TLCJR4LIFE Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 <p>You are probably right to an extent.</p><p> </p><p> I have, myself run fights with guys with high reputation on the undercard that were unknown to get them more popular...it doesn't lower it that much but if you are going for the best show possible I would still use prelims....I also think TV prelims are pretty good. I've done a local tournament in Japan with Unemployed fighters on TV and after 2 prelims and one undercard win the finalist was High Level National. TV gets you more popular in general than PPV.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that TV gets you more popular, but raising someone from unknown to high level national in 3 fights is insane, especially through prelims. Were you high level international at the time?</p><p> </p><p> The first fight should just get them up to 15% Low regional. Second might get them them to Low national, but getting from there to high level seems quite strong.</p><p> </p><p> Or was it a one-night tournament? Because they are quite overpowered. If I play games with tournaments and the winner already fought once, you get insane popularity bonuses for some reason, down to the level the person who won is contender material after just one night of fighting. Haven't held one in a year or something so it could've been patched.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 <p>Just wondering whether someone encountered a standing guillotine since the patch. The last thing I'll do is wish for it to be back the way it was, but (after 100+ simulated fights) it seems Adam just deleted the move, which would be a pity. It does happen in real life. The problem is that it rarely 'works', whereas in the game it worked 85% of the time (in my cases). It's more of a control position.</p><p> </p><p> Anyone had it happen recently?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't click with me before.</p><p> </p><p> (If I wasn't clear enough before, the option doesn't give you any influence over AI matchmaking. It's just about which matches from AI promotions will actually come up for you to watch. If you go with "All Matches", then you'll be able to watch (or skip through) every fight from the AI promotions, the same way you watch or skip through your own. The AI still does its own matchmaking.)</p><p> </p><p> As for how you watch the fights, it will happen automatically when you skip to the next day, the same way you watch your own cards. If there's an AI card on the same night as one of yours, it will automatically go to it after you get through your own.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iverbure Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 oh that makes sense. i thought you could tell the company which fights you wanted to see like set up your champion vs this prospect or whatever kinda thing. thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iverbure Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 what control do you get over a company when you take it over? i'd like to purchase another company to send my 18, 19 and 20 year olds to develop before bringing them up but i don't think you can do that. what im asking if can i control and be the match maker for two companies not just one.

At the moment your best bet is to keep refreshing when they book their shows until they book the fighter. Eventually they should do just that.

iverbure Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 So i tried to resign Nathan Chambers and he demanded 5x more ppv cut and also expected his medical bills to be paid for at a much higher % than anyone else i've ever signed. so i've got him signed for 31 more months how long does it take for him to cool off so i can resign him and not waste his prime years. Could i just contact him every month or will trying to contact him to negotatie piss him off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iverbure Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 <p>does anyone have any tips for simming months or years at a time? i started a new save just to see what the future is like and i wanted to see 5 years in advance, i started unemployed. and fast advanced a year. well it wasn't that fast. i didn't have my labtop plugged in and the battery died after an hour of simming and it still wasn't done. </p><p> </p><p> i thought about starting a game in say 2002 era but than you don't get the 5 year history of what happened i don't think.</p><p> </p><p> whats the best way to do what i want to do?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceisle Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I don't think there's any way around that. It might take a long time to sim that far (depends on your computer and the size of the database), but there's really no practical alternative if you want five years of fight history.

Blackman Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Run the game on a faster pc and just copy the save to your laptop? Quite frankly it will take some time, though on my pc (with the extended db) it doesn't take all that long imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iverbure Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Does weight of HW really matter all that much. it seems like the heaviest guys are all winning well others like James Foster are struggling. now its kinda of low sample size so i'd that i asked what others have experienced.

iverbure Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 also how do fighters respond to 1 fight deals. They're several fighters in the universe who haven't fought in 2 years and so i'd like to get them fights but if they get wins do they refuse to sign?
