Mike Louis Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Glad to see the TBA feature coming back. Right now when I play WMMA4, I’m currently type in my promotion’s events on separate booking sheet text file. Whenever I can’t book fights right away (due to my fighters recovering), I use a second text file called <em>Future Booking</em> so when my fighters are eligible to be booked, I could add the fight. With TBA coming back, I can now book the event and then insert the fighters when they’re fully recovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klnOmega Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 The new pic narrative is great. Especially for older mods that go through eras where the UFC changed their logo. Also its good for fighters like Overeem who put on a bunch of weight midway through their careers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teh_Showtime Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I wonder if hometown boosts apply to to a fighter’s draw power slightly as well. A guy fighting in his hometown on a small show might warrant a main or semi main event spot even if on bigger shows he might only be a prelim guy at the moment.

There should probably be a small boost for the events critical rating (again depending on whether an event is reaching a televised audiance or not) if the hometown hero wins in style. I remember the last UFC event I went to and all the local fighters lost. The audience were really bummed out. Although in the UFC's case, it probably made little difference, apart from possibly losing a chance to convert some on the fence casual fans in attendance.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerdilligaf Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hoping with the TBA feature we get the option to fill it with a local fighter if someone pulls out close to the event. Buzzing for the games release :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donners Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Hometown boost is good, but I'd hope it was a home country boost for international tours (if there is any incentive to having them, unlike past versions). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batsnumbereleven Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Question on #13: Does this affect the underlying database, or is it a profile edit that only impacts the game that is currently in progress? I am assuming the latter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Ryland Posted October 26, 2017 Author Share Posted October 26, 2017 Does this affect the underlying database, or is it a profile edit that only impacts the game that is currently in progress? I am assuming the latter... The latter. The former wouldn't make sense as if you edited in things that happened, like title wins, they wouldn't have happened in the database itself.

The former wouldn't make sense as if you edited in things that happened, like title wins, they wouldn't have happened in the database itself. Thanks. I guess this would be more use to those not using the Organic Biographies, which I hope would naturally generate such events into the Profile?

Chernobyl426 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Retirement fight! I was always so frustrated when guys retired before I could give them that one final fight. Have had multiple times where I was about to offer a title fight and the fighter would retire out of the blue. Great feature to add. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
