benjirino Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Question about angle overhaul. Given you can now have pretapes, does that mean that you can use wrestlers who are double booked assuming it's only for angles provided you use pretapes? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Collin Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 8 hours ago, Peria said: I admit, my longer saves have been with CV97 or any real world 90s mod. I know why as well, it isn't because "the canon history is gone" because I never stay on that course 1:1 anyways.

I admit I'm being half-silly but this is legitimately why I don't play modern day games. I know exactly what you mean. Wrestling leans heavily on popular culture and it feels weird to be booking in 2035 when you have no idea what is going on in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Masked Orange Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Overall really intrigued by all the announcements. The backstage stuff in particular looks like it could keep things dynamic. Thought I'd jump in this thread because I wanted to know a little bit more about the new Company Headquarters mechanic. Does 'influence' mean anything in particular, or is it a synonym for prestige? The entry for the company HoF uses the same language and I can't imagine a HoF having gameplay implications. For example, will a worker sign with me over an equivalent company because of a Company HQ? Not that I need to be told any of the nuts-and-bolts mechanics behind the scenes, I'm looking forward to discovering things on my own, just curious how much of a gameplay impact it would/could have. I'd be interested, say, if certain production levels were gated behind it. Always seemed weird to me that a company like GSW could jump to Medium and immediately flood money into 'Majestic' production (before going bankrupt a eighteen months later, typical Grimm). Or something flavourful like the extra 'professionalism' of having a headquarters making certain companies more likely to want to deal with you, but 'anti-establishment' companies wanting less to do with you. I'm just letting myself overthink because I'm getting excited 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV deals. If I were a broadcaster, I'd prefer to deal with a company that has a dedicated HQ building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almaida Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 11 hours ago, spiffyone said: A suggestion (and please note I've used the search function to check if anyone has but haven't seen a mention of this): Please add the ability to assign TV Shows to a particular venue. In TEW 2020, there was only the ability to assign an Event to a venue, but not TV Shows, which made real life mods (whether current or historical) not as accurate as they could have been - particularly if the companies were under CPU control. CWA Memphis studio wrestling would take place outside of the WMC TV studio. Crockett era 6:05 Saturday World Championship Wrestling outside of the Techwood Drive studio, and Turner-owned WCW of the '90s outside of Center Stage (WCW Saturday Night) or Disney/MGM (Bischoff era TV, pre-NWO). Made it hard to completely mimic early '80s era WWF tapings, which were held in Allentown Agricultural Hall (Championship Wrestling) and Hamburg Fieldhouse (All-Star Wrestling), or (for more recent history) NXT's TV from Full Sail or the Performance Center. Excellent suggestion, something I've been wanting to see for a while now too but I keep forgetting to mention it. It would also be hugely beneficial to CMLL in basically any era, for their weekly shows from fixed locations (Super Viernes at Arena Mexico every week, etc). Or TNA from the Impact Zone... the list goes on and on. I used to do my best to find creative workarounds for 2020 (e.g. a weekly Tour/Lesser event on the same day at the right location), but my solutions were always clunky, clogged up the schedule and wound up overworking everyone on the shows. Assigned venues for TV Shows would help so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanky316 Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Honestly, to me the whole point of the feature is ultimately for "brawl out", sure press conferences and so on have become a bigger part in (western, as far as I know the press conferences and the "legitimate" feel has been a bigger part of things in Japan longer) wrestling but if it were just a FM style "click through the same answers and everyone is happy" it'd be more pointless, the idea that after a show someone could go "off script" and make a mountain out of a molehill due to "almost getting hurt due to a botch" or something like that is something far more interesting, and a likely inspiration for why it's now part of the game. At least, that's what I'm hoping for! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinsmoker Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Brawl out didn't happen at a media scrum. It was a post-show backstage incident, which probably should be a thing "Wrestler x left early." "Wrestler y threw a aftershow party, but didn't invite the stooge." "wrestler z kicked down a window, threw a cat at a chair and was bitten by wrestler a" (legally distinct) 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astil Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 The Punk going off script bit is really just worker a did an interview where he had interesting comments about worker b event. Although it would be cool to get events that reiderate dislike/hatred more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattywood Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Seeing all of the additions for backstage flavor, I can't be the only one who wants to play a save that just goes absolutely haywire. "TEW IX: But I made Max Mini one of my enforcers!" "TEW IX: But I chose Vince Russo as a locker room leader!" "TEW IX: But I anger the entire roster with my media scrum!" 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it was a result of Punk going off in the media scrum. I guess if the media scrum is contained to the booker only it couldn't happen. if workers are also taking questions would be the only way to simulate that.

I recently picked up Mammoth's (absolutely amazing) 1970 Territory Daze mod and am creeping up on the year 2000. All of these are edge cases and the new avatar setting doesn't affect most players.

vocalorigami Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Really excited for the game. I'm hoping we see this as a new feature in a diary post soon but Adam is there a more in depth when booking shows in cities now? Where you can gain pop in cities not just mid south, north east, etc. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
