TotalWrestlingAction Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Favorite Save/Promotion Alright guys, I'm just wondering what is everyone's favorite save game that they have had and why? What did you do in that particular save that has made it your favorite one. Personally, my favorite save has GOT to be my WWE 2004 one. I managed to get all the way from January 2004 to August 2006 before taking a little break and having a go with some other projects. I still have it somewhere so if anyone wants it up for download I will be more than happy to P.S What is the promotion that you love playing as the most and why? I can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!!:D:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vampmon Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>I tend to crate a fed from scratch. My favourite so far is my current one where I've taken my 'Owner' character from WMMA and brought him over to TEW along with Hollywood Adam White. </p><p> </p><p> I created two brothers for him, an older brother who is a bitter MMA wash out that didn't make his potential and a younger and smaller brother who is more of a traditional wrestler.. I built the fed around these three, starting out with them in a stable Adam as World champion and the brothers as tag team.. eventually the older brother turns and feuds with Adam for the belt never able to take it, all the while the younger brother comes up the ranks far outshines the older brother and is just starting to pass Adam and am preparing to pass the torch. </p><p> </p><p> Has been a really fun save going from a nothing promotion to one of the best in the world (believe it's about 3 atm.. been a while since I played) but was interesting having a 'legitimate' star at the top for so long.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luchador Canadiense Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>My current MAW save from the default 2013 database.</p><p> </p><p> I wanted to run "pure MAW," ie no modifications to the product, because I felt that over the years I had played, I had never really analyzed what I was doing and learned from it. So I went to the "default" learner promotion. I'm being much more through, and learning a lot as I go.</p><p> </p><p> This is on the verge of my longest save (my longest save ever was 32 events, and I'm at 30 now), I'm not burning out on this save, and I am learning a lot more than I did in the past. It takes a lot of effort for me to not throw out a save every time I feel I've made a mistake, but I'm glad I've been pushing myself forward with this one. There is a part of me that is anxious to start a new game with a Sports-Entertainment or Lucha fed, but I'm so engrossed in this one that I find if I wait out those urges, and maybe watch a couple episodes of Memphis Wrestling on youtube, I get excited about the next event.</p><p> </p><p> I'm really looking forward to the final blow off of Findlay O'Farraday vs. The Succession, my three-year long feud, at Where It All Begins Again; my impending Robbie Wright face turn in my American title storyline; and the rise of the Jersey Boys (Austin Smooth and Trix Triumph) to the point that I can put the tag titles on them. But in the meantime, I need to sharpen my booking skills so that I can start winning a few Regional Battles. Finishing third every month is really stunting my growth!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Cobra Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>My save that I started two years ago (June 2014) with the current NWA, which in my data set starts at small. I still play it, and I'm currently international sized and it's October 2026. I plan on playing through to January 1st 2027, then ending the file officially to move on to TEW16. It's been fun the last few years because most of my fed and most of the world really is made up of randoms, regens or current young indy workers who are now veterans. </p><p> </p><p> I hope to have a similarly long file in TEW16.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 A WWF 1991 save that went all the way to January 1993. I'm currently doing a redux on TEW 2013 and will do another redux on TEW 2016. I had signed many major players from WCW (Not at the same time), like Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sting, Lex Luger, DDP (Not that of a major player in 1991, but still), Brian Pillman, Ron Simmons, Dusty Rhodes, Sid Justice, Barry Windham and The Steiner Brothers, and all that plus the newblood I brought in (The likes of Steve Austin, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Owen Hart, California Kip/Billy Gunn and Razor Ramon) and the in-house talent that got deserved pushes (The likes of Rick Martel, Mr. Perfect, British Bulldog, Shawn Michaels, Dustin Rhodes and Bret Hart...Martel was more popular than Hulk Hogan at one point) made for an extremely entertaining save that I wanted to run all the way to the 2010s. Unfortunately, my Notebook's old hard drive denied me that. That son of a gun...WCW was the sheets in 1992, but I gave it a chance...after Jim Herd left, the booking improved...they still had Ricky Steamboat, Rick Rude, Vader, Cactus Jack and huhhhhhhh...Honky Tonk Man, I think. I was going to give them Bulldog and Warrior in early 1993, but their booking was improving, either way. I'm available to discuss some stories I booked and some that I had/have in mind to book if you want me to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotalWrestlingAction Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 <div style="text-align:left;"><p>those saves all sound awesome. I'm struggling a little to get into a save atm and I am really contemplating whether I should go back into my WWE 2004 save. I really want to and have so may ideas for it but I'm still really not to sure.</p></div><p></p><p></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teick Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 <p>My favourite save was in EWR, not TEW. I was running WWE, 2 years into the game on the Road to Wrestlemania 30. I had three brands: RAW, SD and NXT.</p><p> </p><p> The company was domniated by a huge heel stable (Nation Of Domination - yeah, I didn't have much inspiration) led by CM Punk, the other members being Wade Barrett, Batista, Randy Orton and Brock Lesnar.</p><p> </p><p> CM Punk was the Intercontinental Champion (which became a main event level championship) and he was feuding with Stone Cold going into WM30.</p><p> Wade Barrett was the World Heavyweight Champion with a reign of almost 2 years. He was going to defend his championship against The Rock at WM30</p><p> Daniel Bryan was the WWE Champion, feuding with Batista.</p><p> Lesnar was feuding with The Undertaker I think, and Orton was gonna win the Money In The Bank Briefcase at WM30. I was planning on having Orton turn face and cash-in on Barrett or Punk at some point.</p><p> </p><p> That's about all I can remember. I'm still sad that I lost this save...</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Sweet Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My favorite promotion/save has to be <strong>NJPW</strong>. It's just so fun and easy to book because you don't have to worry about angles and all that other stuff. Also, it goes by quickly in game as I started in Feb 2016 and now in May 2016 (I think, might be in June). And the wrestlers can put on very long matches, especially Okada, who always gets a B rating! He can put on a good match with almost everyone... Probably .. Well .. Yeah ..

