Less rigid contract offers - people accept verbal and written deal easier: Contracts have been altered so that the user CPU has more control over what contracts they can offer.

More variation for TV ratings: TV ratings fluctuate more. In-Game Guide [accessible via the Game menu]: The official guide is now included as part of the game. 9 new cheating endings [accessible via the commentary text]: There are now nine new pieces of commentary that can occur when you select 'By cheating' as the finish to a match.

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted March 30, 2003 I'm getting the error message when I try to access the file editor and other wonkiness. When I try to convert 2.0 files, it's basically telling me that I smoke crack if I think that's going to work. I tried to go the EWR forums, but they appear down. If I was a suspicious man...

Guest HollywoodSpikeJenkins Report post Posted March 30, 2003 For some reason the game isnt loading for me- it says I don't have enough graphics Look at the How To Install file thing. You have to make 3 folders, and put all the files you downloaded into them. And it works just fine for me~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lightning Flik Report post Posted March 30, 2003 Worked fine for me just now. I'm currently working my federation ICW (remade). If you can actually open the winzip (just for the people who are having problems with getting it open), the guide is now built into the actual game, so just use the extract button on the whole winzip and place it into your EWR folder. That should be all you have to do. At least that's all it took for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted March 30, 2003 I said to hell with it, deleted everything I had, redownloaded the game, unzipped it and it seems to be working fine now. I have yet to really get into it, but I'm not getting the error message on the file editor and things appear jake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Retro Rob Report post Posted March 30, 2003 The only problem I had was with the converter. So I just manually split Raw, SD! and OVW into separate feds. It's been working great since then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted March 30, 2003 Now I can use insider sabotage and release misused guys from WWe (ex. Jericho, RVD, Booker) and then pick them up with my new fed. However a problem could arise with TNA signing them before I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
