmetic skins, but at the stage it is in, it is hard on the eyes while I'm trying to get use to where everything is.

 

I think white space is used poorly throughout the UI. There are sections like the office screen where white space could be utilized to make the screen very aesthetic and user friendly. How a user's eyes move is vital. The boxes on the right are just dropped in, and the text in each box looks different. It gives an impression of "I'll put these here, and organize them later." My eyes look at them and immediately want to look away.

 

Then there are sections like the booking screen where the is so much white space that it feels like things are missing, and my eyes just don't know where to go. The card looks like one giant spreadsheet, and considering the overall new size of the game, it's overwhelming to see at first. Condensing that back down to a tight box would help eye flow on this screen.

 

Clean and crisp use of white space, boxes and borders. The company screen is a great example of a great page. I really like that page.

 

also, for the lover of Pete, give me my scrolling back in all the boxes.

[Kimberly]

I turned the game off and came back an hour later. My eyes are starting to adjust a bit and some of the editor screens (like the promotion editor) I REALLY like.

[FINisher]

*deep sigh*

 

I can't fathom how the decisions about the UI came to fruitition and how the beta testers didn't push the graphic design to a higher standard. I've said it year after year that the game looks horrid and most of the time it's been left to the community to fix things. It's an eyesore and for people with migraine like myself, at the state the game is in right now, it's unplayable.

 

It would be okay if the game would be easily modified but no: take a look at this:

 

 

It's a zoomed in image of the background. It's full of odd blurs, pixel bleeding and weird graphic design decisions. It's horrendous and hard to mod even for people with moderate editing software experience.
