Cool idea man! Look forward to reading how you get on!

Got yourself a female Cro-Cop haha. I’m in BCF Jan 2009, Heavyweight champ is Lars-Gunnar Ekberg, he’s beaten pretty much everyone so might have to bring a LHW up for his next defence. Got injured for a year mid-reign so Kanezane Fujii won and defended the interim belt, but got shut out by Ekberg to a 50-45 in the undisputed fight. Light Heavyweight champ is Van Der Moot, in his second reign. He lost the belt to Fantoni, who lost it to Jericho Stewart, who Van Der Moot beat to regain it. He just defended against Joshua Hope. It’ll probably be Fabian Schar next, who is on a 5 fight winning streak. Middleweight champ is Tadao Miyazaki, he’s got about 5 defences to his name, although his last one was a controversial decision over Welterweight Gideon Navarro, who took the fight on a weeks notice. Next is the 18-0 Esteban Vega Welterweight champ is Elvis Milissis, a former struggling lightweight who was 0-2 in the company, he asked to move up & has won every fight since. He beat Navarro for the belt & has one defence against Manuel Silva. Next will either be Ollie Castle, or the winner of Martin Cupples vs Danny Rowan, depending on who fits the schedule for when Milissis is available. Lightweight champ is a Russian generated fighter with a long name, Nikiforovov or something, he just beat Helio for the belt. Featherweight champ is Makamori, he just beat Markus Waller for the belt, who dethroned long time champion Yagi Jokichi. Alejandro Laguera is next up.

I just make my own rankings on google sheets. If you don’t like google sheets could work just as well on something like notepad. Just tab out and update them after every event. Doesn’t take long & makes booking fights simpler because the in game rankings are broken. You do get penalised for giving a guy ranked too low a title shot, so if you’re actual number one contender is ranked let’s say #7 on the in game rankings, go on the editor & give him/her a boost. It’s hardly cheating if that fighter has beaten the majority of the people above them.

Think I’ll give this a go. The renders look fantastic. Would you recommend starting in 2002 or using the 2005 file? Also, what would you recommend in terms of training progression? I usually use very slow or slow but I’m just wondering if I should use normal depending on how low you set the stats of the new characters who are intended to become big stars & title contenders. thanks, looking forward to starting this. Think I might finally use GAMMA, I’ve somehow never used them.

delete the pics then? Download another facepack?

Cool idea. Look forward to seeing where you go with these. Not too sure that a pro wrestling company owned by Amazon would be behind AEW for too long, considering the amount of funds that would be available. Obviously there would be the question of “how important would wrestling be to a company like Amazon?” In terms of how much money would they be willing to invest, but if their first step is contacting someone like Stephanie McMahon, then it’s clearly a sizeable amount. I think it would be well within reason even in a realistic save for you to give yourself a sizeable budget & be aggressive in recruitment. Stephanie McMahon would not sign up to be a distant #3 in my opinion.

Massive shout out to you bro. This mod is by far the best real world one I’ve ever seen. I got put off real world mods for the longest time as the stats of the fighters were never reflective of their real life ability, which often saw some ridiculous results & champions in game, but this one is really close to mirroring the abilities of almost everyone. One change I would suggest for the next update is removing “loves to strike” from Colby Covington. I took it off and he still did plenty of striking but used his wrestling much more also, as he does irl. Leon Edwards could do with a slight buff too imo. Keep up the great work. Also, if you wanna increase the realism that but more, lower punch power by 15-20% in the fight engine maker to even out the unrealistic amount of knockouts you get in game. I also lowered rear naked choked by 15% too. Totally optional though, some people prefer the chaos haha.

