nrallen Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I found this game had too many annoying errors and limitations and gave my licence away a long time ago. I'm just wondering when the sequel is scheduled for released? Also, will it have a real play-by-play, dark matches on tv/ppv and worthwhile contract negotiations? Those were the things that annoyed me about the current game and when I was told they couldn't be implemented through updates I gave up on WMMA.

rjhabeeb Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 what exactly are you looking for?? this game has play by play(its not great but its there) it has the ability to book a full card therefore you have undercard fights(why the need for "dark matches") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie1989 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 A long while yet. I keep coming back to it, I've even started games with random scenarios. I might throw them up in the mods section when I can be arsed uploading them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark matches would be to help build up the fighters careers without their fight affecting an events rating. That way you can book two boring fighters without having them bring your event's rating down. I would actually love this idea so I don't have to keep Australia as a "poor" rating area to build my up-and-comers and the UK as a "mediocre" rating area to build my rising stars.

Michael Wayne Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Adam's working on TEW 08 now. If Adam doesn't make another WreSpi game, then WMMA would be the next thing for sure. Typically though, Adam likes to take some time off before coding another game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where as in a real situation you wouldn't televise them, they'd be something extra for those in attendance. There were many suggestions about this back when the game was new. As for play-by-play, what the game currently provides is simply a post-fight review. A play-by-play is what you get in the Championship Manager games on the PC. It describes what is happening as it unfolds. There is no drama or excitement in just reading what has already happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it were to go ahead it wouldn't be until late '08 at the very earliest given that I'm still working on TEW08 through June.

nrallen Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Thanks Adam, I will give TEW 08 a demo. I think it would be a shame not to update the game, it has the foundations of becoming something much better. My main suggestions are above and had previously been posted in the relevant forum; however, it appears many old posts in the WMMA forum have since vanished. I think that each character should just have a frontal pic. This would make it easier to create more and for them to be similar in quality. Also, might leave room to fit more info on the character's page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Tricky Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I'm looking forward to a sequel already too, I'm still enjoying the first one, but that was just the first try, and Adam Ryland wouldn't have to build a whole engine just like the new wrestling game I don't really know a lot about wrestling so I'm not sure I could play the new wrestling game.

nrallen Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 I know MMA has an undercard/prelims but dark matches are just the same thing as prelims - they are non-televised fights. It's usually just the main event(s) and the main card that is televised, therefore, undercard/prelim fights shouldn't impact a PPV or TV show. Do the TV shows have a lower expectation than PPVs and live events? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Yes, TV has lower expectations. As a UFC level promotion with some of the biggest free agent stars in the game, I'm finding it difficult to put a string of PPV's together where my popularity grows more than it lessens. Television, on the other hand... I could put five fights with extremely low interest ratings on and still seem to gain popularity everywhere.

Capelli King Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have to say that although this was the first attempt on the game, i still enjoyed it more than TEW and that says allot as i love that game. If there was a choice between Wrespi and WMMA i would choose the later easilly. A Wrespi version of WMMA would be an option, but i still would prefer a sequel to this game.

WMMA Spirit>Wrespi. Man, I DESPISE Wrespi... what's the point? The concept doesn't work for a fake sport, man. Hope there's another WMMA soon though, Adam. You'd have my money on that for sure. I actually enjoy WMMA slightly more than TEW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While WreSpi wasn't perfect I wouldn't say I could DESPISE a game unless it was the biggest waste of money ever, and I never felt I wasted my time or money playing WreSpi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
