Wehmer Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 As in, how do you have your computer set out to help you with the booking in the game. I use Excel and Notepad to keep track of fighters, titles and bonuses. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Wehmer/setup1.jpg So here's how I have my stuff set up when I'm playing the game. On the left, with the title 'matches' is a notepad where I record who's fighting who on the next PPV (also have a back log of the last four or five PPV's on hand). On the right, with the title 'Late Night', I have a list of who's fighting who on either of my two television shows 'FLB In The Evening (ITE)' which is for HW, LHW and MW's, or 'FLB Esporte (E)', which is for WW, LW and my FW divisions. In the background you can see my excel spreadsheet which holds: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Wehmer/setup2.jpg My most important tool in match-making, it shows who fought when, so I don't underbook or over book any fighters. I have a different book for every division (colour coded, even!), and it has helped me heaps in deciding which fights I should put on next. http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Wehmer/setup3.jpg A list of all the title fights/defenses in my company since I took over. Further to the right is my records for WW, LW and FW. As you can see, the submission game has dominated my company for a loooong time. And finally: http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Wehmer/setup4.jpg A bit of fun, here's where I record which fighter wins which bonus. I have drop down tabs making it easier to see who has the most FOTN, KOTN, SOTN or the most combined overall. (In case you're wondering... FOTN = 6, tied between Murilo Satinho and Charles Stiles, KOTN = 7, tied between Terron Cabal, Noach Van Der Cappellen and Helio, SOTN = 11, Nilton Fantoni and overall = 14, Charles Stiles)
IWWROCKS Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 wow! my organasitational skills consists of me using the in game notepad feature to mark down the next title challangers in each division and the show they will fight. Your excel stuff is crazy cool
Benrollo Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I just use the ol' head to remember title challengers.
Goliath764 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 That is a lot of work! I usually just go the flow and use nothing.
majesty95 Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I use a spreadsheet with each fighter, their record, streak, their salary, fights remaining and fights guaranteed. I then color code the fighters for main eventers, co-main and TV. I have a cell for every month of the game and list in there when each fighter fought, who they fought and the outcome. This helps me keep organized who has fought and when. I also have them in order of their in game ranking so it helps with match making.
brashleyholland Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 I don't think I've ever even used the notepad!
Daffanka Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Keep it all in my head. Designated #1 contenders matches, prospects will be taken very careful care of until they get enough fights to have proper match ups and the majority of the jobbers/midcarders are lost in the shuffle unless I like their skills (dynamite grappler with absolutely no other skills gets soft opponents), they pull off some cool stuff (try my hardest not to cut entertaining fighters or guys who've pulled off wacky submissions), upset an established fighter or just plain go on a winning streak. I mean I know about all my fighters but for most of the lower card guys it's "Oh he's available and so is he. They're pretty close in reputation. That could be fun let's have those two fight" rather than a carefully calculated effort to make the most of my jobber geeks.
lean Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 The only other thing I have open during gameplay is veetle cuz so I can watch tv shows while I play.

Personally, I think the game does a fine job of keeping most of that information for me. Now in WMMA2, I'd have a spreadsheet with the fighter's last fight dates. Now though, I think the rankings, and history tabs are resources that save me from opening Open Office Spreadsheet ever again. And I can't say I miss the data entry all that much.
ovoj Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Oh wow. That's some serz control going on. I only use the windows stickypad. And that's just to sort out match requests I feel are worthy or in case I wann transfer people or call them up from companies I own. (As an aside, wouldn't it be GREAT if we could do that from the fighter profiles as well as changing weight classes? Hmmm, just a thought). In terms of personnell I keep fighters who's fight performances are over 70, regardless of how many they've dropped (jens Halle once had 4 Fantastic matches in a row). Also, as I'm at Low Lvl intl, I don't cut fighters above Mid Lvl Nat. But from the match scree (rankings, view match history) its pretty easy to know what fights to book and who the next challenger should be.
jesterx7769 Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 That is effin crazy, I don't use anything but my basic system. 6 weight classes (FW-HW) 12 fights a show, two from each class One fight features people coming off wins, other fight features people coming off losses 2 PPV's per month Each is headlined by a title fight, so titles are defended every 3 months Contenders are decided by just who is ranked #2 in that division which usually decided by winning a top 5 vs top 5 match in their prior fight One TV Show per month to fit in the rest i.e. if there are alot of WW's that aren't booked And thats my simple/scientific method
