Chris2K Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 The World Fighting League is a concept I dreamed up whilst sitting on the toilet. This is, in fact, a true story, even if it maybe isn't the most glamourous way to begin this dynasty. I was thinking about the IFL and how it hadn't really bred the success that a team-based MMA competition could have, mainly due to the lack of star power outside of the coaches brought into to... well do nothing really. It made me wonder what kind of interest there would have been if the biggest names had taken part representing their own cities, states or countries, taking on the best opposition also fighting for their homeland. So I decided, in my infinite wisdom, to go about putting together the World Fighting League, or to shorten it to WFL to steal accidental coverage from the NFL. 50 teams have been entered, some areas are covered more than others (e.g. the California region has four teams), each containing six fighters: 1 Heavyweight, 1 Light Heavyweight, 1 Middleweight, 1 Welterweight, 1 Lightweight, 1 Featherweight I had intended to run this as a company in a game scenario, but the amount of fight cards required meant it would take far too long, meaning a lot fighters would retire very early on in the competition. As a result, all the fights will be done using the Quick Match option. The 50 teams have been divided into 5 Leagues of 10. When each team has played the other one (total of 9 games per team) the team that wins the league will qualify for the Champion's League, where the Top 5 teams fight each other with the goal of becoming the Grand Champion. Scoring points in the league is as follows: All Matches are 6 Fights: Win Match - 10 Points Draw Match - 5 Points Lose Match - 0 Points If teams are tied on points then the number of fights won will be used as a decider. The teams themselves have been created to try and use as many localised fighters as possible, however they have also all been regulated to keep them balanced, meaning that some teams such as Brazil have been limited to avoid having a strong team dominate the competition. Those fighters that have been removed from their home team due to regulation or do not have a home team have been allotted to other teams in a balanced way. League 1 Atlanta Vancouver Las Vegas Berlin San Antonio Tennessee Amsterdam Dublin Hawaii Los Angeles League 2 Chicago Korea Mexico Seattle Philadelphia San Francisco Boston Indianapolis Rome Alberquerque League 3 Brazil San Diego Dallas Paris Iowa Tokyo Phoenix Ohio Montreal Virginia League 4 Wisconsin London Detroit New York Australia Oregon Carolina Oklahoma Russia Stockton League 5 Houston Pittsburgh Denver Miami Croatia Louisiana Toronto New Jersey Europe Minnesota The best way to show how it works is to get going with the first match, which will be... LEAGUE ONE ATLANTA VS.

Blackman Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Lol. I actually also thought up most of my new concepts for WMMA games on the frickin' toilet. Good idea this one! I myself tried to get a good idea for a league, though mine was with a minor roster and handpicked teams according to skill, background etc. Eager to see how it turns out here!

edvis500 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Is this a scenario or you will use quick fights? If it is a scenario can you upload it? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted July 23, 2011 Author Share Posted July 23, 2011 It's just quick fights on the MW4 database I'm afraid, I got halfway through sorting out contracts and lost patience! First show is below, but a quick warning: If you don't normally read matches I would advise you to make sure to read the main event, it's a hell of a fight! MATCH #1 LEAGUE 1 ATLANTA vs. LOS ANGELES ---------------------------------- Lightweight Fight ATLANTA - Cole Miller vs. Evan Dunham - LOS ANGELES It's Miller who gets the first takedown of the fight, dropping an unsuspecting Dunham to the mat with a single leg takedown. Despite being on the bottom it is Dunham who is more active of the two, constantly looking to get hold a submission from the guard, leaving Miller with no option but to sit tight and not give Dunham any opportunities. After a long time spent on the ground with nothing much happening the referee stands them up, but Dunham soon gets a takedown shortly before the end of the first round. There's not much striking going on in the fight as both fighters look for position rather than damaging their opponent. Dunham gets another takedown with a leg sweep from the clinch, and the remainder of the second round takes place on the ground. Miller does a good job of turning an attempted kimura by Dunham into a sweep to get side control, but neither fighter seems capable of getting