Condensed Features List 2.0

[tommytomlin]

Panix04 had a handy thread that died just before September, featuring all the features in the Developer's Journal condensed into one list. I thought it was pretty handy, so I took his list and updated it. • Future Workers – The ability to set workers to debut at a point after the game begins • Revised contract system with 4 brand new contract types including: Short term, development, Touring and loan • Title lineage. Keep track of belt historys • Game world balancer – a system to make sure the game world always has new staff within it. • Extended advanced booking options – wanna book a 4 Vs 4 match? Now you can! • Product – replaces promotion style, tailor you fed to suit your own booking style and accurately portray real life feds with cool new settings, including being able to edit the recommended match length and the angles/matches ratio • End of week super save – an auto save to help protect your save game from crashes. • Toggled area usage – fed up with game world restrictions? You can now just tuen ‘em off – or not! Its your call! • Delete angles/storys in-game • User Characters – want to be in the game, well this feature is back by popular demand! • Belt prestige – this feature returns with some much needed tweaks, use your titles wisely people! • Brand new owner/ booker stats affect the way certain people run feds. This will add great depth to the game as different feds will act very differently! • In-depth merchandise settings – choose what superstars have what merchandise – yep its time to pull the foam finger out of your nose and start managing your finances (or let the ai do it for ya!) • Restrictions on starting your own fed lowered, you no longer need the top booker award. • Master slide bar added to the editor – this should put a smile on the face of mod-makers! • New statistic – announcing • All new 3rd brand option – one of the most requested features on the boards makes its TEW debut! • all new loyalty stat - workers can be set to be loyal to a specific company or made to be free-lancers. • New House show system - check for chemistry during house shows • re-worked touring system - to better replicate the touring feds of Japan • Un-chained storylines now have a history • Modify/delete advanced booked matches. • Japanese specific young lion statistic. • Much requested return of the internet! And the new ones... [LIST] [*]Vocal Fan Bases - Promotions with high levels of certain groups of fans attract rowdy, opinionated crowds, who chant, sing and are merciless to certain workers.

Thanks for this :D can i copy to a spanish foruum of wrestling?

[bjo313]

man.. i never realized just how much he's added/changed 'til i saw it all in list form. i cannot wait for this game!

[djthefunkchris]

When you break it down like that, it really seems like alot more then when just reading the journals on a daily basis. I counted 66 different actions for the upcoming new game. Some are completely new features, other's are feature's that were in older games, back by popular demand (and I believe updated). Some are just fun little additions, while other's are game breaking strategies. While I know we are all wanting this game right "NOW"!! I know this list makes you think, the longer you wait, the better it will be... Not that I want it to take another year or anything, just makes the wait worth it more. Thanks for this updated list, Tommy, and thanks to Panix for the first half:-)

Great post mate

[tommytomlin]

[QUOTE=javier_83;161642]Thanks for this :D can i copy to a spanish foruum of wrestling?[/QUOTE] Yeah go for it

[panix04]

ahh Tommy, great work - i lost the will to do this, im really glad you have added to it! Top man!

[FINisher]

Wow, nice job. I wondered where the panix's topic went, but good thing you did this. If you hadn't, I'd done it myself :P Great job, keep updating :)

[Capelli King]

After seeing the new features again, you really get the feeling the new game has a more "alive" feeling to it, which is really cool

[QUOTE]Removal of 'Staff' Road Agents[/QUOTE] Huh? :confused:

[Remianen]

[QUOTE=Thriller;161682]Huh? :confused:[/QUOTE] You know when you look in the Staff section of 'Your Promotion' and there's one spot for 5 people on your booking team and one spot for 5 people on your road agent team? The road agent part's been removed. It's redundant since you'd already have road agents assigned (as a push).

[djthefunkchris]

You can still talk to the Road Agents, you just don't have to assign them, well, twice so to speak. Like Remianan pointed out, you already assign them through the Push, so they will automatically (after push assigned) be assigned as your staff part as well.

[Thriller]

Oh, ok. Cool. Is it still limited to five?

[DocStevens]

Great new features! TEW 2007 appears to be taking things to the next level.

[D-Lyrium]

[QUOTE=Thriller;161715]Oh, ok. Cool. Is it still limited to five?[/QUOTE] No, you can (presumably) push as many people as road agents as you want. The Ideal Roster tool will probably moan if you have a stupid amount of them though :p One road agent per wrestler, anyone? ¬_¬

[BigBadBillDemott]

Thanks for this.

[thug saint oga]

well done on the post. i was wondering about all of the additions, but i was a little too lazy to go through all of the developer notes. thanks for the abbreviated outline....

[QUOTE=tommytomlin;161627] [LIST] [*]AI Promotions look for 'Ace'/Figurehead wrestlers, default graphics now database specific, wrestlers can come out of hiatus with a good offer, [*]Wrestlers over a certain amount of overness can decide to work in additional game areas. [/LIST] [/QUOTE] These are two features I missed while the journal was being updated. I'm really excited about works becoming able to work other areas, since that means a really over European wrestler might decide to go to America to look for some work. Excellent. I like the Ace thing too

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Seeing this all in one place has made me very happy. Even though it's 9 AM in Ohio, I am about to bong a beer in the name of Adam Ryland.

[FINisher]

I just read the whole thing.. man it's so amazing list of features. I'll "bong a beer" for Ryland too :D Can't wait to get my hands on the game.. The waiting is endless. Or atleast it feels like it'll never end.

[Thriller]

I'll bong this sandwich I'm eating, if thats possible.

[dvdWarrior]

I really like the new Product feature as well as the new Title Lineage feature, and I'm looking forward to seeing just who the Ace of my promotion is going to be. So many great new features coming though... :)

[Sartagis]

oops wrong thread.

[D16NJD16]

Is this supposed to make the wait any faster? It doesn't. :(

[TCP1]

Can someone remind me how many digits can now be written in the worker bios? Thanks
