<p>Quick question; can you save Database from a demo version of the game to the "real" version you plan on buying?</p><p> </p><p>

I am having so much fun with the demo version of TEW2k16 that I in fact plan on buying it. Just have to wait for payday. Until then I plan on messing around in the demo version for a few more days. So this question becomes pertinent because there are some things I would like to carry over onto the "real" game that are in the Demo's database. Like some of the many (dozens) of characters I made up (with much time spent). </p><p> </p><p>

Thank you,</p><p> </p><p>

What exactly are the positives / negatives of Dirty Tricks?

I'm guessing that if they're succesfull, the other company will lose pop or prestige? And vice versa, if un-succesfull, your company will take the hit?

 

Or is it something completely different?

Looks like I screwed up when creating my promotion and didn't give my PPV's any broadcast agreement. Is there anything to fix that in the editor or am I SOL without starting over?

[CharlieRock]

<p>Here is a rather complicated question; can you own a broadcaster and run other groups' shows? Like, if you were both in an alliance? </p><p> </p><p>

It would seem beneficial to you both since you can borrow some of their guys to put on your own show later on after they get built up off using your broadcaster.</p>

Thanks but less snark next time.

 

Your original question was a not clear on what you wanted. I thought it's the first time you created your own fed and didn't know about negotiating deals since you said you messed up creating your own company. So I assumed you thought deals were made during the creation process. You didn't mention that you tried negotiating deals.

 

Well, you got the answer and that's all that matters.

Thanks for the help, sometimes it's hard to tell what someone's tone is when reading their comments. When it came down to it the next time I tried to load my game the save was corrupt somehow and I had to start over anyway. First time ever.

<p>Increase TV Show length</p><p> </p><p>

Hey, i am thinking about increasing my weekly TV show from 1h to 1h 30 min, can i just do that or do the broadcasters have to agree with the length change?</p>

Seems like that would answer the question. Also, if they don't let you, just use your pre-show if you want to get guys some work.</p>

[Derek B]

The reason they don't is because the costs are assumed as part of you production and misc costs, which are already significant.

<p>Hypothetical question regarding freelancers:</p><p> </p><p>

Lets say WWE hires Colt Cabana who's working as a freelancer. With their big platform, does it hurt him going back to the indies if he was essentially a loser while at WWE? He's popular enough to get booked anywhere now, but if I book him as a loser (not buried just losing) while I have him on the biggest stage, will it hurt him once he's available again?</p>
