Adam Ryland Posted November 21, 2017 Author Share Posted November 21, 2017 I don't know if people are misunderstanding my earlier reply, but to clarify you cannot edit the rankings. That isn't, and won't be, a feature in WMMA5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoIVIboguard Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Love the additions very much! Looking forward to the release. I just wonder if converting databases has any serious drawbacks. I have never done that before, now I am killing lots of time editing my big WMMA4 database... so will it be possible to just convert my DB into the WMMA5 and start a new game without problems? Adam mentioned new weight parameters, is this going to affect my converted DB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tag01 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 I'm kind of amazed at how these smaller but still awesome features are starting to add up. It's a nice mix of qualify of life changes and new features to add immersion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soluuloi Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 I've seen situations in which a fighter defeats another and once the rankings get updated, the fighter that lost is still ranked higher that the one who just beat him. It would be nice to be able to modify rankings for those situations. But that is not how ranking works. Arlovski got dropped by Francis but Francis is still ranked lower. Rankers are tested and tried fighter judged by their overrall records, not just a recent one or two match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUINNC Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 #135 Quick Accept A new Quick Accept button allows a contract negotiation to be completed immediately without the need to check the details. This saves time and clicking. #136 Quick Accept All Following on from the above, there is also a Quick Accept All button that completes all available negotiations at once without needing them to be checked. This again saves a lot of time, particularly when building a roster or renewing a lot of contracts at the same time. The only thing that I considered a must-have in the new game. Thank you. Can. Not. Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsoccerpro Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 In real life, the rankings are done by a select group of media members. Dana White and Sean Shelby don't always agree with them, which is why they are sometimes seemingly ignored (well that and money fights getting in the way ). Exactly, rankings are controversial in real life so I think it’s fine if they are sometimes controversial in the game. In both cases they are somewhat accurate the large majority of the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuz Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Personality And persona being added to fighter's profile is great. I always felt that feature was a little redundant being hidden away in the editor. I also like the "likely usuage" feature (if I'm understanding correctly what it means). Does it show up on matchmaking screens to advise which fighters would be a good fit for particular cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i'm not sure that citing the Heavyweight division on how rankings work is probably a bad idea. On the other hand Darren Till had a draw and two decision victories(one of which he barely eked out) before he had his coming out party against Cerrone and now is top 10. Off basically one fight, because he beat a huge name.</p><p> </p><p> And yes, I am aware that the feature announced didn't say that we were going to have the ability to edit rankings. I was simply agreeing with someone who said that it would be a cool idea to have that as a feature in this game or in future installations. At any rate, the game already sounds like it's going to be amazing and I can't wait to play it!</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfrvictor Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Love the absence list, so many time I booked a fight and after simulating a couple of weeks a couple of fighters returned and new matchups that would've made so much sense were now unnavailable.

Blackman Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 <p>Some of today's features are huge for me personally.</p><p> </p><p> The thing I'm still curious about is the "camp" feature and if it's been overhauled or adjusted for the short notice feature. In other words: will short notice fighters' skills be impacted? Right now in WMMA4 the stat progression will be lessened by a couple of %'s (if there is still growth possible). This information is not that valuable to the player as you have little control over fight outcomes anyway, but it's always nice to know how the game works so hopefully it's in the in-game FAQ.</p><p> </p><p> The official UFC games work with temporary skill boosts but I'm under the impression WMMA only takes consistency into account to shift the stats at the beginning of a fight and has increased skill progression during pre-fight camps that is "banked" until stat decline starts. I think both approaches are valid.</p><p> </p><p> The other thing is teams and gameplanning. The journal says gameplanning will be enhanced by a team, but it depends whether the stat dictates the fighter's own fighting IQ or the ability to follow through with an assigned gameplan. I'd also like to know if fighters can learn from each other in teams, but quite frankly there's arguments to be made that the presence of an elite fighter has no impact on the quality of training given at a team, so I'm fine with the absence of this.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne28 Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 <p>Happy Thanksgiving!</p><p> </p><p> Each day of announcements keeps getting better and better!</p><p> </p><p> Forgive me if I missed this or if it is already included in WMM4, but is there a way to change a regions ability to host mma events mid game? For example, if New York has mma as "illegal", could we change it to legal mid game?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHK1978 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 <p>There is no feature that stands out that makes this a must buy for me. There are however a lot of small features that is going to make this a must buy. There are features that I did not know I wanted or did not even think of, that make this sound awesome.</p><p> </p><p> For instance the whole volunteer fighter feature is not something I would have ever thought of, yet I am now hyped for it now that I have read about it.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattu29 Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Have to disagree massively with that! There are so many features listed that have made it a must buy for me. Seems like I was in the minority on here who loved wmma4 and this just sounds like another level compared so will be buying day one for sure!
