TEW2013 Real World Update January 2013

[cpt.charisma]

Thankyou to everyone who posted on the early release thread, i have updated eveything on that, plus the normal monthly changes like stats/title changes/etc, here is a run down of what to expect on the update:

Companies up to 67: added are Dutch Pro Wrestling (Central Europe), Family Wrestling Entertainment (Tri State USA), Irish Whip Wrestling (Ireland British Isles), nCw Femmes Fatales (Quebec Canada), NWA Hammerlock (South British Isles), Premier British Wrestling (Scotland British Isles), and Preston City Wrestling (North British Isles)

Alliances: The NWA - Members are F1PW and NWA-HL

WWE : Booker and Owner have had roster set to small, they dont fire people but it stops them raiding the indies and they tend to just call up people from NXT instead

What not to expect - Employment history, mainly because its a very long process and it will take me awhile to do this.

If you are UNHAPPY with anything please suggest what to change rather than criticise please, either post on this thread or PM me

Is there a guide detailing how to use this in the demo, if indeed possible?

[Evilman]

Yes, thank you man! And now I buy TEW 2013!

I try to give feedback then.

EDIT: Just looking at all the titles of WWE, ECW title doesn't have the last champion - Ezekiel Jackson February 16, 2010.

Hope I'm not the only one. Just small detail.

EDIT2: Aksana is no longer manager of Antonio Cesaro

Go to the Editor from the title screen of TEW2013. The first button is a little tutorial. If you've still got questions, come back. Remember, you need to run the program in admin mode.

[SirMichaelJordan]

Is there any reason why the WWE is booking events in small venues that holds barely 1000 people? Its also kind of strange seeing RAW being book in front of a crowd of a couple thousand. I also notice that Wells fargo is not listed as a venue in my hometown Philly, yet the Spectrum is listed..

Im new to TEW so I dont really now the flaws or limits of the game..So grain of salt..

[LittleDaniel]

I've noticed that too. My guess is that has to do with not really understanding how the new "choose best venue" selection works for the AI yet, but I haven't had the time to play around with it.

As for the venue, many venues aren't listed in the stats updates because there's just so many. You can always create the venue you want in the Editor (from the main menu) and then import it into your currently-running games through the in-game editor.

[EddieG]

Feel free to suggest venues to add, Adam is very quick in changing updates.

[lanky316]

A few things that could do with changing for the British scene.

I mentioned a while back you didn't have Joseph Conners in there and he's still not there, essentially needs to be very similar to Paul Malen but with higher technical and microphone skills. Also a protege of Stixx. Tag Team as "The Predators" with Paul Malen with experience of ~40 and works as a midcard heel with ASW.

James Wallace should definitely have "known problems with the law" as he has been locked up for child porn and indecency. I can't remember his sentencing but he may still be in jail now. Could be worth deleting as doubt he'll be working in the UK any time soon...

Ricky Hype has retired following winning The Apprentice.

Michael Bell has left the business due to illness.

As the TNA British Bootcamp people have still worked and are taking bookings elsewhere I'd put them down as PPA contracts rather than exclusive.

Tajiri, Michael Elgin and Kevin Steen all have/will be making appearences in the UK.

Will keep an eye out for any more I come across.

don't have tew2013 yet, but I gonna buy it this or next month.

Is wXw (the european one) in the update? if not, I offer my services to take care of that one (Roster, Promotion, Locations etc)

[LittleDaniel]

I don't think the Ophidian/Batiri group is called The Dark Army anymore. On the Chikara roster page, their affiliation is simply listed as The Batiri.

NOTE 2 : I will also work on non-wrestler workers (gimmick change, needed stat and missing staff). I think that's what I'll do next.

NOTE 3 : Maybe that I'll check every wrestlers' stats but even if I play TEW since years, I'm not very talented to find the good stats but I'll do my best if I find something "weird"

NOTE 4 : I also planned to work on every CHIKARA biography for all the current roster but my english is far from perfect so I think that I'll need help with that. I won't do it immediately though but if someone want to help, PM me.

[Skummy]

I would suggest giving Eddie Kingston the "Bad Ass" gimmick; he pretty much embodies that gimmick. Gran Akuma could possibly use "Bad Ass" too; he has some martial arts offence, but it's not really his gimmick per-sé, which is more that of a no-nonsense ass kicker.

I'm not sure if "Marching Band Member" is really necessary to create as a gimmick; you'll end up getting into a situation where you're creating a new gimmick for practically every worker. Also, the fact that he's from a marching band has for a long time been a minor part of Archie's gimmick - I'm not even sure what you'd class him as now. It's also highly likely that Archie's character will change quite a lot next season, so I'd maybe hold off and see how he's presented in the future before changing that. For now, a more generic "Fun Babyface", "Weirdo", anything based in comedy/weird could work.

I definitely wouldn't make Jakob ambiguously gay. That's not his gimmick at all; he sometimes plays it that way, but it's not his gimmick. I'd go with "Lackey" or something similar for the time being.

