I was referring to WMMA becoming more of a game like TEW, where you have to manage more aspects of the company. WMMA is a pure booking sim.

However, I see what you're saying with WMMA4, not really many things you can manage, but what really is there to add to it? Already got feeder companies, announcers, fighter contracts, reality shows, shows in general.</p>

What is the difference?</p>
