Most people who are interested will know that EWR is released tommorow at 10am.

 

The game can be downloaded from

 

http://www.tanc-online.co.uk/ew .

 

I was reading the guide thingy, and I came across my first problem, installing the game. I don't know how to creat a new directory as the instructions tell you, can anyone help me?

If you've created a new folder, then a directory is ust the same thing.

 

When you open Windows Explorer, and look at your files, you will notice you C: drive and all the folders underneath...click on the C: and go up to File and select New...Folder and name the folder EWR. After you've done that, click once on the EWR folder and select New...Folder again and name it DAT....then again and name that one GRX.

 

This will give you:

 

C:/

EWR

DAT

GRX

 

All you need to then do is unzip the .dat files into DAT, the graphic files into GRX and everything else into EWR.

 

:xyx

Many thanks Tsu :D

Also...if you go onto the EWR Message Board, a guy has created a batch file that'll make up the sub-directories for you and move all the files to the right places, once unzipped...you'd still need to make up the EWR one though.

I was also wondering about that so cheers for clearing that up. The game sounds VERY good.

I'll be reviewing it for TWO...But not right away, I'll have to play the game all weekend....er...For journilistic purposes of course.

So, I could feasibly have a diary up before your review is finished? hmmmmm hehe

Why don't you stick to helping RXPW with the updates, and I'll stick to the reviewing? ;)

Because I'm a man of many talents, that's why. :)

i just got it, and i been playing it, and i love it, will keep me busy for a long time. Just had my first raw show and got a 6.07 rating

I was MLW from 12 till 9:45 pm, made a few financial errors but i'm back on track now...my TV ratings are around the 1.4 mark somewhere and I've just signed Paul Heyman. :) Oh...CZW went bankrupt.

 

Obviously I edited what needed edited.

This may come as a surprise, but I actually can't be bothered with the booking system. Don't get me wrong, its excellent, but when your someone with 3 shows it week, it can piss you off doing it again and again.

Ok, I went to that link and couldn't find the download at all, can someone give me the proper link?

If you go to http://www.tanc-online.co.uk/ew/ the if you click on the link which says minor downloads you download iitfrom there.]

 

I am using the nwa-tna, and I have got a contarct for 2 tv shows, on fox and tnn, my lowest rating recorded was 3.33 and my highest 3.39, At the moment the only think I'm concerned about is my public image which is 27%.

i think i chose the easy option going with wwe. My raw rating lowest was 5.85 and smackdown lowest was 5.25 i think, i might start again later with a different fed to see if its any harder

Cheers mate

Started my WWE last night, played for an hour and ran my first week:

 

I fired some dev talent, plus The Godfather, Mark Henry and The Bossman...fired a few annuncers like Coachman, Okerlund and Lloyd. Brought in Don Callis as an announcer and one John Finnegan, the old ECW Referee.

 

Decided not to use the injured guys like Kane, Kanyon, Rhyno, Awesome and co

 

RAW:

 

Made Benoit's switch permanent and had an 85% segment with a confront with Flair. Also brought in Vader (to work alongside Brock and Heyman), Shane Douglas, Scott Steiner (nWo), Goldberg, Masato Tanaka and Randy Savage.

 

Main event was Booker T/Goldberg vs Nash/X-Pac with Steiner and Big Show attacking Booker and Goldberg...this ended with Booker complaining about them working too stiff.

 

Rating: 6.08

 

Smackdown:

 

Brought Mike Sanders and Rey Misterio Jnr in from Development and signed up Curt Hennig and Taka Michinoku....probably more potential on this roster. Don Callis and, I think, Jim Cornette on the mic.

 

Main event was Hogan/HHH vs Taker/Angle...don't really remember much else about my card, but need to definitely create a tag team or two. Perhaps The Thrillseekers will return. Keibler and Dawn Marie all refused a bra and panties match...so erm, oh I had one of them stripped in the backstage area.

 

Rating: 5.21

 

On a sidenote: Rico caused a fight backstage and is suspended for a month.

 

Heat:

 

This is my blowoff show, as I split 4 matches for RAW and 4 for the SD roster...no angles or interviews. I got a 2.76, with the Taka vs Funaki feud starting, my big plans for Hugh Morrus beginning to take shape and Tazz actually putting his gear on for once. Announcing was done by Cole, I think, with Shane Douglas...slightly silly, as Shane wrestled Bubba to continue the challenge run on RAW.

 

Yet to decide how to use Austin, Steph and The Rock...probably to put other people over and build the quality of the roster up.

I've also been playing the game every minute I've been near my PC. Just got a 6.21 rating for Raw, with Benoit and Eddie Vs Austin and Edge (WWE Champion) as my main event. Jindrak and O'Haire are feuding with Chuck and Billy, D-Lo is feuding with Mike Awesome over the Raw belt while Rhyno and Kanyon are fighting over the SD! belt (I got rid of the Euro and IC belts and made them into Raw and Smackdown! belts).

 

The game's far from perfect though, but I'll save most of my material for the upcoming review.

Man, I love this game.

 

I remember having that crappy TNM game ages ago, and this is so much better than it. Sure its flawed in some areas (would have been nice to be able to edit/add match types) but its got enough to keep me going for now.

 

Ooooh cant wait now, must go, WWE Vengeance to book..Surprisingly, I havent fired HHH yet either...yet :P

After playing this, I just hope that (when it's finally finished) Promotion Wars 2 will be better.

 

Summer 2001 release my arse !

Another point is that when you take over the WWE, you really see how bad some of the problems they have are...eg. the tag team division.

 

I've solved this by creating a couple, Josh Matthews and Chris Harvard as the heel tag team "Tough Enough" and Bull Buchanan and the Godfather in the heel tag team "Creative Development"...even then its having to face problems like that that make the game feel more real :D

 

Quite addictive this game is. :D
