Gungner

I'll keep you posted if you really wanna hear about it Gonna watch episode 20 now!

How I wish there was a slider at the top or bottom that would move all the sliders when offering the bonus side of the contract. Having to do them one by one can get quite tedious.

You're very welcome... I really wanna do something similar, but I just can't get to terms with GAMMA and Alpha-1 stealing my workers every week But I've started again with my own low-level regional promotion. I have the biggest roster I think I've ever had. But gotta be prepared to lose a lot of them, so I need some to still run shows. Hence the large roster. But I still don't know why GAMMA and Alpha-1 insists on taking my workers, when they only hold shows every two months.

The Introduction isn't available Other than that, great series

Hmm... okay, that's a shame. Found Shayna Baszler in my save, and went for it. Sadly, it was a no go.

Can people who wont come out of retirement change their mind later on?

The game says there's a boost when fighting in a home region. Wether that be pop or skills, I don't know. Either way, I want them.

You gotta mention some names here.</strong></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> From the top of my head, like Wang Sai from Shandong, China (Also listed as Asian Chinese ethnicity). He's not listed as hometown, when holding a show in China. Also Patricio Freire from Curitiba, Brazil (Latin-Brazilian ethnicity). Likewise not shown as hometown boy. That's the ones that springs to mind. However, they are listed as main-eventers when holding a show there, while only being main-carders otherwise.</p>

So, does a fighters hometown (or area as it is) really matter? Or is the icon just a small cosmetic feature? Also, why does several fighters like fx Chinese and Brazilian fighters not appear as being "at home" when holding a show in China or Brazil?

Yes, it's frustrating when GAMMA or Alpha-1 steals your workers... But, dude, that's realistic. I started with my own company and made it to 2009. Started as low-level regional, ended as high level national. However, I had a major roster turnover, do to GAMMA and Alpha-1 handpicking my popular guys. I didn't create championships until I could sign exclusive contracts, otherwise I'd lose my champions all the time. Yes it can be frustrating, but that's the point of the game. It mirrors reality where UFC handpicks the talent they want.

Yeah, if he tests positive, he's stripped of the title, no doubt. I just found it kinda funny that my champ refused to face anyone... So he was stripped too.

I was just wondering what your pain-threshold was for your champs? Personally, I strip my champions if they're out injured or suspended for a long period (like a year or so). I also had a champion (Lightweight I think it was) who flat out refused to face anyone else in the division as they weren't popular enough. I gave them time to grow by giving them fights, but six months later, he still flat out refused, even though they were ranked fighters and valued as main-carders. So I stripped his behind of the title, and now the "undercard" is fighting for it.

What's the Credibility penalty (ie. how big is it) if I don't do drug testing in unregulated areas? Likewise, what's the penalty for using a suspended fighter in said area?

I've just started a save with ONE FC, which is a little out of my normal comfort zone, but I'm really looking forward to it... Gone on a hiring spree to bolster the roster (as I always like to book at least 4 shows in advance).

Can a show's rating's be enhanced by a good announce team?

Like I said in the small questions thread: Because he doesn't want to fight him. You have to get him more over.

Sounds interesting. I'd watch. I've watched several WMMA5 streams on youtube, and should you start one, I'd definately give it a chance.

There's a few of those... gets updated monthly / yearly. Can you tell me the month and year the DB starts?

These are awesome! I've been wanting to do a "Road to glory" of sorts with a "fake" company. Don't hesitate to post if you have more!

Regens do appear. But you can "force" new fighters to enter the game world, by going into game options and then clicking "Populate Fighters".

Yeah. Seems like I should just ignore rankings and book however I want. I'm gonna get penalized anyways.

But if my #1 ranked fighter is set for prelims, then what's the point of having him as contender, if I'm going to get penalized for having fight for the title in the main-event, even if he is the best fighter? I mean, he IS the number ranked guy. Same if I use my #7 ranked fighter who is main-event potential, then I'll get penalized for using an undeserving challenger.