their opponent into a dangerous position with their ground skills cancelling each other out. The third round begins with Miller being a bit more aggressive, looking to connect with a few more strikes including a head kick, but again it's not long before both fighters are looking to take the fight back to the ground. It's Miller who is finally the man who gets the top position, but once more when the fight hits the mat the action is very lacking. Dunham tries a desperate attempt at a leglock, but that doesn't go anywhere, and time fritters away with nothing of interest happening. The judges ended up scoring the fight 29-28 across the board, giving the first point of the night to.... Evan Dunham and Los Angeles! Winner: Evan Dunham (LA) via Unanimous Decision Rating: Poor ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 0-1 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ Welterweight Fight ATLANTA - Rick Hawn vs. Anthony Johnson - LOS ANGELES Johnson immediately uses his strength and weight advantage to get hold of Hawn and back him up against the cage in the clinch. Johnson unleashes a barrage of hard knees to the thighs of Hawn, who struggles as much as possible to get free, but is unable to do so until Johnson himself backs away to give the fighters some seperation. Johnson then connects with a good jab, before landing a barrage of hard punches to the head and body of Hawn that backs him up against the cage. Johnson lands a hard right hand that knocks Hawn down, then begins unleashing some vicious ground and pound until the referee steps in and calls a stop to the fight! Johnson gives LA a 2-0 lead in the match with a superb TKO victory. Winner: Anthony Johnson (LA) via TKO (Strikes) - 2:23 of Round 1 Rating: Great ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 0-2 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ Heavyweight Fight ATLANTA - Todd Duffee vs. Roy Nelson - LOS ANGELES Duffee comes out looking to box from a distance and stop Nelson from getting in close to utilise his wrestling, and it's a tactic that pays off early on as Duffee lands a good number of jabs before getting out of reach. When Nelson does move in and look for takedowns Duffee is able to get back out of harm's way and stuff the takedown attempts, not an easy prospect considering the weight difference between the two. Duffee is somehow able to get Nelson up against the cage and lands some hard knees to the thigh, before Nelson reverses the position only to run out of time in the round. Nelson starts Round 2 with some decent counter punching, but both men are tired and are struggling to do anything with any real impact. Nelson lunges in for a couple more takedown attempts but Duffee sees them coming and keeps the fight standing. After a horrible second round we at least get some more action in the third, Nelson starting things off with a hard kick to the ribs, but a second kick is avoided by Duffee who lands a hard straight right hand that sends Nelson back-pedaling to the cage. Duffee grabs hold of Nelson and lands some hard uppercuts that drops Nelson to his knees. Duffee keeps pounding away until the referee decides he's seen enough, giving Duffee the TKO victory and Atlanta their first point on the board! Winner: Todd Duffee (ATL) via TKO (Strikes) - 1:39 of Round 3 Rating: Good ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 1-2 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ Featherweight Fight ATLANTA - Raphael Assuncao vs. Urijah Faber - LOS ANGELES Faber uses some quick hand-speed to land some jabs early on in the round, before shooting in and securing a single leg takedown to get Assuncao to the mat. Assuncao pulls guard but Faber looks to land some simple strikes anyway, whilst also controlling Assuncao by shifting his weight forward. The fighters stall for a bit on the ground and nothing much happens, time simply passing by until the round ends. Faber shoots in for another takedown to start Round 2, but this time Assuncao is able to block him. Unable to get the fight to the ground, Faber decides to instead go for a Muay Thai clinch. He lands some good elbows and a knee before Assuncao is able to break free, but Faber catches Assuncao with a good combination, finishing it off with a solid right hand. Faber goes for another takedown at the end of the round, but Assuncao stuffs it. The third round begins with Faber getting caught by a stinging jab, but he soon connects with a spectacular spinning back fist that sends Assuncao down to the mat! Faber hits the ground too and gets the mount, immediately looking for an armbar, however Assuncao shows good defensive grappling skills to stack him up and take side control, however he opts to stand up straight away and fight on his feet. After the excitement of