I'd shy away from relying on "Masked Wrestler" gimmicks for CHIKARA workers; for the majority of workers in CHIKARA, the fact that they wear a mask isn't their gimmick. Similarly to how, when doing lucha stats, you wouldn't give every single masked luchadore "masked wrestler" or "masked luchadore" as their gimmick, I'd argue against it in CHIKARA too. Some suggestions there (apologies if any gimmick names are incorrect, I'm working from memory);

assailANT - Outsider

Soldier Ant - Armed Forces

The Shard - Outsider

Ultramantis Black - Cult Leader

I'm not sure what gimmick you'd give Fire Ant and Green Ant at this point, though "Old School Face" is as good as any.

I'm also not entirely convinced by "Acolyte" for The Batiri and Ophidian. Possibly for Obariyon and Kodama, though it may be worth creating a new gimmick for Kobald, as I'm not sure anything represents him all that well, similar for Ophidian.

Hallowicked and Frightmare...I'm not really sure how you'd sum up their gimmicks at this point? Almost "Goth", in a way.

Hallowicked and Frightmare...I'm not really sure how you'd sum up their gimmicks at this point? Almost "Goth", in a way.

Here is some explanation on my work, even if I am globally agree with you :

- Eddie Kinston : I wanted to let him with a "Bad Ass" gimmick, but when I saw the description of "True Born" (A character who was made by the company for the company, to become the leader for the next generation.) I felt that's exactly how Kingston have been sold to us by Quack since he became the Grand Champion.

- Gran Akuma : When I saw him with a "No Gimmick Needed" gimmick, I immediately think of giving him the "Martial Artist" gimmick, but you're right, Bad Ass could work too even if for me, Akuma is like a "ruthless kicking warrior", I don't really know how to explain, but I'm sure that there is a better gimmick to represent this.

- Archibald Peck : I'm okay with the fact that adding a new gimmick for every wrestler would be a bad idea but I just don't see him with a gimmick as simple as "Fun Babyface". Being a Marching Band guy is how he was introduced to us and we still call him "Archie Marchie". So, just like for Los Ice Creams who, in my opinion, needed an "Ice Cream" gimmick (in the database they're listed with an "Undead" gimmick), Archie needs a "Marching Band Guy" gimmick. (If I can find something great in the "original" database, I'll go for it. But for now, I would stay with what I made.)

- Jakob Hammermeier : Being "Ambiguously Gay" isn't the main focus of his character, you've got a point. The main focus, for me, is that he is literally obsessed by Tim Donst who reject him. I'll try to find something close to this idea, but for now, I am agree with the "Lackey" gimmick.

- The "Masked Wrestler/Luchadore" case :

I'm totally agree with the fact that theses gimmick shouldn't be use in a fed like Chikara (that's why I chose "Gentleman" for Dasher) but like I said, I wanted to work on that later but you brought me good advices and I think that I'll do it now. The main problem is that some gimmicks which could fit them in reality, don't work in the game (by exemple : Armed Force for Soldier... But I think that "Forced Heel" can work). So to make them work properly, I'll have to modify some of the workers' stats and I'm not very familiar with the scale used on the forum. I'll make some test, and I'll be back with needed stats change to see if they fit the wrestler in real life. (Same for The Batiri)

[EddieG]

Bringing in more gimmicks is not a bad idea, as one of TEW2013's new features was the effect of multiple people with the same gimmick could effect whoever's doing it worse.

Yeah, it's true that we can now create "Unique" or "Generic" gimmick ! With that, I'm totally sure to keep Archie's gimmick (and even create one for Kobald and other wrestlers for whom I can't find a proper gimmick)

Anyway, this is what I made for "Masked" workers :

assailANT ----> Outsider

deviANT ----> Outsider

El Generico ----> Show Stealer

Note : Generico is a "Special Attraction" in CHIKARA and always deliver great performances.

Fire Ant ----> Daredevil or Old School Face

Frightmare ----> High Energy

Green Ant ----> Daredevil or Old School Face

Jigsaw ----> Turncoat

- Raise his microphone skills to 53 to make the gimmick works

Saturyne ----> Underdog

Note : She is the only woman in Chikara, definitely isn't like SDR and in my eyes, is booked as "weak" (I don't remember all of her matches, but it's clear when you look at her confrontation with Donst back in August)

Soldier Ant ----> Forced Heel

Note : Not "Armed Force" because it doesn't fit him in the game, and being forced to team with GEKIDO make the chosen gimmick fit.

The Shard ----> Outsider

I only have problem with UltraMantis Black's and Hallowicked's gimmick.

About Mantis, Cult Leader can work, but it's more a heel than a face gimmick AND it doesn't suit him so I'll have to make modification on his stats. That's why I think that "Fan Favourite" is a better idea. It will imply stats modifcation too, but it's a face gimmick, and Mantis is one of the guy (if not, the guy) who has the most important fanbase.

I also think of "Fan Favorite" for Wicked, but I'm even less sure that for Mantis.
