scuz Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Loving the changes again today! Fighters moving to a different country to find work instead of stagnating is one that I'm particularly excited about. Nothing worse that seeing a fighter unable to fight due to lack of weight divisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrokenCycle Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Tagging fighters is a really great feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag01 Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Tagging is going to be really useful for large rosters, I think. I especially love the other announcements though. having big name fighters really affect the PPV buys was sorely needed and adds some challenge. Having certain guys rocket to popularity is cool too.

Phalanx Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The improvement to the small local shows is a massive plus! When people are sitting at 25-0 and their fight record was nothing but local shows was a pain in the ass lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leithal Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 The PPV draw/needle mover feature and the better popularity gains are really nice new features. As someone who really missed the "hyping" feature from WMMA 3 I think this is a nice alternative. Thank you for the constant updates! So excited already!!

scuz Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I haven't played WMMA4 in so long that I forgot that the hyping feature had been taken out. Definitely an often used part of WMMA3 for me. I'm interested to see how the new feature has been implemented in the new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Nice to see hype return for fighters. I never liked to hype a fight as potentially exciting and it messes with the organic nature of fight quality as it just seemed to make the rating more extreme if great/bad or more average in case it was "just" good/poor.

RedsRule Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Love the updates today. Nothing like giving a guy a ton of hype (usually a regen) only for him to fall on his face spectacularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omnikron Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 <p>WMMA5 is shaping up to be great game by the looks of it. Like some other people, I fell in love with the series with WMMA3, but felt WMMA4 was a bit of a step in the wrong direction based on the loss of features. </p><p> </p><p> I'm hoping that the default database has more meat on its bones versus its predecessors. Granted there are some amazing mods and the game gives you a tremendous amount of customization, but it would be nice to see those things as a "nice to have" instead of a "necessity" in creating a full, rich experience from the start.</p><p> </p><p> Regardless, thank you Mr. Ryland for creating the game.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leithal Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Well, so much for my previous comment. HYPE IS BACK! Wow, this just keeps getting better!!! This game is going to be incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdidman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 It sounds great I have to say, what Adam is putting in the journal sounds really great! It seems there is more life in the game and to me, it sounds a lot more realistic. I am really excited for this. Thanks Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synticha Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 A fighter may now purposely add extra punches after his or her opponent is out cold to send a message, or just because they're a garbage human being. My H-Bomb meter is ticking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackman Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yeah, I hope we see an explosion of diari... diaries (makes me think of a possible feature in the game ) with all the immersion-boosting features this year. Also love the dilemma's introduced with the "extra punches" alongside drug abuse and morale. Hopefully arcade mode can still turn these off altogether as some players will not like it. Now it feels more like managing a company instead of being a mere platform for fights. Especially #115 More Awareness is my favorite this week, whereas we first had to witness fighters walking to their eventual doom - barring a rare flash KO. Even minor things like renaming past shows can be gold. I once used a screwup on my part in the naming as the main reason to start a new game altogether.

Sco xY2Jx Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Yeah, I don't want to get too excited but please let it be a December release as opposed to January. This version is sounding decidedly awesome. I never played WMMA3 but the journal entities are sounding like it'll be a more complete, rounded game than 4. Some awesome additions. Can't wait to start up my first WMMA dynasty. Already think it'll be easier to write than a TEW one. I enjoyed providing updates in What's Going On In Your Game for my 4 year GAMMA game. But I've got the excitement for a diary/dynasty. Loving the journal, Adam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vatechfan24 Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm a little late to the party on this and i haven't read everything about this game yet but i was wondering about getting a fight generator in the game. I'm super lazy and i know there are other lazy people out there but it would be nice when creating a show if there was a random button that would just pick a fight for you based off criteria you setup before hand. Sometimes i just don't want to sit there and go through who should fight who and would love a little help here and there. Like maybe the random button could just generate the under card. Woop Woop!! Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for a game that is mainly a booking sim instead of a partly company-sim like TEW I don't see the use of a feature like that unless you want to auto-book "lesser shows".</p><p> </p><p> If you're lazy I advise you to play watcher games and just watch the gameworld unfold. I admit it wasn't all that in WMMA4 but with all the announced fluff I'm sure it must be awesome in 5.

SirMichaelJordan Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Excited about the new marketing, hype and popularity stuff.
