WingedEagle Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Is this like TNM? Used to love that back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stiva Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Awesome! I've always meant to dig into TEW since EWR is so good but could never get around the interface issues and how long it takes to actually book 2 hour shows. I hope he streamlines everything in a way that eases that burden since everything else about 13 is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I want to love TEW because it's really an excellent booking sim, it's just soooo much work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concrete1992 Posted January 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 JVK, that will probably be out sometime soon after release hopefully. I suppose it depends on how much new STUFF is being added this year. Also, he says there will be a diary starting in February. 500+ new features.

Death From Above Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I want to love TEW because it's really an excellent booking sim, it's just soooo much work. I liked Extreme Warfare Revenge better because it was simpler, and I've probably picked it up and dropped it again every couple years since it came out. Still, I'm glad the series is still going. It's really great that it still has a fanbase supporting it after all these years. I remember playing versions as far back as the old VBasic version where you couldn't even pick match winners yourself. I remember Al Snow beat Triple H for the WWF title once. Good times.

LowBlowPodcast Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Tell me when a death of the territories mod is released and I'll get it. I believe it was stated that TEW 2013 mods would be converted to go along with the new features. Anyone ever play the regular versions of the game without real world mods?

Mad Dog Posted January 10, 2016 Report Share Posted January 10, 2016 Yeah. The fake world is very rich with lore and history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I always thought it was easier to book the TEW universe guys because you could fit them into the mold you wanted. Real world wrestlers in the random settings of the game could come up either way short or far too good compared to what they actually were. It was hard to see some wrestlers picked out as massive superstars knowing what they truly were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 I find that hindsight makes the real world too easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Dragon Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 As a long term TEW fan, I'll jump into say this is my most anticipated game of the year the moment it was announced Anyone ever play the regular versions of the game without real world mods? I know more about the Cornellverse then most people know about anything, because I have that weird thing that when I get really interested in something I break it down to science. I think the Cornellverse is significantly more interesting to book then the real world. Wider array of interesting promotions, no real personal connections to wrestlers, and more general room for creativity. As said, it's hard to push someone you watch in real life and don't like or to completely drop them off the card if you like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet-Left Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Has anyone else tried the '1970' mod for the previous version? I love the idea of it but I can't get even a single year booked without burning out or getting too frustrated that talent I've been cultivating keeps getting poached.

cactus Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 I prefer using the in-game universe as I find it much more balanced than all the real-world mods. Plus, the real-world one is so slow to load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowBlowPodcast Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 anybody playing the demo? I have been going through a couple of scenarios... a lot of great additions and some minor flaws but definitely a worthwhile purchase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I've been playing it. It's insane how much this game has grown. It's really become much more immersive since the 2007 iteration or even the 2010. Not just in all the minutiae that comes with running a promotion, but in how the game world interacts with itself and you. There's a kind of organic role playing element that is so much more present. Guys getting heat for accidentally injuring other wrestlers or one of your stars burying another wrestler in an email to you. That's fucking cool. It no longer feels like you're just playing with souless action figures in your bedroom, it feels more like an ant farm that you're also inside. That being said it can be insanely overwhelming at first when you open up the game and there's a few dozen buttons staring you in the face. My favorite moment so far was when my talent got raided by a company I'm "at war" with. I lost about 4 guys. I jobbed them out on their last show, and I had this option to give a locker room speech. I praised one of my guys for a great job, then ripped the defectors to shreds in front of everyone. And then I found out that actions like that affect how my locker room perceives me and changes how they perform for me. That kind of detail is very fucking cool.

Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Are there any real world mods out for the new version yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted April 30, 2016 Report Share Posted April 30, 2016 Not yet. The modders only just now got their hands on the game like everyone else and there's a ton of stuff they have to add and convert from their 2013 mods. The good news is that the bulk of the information from the 2013 mods can be converted over, so a lot of the tedious shit like adding every worker is done. Now it's just figuring out how to incorporate all the new goodies. There's a bunch of mods getting worked on right now though. There's at least one present day one, a 93-94 ish one, and several from the 80's. A DC Comics one that somehow sounds kinda silly and fun. I'm sure they'll probably start rolling out in the next month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 21, 2018 Report Share Posted March 21, 2018 I know there are a couple of vets here. I usually book TCW or SWF and those are comfortable zone places for me. I'm trying out USPW and I was hoping for some tips. The roster is fairly foreign to me minus some guys they've grabbed. What's the best way to book the promotion and are there any match notes that work well here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 Nothing better than a guy getting popped for steroids twice in 3 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
