If you've bought TEW 2010 or WMMA 3, email arlie@greydogsoftware.com vrom the same email address you used there as he's sending out Steam keys to the first 250 people. I imagine there's plenty left.

Glad you can have a manager, lame that you can't use Brisco. He's in the game, wonder why he's locked out of MyCareer. I guess you're restricted to "modern" managers.

Mar 24: National Battle Upgrade

Rather than simply being a battle of the best event rating of the month, the national battle system now has a focus on star power within a roster. So, at the end of the month the game compares the 'draw' of the rosters involved and the company who has the most star-powered roster will come out on top. There is a special screen in your office that gives you an exact breakdown of how things currently stand.

This better simulates the Monday Night Wars era, which was always about who had the bigger and hotter stars rather than being about who actually produced the best show that month, and more importantly makes clashes between giant companies much more of a long-term and strategic war - stealing top talent now becomes a much bigger deal and can have huge ramifications due to the 'swing' it can create (i.e. the company the worker left is losing some of their star power while simultaneously boosting their rival who he has joined), and developing new, hot stars (and then protecting them properly) also becomes key.

This does not affect the regional battle system, which remains as it was. This therefore creates a key difference between them: regional battles are much more volatile, with constant changes in winners and losers, while national battles become a long-term war, with it being perfectly possible for one company to go many months (if not years) on top before being toppled when their rivals manage to finally steal that one top worker or develop that one white-hot superstar of their own. This therefore better simulates how the wrestling industry works.

Mar 24: Pay Rise Requests

For the first time in the series, employees can request pay rises without requiring an entirely new contract to be negotiated. The user has the option not only of accepting of refusing the offer, but also giving partial pay rises if he's trying to save a buck of two. This adds a new layer to the strategy of managing a locker room \ finances and eliminates the previous 'loophole' whereby a worker could get trapped on a much lower pay than he deserved thanks to being stuck in a lengthy deal.

Mar 24: Toxic Workers

Workers can now become embroiled in scandals of various sorts which, once publicly reported, cause them to become 'toxic' for several months and therefore virtually unemployable due to the popularity damage they'd do to anyone who chooses to have them on their roster. This can cause top stars to fall from grace and create major changes in the game world, as well as creating nice dilemmas for the player - whatcha gonna do when an iconic star turns out to be a racist, brother? (Probably fire him.)

Mar 24: Psycho Complaints

Workers classified as Psychopath style are now far less likely to complain about doing sick bumps or dangerous bouts, even if they have a conservative personality. However, to balance this out, older wrestlers are now more likely to switch from Psychopath to another, less intense, style to extend their career.

Mar 24: More Backstage Incidents

The number of possible backstage incidents has been massively increased in order to create more variety.

Mar 24: Detailed Match Display

Double clicking a segment in any of the 'historical' data screens (i.e. match histories, results, company histories, etc) now loads an expanded view which shows the details of the bout, including exactly who was in it - clicking on any of the workers loads their profile. This solves the occasional issue whereby the user doesn't know who is in a match because they're using an alternate identity or unusual tag team name.

Here's an odd question for the wrestling game thread... My 5 year old daughter has had an interest in fighting games, and we played WWF No Mercy on N64 the other day and she kind of got into it. Unfortunately, the game is really dated and she only wants to play as the girl wrestlers, and I only have the 1 N64 controller that works these days.

I was thinking of what other retro wrestling games we have that would be easy for her to get into, because it could be fun doing a tag team with her and beating the computer on easy. I am not a fan of the new WWE 2K games where you need to time the kick out, because even I get pinned instantly with that poo poo.

Day of Reckoning 2 on Gamecube seemed like a winner with graphics that are not horrible and at least 4 women that she can pick and mix in with the guys. And the controls seemed straight forward. I cannot remember if WrestleMania X8 was any better though, but it has a bigger Women's roster. But it's an older game I think.

I also have WWE 13 and WWE 2K16, but I can't remember which one of those doesn't have the pin kickout mini game which I hate.

I basically have a Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Switch, PS3, and PS4 with enough controllers to play a game with her.

The Bee posted:

Yeah, as long as we have someone officiating I can't see it going too badly. Though I understand not wanting to give people to freely speak or write and end up slipping some poo poo in there. Maybe any promos could be screened/presubmitted to stop that in its tracks, but I can also respect if people just can't or don't want to open that door nonetheless.

Last I recall, sometime in early June, I think?

Takuan posted:

It depends. I'm not sure about on PS4, but on the PC side all the big edit makers bought all the character-DLC(New Japan/Stardom) and use the parts when necessary to make the best edits. So if you wanna use all the edits, you'd probably have to get the 2 NJPW and 1 Stardom DLCs. There should be a message on the download screen for edit that says if a particular DLC is needed for it.


Avenger/Avenger3 is one of the top PC edit makers that's been porting his works to PS4. I've also heard a creator called Miguel-Francisca is good, but don't have firsthand experience with their work.
