Acidburned Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Just started a game with tap or snap 3 real world mod. Booked my first show with Rampage Vs Tito Ortiz great stuff Rampage wins as I would have liked. Before this though two things I didn't want to happen. Forrest Griffin is my favourite light heavyweight at the moment, I give him the chance to get revenge on Keith Jardine but he gets knocked out in 45 seconds. Chuck Liddel Vs Dan Henderson the winner likely to get a rematch with Rampage for the title. I really want Chuck to win he gets KO'ed int he 2nd round. Last but not least GSP Vs Matt Serra I obviously wanted GSP to thrash Serra as GSP is one of my favourites but Serra wins by submission in 4:24 of 1st round. Now all my plans have gone out the window but for some reason I really like this as you have to constantly change your ideas for match ups and stuff. Anyone else like it when things go wrong or does it annoy you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundtcake Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 I like it when guys who have become stars over the course of their existing contract lose their last fight so I don't have to pay them as much. It always softens the blow of a star losing. Sometimes it's cool when an unexpected upset occurs because it increases the diversity of the guys at the top, especially when the guy doing the upsetting is an exciting fighter so you get at least 1 more exciting fight you can make before your upsetter goes down the drain.

Hawk1665 Posted March 16, 2008 Share Posted March 16, 2008 A great example of things going wrong was my Heavyweight Grand Prix in my ISL game that's in 2002 now. 16 guys...The whole idea was to have it come down to Aleksander Ivanov, my champion and Kunimichi Kikuchi who is my #1 ranked heavyweight, and biggest draw. Kikuchi's on a seven match winning streak and the title match has been immient for some time. I thought it was a sure thing they'd make the finals. Mick Curran then proceeds to knock Ivanov out cold in the first round. Biggest upset in the history of my fed. Kikuchi fairs better, but goes out in the semi finals to Harry Milne. Milne then loses to Staffold Alois. Thankfully, the game understood that Ivanov/Kikuchi was still a super hot match, and their eventually title match was still massive. Ivanov won the title match. I learned my lesson...I'm running a Middleweight Tournament, and withheld my champion and top contender from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikey5time Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I do 16 man tourneys with all my scrubs when I'm low on contenders. The eventual winner gets a shot, and all the guys that lose in the first round probably get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSelfDestruct Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 every time one of my really good guys is leaving i book him in a match I know he'll lose, just for revenge. But sometimes it backfires, like i put Datuk (who is leaving)&6-0 vs. Fumiaki Hayashi (thank you contract edits:) ) and he won!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundtcake Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Datuk is pretty dang good if he can avoid being put on his back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horowitz Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 damn that would suck! Datuk is a beast, after starting 6-6 for me he has won 13 in a row, many of them first round ko/tko's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
