Current wrestling is funny if you ever used to play fantasy booking games.You get a few years into the game, the stars break down, you can't get the young workers over. Your biggest draw at this point is a 50 year old star the game let you bring out of retirement. You look at what the other companies are doing and the world champions are random old midcarders.
>>19502775That explains a lot about Tony's booking
>>19502775That's why I'm a hybridized Cornellversechad.My most successful save, which lasted for decades in game had some events, paranormal and criminal, over the years that sucked in some real world workers from various databases and a couple of Thunderverse guys.It worked though, I rescued Texas Pete from drunken obscurity and made him a household name. I took a vanilla midget called California Kid and turned him into one of the biggest stars in wrestling history.It was alright.
>>19502823I'm glad you're still around I remember that save from the old TEW threads
>>19502867I haven't played in forever. I want to get back into it but I don't want to spend $40 to do it. I've bought a few overpriced and undersupported GDS titles in the past, though I guess I do get some fun use out of them, such as Comic Book Hero.
>>19502910why would you ever pay for tew? anything after 2013 is eye rape and more convoluted than anything else
>>19502934I don't think the new one has been cracked yet so you can't pirate it. 2016 and 2020 used a shitty e-license that was easy to bypass but they changed it
>>19502934Seriously. TEW 2020 is just staring at Excel spreadsheets.
>>195029662016 and other older GDS titles had a problem where you could literally just copy your elicense.dll file from one game o another and it worked perfectly fine.I reported it to them at least once, yeah I'm a narc whatever, but I don't know if they ever fixed it.
I have a series of mods I installed and I just import everything into a special mod setup I had made of nothing and importing a ton of things but companies and workers except a few custom workers and a few feds created and I brought back babes of sin city. Than I import people from the various mods and run it at various years. usually 2016 or 2021 and lately 2006-2012 range. I also have a custom mod setup with all the females from the mods imported that were NOT wrestlers and converted to wrestlers for a laugh. so I can import a small or large setup and go from that. I also have a bunch of custom media broadcasters and other things and mods going back to the 1970s up until 2016's last real world updates in 2021.so I go with that and basically hodge podge it all into a super setup of types. I can easly hit 500 feds and 15000 total characters ranging from age 1 to 99 (and at 62 everyone is forced to retired cuz adam is a hack dev). I have enough setup I can run entire leages of nothing but female wrestling feds and having about 30 of them active. bonus if I add risque to max on all of them regardless of what type of fed it is. my current game im unemployed in 2007 and letting time pass and the few I did import build their legacy as more come in that havent debuted yet but were imported.
Does anyone like PWS
>>19502775I would try TEW but I don't pay 40 dollars to see if I like a game that you can't even refund. They made the last one so inaccessible that no one played it
>>19503521I just stayed with 2016 as every version after has a shit setup for how you run your fed. in 2016 I can run a pantybutt hardcore tlc mma fed thats based around risque and tlc hardcore matches with a slightly more mma type fighting and kind of like an action movie. but in 2021 and up he forced this category bs and now you cant do that custom shit and have to run this or that and if you go out of it you get negatives as adam's a hack loser that thinks everything has to have some bs restriction or negative and the games have less options for editing things in some ways. and I refuse to deal with him and his cant take critique pussyness. its why he cowers on his forum and wont do anything with his games outside of that as the versions he did put on steam got raked over the coals and his ego got buttseethed and he locked shit down. and his refusal to move out of visual basic 4.0 for making his games. basically he sucks and his design directions suck and he cant make a ui for shit. pity this series is stuck being tied to that idiot as it could be leagues better but he failed as we knew he would in 2021 and on.
>>19502966No, IX has been cracked since ages ago. I have been playing it for months, though there are no major improvement aside of what, like, the inner circle hijinks that can be fun at times.[spoiler]https://cs.rin.ru/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=142470&hilit=total+extreme+wrestling[/spoiler]
>>19503547Ah fuck me I forgot spoiler tags don't work in /pw/. Anyway, you got the idea.
Sounds like every single MyUniverse mode since its inception
>>19503521Does it not have a free demo that let's you simulate a full month of shows? The old versions had one.
>>19503971topkek oh god no.... demo? that'd expose his game as shit and not worth 5$ let alone $40. demo lol. you got joke mans
>>19503983It was a reasonable expectation since all the old TEWs had a free demo. I guess he stopped doing that.
