ShaunGBD Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 If your a small company Bill Brown will own everyone.. All those guys he just name, will become beast.. I like: Charlie Oakley Oleg Dorosklov (not young, but cheap) Ronnie Allen Teller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All depends on destiny in your game. Delroy Rhodes is on a 9-fight losing streak in my game, so prospects can be derailed by bad destiny. But my suggestions to look at are: Isaiah Monroe Toby Sorkin Louis De La Torre Gladstone Lopes Valentin Taneyev Rafael Van Der Moot Murilho Satinho Hans Christian Bloch Yoshiro Makamori Stian Agderstein Matti Kurri Nate McReary Ozzy Bintley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr T Jobs To Me Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Delroy Rhodes is a complete can. 1234 has an excellent list there, I employ almost all those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Delroy Rhodes is a complete can. 1234 has an excellent list there, I employ almost all those guys. I employ them all Few More to add, although these ones are less likely to be elite fighters: Danny Akabaro - Not the most exciting fighter but gets the job done against lesser opponents. Emil Karlsson - Could turn out really well, and Menace means he can be a good draw if he strings some wins together. Heiko Pander - At 24 he is a great fighter, but unable to challenge the elite at the minute. That could change as he peaks though. Jakuchu Abe - Was phenomenal in ALPHA-1, only loss coming to Huang. Looks like a good prospect but not sure yet. About to give him some bigger fights to test him out. Lamont Banner - Needs a lot of work on his ground game, but has phenomenal boxing. Cant wait to see how he develops. Vjekoslav Sarich - Not the youngest "prospect" but is an exciting fighter who can cause most opponents trouble.

ovoj Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Allen LeFleur Can't believe he hasn't been mentioned. He's turning out to be an absolute beast. Ranked no 6 LHW and just 22. On an 11 fight win streak. And definitely getting a title push. His wrestling, take downs, ground control and technique are all excellent. His stand up is pretty average but if he takes u down, u stay down. Isaiah monroe Matthewe michael kirby Ozzy bintley Lamont banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InsatiableInsanity Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Manoel Cabral and Nilton Fantoni are guys I go to regularly. They can burn through most fighters up to the elite guys. There are a couple of Japanese guys worth a go too. Kadanomaro Deguchi is still quality. Dag Krueger, Hans Christian Bloch and Valentin Taneyev are good European fighters. I actually find there are more excellent young Light Heavyweights than any other division - which is probably fairly true in real life, given that's the most competitive weight class in reality.

Calinks Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thump Monroe is definitely really good. Sylvester Collins in WMMA2 was awesome and then we he got into his 30's he started developing a jiu jitsu game. It was crazy, he would bust out triangles and win. Now in my game it looks like he is going down that same path. Alegandro Lagurea and Easton Frye are both beasts for me. Markus Waller and Gideon Navaro have been very very good as well.

Isaiah monroe Matthewe michael kirby Ozzy bintley Lamont banner LeFleur got to within one match of a title shot and completely fell apart for me. Since he was so young, I let him go elsewhere to build his record back up... In WMMA 2 he had a lot of late career success for me. Ozzy Bintley got a title shot and took Old Hassan Fezzik to an awful 5 round decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boble Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 From my GAme, which is in 2003, I'd suggest: HW: Murilho Satinho Pai Cheng Sly Twinge Taye Burnett Guyokoshoi Fujimoto LHW: Silvio Leite Toby SOrkin MArlon John Milton Fantoni Valentin Taneyev MacGregor Dare MW: Bill Brown Isiah Monroe Tadao Miyazaki Oleg Taraverdiev Atsutane Akera Danny Akabaro WW: Evan Gardner Datuk Ong Kating Sean London Gideon Navarro Evan Pizzaro Martin Cupples Garth Neill Diego Arteta LW: Benny Danare Cham Kim Huat Harald Hubner Tarcisio Dantas Bosco Curbeam Manoel Cabral Chuck Brown FW: Lamont Banner Ang Dong Yagi Yokichi Ivan Bokhour Maya Asgar Wallace Everett all still under 30 in Year 2003, and have become Top 10 or near fighters in my game.Plus should still be cheap at beginning of game, but some are very young, so consider being built careful.

Props to Gladstone. I can only backup on Gladstone, in my FLB game he won the Heavyweight title, but got injured for six months and I created a Interim Heavyweight title which Satinho won. When Gladstone was ready to return to the ring I booked a unification match. Guess who won.... Gladstone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroFalkon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 My favorite young guy at the beginning is light heavyweight William Harrison, but I'm a little biased. Back in WMMA2, I signed him to GAMMA all but randomly, and he tore up every single opponent I put in front of him. He won my LHW title for his 10th win, lost in his first defense, but went on to have a 13-1 record when I stopped playing. Now with WMMA3, I signed him again, and he's doing pretty well... but he missed a step in the sequel, currently at 6-1 with two wins not going to decision. Given that he hasn't been mentioned here, I have a feeling I may have just been lucky with him in WMMA2, and my experience this time around is more to his "true" self. Regardless, I'm protecting him as much as possible, and in general he hasn't let me down. Time will tell if I can groom him into one of my top stars like I did in WMMA2.

Wehmer Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 William Harrison is 7 - 3 - 1 for me, his three loses coming to champions, and his one draw being avenged immediately. Only 3 finishes in 8 simmed fights. He made it to #18 LHW rankings before dropping his last two fights. He's pretty good, stat-wise, but will probably be a gate keeper.

ovoj Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 William Harrison is 15-1 for me. I never played WMMA2 but I still protect him. Must be something about his name or pic. Anyway, he started off with 4 decisions and 1 TKO. He's now at 5 subs, 4 TKO's, 5 Decisions. Won the title fro Asanovic only to lose his first title defence to Yamada. Fought back to contention and is facing Katou (who KTFO'd Yamada is seconds) next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyroFalkon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Yeah, I think I signed Harrison because of the pic. I needed a light heavyweight, looked through the list of unemployed, and... I don't know. The way he was saluting and that look on his face, you can tell he's all business and is probably the type to do push-ups after the fight just because it's fun for him. Just from the pic alone, he always struck me as the "I don't talk about kicking my opponent's ass, I just do it" type, and I like those guys. Heck, I've now signed Timothy McNally for pretty much the same reason (I guess I just have a thing for guys who used to be in the armed forces), although McNally is doing pretty much nothing but losing in every fight. That's not to say I only sign serious people. In WMMA2 I went out my way to sign that one really fat dude with a pizza slice in his picture just because, you know... pizza. It was awesome, even though he dropped like a stone in every single fight. Wehmer, you nailed it when you said Harrison is probably a gatekeeper. I can't imagine him being any worse than that: anyone who beats him in my universe tends to get my notice immediately, and I start being a bit more careful. In my universe, Harrison's only loss was against Christian Mountfield, and it was a split decision at that. Christian isn't shabby either, so it's not like Harrison rolled over. Getting back to the OP, Harrison can definitely bang, and even if he's not a top star in your company, he can certainly be a good, consistent one to help your top stars out and your rookies cut their teeth on an actual challenge. He is, by far, my favorite fighter in the WMMA universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
