Is there a good guide to explain the differences? I had no idea the features you're talking about existed.
Countering a back suplex while playing as one of the big-name AJPW guys usually causes you to no-sell the suplex and clobber the opponent with a lariat or elbow or whatever.

For the burning finishers, taunt while your Special is active. You go into super special mode and get to pull off Burning Hammers, Ganso Bombs and Tiger Driver '91s instead of your normal special. You can only use a burning finisher once per match, and I'm not sure if all wrestlers in the game have them.

Hiding the crowd.
Sucks but at this point there's really not much to do, save sacrifice 90% of next-gen system RAM to rendering something other than Quake 2 models. All the other sports games have the luxury of either going with really wide camera angles (basketball, baseball) or depth of field effects (football) to hide how lovely the crowd models are. Even UFC gets the big obstructive cage. But in wrestling games you have to be able to throw dudes on the railing and maybe grab replica belts from bystanders in a hardcore match. They just have to be there, moving in small, rigid loops and counting pinfalls a second or two later than they should

You learn a lot, lurking on the TEW 2013 forums

quote:

Enhancement Talent and Openers are not affected by the Recent Fortunes mechanic, meaning their ability to gain/lose Momentum is unaffected by wins/losses. Obviously they won't gain momentum during a long losing streak, but in my experience they won't lose it very fast either.

You can keep a prospect as a jobber for an extended period while they train up their skills (as long as they accept the push). Then when you're ready to push them, manually raise their Push to Lower Midcarder and start featuring them in good matches and angles. Their momentum will rise normally.

Momentum sells tickets, popularity gets segment ratings (momentum does help with the latter too).

Playing TEW very late before bed last night, had a good laugh at this ridiculous team that had formed in Smokey Mountain Wrestling between Bob Armstrong and loving New Jack. Come to find out today that I must have been exceptionally groggy, as it's actually New Jack and Tracey Smothers not "Bullet" Bob. Which is still weird, but not as much of a mindfuck as New Jack / Bob Armstrong.

3 years into my TEW scenario, AI-controlled WWF putting on a hell of a Wrestlemania 2000. Here's the top matches:

Main event
Jeff Jarrett beats The Rock to retain the WWF title

Taker and Animal go to a draw (RIP Streak lol)

HHH over Austin for the IC title

Edit: Oh I forgot to mention the best part, they ran it in a Gymnasium in Japan in front of 7,000 people.

The AI loving loving Animal is the best. I can't imagine anything topping Jeff Jarrett over the Rock at Mania, but the last Mania in my game did involve the WWF World Championship going undefended on the card.



JYD is the champ and has been a consistent midcard presence while Hogan and Flair work in the main event above him.

He's only made 14 title defenses in a 20 month reign as Champ, so this makes sense.

I also just now noticed that the card included a intergender match between MEGA MAN TOM MAGEE and Desiree Petersen. I looked at Petersen's match history and she also recently lost to Jimmy Jack Funk and defeated Barry O. No other women are wrestling men. What the hell.

Do they actually differentiate between the moves of the Usos, or say, Los Matadores for these games? WWE has never bothered to give either member of either team a distinct style from his partner, so it doesn't seem like they need to take up extra character slots either. I can see it for the Bellas since they actually have individual styles now, but not so much "tag team consisting of relatives who for all intents and purposes look and wrestle exactly the same".

There is some differentiation in moves as well as stats, but not enough to overcome their interchangeable non-gimmick

This is nitpicky, but I always wished that they'd record the ring announcers from the middle of the ring or take their clean audio from an actual show. They never sound right when they're just doing it from some audio booth.

I really wish they threw in an easter egg where the ring announcer has a 1 in a 100 chance to gently caress up the name of the person or something, just like in real life.

The last game had some audio taken from broadcasts—Cena talking on the ramp, Paige's scream, etc—and it sticks out so badly it's worse than a studio recording. You don't notice it when it's part of a TV show, but the difference in sound quality between broadcast recordings and the audio you're used to coming from a game is too great to use.

They certainly could do more to studio recordings to make them sound more live, even just a little reverb and better crowd mixing would go a long way, but using actual arena recordings isn't the way to do it.
