EWR/TEW

[Maskya Yoshida]

Any of you lot play either of these games still?

Currently got a WWE game going on TEW13. Couldn't be bothered trying to handle the current day roster so I'm using a 2003 mod, if anything the mod maker has been quite stingy in his assessment of wrestlers so it's been hard to get decent ratings in most matches. Just reached May in game, my Wrestlemania card was;

WWE Wrestlemania XIX

Edge + Benoit bt. Los Guerreros ^{(C)
WWE Tag Team Titles Match}

Trish Stratus bt. Daffney and Victoria ^{(C)
WWE Womens Title Match}

Matt Hardy ^(C) bt. Rey Mysterio
^{WWE Cruiserweight Title Match}

Ric Flair, Batista + Randy Orton bt. Rob Van Dam + The Dudley's

John Cena bt. Hulk Hogan

Christian bt. Chris Jericho

Jeff Hardy bt. Raven
^{WWE Intercontinental Title Match}

The Undertaker bt. The Rock

Kurt Angle ^(C) bt. Brock Lesnar
^{WWE Heavyweight Title Match}

Shawn Michaels bt. Triple H ^{(C)
WWE World Title Match}

Looking at what is happening currently in the game. On RAW HBK beat HHH at Backlash in a rematch of WM, I'm now building up to a Jericho HBK match at Summerslam. Triple H, RVD and Christian are in a mini feud about who should be the number one contender between the eventual Summerslam match and now. After WM, Orton and Batista beat Booker T and Goldust for the Tag Titles with help from Flair so they're currently feuding. The Flock (Raven, Richards, Punk and Daffney) are still feuding with Jeff Hardy over the IC title, but since Raven is a pain in the arse backstage I'm going to turn Sting heel soon so he can be the new leader of The Flock, which is basically designed to get Punk over. 

On Smackdown Angle, with the help of Benjamin and Hass has managed to beat Lesnar and Taker in recent weeks in title matches. Lesnar is now getting targeted by Heyman's client The Big Show so it'll be Taker vs. Angle for a while. Edge + Benoit still have the tag titles but will lose them to the WGTT soon so Benoit can challenge Angle for the title. Cena, who is essentially McMahons chosen one is still taunting Hogan about beating him at WM, after Lesnar has got rid of Show I'll probably put them in a programme. Los Guerreros will be splitting up soon with Eddie turning face as another challenger to Angle. Hardy, Kidman and Mysterio are all still feuding over the Cruiserweight title. Also Rhyno is now US Champion and dominating anyone who challenges him, 'cause I have nothing else for him to do.

I also decided to sign the entire independent scene essentially, so I've changed Velocity into a third brand similar to that of NXT so they're not all stuck in development. Christopher Daniels is the current NXT Champion whilst the MCMG are the tag champs. The problem is I also have; Styles, Cesaro, Roode, Hero, Bryan, London, Joe to name a few so it's impossible to push them all.

So yeah I hope someone else plays TEW or EWR and can say how they're doing otherwise this is going to be a pretty lonely thread.

I had TEW 2005 when they put it out for free. Was a good game and one that I had been looking for since they removed GM mode from WWE games. Just don't like the aspect of not being able to manipulate some results to further certain storylines.

[U R GAY]

Never played it, I think I downloaded TEW2013 a few months ago but never got around to giving it a go.

Is it good? Easy to do?

[Deleted]

Got TEW 13, it's a handful but easy enough once you've got the hang of it. I'm picky though and need a good skin and picture pack if im gonna seriously get into it lol.

It's a lot to handle if you're booking Raw, SD, a PPV and possibly B shows every month though. Gone two years on a 1997 game cause I've only had to book Raw x4 and a PPV each month.

Had the urge to start up a modern day one recently, hopefully get round to it soon. Find myself always tweaking stats and making new pics though so maybe I'll never get there. If I do though,The Miz is gonna be WWE Champ again whether he gets over or not!

[RickRude]

I currently have a 1990 WWF game running and a Cornellverse game in which I'm using AAA, I actually managed to get them up to a cult sized promotion.

[The Quito Diet]

Oh ffs no I don't still play it but now you've reminded me of it I'm extremely keen to start playing EWR again for the nostalgia.

[Deleted]

EWR is miles better for me than TEW.

I downloaded a mod for TEW which was real-life, meaning I had to fill each RAW with 3 hours worth of content and that just got boring really really quickly.

Haven't played EWR for a long time, very tempted to start it back up again now though. Something to do on holiday!

[Chiken]

I have the free one and the 2013 demo. I want to get into it but it's hard to get the hang of. Any tips or pointers?

[U R GAY]

Downloaded EWR and just started up a basic game without any mods on to see what it's about.

The first thing I notice is Horshu is on the WWE roster. Of course better remebered for his cameo in the film The Girl Next Door where he plays a meathead pornstar than for anything he achieved in WWE, haha.

[The Quito Diet]

Just going into my first PPV now on EWR having scrapped Smackdown and Heat and only focusing on Raw and a few feuds as there's naff all on TV. Determined to get above 85% rating on a show before I stop though.

Mental how many 'stars' there are to keep occupied. And how HHHs gimmicks is shite and hurts his ratings but he won't change it due to his creative control.

[Deleted]

Got a real world update, with 2 months until WRESTLEMANIA.

Top feuds going into it are Bryan/Lesnar, Cena/Wyatt, Punk/Orton and Reigns/HHH.

[Deleted]

Things are moving along with the May 14 data I'm updating with new pics and shit. Thinking about Evolution v. The Shield v. Wyatt Family for Summerslam. Bryan v. Lesnar as Main Event and Cena v. (I haven't decided yet, heel Ziggler maybe) as my other top matches. Toying with the idea of splitting the titles eventually and going back to a stricter brand split so the likes of Ziggler and The Miz (lol) can get back into the Main Event scene putting on good matches on SD while the main lot of Cena, Orton, Bryan etc take care of Raw.

Probably push the shit out of Christian cause he deserves it.

Right so I started with TNA, around 3 months in.

Bully Ray is world champion after he beat Hardy and Aries, would've been Magnus/Aries but fucking Magnus got injured for 8 months so that was thrown out the window. Bully is now feuding with AJ who beat Roode at Unbreakable, so my two main feuds are Bully/AJ and Roode/Hardy.

Debuted a new faction after WWE released a shit load of NXT talent, including Neville, Zayn and Kalisto. Haven't done much with those 3 yet but I've signed Steen, Devitt, Young Bucks and Adam Cole to form a Bullet Club esque faction. At Lockdown I wanted Devitt to go over Angle but Kurt refused and because he's got creative control I couldn't change it, so I made Steen the faction leader and had him go over angle twice in a row, the latter being in a Texas Deathmatch. Devitt is now X Division champion and is moving into a feud with Neville over it, cultimating at Slammiversary with Devitt going over.

Young Bucks are tag champions and are having consistent 90+ match quality matches with Bad Influence. Gunner and Storm split up and are now in midst of a rivalry, Aries is just hovering around doing nothing so I'll probably have him feud with Cole, and Samoa Joe and Kenny King are having their 4th PPV match in a row.

[Ryan]

Decided to get EWR. Definitely better than TEW. Started from the current timeline, does anyone know if you can do more than a fatal 4 way match? (I.e a 6 way ladder match)

[Chiken]

I don't get storylines. Like, do I need everyone in a storyline for the matches to be good? Which ones should I use as a beginner? I have TEW 2005 by the way, the free one, and I'm trying to use a 1997 WWF roster.