I'm currently in Feb 2008 of my BCF save which started in Jan 2002. My roster has improved a lot over the last 6 years and my last event pushed me to high level international popularity, I think we were mid-regional at the start of the game. Title history below. Heavyweight - Carter Potter (5 defences vs Stafford Alois, Vic Millican, Mark Bicknell, Fritz Phipps & Aleksander Ivanov) - Matthew Michael Kirby (0 defences) (also held the LHW title at this time) - Rav Kapur (2 defences vs Aleksander Ivanov & Souleymane Ya Konan) - Murilo Satinho (0 defences) - Lars-Gunnar Ekberg (current champ) (4 defences vs Matas Fialkowska, Morgan Wakarewarewa, Kanezane Fujii & Nilton Fantoni) - Kanezane Fujii (interim) (won the interim title on short notice against a debuting Hassan Fezzik as Ekberg got injured for a year a few weeks before he was supposed to fight Fezzik at BCF 100) (yet to defend/unify, next challenger TBD) Light Heavyweight - Lenny McFadden (0 defences) - Tikhon Diev (1 defence vs Garry McSweegan) - Matthew Michael Kirby (0 defences) (won the HW title while holding the LHW belt) - Crow Leddy (1 defence) (won the interim title vs Curt Kitson, then beat Matthew Michael Kirby to become undisputed champ) - Rafael van der Moot (2 defences vs Mike Watson & Matthew Michael Kirby) - Nilton Fantoni (1 defence vs Crow Leddy) (unsuccessfully challenged Lars-Gunnar Ekberg for the HW title while LHW champ) - Jericho Stewart (current champ) (yet to defend, next challenger TBD) Middleweight - Rob Baines (4 defences vs Hans-Peter Schneider, Henning Olsen, Ginger Beaumont & Ram Phookan) - Charlie Oakley (2 defences vs. Rob Baines & Ollie Castle) - Bill Brown (0 defences) - Adam White (1 defence vs Heath Kaladaris) - Isaiah Monroe (0 defences) - Tadao Miyazaki (current champ) (2 defences vs Carlos da Guia & Neil Napier, next defence vs Ramon da Silva Ramos) Welterweight - David Webb (3 defences vs Steven Griffin, Mills Mullally & Vikram Sithalayan) - Evgeni Medtner (1 defence vs Will Kane) - Martin Cupples (0 defences) - Noach van der Cappellen (1 defence vs Evgeni Medtner) - Evan Gardner (0 defences) - Noach van der Capellen (0 defences) - Martin Cupples (0 defences) - Gideon Navarro (current champ) (yet to defend, next challenger winner of Elvis Milissis vs Manuel Silva title eliminator) Lightweight - Doug Hansen (2 defences vs Gordon Idle & Tim Oldacres) - Luis Basora (4 defences vs Rupert Lennox, Georges Nouri, Jake Keane & Fiyero Lermontov) - Sukarno (3 defences vs Luis Basora, Lubos Plasil & Luis Basora again) - Helio (current champ) (2 defences vs Manoel Cabral & Seth O'Breen, next challenger TBD by winner of Lightweight tournament) Featherweight - Snorri Gunnarsson (0 defences) - David James Diggle (0 defences) - Snorri Gunnarsson (1 defence vs Marco Bernacci) - Atep of Indonesia (0 defences) - Yagi Jokichi (4 defences vs Tomohiro Takeuchi, Rafael Tavares, Hans Christian Bloch & Lamont Banner) - Markus Waller (current champ) (yet to defend, next defence vs Yagi Jokichi in a rematch)

Strikers seem to have a massive advantage over wrestlers in the game (unless they have the “constant takedowns” trait) which seems a little unrealistic as wrestling is arguably the most important skill in real world mma.

I get what you’re saying. It’s like that for me in my BCF save. There’s about 5 guys who are miles better than everyone else in the division & they end up all fighting each other for the belt, beating everyone else. HW - Ekberg, Kapur, Ivanov, Fujii, those 4 just keep trading the title nobody else comes close LHW - Fantoni, van der Moot, Watson, Kirby & Leddy. Same as above MW - White, Monroe, Napier, Americans just own this division & these 3 keep trading the belt WW - Gardner, van der Capellen, Cupples, keep beating all the new contenders & trading the belt LW - Helio, Sukarno, Basora, Lermontov & to a lesser extent Keane. I have prospects with insane stats getting easily massacred by these guys. Helio & Sukarno have fought like 5 times now. FW - Jokichi & Banner just demolish every other contender & only lose to each other I guess it’s semi realistic but it can irritating doing constant rematches for the titles.

