ManUnderMask Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 How do I run a tournament? There's no option I can find to start one once you set the brackets under the Tournaments tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NapoleonKhan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just saw Big Magic a second ago, made me laugh. Also Fatuma Roy looks like Mark Hunt now, plus he's also Samoan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NapoleonKhan Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 What's Big Magic? He's a new fighter, he's most likely a parody of Kimbo Slice from his look and bio, and name too really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Ryland Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 How do I run a tournament? There's no option I can find to start one once you set the brackets under the Tournaments tab. You just book the fights as normal, in whatever order you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
syndicate Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 You just book the fights as normal, in whatever order you want. I figured it was manual by the looks of it. That is a step back from WMMA 3. I am a bit disappointed to say the least by this feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebby Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 It's just like doing the final fight of a reality show. Book the tournament via the tournament feature, then book the matches in the card. It will automatically recognize that it's part of the tournament and adjust the brackets accordingly.

It's just pain in the ass to attempt to book a 32 man tournament and I just assumed it would be similar to how you booked one night tournaments in WMMA 3. four and 8 man tournaments were easy to book all you did was just select the guys. Now you have to book all the matches every single round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit disappointed to say the least by this feature. I'm sorry you don't like it. Having complete control over when the fights happen, what order they happen, being able to spread them over multiple cards, and to react to injuries are all improvements in my view, so I think the feature is superior now.

Now you have to book all the matches every single round. I see what you're saying, but I kind of prefer it the new way. It allows you to do a realistic long-term grand prix and the game recognizes it as an official tournament and achievement. I'm someone that was doing tournaments like this in WMMA3 all the time, so to now have the game track and recognize it is a great bonus. Having to put in the extra clicks for a trade-off like that is okay by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what I used to do all the time and found it to be a hassle going back and fourth making sure I had every guy set up right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would use a notepad or a third-party tournament website (like challonge), but now you don't need to do that. The game tracks it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could've done manual tournaments spread over various events in WMMA1 if you kept track on it yourself. The (afaik only) reward you get from it here is that the game keeps track of it as an achievement for the winning fighter, which alone is worth it imo.

kaneso14 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 In WMMA3 I was able to click on the 'Weight Classes' screen and it would give an exact breakdown of all the weight classes in my company and how many fighters were in each. In WMMA4 the 'Weight Classes' screen does not give this breakdown. Is there anywhere else I can check this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian2 Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 another stupid question if asked before... if i fiddle around with the demo database, will the changes transfer over when i upgrade it to the retail version? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 another stupid question if asked before... if i fiddle around with the demo database, will the changes transfer over when i upgrade it to the retail version? thanks! It depends on whether you download a fresh database or not. I would recommend that you do, as there are going to be new characters on top of fixes to biographies, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 The new characters you can easily import into the db, but you'll have to pass on the changes. But if it's only minor bio fixes I wouldn't worry too much about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackman Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It seems the backgrounds have actually been added now. Not that it matters for the demo, but it's better to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
