Your Preferred Promotion?

[ash1983]

I couldnt really decide which one I preferred the most so im just going through and playing the game as diff feds so i have about 6-7 save games.

on the plus side if i get fed up with booking sports entertainment i can flick to a traditional or lucha fed.

just wondering if any of you just stick with one or how you kinda get the most outta the game so you dont just get bored at some point

[Master Gilmore]

I try to do a lot of different feds, but I mostly stick to SWF.

[hrdcoresidebrns]

I generally tend to stick with either FCW or APW, although now that APW's product settings have changed so drastically I'm not so sure about them. In terms of the demo, I've mostly been playing RAW for the simple fact that they have a TV show, so I get to book more shows in the demo.

[shamelessposer]

SWF looks like a lot of fun this year, especially with Paul Huntingdon moving into the midcard and the addition of Captain Atomic to the roster.

The promotion I think I'm really going to enjoy this year, though, is PSW. I thought they were interesting in principle in 2008, but this year they look like something I'd actually want to play. The popularity ratings for the workers were kind of weird in 2008, in a way that made it very hard for me to figure out how to book the promotion, but now they've hit just the right "sweet spot" for a regional promotion and everything has really come together. Most of the interesting indy workers can now be slotted right into the midcard, with a few like Rayne Man and Jack Griffith going right into the main event.

I never liked TCW, but now it has me interested for some reason. I think it makes for a perfect diary that you got a fed loaded with stars, but seems to be slowly going downhill or stuck in the number two spot.

CZCW is screaming out to move onto the next level. I had it marked as the promotion that would move up to Cult, before USPW got bought out.

[Remianen]

QAW, no question.

[Sensai of Mattitude]

Was always MAW, but I'm pretty hyped about starting a TCW game tomorrow (first time I've gone with one of the biggies in CornellVerse) which I'm hoping will last me at least a good few months and probably make them my favourite.

[Infernalmiko]

I like most puro promotions, though 5SSW and Burning Hammer have tended to be my favorite.

[Wrestling Century]

I like pretty much every promotion. Except for the women's feds, I just can't get into them for some reason. :(

[HAHJRB]

I have always been partial to MAW, but since I have never (not joking) tried to book a big fed, I plan on trying to bring TCW to the top.

[Comradebot]

Well, I tend to stick with popularity based companies (sometimes dipping into the "balanced" ones)...

So... USPW, EWA, and RAW have, respectively been my favorites to play as thus far.

However, I'm starting to feel like I may not want to do a diary for any of them (even if I have the early workings of a RAW one in the mix!)

Eh, maybe I'll just enjoy playing for a while, and throw down a diary when I've got a pair of companies I know I love, and know one will make a good diary.

Thinking out loud, I know.

[Greek]

I would have to say USPW. I just love the feel of that promotion and the additions made this year make the promotion really intresting... Altough I have a hard time figuring out how I chould book Enygma :confused:

I also like NYCW and this year it seems to be even more enjoyable as Honest Frank has gotten a substancial increase in his stamina and the additions of Dean Waldorf&Marv Statler and Larry Vessey are also great. On top of this it's always a nice challenge to try and use Land Mass effectivly.

[paulskln]

my favourites are all in my favourite fed AAA... or they where until this new game when i played with the demo i couldnt believe my eyes.

Wanda Fish gone to USPW and they changed her name to Belle Bryden.
Raven Nightfall gone to USPW and they changed her name to Raven Robinson.
Farrah Hesketh gone to CGC.
Black Widow retired.
Kristabel Plum gone to NOTBPW.

so basically 4 of my favourites since i first played as AAA in tew 04 are gone.
and one of the best prospects that i could have pushed up to main event gone.

so what do i have left to play with, Catherine Quine who is 37 and will probablly retire soon enough.And Joanne Rodriguez who i can at least push as a main eventer.its gonna take a lot of work to get AAA onto tv.

[jesterx7769]

I usually play as USPW trying to build them up but this year I think I am going to play in Australia for the first time probably with RAW as I like their roster better than APW although I like the idea of trying to build APW up and over take the mainstream tv owned promotion

[WrestleManiac]

My first game will be with ROF as it always is when I buy a new TEW game. I'll probably start a ZEN game as well.

[Gigas]

2007 was USPW and 21CW. 2008 was USPW. 2010, its going to be USPW, 21CW and probably ZEN or RAW.

I may actually have to create my own small fed and have it owned by a tv company. It'll probably be easy, but fun nonetheless.

[LucianCarter]

CZCW appeals to me most style wise. And I managed to make a profit playing one month so that's something.

