Chris2K Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 As the title suggests, I'm wondering which stat it is that alters how often the fighters make themselves available to fight? For example, Randy Couture is only available once every few months, whereas some fighters are available every month. I've looked over the stats of Couture and some of the other fighters, and I can't see anything that might affect it. Of course I could just be stupid and am missing something blatantly obvious...

jesterx7769 Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have tried to figure this out as well but couldn't find anything conclusive. My guesses would be age, popularity, reputation, and physical status i.e. those bars under the physical tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTial Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 My guess would be age as I don't really know what controls a fighter's passion for MMA. I think personality might have something to do with it but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTial Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Is the destiny stat editable? I haven't done any editing but I didn't see where you could edit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jesterx7769 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 <p>Reputation does not, it is one of the ones I have tested. I have fighters with high reputation fighting just about monthly.</p><p> </p><p> I think the biggest is the destiny since in many games it is the same people that want those 6 month breaks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tricky Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I think it's dedication or resilience, I think I can book Fezzik more often than Roberto Aldez and he has those two stats higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTial Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 <p>The destiny stat from what I gather is just what people use to explain the intangibles of a fighter. </p><p> </p><p> Every fighter in the game can have highs and lows irrelevant of their momentum thus producing a sort of destiny where guys who could go undefeated suddenly fall down just as quick or be so inconsistent early in their career and suddenly they seemed to have turned things around.</p><p> </p><p> Here's an example: In one of my games, Grzegorz Boniek was his inconsistent self and then since Fezzik defeated everyone in front of him, he was fed to Fezzik whom he finished in a major upset. Suddenly Boniek was killing the entire Alpha-1 HW division. Never got to rematch Fezzik because he retired soon after. (Fezzik was given a lame retiring fight against 6-1 Juozas Skerla)</p><p> </p><p> 2nd example: Vicki Summers was a great but not dominating Female Lightweight fighter and Sarah Vaughan went on a tear including avenging her defeat to Alison Beattie and staying undefeated until Summers finally wins her rematch with Vaughan since no one else was in front of her. </p><p> </p><p> After Summers ended defeated Vaughan's streak, Sarah retired but then Vicki starts going on a tear and replaces Sarah as the next Ultimate Female Lightweight P4P ala Hughes -> GSP.</p><p> </p><p> She was cleaning everyone's houses including girls like Kimie Igarashi that the one who broke her streak was due to a set standard contract with Alpha-1 who immediately booked her against undefeated 13-0 Romi Takahashi who was at HW.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I best relate it to the TEW games as I'm sure the hiddens are somewhat similiar i.e. how in TEW peoples pop caps and potential are predetermined and uneditable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty887 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 <p>ive played with this so much.</p><p> </p><p> what i do is take the fighter u want to fight a ton, and make him real young, and have not much reputation. if the reputation isnt an option because he is a title fighter, your a little screwed. only way ive found is to have him fight crappy fighters so he doesnt need the 50 days from fighting a star.</p><p> </p><p> also check his physical stats.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 After paying more attention to this and doing some experiments I have come up with a few things. 1) Reputation has no impact. I created some new guys in their twenties with high reputation and they fight frequently. The biggest thing reputation impacts is the interest in their fight. Two fighters with no popularity but high reputation will have a fight interest of very high. 2) Age is the biggest factor. Currently in my game Gunnar Nilson and Jeff Carlton are 34/35 and both need lots of time off despite not being injured. Same goes for a few of the other older guys. 3) Ranking might play a factor. As i just said with Carlton he needs time off and he is also my number 1 Heavyweight and Nilson is close behind. When I start BCF games McSweegan and Alois both require time off despite being somewhat younger but they are the top guys. So this one isn't positive but I think once people are ranked highly they realize they are the top dogs and can demand more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it has to do with how often they fight and their physical status... for example i had a guy who would fight every 7 days and i'd keep booking him and now its at the point where he is taking a fight every 4 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesterx7769 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 How long did this process take though? I have noticed when fighters reach the age of 33-35 they start taking the most time off. I have yet to see a 25 year old take months off withouth injury or poor physical status Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlizzardVeers Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I'm surprised no one has mentioned an obvious one. Record plays a part too. Everything about the fighter plays a part, level of skill, reputation, record, age, physical, and mental stats - a lot of things play a part in whether or not the fighter will take a long time to want to fight again. It's actually pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 How long did this process take though? I have noticed when fighters reach the age of 33-35 they start taking the most time off. I have yet to see a 25 year old take months off withouth injury or poor physical status I've seen it plenty of times. A guy will be able to work 2-3 times a month for me with a small promotion, then go to once a month, then even less then that. If you can find a person (I've been using my own edits) willing to start off fighting once a week, you'll be able to see how fast a person can change. I think record/popularity have a large factor likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briskout Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 At the beginning, I was able to use Adam White twice a month then after 5 or 6 fights, it went to once a month. After he first won the Middleweight title, he went to two months but went back to once until his most recent defence, which he needs two months off again.
