I read it as an obvious thing that wasn't big enough to warrant its own entry, but could be wrong. Since we don't know the new Attributes, my money is on a 'Ring Announcer' attribute. So someone who does both, say Larry Legend, would be play-by-play/color by role, and someone who doesn't do play-by-play would be a Personality with the 'Ring Announcer' attribute.

GrindhouseArts Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I'm super excited about Celebrities and improved AI hiring. I spent hours of my life trying to make workers/companies behave that way in my database, so these new tools will make my life a lot easier on that front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be very surprised if they have been added and he just didn't bother mentioning it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astil Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 (edited) I am not being negative on the idea just earnestly curious. What would a ring announcer role add that a personality role doesn't accomplish in game already? Edited July 26 by Astil 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would a ring announcer role add that a personality role doesn't accomplish in game already? I think the Ring Announcer role is pretty vital and impactful for small shows... and becomes a non-entity as soon as television gets involved. I've been to plenty of live events where the announcer is essentially the host, entertaining the crowd between bouts... and others where they put a trainee in his Dad's suit and crossed their fingers that he wouldn't pass out or accidentally swear in front of the kids. Jeremy Borash really improved the one TNA show I went to. You can replicate this with a personality and angles, but that's a lot of clicking. Setting up a guy as the announcer and getting one bonus/penalty to the final show rating would be sufficient for me. But not essential. It's not a hill I'd die on. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question - I know the entry says that popularity doesn't change according to how they're booked, just wondering if popularity was completely static or could change over the years as they got more/less well-known outside of wrestling?

I think at a national TV level company, ring announcers are still important but mostly for big matches/main events. You think of the likes of Howard Finkel, Michael Buffer, or Bruce when switching to the MMA world. What Samantha Irvin is doing now. Does it add much to LWO vs. The Street Profits on Raw? No, but that big PLE title main event, the introductions help set the tone and having someone great at it really helps. So I think that having ring announcers in games who if they're skilled, have a small impact on crowd heat and match ratings in major matches would be accurate 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even need them to 'do' anything to the scores. Just flavour. If your ring announcer suddenly started adding extra ooomph to a job guy's intro... would you be tempted to use them more? I would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoons Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Hey, I have a question. If the release time is a secret, why did he specify it'd be using American time instead of British time? If it's a secret it shouldn't matter what time it uses, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GDS as a company is based in the USA so any release is on American time and it's not Adam himself who hosts/releases it - this is why the distinction is made. It's expectation setting more than anything else. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know that tip, I'll give it a shot in the beta but I'm still sure the background and everything will bug me. I'll try the beta tomorrow and see how this works though.

Will it be the same with TEW IX? I Just checked our system for France (Euros). It looks like there's around 7 Euros in taxes collected. We don't control that as it is handled by FastSpring (our CC processor). We just put in the price in USD ($34.95) and they handle the rest. For a US purchase (just saw one from Massachusetts), the taxes are $2.18 for a total of $37.13. Some states don't have taxes collected (I know Nevada, South Carolina don't) and those places just pay $34.95. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's semantics but to me calling Howard Finkel, Justin Roberts or Michael Buffer "personalities" doesn't seem accurate. Also imagine you're putting on a big Wrestlemania main event and you have a horrid ring announcer who is flubbing lines? That could really hurt the presentation.
