And in the following video/rest of the stream Johnny ends up getting really into Fire Promoter and does an entire year while having slip run the numbers from a pile of broken chair parts. I highly recommend the serious playthrough, almost more than the jokey/bullshitty one, because a really good throughline is just how into it they get as they try and make the shows work while terrified they will end up in a death spiral.

Out of those changes, I think I'm most excited about the 'partner miscommunication' thing. The new TEW looks like it could really reinvigorate the series.

Same, I've used the "turn" note and it has never really felt super appropriate for that type of finish.

STAC Goat posted:

Yeah, I like that since its a finish I always had trouble simulating but I also like the extra people at ringside since sometimes you just want someone involved for story purposes. And the wording seems to suggest there's some kind of "Lumberjack Match" setting now.

Heel stables doing bullshit at ringside can now be representing in game, I am a big fan of that development

TEW 2016 is definitely worth $20 if you're into that kind of game. The only negative with GDS is their insistence on sticking with eLicense. Even an exclusivity to the Epic store would be an upgrade over eLicense. :sigh:

If I ever want to replace my card, i consider buying something from Grey Dog Software, because without fail my bank sends me a new card every time I use their service.

Had a fun time today using the new July 2019 RWC mod on TEW 16 playing with AEW.

I always get a greater perspective on a promotion's or WWE's latest brand split/draft via playing it through on TEW. AEW's roster is a well balanced and diverse mix of talent that you can let your mind run free with and a roster of people who know no one has really put their fingerprint on. Has really re-invigorated what has been for years a WWE simulator. Even playing with ROH or IMPACT you can subconsciously re-run their historical playbook even if you didn't intend to. AEW is a blank canvas.

I always end up either historically, or contemporaneity, making a custom promotion and just trying to do cool poo poo. AEW's rise has felt a lot like that.

any wrestling game that lets you get pinned 1-2-3 even in the first 10 seconds just because you missed some stupid loving minigame cue is bad and is laughably bad game design.

Counterpoint, matches where dudes get rolled up 1-2-3 in the first ten seconds of match own.

Yeah, I'm trapped in that "don't want to start a new game because I want to do stuff that I'll be able to do in the next version" limbo.

I've found that doing Effganic gimmick runs are good for this grey period because as soon as I get bored of the gimmick I can move on to the next one and the mod makes the game run fast enough that you can get an idea running with relatively little downtime.

Do all the booking in TEW then sim the matches in FPW, obviously

I put Shawn Michaels and Austin in a landmine match and its currently been going for 65 minutes

Did the ref get dropped and refuse to get back up? Because I've seen that happen which causes a match to literally have no way of ending.

Now about how low the popularity values of AEW wrestlers are and how it's impossible to put on a show good enough to satisfy TNT...

The mods are bad and I have to literally hand-(re)craft AEW to make it make some semblance of sense and not instantly die. If it weren't too much of a giant problem, basically every wrestler in the game should be way better than the mods leave them, pop numbers are "fine" sort of, but the wrestlers should be putting way better in-ring ratings and segment ratings because the talent is GOOD.

It's a loving mess.

cranking everyone's in-ring skills up has let me squeak by in AEW test-games, but is very ugh.

I would be very down. Diamond and Pearl are my favorite gen conceptually, but man oh man do they run slow to me now.

Now I' thinking if AEW wrestlers would be the pokemon sprites, or the human characters.

If they could work with NJPW, so Rocky Romero could be Incineroar.

You're Tony Khan, and you have to catch them all! Your three starter choices are Cody, Kenny, or Jericho.

Cody is Piplup because Empoleon/Kingdom and Cody is going to need Empoleon's high collar design to hide his neck tat to get babyface reaction.
Jericho is Turtwig because of the spikes.
Kenny is Chimchar because they both keep taking photos with problematic streamers.

Hey, so it's kind of weird and maybe off topic (but I've seen other people post similar-ish) but prior to Dynamite I'm doing a livestream booking WCW 2001 and beyond in TEW 2016. It's a continuation of a save I started in Jan 2001 (at the beginning of COVID quarantine) and have now made it to April.

https://www.twitch.tv/drkarmicknight

But yeah, I'll be running from now until about the start of Dynamite.

Still feels weird, but if anyone wants to kill time before Dynamite: I'm still running WCW 2001 in TEW 2016 at https://www.twitch.tv/drkarmicknight from now until before Dynamite.

+ Sting got sent to rehab beat Scott Steiner and returned the belt to WCW management before disappearing!
+ Paul E Dangerously is back in WCW, as it's President?
+ I'm running a round robin tournament? Am a masochist or just stupid? (a bit of both)
+ The stars of tomorrow are the job guys of today!

So, I'm playing TEW 2020 on stream now, using the 1990 dataset, and booking an approximation to AJPW/King's Road style in the America as Paul Heyman in Chicago (I hosed up and deleted a save where I had Paul start an ECW-alike in the same data), please come and help me. We have Arnold Schwarzenegger and a Quebecois Nationalist faction.

Also I came up with the pun Paul Japan Pro Wrestling and am VERY PROUD.
