#5 Using 'To Be Announced', #15 One Night Tournaments, #16 Grand Prix Settings, #16 Grand Prix Settings, #107 Customizable Information Bar have me really excited about WMMA 5. I love the version 3 but the constant and cumbersome contract system makes it hard for me to play for long periods. The return of the one night tournament is a big deal for me.

<p>I can't believe how many new features are in this game. Loving all of the new things, and the fact that many previous features from other games are making a return. Thank you Grey Dog for listening to everything that we've asked for and also for being open to new ideas as well! This game is a day one purchase for me for sure - I can't wait!</p><p> </p><p>

As for today's journal, corporate investments and being able to talk to the fighters employed by the company - these features are just awesome. Really starting to think this game is going to take over my life, haha!</p>

Yeah I must say I am super excited, I would have been happy with just an improved fight engine but all of the other improvements have absolutely sold me on day 1 this becoming a buy buy buy. Can't wait to get my hands on it next year and start the simulation goodness with all the improvements.

WOW! Quick accept contracts is HUGE! This saves a ton of time. I am also very excited about the ability to edit rankings. I thought WMMA 4 rankings were honestly terrible. WMMA 3 did it much better, but now the ability to edit them completely is awesome!
