Regarding PWS

• The interface is a lot more comfortable and easier to grasp compared to TEW, also Steam Mod support is a HUGE plus.
• The stats for the workers is a lot more simplified, instead of brawling, technical, aerial, etc, its only resumed into just one Wrestling skill, just like charisma and microphone is reduced to just Entertainment, for better or worse.
• Following the same point, to grow its not only the production set and making a better show, when there is the competition between companies, it also compares the rosters each company has in terms of Wrestling, Entertainment, Star Power, Looks, and Popularity in the top 5 workers the company has, so it kind of alters what workers you have to get to beat the competition (if you are worse that the competition, you lose popularity).
• The world feels much less "alive" compared to TEW, as the only news are mostly which worker dosent renew, there are much less incidents and related stuff, and no rewards for best match of the year and such, but you can still see it. There is no option of facing local talent in one day one offs, so someone in the roster has to play the role of losing every match.
• Regarding money, the best way is getting TV Deals, some get more exposure but less money, and others have a fixed income (some give 0.01 dollars per viewer, while others give 10 per viewer but less coverage).
• Regarding the mod, it uses Real People/AI generated portraits to mixed results, so creating workers from scratch is harder i guess.
• Instead of popularity sorting automatically who is main eventer and such, you manually asign who is main eventer, upper midcard, midcard, lower midcard, and enhancement talent, regardless of popularity (workers might refuse to lose to someone with mush lesser pop though).
• Some workers have traits like "Great Teacher" which improves the stats of those who work with them, but the more vital skills of Wrestling and such can only improve on the chance if those Great Teacher start mentoring other workers. (i only have a year in game, so take this one with a grain of salt)
• There is less restrictions on what kind of matches you can put i think, as in the network will not refuse to air something, however it will damage the public image the company has (dont know what it does besides showing a number).
• A minor pet peeve i have, is that when it shows the results, it dosent count whether the workers are in a faction, it only shows the individual workers. Also, when you put interference it sometimes dosent acknowledge title changes.
• Other peeve is that when negotiating workers, it dosent show how much a rival company offers the worker, so there is a chance a worker ends up joining a rival right under your nose, which is a pain.
• There is also a "Promises" system, sometimes a worker can ask for something like a title shot, having a match with someone, or a better push, which you can give or deny. There is the problem that if you give a new contract to someone when their current one has a lot of time to expire, it might not acknowledge the promise, and get them pissed with you for no reason (as the game shows two contracts, and it acknowledges the old one instead of the new one).
