Gungner

I know there are regions where you can't hold shows, as MMA is illegal there. My question is, is it possible for the public perception to up during a save, so much that it eventually becomes legal?

*Never mind. Tried deleting the post, but couldn't*

I once played as my own company in the C-Verse, and got most of my workers stolen by GAMMA and Alpha-1. But once I was big enough to sign exclusive deals, I made sure to sign every single one of my fighters to exclusive deals 😁 ... But one fighter got stolen by GAMMA, then cut after his first and only fight for them. That was a quick welcome back.

UFC is cutting 3-5 fighters after each show, a lot of them after a single loss. I like that I can sign more popular fighters, but at some point UFC has got to replace them with less popular fighters, surely damaging their reputation.</p>

Hmmm... I'm playing as Bellator at the moment, and UFC is cutting a ridiculously amount of talent after a single loss. It's hard not to sign those guys, so naturally, I sign them.

I'm also kinda interested in knowing if any of you have set any rules for yourself when playing? For me, I always use the "No title fight in your debut"... Even if the fighter starts off at #1 or #2. I also use the "No immediate rematch if you lose your title"... After losing a title, the fighter needs to notch up two straight wins to come in contention again...

Yeah, that does get quite tedious. Especially if you have one broadcaster per country / region.

Yeah, I had my #1 ranked flyweight lose in the first round

Yeah, I guess it depends on wether or not you want it to be a long drawn out process. If you start a tournament, a new champ most likely won't be crowned until 9-12 months later.

I approve of this! Would love to set my prelims to UFC Fight Pass and the Main Card on PPV.

Was just wondering: If you guys introduce a new title, how do you normally crown your first champion? Do you take #1 vs #2 in a title match, or do you create a tournament for it?

As the title suggests, I'd love to be able to save my shortlist and import it into a different save file... or just load it up when I start over with the same promotion.

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.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> Yeah, there's nothing more annyoing when a champion refuse to fight a contender that has fought his way up the ranks. That's when I use fantasy booking. In my world, it's defend the title or get stripped of it... But I'd rather see it defended, so I turn it on for that. And sometimes if I find it a little too ridicolous, like you saud, some refusing to basically fight anyone.</p>

Do you guys ever turn on Fantasy booking? Personally, I always turn it on for my PPV's only, as I don't want my champions refusing to defend their titles against the #1 contender. So was just wondering if there were times where you thought "screw this, this is not realistic for him to refuse this fight, I'm turning on Fantasy booking for this event only"?

Does putting a hometown fighter on the card give a hidden bonus to a match, or is it purely cosmetic?

Any chance of getting a link to the pic packs from your earlier mods?

Thanks man!

<p>I can't speak for my average pop (can't calculate that well), but my pop in USA is 80. My shows has always scored a higher rating than what my popularity was, which was 80 at it's highest and current state. My last show, which got a 95 rating, saw a 2.00 buyrate, which is a drop from 2.67 for the first ppv. It seems really harsh.</p><p> </p><p> Maybe it's just me, but I can't see why a show rated 91 would cause a drop in buy-rate for the next PPV.</p>

<p>So... My PPV's buy-rate is declining fast, and I just can't figure out why...</p><p> I've held 6 events, and the buy-rates (in order of first to last) has been: </p><p> 2.67, 2.47, 2.44, 2.16, 2.11, 2.00. That's a pretty drastic drop. The show ratings has been good, the lowest show rating is an 87, highest is a 95.</p><p> </p><p> The viewership of my TV-shows has only gone up from day one. </p><p> </p><p> The wrestling industry is 62 and rising, the economy is 76 and falling</p><p> </p><p> My company is International size. I really don't understand the drastic drop in buy-rates</p>

I've never gotten a 90+ rated match from a company that was not national or below. It depends on your company's size, your wrestler's abilities plus popularity. When I was playing as Impact at Cult size, I was thrilled when I got a 70+ rating.

That's fair enough... I was sort of looking to replicate the Lesnar vs Ricochet match for the WWE Championship in my promotion, but if it's gonna be a title match, I won't make it a squash match.

Thanks. I never use a squash match in title defenses, as I suspect it will tank the prestige of the title.

How would you book the perfect squash match (for the max match rating?) Ie. what road agent notes, match time and so on?