Yeah the Dawn of MMA mod is the best real world mod I’ve played by far. The stats are actually close to what they should be for the fighters as they come into the game world. The modern day ones really aren’t good at all stats wise, no disrespect whatsoever to the people who make them, it’s an awful lot of work they do & it’s commendable. I think a big issue is they don’t seem to decline the veteran fighters at all. So you end up with Shogun at the top of LHW, Condit is a contender at 170, Faber & Cruz are still ruling 135, absolutely crushing the likes of Yan & Sandhagen. I’ve tried playing modern day real world saves several times & the fighter stats always takes me out of it.

Is there any real world mods out there with remotely realistic stats? Carlos Condit & Nick Diaz should not be knocking out Khamzat Chimaev & Leon Edwards in 2021... I know you can edit stats yourself but the mods ive seen need an awful lot of work. You’d basically need to re-do every fighters stats.

BCF, January 2006 (started Jan 02) Heavyweight Champion - Lars-Gunnar Ekberg #1 Contender - Matas Fialkowska Previous Champion - Murillo Satinho Light Heavyweight Champion - Rafael van der Moot #1 Contender - Matthew Michael Kirby Previous Champion - Crow Leddy Middleweight Champion - Adam White #1 Contender - Isaiah Monroe Previous Champion - Bill Brown Welterweight Champion - Noach van der Capellen #1 Contender - Evan Gardner Previous Champion - Martin Cupples Lightweight Champion - Sukarno #1 Contender - Helio Previous Champion - Luis Basora Featherweight Champion - Yagi Jokichi #1 Contender - Hans Christian Bloch Previous Champion - Atep of Indonesia I have a rule where title challengers have to be on at least a 2 fight win streak. No no immediate rematches for ex champions. Only time I break that rule is if the title changes hands on a judges robbery.

Random question. Why do you list the lower ranked fighter first?

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="caspian2" data-cite="caspian2" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44604" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>On a separate note, what makes a fighter reconsider retirement?<p> </p><p> Thus far, i've only gotten excuses from them, including stuff like they don't feel they'll make an impact if they come back, or that they've achieved all they wanted to before retiring.</p><p> </p><p> Is there a specific personality / attribute /characteristic of a fighter that will increase their chances of a comeback?</p></div></blockquote><p> Their destiny & their attributes. You can see their attributes in the editor even after retirement. If they can still compete at the highest level attribute wise chances are they will come out of retirement. I got Jeff Carlton to come back at age 40 because his stats were still good. A lot of guys retire after a big decline, so they won’t come back.</p>

I only turn it on occasionally. For example Manuel Silva was refusing to fight anyone when I signed him, so I turned it on then. And as you said, champions refusing to fight deserving contenders. I do like to keep it off though mostly, as fighters turning guys down is part of the game.

