[littledjay]

Game is Sweet! Adam and co well done,you've really excelled in the 2020 edition of the game. Cannot wait for full release.

The office screen is a HUGEEEEEE improvement. Really pleased with how everything looks in those screenshots. Huge kudos to Adam and Josh.

[franticloser]

The screen shots of the new office made me really excited, I had gotten used to the new layout and figured out the order the buttons where in. But this is perfect to have everything in categories like that makes it so much easier, thank you Adam and your graphics team!

You can play three months. January to March. Any year.

How do you guys feel about the PPV buys??

 

TCW is at size 72 across the US and sells 1.4 million PPVs.

Making 5-6 million in PPV revenue.

 

Seems way to high for me. I feel like 2016 was much closer to reality.

 

I´m thinking about making a suggestion to reduce the numbers.

[FINisher]

IPW can make millions in the first month by buying their own PPV provider. It's completely broken.

Ok, just making sure as I'm sure Adam isn't seeing much outside of the tech support forum.

Maybe he's still working on fixing it?

 

I'm happy to see anyone mentioning issues.

I still say he needs to keep working on the Angle booking screen. Updated but no "view" button to look at the selected person? I still need to go to the "view roster" button to look at the persons stats?

 

Let's not do a half baked job here people!

 

Hope they fix your issue as well. I haven't even gotten far enough to start looking at finances.

He seems to be at the very least peeking at the suggestion forums based on some of the newly added and adjust stuff. Still holding out hope he can add back the important email reminder pop up.

Aren’t the email pop up reminders now in their own settings where you get to set what you feel is important?

[franticloser]

I tried that by setting them as important but still no pop ups they just are red if I open the email menu. Maybe I just missed something? Anyone want to help me out?

Getting the weird ref and road agent not assigning thing thats been reported. Pretty fun tho with the new fixes and the extra month. Love the new screenshots. Fingers crossed for an earlier release.

<p>Love the new skin and layout of the UI, as many have said. It looks like TEW again, with a modern take. </p><p> </p><p>

7 days to improve on finances, scrolling, less clicks, and more products. </p><p> </p><p>

For me its still a no go until things improve. But I see that Adam and company are working their butts off and appreciate that. Hopefully the mechanics of the game are getting tweaked these next 7 days. If the issues that have been talked about the most in this forum get fixed, we could have an excellent game that is miles ahead of '16.</p>

Also getting that ref/road agent issue.

 

Just started an SWF save. Planned to use Ana Garcia as an interviewer rather than a commentator so I assigned her as an on-air personality, changed her gimmick to a 'realistic' one simply called Interviewer. On her first segment I am informed her new gimmick is rated Very Good - then I look at the bonus/penalty section for her new gimmick: Gives A Large Penalty To Microphone Skills During Angles.

 

FML.

 

What's the plan now

[ksdixon]

QUESTION: Will customisable products be added to the game?

 

ANSWER: No, there is no scope for that to happen. The product system is built into the fabric of the game, adding customisable products would require taking the game to pieces and rebuilding it from the ground up - even if I wanted to do that, that would mean pushing the game's release into 2021 to accommodate that amount of work. As outlined during the developer's journal, individual new products will be added as the game goes along, and these will be based upon suggestions from the customer base.

 

how bad is this news in terms of real-world mods/historical data?
