maudlin career Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I know EWR used to have what we all called BDS(Bad-Day-Syndrome). Basically, no matter how well of a card you put together, and how well the match quality was, the overall quality just isn't there. I'm not sure if the newer Ryland games work that way, but I feel like I've had that happen with a couple of my GLORY events. Perhaps the same could be said for you.

I think the problem is that when you hit International, the fans seem to expect a massively dramatic jump in show quality. It's no wonder GAMMA and ALPHA-1 are unable to sustain International as well. Have you ever managed to gain popularity at International? I can't seem to do it, and the AI can't seem to do it either.

I have read where people have said that they have done it. That being said I personally have never done it. That is why I like WMMA 1 slightly better than WMMA 2, I mean yes WMMA 1 was easy to play but I enjoyed making my company number one and staying there. Not going back and fourth from International to National. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all I have to say about this crap. I have just about had it with not being able to produce any "acceptable" matches. A couple of my people gain loads of popularity too quickly, becoming too expensive to keep on the roster, but not enough people become popular enough to continue rising without hiring overly expensive people from other companies. It is like there is no way to win. This show was an absolute disaster and has set us way back and deep into debt once more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamGoddessLindsey Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 I don't know what to do anymore. I'm honestly on the verge of giving up on WMMA2. For UFC Fight Night 7, the main event was considered "good", the co-main event was considered "good", and both undercard matches were considered "popular", and every match on the card rated "Great", but I still got a "Poor" rating. Makes no sense whatsoever, and cost me a full 13 popularity points in America. Another thing I hate is that people in the same fight camp refuse to fight each other, which is stupid. About ten people on my roster all decided to join the same training camp, including all of my top Middleweights, meaning I can't put on a good Middleweight match now without the title being on the line (which is every four months because of the long recovery periods). It makes no sense. Makes no sense whatsoever. This game makes no sense. I'm having trouble playing it because everything is so random. No matter how good you play it, you always lose. The AI seems to play by a completely different set of rules, too, because they never lose more than a little popularity, and always gain a crapton of money, two things a player can't do. I'm getting a little sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CQI13 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Good job so far on this. The ups-and-downs have provided much humor to me (as a reader) but I'm sure that once I encounter the same thing it won't be as much fun. By the way, did you add the 175 through the editor, before the game? I can't imagine how long (and expensive the signing bonuses would get) doing it legit.

By the way, did you add the 175 through the editor, before the game? I can't imagine how long (and expensive the signing bonuses would get) doing it legit. I actually hired the initial 175 during the game legitimately. It took absolutely forever. I was spending literally hours searching for fighters and then signing them. It took almost all of my initial $500,000 to sign them all. I am really shocked to have made it this far to be perfectly honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