Following on from this, into Dec 2003 now. Potter got past Ivanov with a TKO victory, then lost the belt to Matthew Michael Kirby who became double champ in a super fight. Kirby lost his first defence to a returning Rav Kapur. It’s back to the LHW division now for Kirby. Kapur’s first defence could come against Ivanov, who just knocked out surging contender Morgan Wakarewarewa although there’s also former champ Carter Potter vs Souleymane Ya Konan is coming up, so perhaps the winner of that will get the shot. Ya Konan has an impressive win streak with knockout wins over Ozzy Bintley & Fritz Phipps on his resume. Diev lost the belt to Kirby via brutal knockout. Kirby moved up to heavyweight to become double champ, leaving him inactive at 205. Crow Leddy, fresh off an impressive win over Valentin Taneyev, defeated the returning Curt Kitson to become interim Light Heavyweight Champion, setting up a unification fight with Kirby. Also in the division Diev rebounded from his title defeat with a win over Niko Soldo, and Mike Watson & Rafael van der Moot have joined, both winning their debuts against ranked opponents. Won’t be long until they’re in the title picture. Baines dominance didn’t last much longer, Oakley was able to win the title via split decision, then retained the belt a few months later in a rematch by unanimous decision. The 2nd title defence for Oakley will be undefeated contender Ollie Castle. Baines lost his next fight to newcomer Adam White by a 1st round submission, so it looks like his best days may be behind him now. Bill Brown, Carlos da Guia, Adam White, Neil Napier & several others are waiting in the wings in a stacked division. Webb lost the belt to Evgeni Medtner, in a one sided beat down so bad that it led to Webb taking a hiatus from MMA. Medtner won his first title defence against former champ Will Kane, in another one sided fight. Up next is Martin Cupples, who is on a winning streak & was supposed to fight Medtner in a #1 contender fight earlier but pulled out with injury. Brazilian Manuel Silva & Noach van der Cappellan are certain future title challengers, both 2-0 in BCF so far. Evan Gardner also gradually making his way up the ranks. Lightweight is an absolute shark tank. Basora has successfully defended against Rupert Lennox & Georges Nouri so far, and has Jake Keane up next. Lermontov, Sukarno, Helio, O’Breen, Hansen, Cabral & Dantas are all very dangerous potential challengers. I did a one night 4-man tournament to crown a Featherweight champion, which was won by Snorri Gunnarsson, defeating Dalglish in the final. Gunnarsson lost his first title defence to American David James Diggle. Diggle was supposed to defend against Bernacci, who is fresh off a spectacular head kick knockout of Luiz Machado, however Bernacci had to pull out with an injury, and Gunnarsson is stepping in on 2 weeks notice to get his immediate rematch. Atep of Indonesia, Yagi Jokichi & Azor Portela Nunes are all looking very dangerous

He’s also Swiss so I figured he was haha.</p>

Is Fabian Schar intentionally named after the footballer? Just wondering lol.

I have in house drug testing & the quality is 1% so should be good haha

He’s 8-2, ranked 12 & facing Reynolds Baer next.

BCF, early 2003 so just over a year in. Carter Potter is heavyweight champion, has been pretty dominant against Fritz Phipps & Mark Bicknell, but has his toughest test coming up against Aleksander Ivanov. Ozzy Bintley & Morgan Wakarewarewa are rising the ranks fast. Tikhon Diev is on a tear at LHW, dominating McFadden to win the belt then smashing McSweegan (who got the shot after a shock win over Niko Soldo) He’s got Kirby next which he should win, but has Valentin Taneyev & a rebounded Niko Soldo to contend with soon. Interesting times. Rob Baines is dominating middleweight. First round submission finishes of Henning Olsen, Ginger Beaumont & Ram Phookan have set him apart from the rest of the division. Charlie Oakley is up next, in what will probably be another first round submission. American’s Bill Brown & Wes Hersch are looking like future threats. David Webb is still champ at Welterweight, although only just. After beating Steve Griffin & Mills Mullally fairly comfortably he got past Vikram Sithalayan on a split decision, in what has to be considered a robbery. (Commentary gave Sithalayan 4 rounds) up next for Webb is the winner of a title eliminator between Evgeni Medtner & Martin Cupples. Luis Basora is the newly crowned Lightweight Champ, getting a first round RNC win over Doug Hansen. Up next for Basora is Rupert Lennox, with Georges Nouri & Tim Oldacres also in title contention. Former champ Hansen is looking to get back on track against Patrik Pederson.

Hi Just wondering if anyone can recommend the database with the most realistic stats for fighters? I've played with a few databases where guys like Marc Diakese and Vicente Luque dominate and Khabib and Usman struggle, just kinda ruins the experiance for me. Thanks.

Awesome. I loved the Vale Tudo to MMA mod. One question though. In that mod some companies never started, like WEC and Jungle Fight for example. They were supposed to become active in 2001 and 2003 but in the editor it's changed to 3001 and 3003 for some reason. Is that fixed in this mod? Thanks for the great work.

Weird one, I barely had any drug test fails for the first few years of game, maybe 4 a year or so, now I'm getting one after every show. Any reason for this? I haven't changed anything in the settings, I think random incident rate is set at medium, whatever the default is anyway. I don't mind Jones failing but when guys like Conor McGregor and Colby Covington start failing for PEDs it just feels dumb and unrealistc.
