Morula Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 What is with Heavyweights turning down fights with other heavyweights due to weight? That makes 0 sense. I even turned on fantasy booking and still declined due to weight. I could understand if it was an open weight fight but it is with in a weight class...

I had Pike turn down a fight because the other guy was 22 lbs heavier. I'm not sure that is too realistic there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remianen Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 There is an attribute (Career: Even Playing Field) that will cause a fighter to always turn down fights where they'd be much smaller than their opponent. What exactly constitutes 'much' smaller, I have no idea. But it might be a good idea to look at the fighters in question and see if they have this attribute. Other than that, no idea what could cause folks to turn down fights within their own division, specifically noting weight. I've had folks turn down fights because they would be hard ("I think <fighter> is too much of a step up in competition for me...") but not for weight.

Sudo_Nym Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yeah, I think fighters with the attribute will turn down fights if the opponent is 20+ pounds heavier than them; it only really comes up in the Heavyweight division, since that's the only place such discrepancies within a weight class are possible. I usually find that people like Norman Pike that don't want to fight up can be moved down to Light Heavy; realistically, if you're going to come in at 210, you might be better off dropping a class anyway.

mattandbenny Posted August 10, 2015 Share Posted August 10, 2015 Yea personally i think this feature should be scrapped. In the MW patch, i have Werdum who will only fight about half of my heavyweights. Absolute nightmare to schedule fights with him! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
