Yea, I've a hard time getting into it yet; I always create a developmental territory and dumping a bunch of guys there.

I forgot about divisions being a thing; I'm not clear on how those even work.

Kind of in the same place as you. It had such a promising roster in 2013 and the 2014 expansion, and now here we are two years later and it's not really improved and you've not built any loyalty with the guys that were fun to build around. It's not the end of the world as it's an interesting challenge, but you have a lot less to build around this time with Pistol Pete retiring and a good chunk of your bright prospects peacing out in a month or two. It's not as interesting as some of the big changes many of the other promotions saw.

Are you using an actual brand split for that?

I would expect to lose both of them early unless someone figures out a way to get loyalty to kick in fairly quick. If it plays like 2013 you can expect to get poached pretty hard in your tag division too. Luckily your worst case scenario has three young future stars to build around and some experienced vets that likely won't get poached. I am looking forward to giving this a go as BCG is by far my most played promotion in 2013.

It honestly goes by faster than anything else given a lot of the Japanese feds expect long matches. It's easier for me to do a 5 or 6 match card than SWF with like 20 angles. All the 3 vs. 3 can get repetitive though, especially with no storylines. I do a lot of mix and match tag matches looking for tag team chemistry.

Oh snap Jipper's back hey buddy.

That's the case with comic book hero only.

I like ideas that are a bit outside of the box, but that being said a few more real life historical mods maybe 2001 or 2006 would be cool.

Look back in this forum and you'll see a lot of active modders previously. The player base for wmma is much smaller and younger than TEW, too, so we've never matched their modding. When wmma4 drops modding will pick up substantially.</p>

<p>I think bisping vs. Miller will be a drawn out kickboxing match. I don't see Miller getting it to the ground and I think Bisping will be just quick enough to land first most of the time. Hoping I'm wrong.</p><p> </p><p> Did anyone else notice there's only two fights booked for the tuf finale? Assuming its at least a 10 fight card you're looking at 8 more fights, almost surely coming from guys in the house. That works out to everyone in the house getting a shot at the finale! They're really going to bulkup those divisions.</p>

Edson barboza considering a move to featherweight. He's already a monster, that would be epic.

The cast for this next season of TUF is excellent. http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2011/8/22/2377416/spike-tv-cast-the-ultimate-fighter-season-14-jason-mayhem-miller-vs-bisping#storyjump

Yea, I add them as time goes on but I'm sure there are several that could be pruned at this point. Thanks.

Sorry gents. I'm not sure what happened with the file, but it looks like I accidentally deleted it when I was tinkering with my Megaupload account. I'm glad someone else re-upped it, and I hope to have an updated version out shortly.

That is an effect of the way strategy works in the game, and its my least favorite part of the game. I have a suggestion thread in the suggestion forum asking for a change, go post there for me. What is happening is that for some reason every fighter will ignore their own strategies sections at times. The most obvious problem is fighters like sonner who are all takedowns, all the time, but have weak sub defense. They will refuse to shoot or stand up from dominant position only to get blasted on their feet out of fear of getting submitted on the ground. Problem is, there are a lot of fighters like sonnen who are wreslters that aren't greta at sub d. The only way to get sonnen to shoot is to increase his submission defense, which (a) makes it impossible to replicate fighters like sonnen and (b) makes the tactics meaningless because they don't follow them. If you look closely, there are fighters who normally just shoot for takedowns come hell or high water, but you won't see much of that in the game because if a fighter thinks he doesn't have a chance for a takedown he won't even try, strategy be damned.

Plus I had more requests to add BAMMA than any other promotion since I started doing this. Please note over the years I've added and then closed 20 or so other now defunct promotions. I like the minutia of the sport, so adding BAMMA was fun for me. <img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>

<p>Thanks for the feedback. The Jon Jones thing is bizarre, as I could have sworn I just updated it. But oh well. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> M-1 is starting to look feasible. When it was just the m-1 challenge it was too hard to replicate, but now that its changed its structure somewhat I think it may get added afterall. As far as the ppv popularity that's done on purpose, I just added the copies of the providers so more than 2 orgs could get ppv contracts. I may tweak the ppv stuff soon, but that's pretty low on the list right now.</p>

Here is the latest installment in my real world mod, Modern Warriors 4. Enjoy! As always, comments are welcome. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4WIDKC10 The total number of fighters is up to 2024. The total number of active companies is at 22. We've added BAMMA to the game along with the promotions in previous versions of the game. I hadn't had a chance to really focus on popularity yet, so there will still be some holes. That is a work in progress, and I hope to get Tachi Palace Fights added as well. Edit: Sorry the link was down. New link is up.

I could not have less interest in expanding the weight classes. Having a weight class at every 2 or 3 pounds is one of many reasons boxing struggles. It makes weight classes and titles less meaningful, will create shallow divisions which will in turn increase catchweight fights, etc. Chopping up the weight classes didn't work for EliteXC, and I hope the UFC never does it.

I agree, although I think his lapses were more mental than anything. With his speed I think Gomi will have a hard time hitting him, but then again I didn't think Barboza would have as much trouble with Njokuani as he did.

Reportedly Gomi vs. Barboza is in the works for UFC Rio. I honestly never thought about matching those two up, but I LOVE this fight. Barboza is probably my favorite of the young guys, and he and Gomi would have a firefight much like he Njokuani did.

I'm way pumped for this one. Disagree with two of your picks though. I'm afraid Crusher folds under the bright lights again, especially after coming off such a big win. Melendez is a much tougher fight than Thomson and I think he kick boxes his way to a decision. I just don't see Jardine beating Mousasi, but I hope I'm wrong. I think Daley is going to look great against Diaz early but make the mistake of following Diaz to the ground or getting tripped for a tie up. I see him going to sleep in this one. And I think Aoki ties Fancy Pants into knots. I'm really excited about that fight but am a little worried it will turn out like Ribeiro-Aoki where it's just bad kickboxing most of the time. I want to see these guys ROLL.

Brilz would be a great fight for him. He doesn't have the accolades but definitely has translated wrestling to MMA well. I hope they give Davis another year to develop before really throwing him in the fire. He looked passable against Little Nog but he's going to have to learn to box and set up his takedowns before he really dominates in that division.

He's got pretty good wrestling and some power. I like him alot, and his fight with Struve is one of my favorites in recent memory. That said, I just find McCorkle irritating and would rather he lose.
