***spoilers*** TEW16 Real World Update: January 2018

[TheWho87]

Here is the update for January, not a lot to report on this month, just the usual general updating with a few additions (List of new workers added this month), I updated all suggestions posted in the threads, hopefully not much has been missed, major update this month is the new worker picture pack, still needing pictures for a little under 1,500 workers hoing to hopefully reduce this by the time of the next pack.
 

Enjoy

 

Database: January 2018
Graphics: January 2018
Workers: January 2018
Graphics DLC: DLC 1 (October 2017)
Graphics DLC contains loading screens and pictures of non wrestlers cut on the same background used for workers.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is [Promotion] closed when they are active?
Due to how slow the game runs with more promotions active, I have included active promotions but have them closed, to identify these they have their opening date and closed date the same. To activate the promotion simply remove the closed date. They may also have their titles histories included, if they do you need to go into "Title Lineages" and remove their most recent record (identified with a "= -" or "= - #" before their record name). You can then activate the title (all closed promotions titles are retired) and then set the champion if they are under contract.

- Add a starting absence of 12 weeks for Sonjay Dutt, he’s having an operation for a torn achilles

- Set LAX as the new Impact Tag Team champions, they won the titles on last nights episode.

- Set Ishimori as the X Division champion, he won the title on last weeks episode.

- Set Matt Sydal as Impact Grand champion. His title win will air on next weeks episode. 

[Gabriel]

ROH Stuff:

-Add Brandi Rhodes as a Manager for Cody

-Bully Ray should be a Face

-Beretta should be a Face

-Rocky Romero should be a Face

-If The Young Bucks are considered Faces in ROH, then Hangman Page should be as well. Or, vice-versa.

EDIT: Also add Scorpio Sky as a heel aligned with The Addiction

Remove Roppongi 3K from ROH.

Maybe up the overness for The Boys and Punishment Martinez, as they currently sit at the bottom of the ROH roster in-game.

 

EDIT 2: Remove BJ Whitmer, as he has been inactive in ROH since February of 2017. Or move him to being a manager if he has been active doing that in the Women's Division.

I would say that John Hennigan and Eddie Edwards should be about the same level. Hennigan is a much bigger draw to the North American audience, but Edwards has been pushed heavily by Impact and draws pretty well in Japan.

Just finished making some changes to their pop, this is how their new pop looks now.

I would suggest making Arkangel de la Muerte active only in Mexico, possibly Japan. He did wrestle in Puerto Rico in 2016, but just two matches. He hasn't been active in Japan either since 2011, but was more active there than in the States previously.

[SirEdger]

Spoiler

Austin Aries is the new Impact Global Champion per last night's tapings.

 

[SirEdger]

Spoiler

-Add Tyrus back on the Impact Wrestling roster

-Add Brian Cage to the Impact Wrestling roster. Both men appeared in last night's Impact tapings.

 

[Gabriel]

The ROH Top Prospect tournament should be scheduled for April, as last year's finished there. The winner from 2017 was Josh Woods, as well, and that will need to be updated.

[SirEdger]

Set Paige as Retired as WWE will no longer clear her to wrestle because of her latest neck injury.

 

https://www.pwinsider.com/ViewArticle.php?id=114747

[Gabriel]

Masaya Takahashi and Daichi Hashimoto should be bumped up to Middleweight.

I'm not sure what the game's intent is for weight classes, or what you've been going by, but it seems like 205 is the standard weight limit for Cruisers/Juniors now.

[KJE]

The game's ? help file lists lightweight from like 175 to 230.

Even by the 205 "standard" Hachimoto is 202 lbs and Takahashi is 209 lbs, I've always used the cruiserweight standard of 220 lbs with some exceptions depending on if the wrestler is used more in a light/heavy division.

She is not confirmed as retired yet by WWE or herself so I wouldn't do that just yet.

On weight limits, the game has set weight limits detailed for each different weight so that shouldn't be deviated from at all. So anybody weighing between 175 and 230 pounds should be set as a Lightweight.

It just makes it weird when you've got a Cruiserweight Title with a 205 pound weight limit, which you set for Lightweights only, and then guys who are considered heavyweights wind up fighting for it when those companies are AI controlled.

But I do understand Who. I might suggest Hashimoto and Takahashi be changed to Middleweight though anyways, as Hashimoto won the BJW Strong Heavyweight Championship at Death Vegas in December, and Takahashi competed in the main event for the BJW Death Match Heavyweight Title.

[SirEdger]

Spoiler

-Remove Ethan Carter III from Impact Wrestling as he's finished up with the company after tonight's tapings

-Add Su Yung to Impact Wrestling roster as she made her debut tonight. She's aligned with Braxton Sutter as a heel.