[GruntMark]

USPW last game.

Enjoying it so far again.

I like the combo of a talented womens division + a mostly lumbering talentless roster. With say, SWF, Im more tempted to hire the young next big superstars. But I get into USPW and try to bring in older, over, vets who still have a few decent matches in them and make it work.

[TheKenwyne]

ZEN, if you hadn't worked it out from my dynasty, followed by old NOTBPW and MAW.

[Jaded]

USPW and NOTBPW are my real loves, but ZEN is quickly pushing them close. CZCW always looks fun as well.

Fairly tempted by the new Canadian fed at some point, also.

[The Celt]

DIW, if I can get the finances to work. I'm bringing in Seeker to feud WITH EVERYONE. The entire DIW seem to have some vice he can prey on haha. DIW will probably lead to heartbreak time and again but I just can't resist a counter-culture hardcore cult promotion.

[1PWfan]

I'm an NYCW mark since '07, and whilst they're as weak as they ever were (if you get three hot prospects at the start that's a damn good showing) the company is always my first port of call. I'll probably dynastise when I get round to downloading the full version.

[bigcat]

ZEN me baby. That looks like a fun and crazy place. NYCW look interesting to try and revive and there's always MAW, my first love.

[Comradebot]

Fine, I'll make it official...

I'm EWA for life.

[Candyman]

USPW is miles ahead of everybody for me. In 08, TCW was my second favorite, but I think that was just because of The Syndicate. I think it'll be BHOTWG this year.

[TEWFan]

I have played around with pretty much every fed. I love NOTBPW right now with a DeColt on the mix. I resurrected the Unlimited Action title and made Trademark Thomas Morgan my first champ. I hired a bunch of talented lightweights like Fuhjimiro Ohta and some others and they are getting over. Also I brought in the Rock City Stars to help with my tag division and just for giggles I booked The Natural and Owen Love in a feud against each other.

ZEN is awesome. I had so many ideas for a dynasty until I figured out that I am not good at writing funny stuff and maybe my dynasty would suck. Check the editor, the workers section and look for an australian worker named Nighthawk....tell me it doesnt beg to be turned into Mirror Universe Jim Force where Force is actually a decent high flier!

USPW is great this year. I even hired The Nation of Filth and they proceeded to have a decent feud for the tag belts. I try to mix the old guys with the new kids, but I always end up hiring the old ones because I think they fit in better.

I just love the game and I am sure that between now and TEW 20XX I will play at least 6 months with every promotion.

[March]

No real preferences, but I've played a few month long games in the demo, and so far USPW has been the most appealing.

[kckid4u]

For those who like to do more than one fed, instead of having multiple saved games going at once, you may want to just do one, but have that game setup with 2 or 3 or more users and control all of them yourself. That would be a lot of work, but some of you could handle it I'm sure.

[BYU 14]

NYCW, I am looking forward to trying and build them into a more modern Fed with wider appeal beyond the Tri-State area.

[cappyboy]

I'm looking pretty hard at VWA. It looks a lot like one of my training fed games as far as talent level, pay roll and starting bank balance. Plus some of the talent intrigues me. I already have a solid idea for extending the preset "world" title storyline. I have a midcarder there I already want to make my pet project. And I have a shot to over-run a whole continent in need of a marquee promotion. Sounds like a good place to give preference to.

[Rayelek]

Now that BSC has Tamara McFly and "seems" to want to promote a little wrestling, I'm a little more intrigued. I gave them a run in the demo and really like how the game is going.

I tried RAW and loved the roster but hated the way trying to book their shows turned out. Somehow, BSC can do 40% matches and I'm okay but RAW's 50% is really tough.

The other promotion that has me a little intrigued is PSW. I think I could manage the whole "hardcore edgy" promotion this time around with the Dirt Sheet available to let me know which match types aren't "edgy" enough to help my ratings.

[TakerNGN74]

Got to stick with NOTBPW doing a dynasty with them in 08 made them my favoriote promotion and considering the fact that they have a better roster than last year (Even though I thought it would have been worse) plus a better starting ranking than 08. Those two reasons only makes me want to play as them more than in 08 even though I love them in 08 still.

[kckid4u]

I'd like to do DIW, but even with the patched version, and the fed supposed to be hardcore matches with all those hardcore crazy guys, I can't hardly find anyone who will do any thing more hardcore than a table or ladder match. Kind of makes it hard to please the fans, so I'll have to do some other promotion I guess.

[Lexa90]

USPW, enough said.
