<p>At the end of the day, the more databases there are, the more variety there is in the game in relation to different playthroughs. I can't see a scenario in which the community would have a problem with another database, so I really hope you publish one, Dogs. I think it would be welcomed with open arms, especially if it's an improvement. And let's be honest: there's ALWAYS room for improvement with these projects. I don't think anyone can argue that.</p><p> </p><p>
Anyway, I hope to see your database in the future. And I hope Max keeps releasing his own. As I said, the more the better.</p>

I don't have a horse in this race, but there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from creating their own database with whatever statistics they feel properly represent any fighter. I would suggest before anyone criticizes anyone else's efforts that they themselves take a DIY approach and fix whatever they have problems with on their own.
I've seen time and time again where creators are made to feel beholden to the whims of a public that purchased the game. They aren't. You didn't buy the real world database; you bought the fictional database that came with the game. The only reason a real world variety exists is because people decided to take the time to create them of their own volition and FREE OF CHARGE. Please remember that.
Creating a database - especially one of the size Max has presented - is a vast undertaking. Until you've actually worked on a database, you have absolutely no idea how arduous and time consuming it is. It doesn't seem like it would be, but it's an incredible task. And it's seemingly unending; there's always SOMETHING that needs to be done, and with more and more fighters debuting every week, the work NEVER - and I mean NEVER EVER - ends. Again, please understand that.
I appreciate anyone who attempts to create these databases and provide them to the community. I also appreciate constructive praise and/or criticism, as these things can lead to better databases. But I'd also appreciate if anybody thinks they can do better, please show us. Take the time and go ahead and build a better database. I'm sure you'll get no resistance from the community, even if that means piggy-backing off of pre-existing versions. That way we all win. Until then, what you see it what you get. Your options are to take what's being offered or make improvements yourself. It really is that simple.
Just my two cents. BTW Max, thanks for taking the time to do these updates. And Dogs, thanks for striving to have improvements made. I think both are virtuous endeavors. But please realize these databases will never be perfect. Quite frankly, it's impossible. Take care.

This. I want to play but $35 is alot for a 2 year old game
I completely understand, but it's well worth the asking price. Just throwing that out there. But, hey, maybe there will be a sale around the holidays at the end of the year. Good luck.

Been super excited for this, need more mods for WMMA.</div></blockquote><p> </p><p> I was helping Suede with a few things for the mod and he's been quiet lately. I'm sure he's plugging away. This is the problem with announcing a project at all before it's finished; making these mods are extreme time-sponges and you get burned out pretty quickly from doing them. And in the meantime, people are expecting the thing and waiting as patiently as they can and you might not have been as far along as you thought you were when you announced the release date. And I can tell you from experience that making a mod takes FOREVER, because it never REALLY seems like it's ever REALLY finished. There's ALWAYS something that needs fixed or tweaked or improved. It's always SOMETHING. It becomes exhausting at times, not to mention overwhelming.</p><p> </p><p> Additionally, if you have absolutely anything at all going on "in real life" (a demanding job, social obligations, medical conditions, children, other passions, etc.) they all take away a significant amount of time you may otherwise spend on modding.</p><p> </p><p> Creating these things is no easy task, and I believe people think there's not much to it. I think a lot of people assume that creating a mod is nothing more than just assembling data together in a set location and that the game does most of the work in reading and executing that data. The problem is, that's not even remotely accurate. Like...not AT ALL.</p><p> </p><p> In short, I suppose it'll be done when it's done. Although, maybe Suede will have a different answer for you. I'm just trying to offer an honest answer based on the first-hand info I have. Take care.</p>

I'm trying to find out the weight divisions and rules of some early MMA companies. Does anybody have any suggestions where I can research this?
What companies? I have over 3500 MMA events in my fight library, a lot of which are from 1993-2000 and even some that pre-date 1993. I can consult my library to verify the rule sets and weight classes of any organization I have on file.

It can be the image itself, or it can be the image as it is shown on a web page. Press the "PrtScr" button at the top of your keyboard. It should be located next to the F12 button. This will cause your computer to save the screenshot of the screen you are currently looking at. You can then open Windows Paint and paste the image to Windows Paint. Crop the image to your liking. Save.</p><p> </p><p> JGA</p>

<p>I've been searching for the answer to this for an hour with no luck...</p><p> </p><p>
Is there a setting for my child companies to sign fighters exclusively from their own region? For instance, I want my American child company to sign only American fighters, my South American company to sign only Brazilian fighters, etc.</p><p> </p><p>
I thought it had something to do with company size but I've run some tests and even at "unknown" my child companies sign everyone and anyone they can. This is problematic because I'm trying to keep my feeder leagues contained to their own regions. It would be helpful for how I have my league format set up. Anyway, thanks for any help/advice!</p><p> </p><p>

I was thinking of trying a game where my weight classes were only about ten pounds apart except for the Heavyweights. I have two unnamed divisions I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for what to call them. I was really trying to avoid the Super title that is in boxing a lot. My divisions would look like
Heavyweight- 226-265
Light Heavyweight- 206-225
Unnamed- 196-205
Cruiserweight- 186-195
Middleweight- 176-185
Welterweight- 166-175
Unnamed- 156-165
Lightweight- 146-155
Featherweight- 136-145
Bantamweight- 126-135
Flyweight- 116-125
This was actually covered in real life last year...