TheZies Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 1991 mod of WCW got about 3 1/2 years into it, bought out WWF and then ran out of steam. Everyone was super good and super over that it just became too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BookThis Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 My old WWF/E 2002 Save. I got up to RR 2004 before it corrupted, this was before I knew of the easy fixes to most DB problems. I altered the product to a more "Modern Mainstream ECW-ish" approach, hired all of the young Indy favorites (Daniels, Danielson, Punk, Styles, Joe, Low-Ki etc.) and all of the old WCW stars within a few months. I had 9 Championships total (Way too much). WWE Undisputed WWE Intercontinental WWE United States WWE European WWE Television WWE Cruiserweight WWE World Tag Team WWE Hardcore WWE Women's My roster was 100+ (not including staff, agents, announcers, authorities) I had 4 TV shows going, was running 14 five hour long PPVs/year, and kept the Brand Split, Name change to WWE, from reality. The young Indy guys and my OVW/HWA call-ups (Cena, Orton, Batista, Lesnar etc.) were the backbone of my upper midcard by mid 2003 with the Perry Saturns, Tests and Al Snows of the world making up the lower midcard. Guys like Rey Mysterio, Daniel Bryan, Super Dragon, Billy Kidman, Tajiri, and Juventud were the highlight of the Cruiserweight division, while the likes of Trish, Ivory, CHYNA, Gail Kim, Molly Holly, Lita, Victoria, Jazz, Mickie James, etc. were holding it down for the divas of my "Ruthless Aggression" era. I signed a lot of old ECW guys too, and made the Hardcore Championship more of a Deathmatch Championship, using the likes of Mick Foley (Un-Retired) Sabu, New Jack, The Sandman, Raven, and flailing Attitude Era Midcarders such as Val Venis and Road Dogg to bring a new level of violence to the WWE. Guys like Booker T, RVD, Edge, Christian, The Hardyz, were transitioning from carrying midcard titles in 2002 to paying their dues in the semi-main event scene in 2003 with storylines with established main eventers, and their first-ever shots at WWE Undisputed Championship matches. The Tag-Team scene was off-the-hook, with the likes of the Dudleyz, Brothers of Destruction, The Outsiders, APA, The Impact Players, New Age Outlaws, World's Greatest Tag Team, Los Guerreros all having nice months-long reigns. I brought in a ton of ex-WCW guys such as Sting, Bret Hart, Scott Steiner, Goldberg, Lex Luger, Randy Savage, Hogan, Nash, Hall, Warrior, DDP, etc. to work major PPVs and select programs to elevate younger talent. And finally, the WWE Undisputed Championship scene was FULL of depth with superstars such as Stone Cold, The Rock, HHH, HBK, Taker, Kurt Angle, Benoit, Jericho, Hogan, Sting, Goldberg, Big Show, Kane, and Lesnar all being involved in major fueds over the Title. I introduced The Elimination Chamber at KotR 2002, MitB Ladder Match at WM 19, War Games at SummerSlam 2003, and every PPV card was stacked top to bottom, every one at a five hour running time. Currently re-building my 2002 save (January up to August 2002 so far) at a slower pace, not introducing many people yet, trying to go for a more slow burn, inter-weaving some ambitious storylines that won't conclude until WM 20.

Zero Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 I really enjoyed my 93/4-2015 game. I haven't played it since November when I pretty much started my second ever save on TEW 2015 (my 87-90 game) I really enjoyed it because I did a lot of modding as the game went on to make it interesting. Brought in default guys and federations and that made it really fun and interesting. The day by day though was going too slow so I stopped playing. Hoping TEW 2016 will give me the same joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That type of time period is my fave. 2002-2006ish was the last GOOD period for WWE. 2007-2011 was watchable but since then its been absolute garbage. I haven't watched a FULL show (including PPV's) since 'Mania 31 and the last show before that was sometime during 2011. I love the TALENT out there atm but the storylines and booking is HORRENDOUS. I got back into my WWE 2006 (started 2004) and my god is it the shit, it's so much fun. I miss the good old days of wrestling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AfRoMaN36 Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 <p>My current 2013-2016 save running the WWE. It's the longest ongoing save that I've ever had and I plan on tweeking that database to reflect how I left it off so I can pick it up again with TEW 16.</p><p> </p><p> Easily my biggest achievement in this save is legitimizing women wrestling. I have a 3rd brand called Heat made up entirely of divas. It took three years of building unknown indy talent and molding established WWE divas, but I've finally gotten them to the point popularity wise where they are equal to the men. </p><p> </p><p> Other than that I have a huge roster of over a hundred wrestlers. I have 12 championships (4 per brand), not even counting annual awards. It would seem hypothetically daunting for someone to just walk into such a massive save, but everything has a purpose in that game. Everyone has a role and everything is meticulously planned out. I have that game looking exactly the way I want it to be with stars I think should be pushed. I'm really proud of my work.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
