Cold Cobra Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Love today's entry, the AI managers and visible AI pushes are yet more things to make the whole game feel alive, like you're actually running your promotion up against AI players rather than in something of a vacuum. Great stuff. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyzyng Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Big fan of the features announced today. Especially the AI managers change. No more taking over an AI company in the middle of a save to see that none of the managers have clients assigned to them I didn't get a chance to comment on the new products coming into the game but I'm excited for them. One thing I would like to see is companies changing products less often. Or an option to keep the product of a company static. Beta is almost here! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Almaida Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Quote This is useful for the people who enjoy getting a lot of tracking / historical data. I love all the additions for the nerds (it's me, I'm nerds 🙋♂️). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D16NJD16 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Todays entry got me thinking, is there any reason why categories like events, titles, broadcasters don't have the "set to their name.jpg" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21maxwell Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 While the initial lack of change of resolution was a big bummer to me, the influx of diary entries are giving me encouragement that we will a see very good evolving world as we play. Sounding good so far and will carry optimism into the beta period at the weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey1985 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Looking forward to this immensely. The front-end/user changes are big enough that this is an easy day one purchase. Interpreting what I can on the database changes, I’m hoping I have it right and the improvements and what not make it easier for modmakers to get the projects done quicker than in previous versions. IMO, 95% of unfinished mods are caused by the sheer scale of the task and the automation additions look like great steps to bridge that pitfall. I am curious to see how RAW, MAW, QAW, and CWW have fared as I’ve had great games on 2020 with them. Equally, if the CV77 project gets an update for this, I wonder if it’ll stunt SWF’s growth (and likewise, any mod in the 80s for wwf and 90s in wcw) with the booking teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) I think I remember reading that the AI booker skill determines who they give the pushes too. I hope to test this extensively now. Edited July 22 by Teh_Showtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teh_Showtime Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Yes that was it, but it was hard to test previously. I wasn’t finding a lot of difference between 0 and 100 skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clairo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The AI manager change is an underrated one. In my experience, most wrestlers in longer term saves tend to retire to a manager position, only to rarely see use. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which makes me wonder how the Manager of the Year award is calculated when there is no managing going on.. They usually see use in segments but aren't progressing any clients.

Astil Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Does the AI use announces/colour/refs either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amyzyng Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 2 minutes ago, Astil said: Does the AI use announces/colour/refs either? Announcers and colour I think do get used. My only real evidence for this is they always gain high amounts of pop without being involved in any on-screen angles so the only thing I can think of is that they're used in matches. Refs are definitely used because you can't run a match without them. I'm not home atm but if you click on the match details for an AI card, it will show the ref assigned to that match.

Teh_Showtime Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The AI characters also get skill gains so I assume they’re being used for sure. Even managers are used as stated previously, they just never had clients and were essentially just personalities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrindhouseArts Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 45 minutes ago, Astil said: Does the AI use announces/colour/refs either? Yes. I put announcers and color commentators in my child company and tracked their progress for a while. They improved their skills, so they must have done something.

piccamo Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 I don't know that they "must have done something" is necessarily true. There could be a formula that automatically improves stats for AI company workers. That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing as it could reduce processing time compared to "really" using them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vocalorigami Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Not sure if this has been talked about yet but will we have different city pop now instead of pop in Mid south and South east and so on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hasn’t been mentioned but that’s highly doubtful. It would require a lot of memory (I would think) to store all of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peria Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Another great addition... 5 more days lads, and we get to have a little taste of this wonderful addition it seems that has been created for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