Good threadWe need /TEW/ threads backI’m stuck between deciding whether to do current day or 1998 atm
>>19503995>>19503983what are you guys talking about
>>19504103and for the new one
>>19504103well shit I stand corrected he does have a demo.
faggot ass rival dev who constantly bitches the game isn't on steam detectedhow is PWS or whatever your dimeless shit was called doing
Where do you get new data? I called someone a nigger and got banned from ewb
EWR or go fuck yourself!
For those of you not playing tew on here you might get a chuckle out of this. The only thorough historical mod that doesn’t have glaring omissions is 1992.
I don't really get why people complain about the price of these games. I always get my moneys worth because I get 100s of hours out of them for the price of a takeout. I'm still on 2020 and playing an Invasion save. I'm a few weeks away from the PPV which is 90% what WWE booked but then I'm going my way. I will post my planned WM18 card later and you guys can hopefully help me figure out a few spots on the card.>>19502983Bro remember on EWR when Pinky and the Brain would sometimes take over a company? Well the laptop I play 2020 on is so old it sometimes takes a while to get going if I have a few things running. Well one night I was setting up a new game and it was chugging along loading up and started spazzing out and for a couple of seconds it froze and you could see the Pinky and the Brain screen briefly. The game is built on top of one from 20 odd years ago.
>>19504803>The game is built on top of one from 20 odd years ago.Wrong, 2020 was built from scratch.
You guys are a bunch of idiots, the series has always been released with a demo. IX is the latest version, and the best, it was on sale with a discount for black friday, its on sale right now with 25% off for christmas. All the databases and mods are on the main site forum. The game was also cracked if you don't want to pay.TEW 16 turns a decade old next year, EWR is 25yo old game, 2020 was shit. You're legit a retard if you still playing any of that.
I still think that the angle system in IX is fucking awful
>>19504971I hated it at first but I’m used to it nowYou can still cheese by putting people in angles every week that highlight their one strength and ignore all their weaknesses BUT there’s now way more freedom to book creative multi-part angles with different people doing different shitObviously you still have to headcanon a little bit but that’s always going to be the case with a fantasy booking game (and the whole point of fantasy booking is headcannoning anyway)Truth is I love fantasy booking and TEW XI is the best game to do it
>>19505229Just to add to this. The only negative is the lack of playable real world mods. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy that the only people willing to put the time in to make the mods are the saddest iwc smarks imaginable so they all give AEW shitters elevated stats. People like Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy have higher star quality than LA Knight in some of themThe only well balanced mods with enough workers for long playthroughs are>1970>1992>1998 >2004
>>19505320oddly enough those are the years I work with the most and so that works for me. the lack of wahmen makes running that stuff in a fed harder. that being said modern mods always do that with over inflated stats. I tend to just go into the mod and set everyone to all 100s and go fuck it and let it play out that way. good or bad its not got some bs overhype as everyone hits god tier regardless of who it is
>>19505320Just spend a few hours editing them yourself and shut up guy. Be grateful someone else has spent days giving you the groundwork for free.
>>19503517A total piece of shit, an overly simplistic game. On march 2026 it will hit 5 years on Steam Early Access, the developer just added ChatGPT-type of AI to it to "help" you book
>>19505463>spend hours fixing the broken stats on everyone Nah I’ll stick to playing 1998 and 2004 games son
Shit currently happening my universe:>Mark Briscoe and Roadkill are the best tag team in the world>Dax Harwood is in his third consecutive month of a having a rib pulled on him every week for missing a PPV match after getting sick at an indy booking (for storyline purposes it was Big Gay Brunch)>Sending LA Knight on excursion to Japan so I can rebrand him with a samurai gimmick when he comes back>Ruined a 3-month feud between Shawn Michaels and Christian after I accidentally booked Shawn Daivari for the PPV match and didn't realize it until the results page. Thankfully Christian won the match and so I didn't have my world title on fucking road agent>Britt Baker is getting a babyface redemption arc after a year of good behavior after I had her humiliated in a bra & panties match for just being a general malcontent when it came to creative despite not having any creative control>Microman and Shaggy 2 Dope were arrested after being caught with anabolic steroids>Scott Steiner does solo commentary
>>19505320>People like Adam Cole and Orange Cassidy have higher star quality than LA Knight in some of themIt goes both ways, too. Indie/NXT/AEW darlings tend to get "spot monkey" in-ring stats regardless of their style, and WWE-style guys are treated like gods of selling and psychology even when they're spammy. The maker of the mod I have downloaded seems to think Jey Uso has less charisma and star quality but a better mind for having a logical match that makes sense than Ricky Starks. Granted I was always high on Ricky in the ring but I think that's just a little backwards.