the early parts of the round the remainder of it fails to reach anywhere close, Assuncao not committing to anything despite needing a finish to win, and Faber happy to keep him at a distance. The fight ends up going to the judges and the scores end up 30-27 across the board for Urijah Faber, giving him the win and Los Angeles a 3-1 lead. Winner: Urijah Faber (LA) via Unanimous Decision Rating: Very Poor ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 1-3 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ Middleweight Fight ATLANTA - Demian Maia vs. Cung Le - LOS ANGELES Well this fight was always going to finish with a KO or a submission. And it ended up lasting just thirty seconds with only one real move attempted. Maia dove in for a leg and grabbed a kneebar with Le still standing, although not for long as he fell to the mat. Maia cranked on the hold until Le had no choice but to tap out. A devastating loss for Le, but not one that would have surprised many people given his lack of ground skills. Winner: Demian Maia via Submission (Kneebar) - 0:30 of Round 1 Rating: Good ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 2-3 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ Light Heavyweight Fight ATLANTA - Forrest Griffin vs. Brandon Vera - LOS ANGELES It's an incredible start as Vera moves in straight away with a flying knee that catches Griffin on the jaw and knocks him down immediately! Vera opts to back away though and let Griffin back up, but after a brief exchange of strikes Vera connects with a hard counter right hand and knocks Griffin down for a second time! This time Vera follows him down and gets into the mount, looking to land some ground and pound as quickly as possible, however Griffin seems to have recovered his senses. Griffin uses his grappling skills to sweep Vera and take the top position, before moving past the guard and into a mount of his own. Griffin tries for an armbar but Vera stacks him up and regains the top position just before the end of the round. And what a round it was. Griffin goes for a takedown early in Round 2, however Vera does well to avoid it and land a solid right cross that seems to leave Griffin rocked! Griffin weathers the storm though and shoots in for another takedown, but Vera again manages to avoid it. Griffin moves forward but gets caught by a right hook, and he's knocked down again! Vera again lets him stand back up though, allowing Griffin to try and fail with another takedown attempt, before keeping him at a distance with jabs until the end of the round. Vera comes out and immediately knocks Griffin down for a fourth time with a hard right hand, but again Griffin recovers quickly and drags Vera into half guard when Vera leaps down to join him on the mat. Vera tries an arm triangle, not one of his more usual moves, but Griffin defends the hold and grabs a guillotine choke from the guard! Griffin uses all the strength he has remaining and secures the grip, choking Vera until he has to tap out or pass out! Vera taps and the Atlantan fans go nuts for their hometown hero, his victory securing their comeback to salvage a draw from the match at 3-3, a fight that he could have lost on four separate occasions, with Vera 20-17 ahead on the scorecards. Winner: Forrest Griffin via Submission (Guillotine Choke) - 1:20 of Round 3 Rating: Great ------------------------------------------------ ATLANTA 3-3 LOS ANGELES ------------------------------------------------ League 1 Table =1. Atlanta - 5 =1. Los Angeles - 5 =3. Amsterdam - 0 =3. Berlin - 0 =3. Dublin - 0 =3. Hawaii - 0 =3. Las Vegas - 0 =3. San Antonio - 0 =3. Tennessee - 0 =3.

diaolicalx911 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I have a couple of questions: 1st- This is a general question, but what do you mean "Quick Fights"? Is that an option in the game? Because if it is, I would like to know for my Dynasty. 2nd- So, how with the titles work out in this scenario? Will it have things like the IFL, in which they have a title scene that separate from the team scene? Or are titles a non-factor in this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tag01 Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 <p>Team Stockton, son!</p><p> </p><p> I like this idea. I haven't gotten around to it yet and am now obsessed with my Bellator diary, but my next one will involve running Dream and having a World Grand Prix every year. The first year I want to do lightweights and have eight qualifying eight-man, one-night tournaments. There would be two tournaments each in North America, South America, Europe/Russia, and Asia/Australia. The winner of each qualifying tournament would face off on an eight man, one night tournament on new years eve. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
