Yeah, because the game is completely insane my developmental company's last show was viewed by 28 MILLION PEOPLE through my giant over the air broadcaster. It's really fun to have a show where the washed up legends I can't book in my main company anymore teach a bunch of 18-22 year olds how to work.

I'm playing a TEW scenario as WCW, and really getting sick of Turner Broadcasting blocking me from getting tv deals. Can I make my own broadcaster to bypass that, or will they also be pissy about clashing coverage? They have tiny coverage in a lot of the world and it's cramping my style, WWF is beating me even though their product sucks

As far as I know if they have clashing coverage you will be blocked from airing on the newest contract, even if that contract is giant and the other one is tiny I think you might be able to cheat by turning the weekly show into an 'event' and airing it on your network. Not sure if that would somehow destroy your company though.

It's one of those things that seems like a feature that adds realism, but hurts fun. I'm putting on great shows but it's not reflected in my popularity, and it seems like there's nothing I can do about it. I'm just gonna keep raiding people from WWF and trying to ruin them that way, I guess.

If I recall correctly, they're essentially normal matches with rounds, no pins, submission and KO only. I don't remember if you can irish whip people into the cage. It doesn't change a wrestler's moveset to be more MMA-esque or anything like that.

You can't irish whip in the cage and pins break up automatically, don't remember if there are any other blanket changes. Characters have move slots for front mount, rear mount, and sprawl positions, plus reversals for each position (other positions are built into the moves themselves.) Basically, it's just like a normal lock-up but with more limited options. It's actually pretty cool and customizable for how rudimentary it is. Oh, and transitions are assigned moves, which I bring up because: 1. You can give up your position and get caught in an armbar from the bottom (or, y'know, a huracanrana...) 2. Transitions do spirit and breath damage to opponents, so you can totally just wrestlefuck someone to wear them down. Additionally, there's the "SWA" mode that's in a wrestling ring, it's basically RINGS/Pancrase K-1 rules mode sucked. I'm not sad to see it go.

I'm so glad I never went ahead with any of my previous thoughts about starting my own development territory and waited until PWG was going out of business. Other than Tyler (and Marshall's family, obviously) I've never heard of any of these people and I hope the Young Bucks have a lot of fun kicking the poo poo out of them. You'll have more friends join you soon. I'm probably going to hire pretty much everybody who shows up as being hot in my news feed, at least for a little while. Will a developmental trainer wrestle matches if they're still active or is "active training" meant to be done through people you just send there to work? Was thinking of sending Finlay, but he's such a great road agent I don't want to lose him. Motor City Machine Guns both score pretty high on the relevant skills. They were my first tag champs (and my first 2x champs) but I haven't really done poo poo with them for a while. Maybe both of them, especially if a trainer can still wrestle.

If so that's kind of weird but it could be fun.

If like you had a "school company" where no one was over you'd probably get bothered that your trainers were being overused because they're the most over guys on the roster. But with PWG you're probably fine as they'll just work into the roster. Employ 2 or 3 vets, maybe even guys from your roster who you don't have any current story use for. They'll blend in. One of the cool things about TEW16 is that if you have like a vet that you shoved in a tag team just to give them something to do you can go ahead and send them to the developmental as a trainer and then just "borrow" them on show days to use the tag team. Its a fun little way to use guys like that if you don't care about giving them pushes or stories.

The only downside is that it also includes 2* tokens as well I got a decent rate of 3* ones it seemed tho, that really seems like the best investment in my brain unless you save up 10k and go for broke trying to get one of the Mega Superstars one time

If so that's kind of weird but it could be fun. Yeah, taking side control or half-guard or w/e is just part of a move from one of those positions. You can attack the opponent from guard when they mount you (or assign a character the guard pull move) but you can only assign one move to guard. Which kinda sucks, because they have a pretty cool little variety of moves from there.

