Booking is awful and needs to be fixed immediately.

TEW always seems to be broken when released. I've bought TEW'20, but I really don't intend to play it until the start of next year, when a bucket-load of patches has been released. There is just so much wrong with it atm sadly, with this booking thing being one of the biggest, along with match lengths.

Guys, check out my comments in THIS thread:

From my tests this morning, the Auto Booker is well advanced in the latest version, I can actually use it to book a show now!

 

Yeah, it does seem to be improved.

 

More variety in the segments and more workers in angles. it is still trending a little long in angle length (~8 mins), but that's readily fixed.

Yeah exactly. It will still take me about 5 to 10 minutes to "polish up" those cards, but at least they're perfectly useable starting points.

 

The cards churned out pre-1.08 with 15 to 20 minute angles and three matches per card were just utter rubbish that took me forever to have to fix.

It could still use some filters - eg don't book title matches, don't book pre-show segments - but it's certainly a lot more useful than it was.

 

Now if only the AI booking could be fixed. They're still filling cards with single-worker angles and spamming the same tag matches and results over and over.

I don't recall previous versions having so many fundamental issues. I'm just pretending it's an early access release, and fiddling around until they are patched up. There's been a lot of progress made, to be fair - it's just a shame so much got through testing.

The following is a list of the additions and modifications that are intended for patches that are upcoming in the near future. It's not in any sort of order of priority. It will be updated as I go along. An idea not appearing here does not mean it isn't being considered, only that it isn't planned for a patch in the near future.

 

There is no exact timeframe on any of these as error fixes take priority and so it will depend how time consuming tech support is over the coming days and weeks.

 

Scheduled upcoming additions / changes

 

- Changes to the booking screen to make it faster to move segments around

- Addition of some user-suggested products

 

- Addition of some user-suggested attributes

 

- Allowing workers to better build their entertainment skills outside of angles and storylines so that AI workers won't get stuck at low levels so often

 

- A boost to skill gains for developmental workers so that it is less tied to how many matches they are working

Great that he put that out there so people know it's coming.

 

If the autobooked is working properly and if the booker is less tedious, the game should be in a good place. For now I'm still fearful of booking a big org (for the first time ever in TEW :p) because I had to quit in previous iterations as it was just too tedious. When you have a big TEW session and only advance 2 weeks in-game... If you're booking storylines it has to progress or the fun and immersion is gone, at least in my case.

 

Having fun with CWW and CZCW so far, but I'd just want an E-org for once. :p

I've gotten used to it over time, but one thing that still annoys me is how when you're booking the Protect and Keep Strong notes it cycles back to the first worker everytime you click instead of staying on the worker you just picked. It would be much more intuitive if the selector would just stay on the worker you were just on so you could just arrow down the list. It's especially cumbersome when booking a Puroresu promotion that uses lots of multiman bouts for example.

The change to moving angles about has helped a lot, but not having the option to tell the autobooker not to book title matches is still a pain. If that's not possible, it'd be nice if there was some quick visual clue that a match was for a title, have it coloured gold or something similar
