Cannot hire foreign workers to written contracts

[BiffJordan]

I think this would be a great hiring rule to add to the game.

 

"Cannot hire foreign workers to written contracts"

 

I think this would make a lot of real world games more realistic.

<p>I agree. I would like to see something to set "rough percentage" of foreign workers the company will try to maintain.</p><p> </p><p>

It would be better if you could set a slider for each Game Area.</p>

<p>It's very rare and I cannot name an instance of a non Japanese wrestler ever signing a contract that prohibited them from working in the United States and assorted international promotions. This should also apply to Mexico. I think the realism of Adam just adding this to company notes is possibly. </p><p> </p><p>

This is a note that I want for AI companies specifically.</p>

Touring deals used to work just fine but without them now the AI will either never be able to hire foreign wrestlers (unrealistic) or sign big name stars to permanent deals (which can be game breaking if NJPW is signing up Hogan in 1984 to a full time gig). Not game breaking in terms of glitches, but it can easily ruin mods.

An even better idea would be national exclusivity for contracts but I know that's never gonna happen so this would be a good compromise.

I suggested an attribute that would stop workers from signing exclusive deals overseas (could have one option for each country so you don't block Canadians/Mexicans from the US). Hoped this would be easier to implement than readding touring contracts.

Without this problem solved, TEW2020 won't be able to represent wrestling world of 70s or 80s properly.

This kind of contract was a huge part of the business back then.

Everybody wants the same thing we just have to articulate it in a way that is a simple for Adam to program and without having to reprogram else as an affect from the change at all. The idea of simply adding a note to the company hiring rules in the editor that the company cannot offer written contracts to international workers as an option, just like you can select a company to only hire heavyweights, is probably the easiest and most likely way to get Adam to add this element which would mean so much to our real world mods.

Or just bring back touring deals and the associated rules

I would assume that would take a lot of re-programming and not likely to happen.
