But come on, honestly, if you don't like TEW 05 at all, in any way, is there really any chance I'd like the later versions, aren't they improving/building on ultimately the same game?
Well yeah if you don't like booking wrestling then, you wont like the game. But the layout is completley different to 05 as well as over 100 new features designed to improve the game.
I understand that its a long winded game compared to the simplistic EWR but TEW is so much more realistic and you have so many more things to think about like in real life.
If you want to complete a year in a day then you'll be disapointed with TEW coz you need more smarts and thinking to make it work. I usually try and plan for 5 PPVs in advance at all times and have my biggest PPV card in mind.
The mistake most people make is to jump into the biggest or best promotion and then complain that they have too much to book.
If you dont want the game to take a long time then pick a promotion with one show a week and 8 PPV's a year rather than the biggest who have 3 TV shows and 14 PPV's.
If you have only played Real World mods you are missing out coz the fictional database is miles better and much more playable.
My best game is 7 years in with a cult level promotion (so like what old ECW would have been) and i love it. I've had good times (where i got the company to National level) and bad times (where a bigger promotion took my world champion and biggest star) but i re-built and thats very satisfying.
Its $35 which is about £22..... Give it a go. But even if you dont if i do a diary people should have a read of that and give me their input.