The developmental fed will use them in whatever role they're best at. So if they're an active wrestler, that's what they'll do. It's pretty cool.  The incredible illustrious history of my developmental fed's world title. The Tag Titles have been Samoa Joe + different developmental partner for the past 4 years lol Honestly it's one of my favorite parts of the game. I love signing up all of the young talent and having something to do with guys who aren't good enough to work for me directly anymore. I have two developmental feds that I started myself and I bought out RoH to keep them from going out of business and made them one too. I have about 40 people under developmental deals. It's actually kind of dumb because the other companies really won't compete for anyone who doesn't have high overness, so you can sign every good prospect no matter what. Makes the game easy, but I've already stomped WWE and become the undisputed top promotion, so I'm enjoying it. I also created an alliance with Smash, ICW, New Japan, DTU, and Zero 1, and it's really fun having alliance titles and seeing my younger stars show up on their shows to defend them. edit: speaking of, I've made it far enough into the game that most of the "real" people are either retired or declining in ability, so I'm pinning my hopes for the future on these guys:     Trying to develop young wrestlers instead of just fantasy booking the people I like in real life is a new experience, usually I get bored of the game by this point and quit Marquis de Pyro fucked around with this message at 02:10 on May 27, 2017 |

Thanks! Yeah, the fact that you can "borrow" anyone you have on a Developmental contract for any show is a really flexible tool for you that you won't fully appreciate until that day you're like one tag team short of booking a card and remember you can just grab one from NXT/OVW/Whatever and send them on your way. It allows you to majorly expand your roster and try out things with no real "cost" or planning. Its fun for the in-head world building. The only rub is them being ok with being used that way, but that's workable. Alliances are fun that way too because between them and developmentals you can build this little "universe" for yourself where you push along a lot of talent trading and interactivity.

Perry Normal posted:"Danielson" and "Jericho" brands. That's awesome. It's going to be interesting if I keep this file going that far into the future. Guys are retiring left right and center in my game now. Oh yeah, my roster got huge so I decided to do a brand split rather than sensibly firing a ton of people. Jericho had been my main generically face authority figure character for the past 6 years or so, he replaced Shawn Michaels after HBK became toxic in a racism scandal and then ODed and died. I decided that the basis for the split would be Jericho suddenly turning heel (I do like all clean finishes and have not done any heel authority stuff so this was totally insane by my company's standards) in order to help his BEST FRIEND Kevin Steen keep the world title in a defense against Adam Cole. I then had Jericho spend about a month cutting promos about how only his BEST FRIEND and other deserving veterans should be on TV and the young guys/people he didn't like would be fired. Then I introduced Danielson, who had just left WWE, as the 'face' authority figure who showed up and took all of those guys to his brand. Kept everything separate but for a big blow off between the brands at a PPV and then just rolled along as separate shows with no interaction between them for a good 6 months. Now I'm doing an angle where Corey Graves invaded the company and was determined to destroy them as revenge for WWE (hey, every promotion needs an nWo angle at some point) and he's BREAKING ALL THE RULES by appearing on both brands and managing people in both brands as heels. Jericho and Danielson now working together as grudging partners to save the company. My current plan is for Ichimonji to save the day by defeating Marc McKing (who I have kept unbeaten since he popped out of the dojo straight to the main roster) and then Endoso (top "invasion" heel) to unify my top titles at my big end of the year show. I'll then have one world champ who appears to defend on both brands, because I think having two "equal" world titles is dumb and just makes them both seem lovely. I tend to get bored with short term angles and just stopped doing them, but I like having an overarching long term story for my shows even if most of them are just "this would be a cool match" when it comes to the actual booking.

Yeah, Graves was spur of the moment, his contract was up with WWE and he was B+ overness everywhere, and he had good mic + charisma skills so I figured why not. The prostitute thing is kind of what made my company, WWE fired Kevin Steen/Owens after his prostitution scandal and I immediately hired him and made him my star, that was the catalyst for my taking over as the #1 promotion. Somehow I imagine it would be a lot worse for Okada in real life, I imagine the game doesn't actually model any differences in how Japan would handle such a scandal, but it's pretty funny to imagine.
