Is it me or do stomps and kicks to a knocked down opponent never finish anyone? In my 3 years save, I have never seen anyone finished by stomps and kicks. They always get back up. This issue is even more prevalent now as the frequency was increased.

<p>I am playing one of the 1993 reset C-verse mods ... I set it up so that only one company started - WVTC ... and they are openweight only. I set them to saturation for shows, so in the first 3 years of simming they have run 67 shows .... </p><p> </p><p>

The problem is, while they have 98 fighters on their roster, only like 8 of the fighters are listed on the company rankings ....</p><p> </p><p>

I have an annual Grand Prix in this organization too ... and for example Sean Morrison won the last one, he has a record of 10-0 and still isn't listed in the company rankings .... This is obviously impacting how the AI hands out title fights too (only giving them to people in the rankings) .. For example, Rafael Huerta won the first two Grand Prix, has a record of 14-2, huge popularity (low level national in the company home region compared to the company's high level regional popularity) and yet he's never been ranked and thus never got a title shot. Why is that? Definitely a big immersion breaker for these top guys who win a bunch to never get the title shot. I'm at a loss for why this would be.</p>

A weight class that has limit 90-600lbs doesn't get ranked apparently. You can avoid this by setting the weight limits to 91-599lbs for example.

Ahh that makes sense. I can now see that everyone who is ranked has a fight in a local show (ie. in another weight class than openweight), whereas everyone not ranked has fought all their fights open weight. Perfect, thanks.

As a low level regional company starting out, what type of popularity gains can I expect? I'm having suitable main events every time (pretty much everyone on my roster can main event after a win or two), yet I'm only getting populariyt increases of 0.4 to 0.7% typically. Is that normal?

If you've turned off a company's ability to create new weight classes, but you've also set a narrative for that same company to create a new weight class on a particular date, which takes precedence? (Does the company ignore the narrative, or go outside its settings to follow it?)

Never noticed anyone outright deny a challenge.</p>

<p>I re-signed from the company I was running, because I wanted to briefly change something with another company ... I thought I could leave without saving and then just go back in to before I had re-signed, but it turns out it did save...</p><p> </p><p>

So now I am unemployed and unable to get back into my company ... is there any way to play like commissioner/God mode type thing and put myself back in place as the owner/CEO of my company, or am I basically screwed?</p>

Under User Preferences, I have "Full Delegation Automatic Contract Renewals Are On" checked and saved, but none of my fighters' contracts are auto-renewing. I have to do them all manually. What else do I have to do to get this to work? Using 1.6 if that matters.

<p>What stat makes you take a fight quicker then normal</p><p> </p><p>

I can't remember the stat. Anyone know what it is</p>

[Fezoman]

If you've turned off a company's ability to create new weight classes, but you've also set a narrative for that same company to create a new weight class on a particular date, which takes precedence? (Does the company ignore the narrative, or go outside its settings to follow it?)

The narrative overrides the company settings. Tested it myself.

[Pimpasaurus]

Preperation. If you need info on what any other stat does or what stat does a certian thing you can find it in the players handbook, which is the ? in the top right next to the minimise and close buttons.

<p>"showcase" show</p><p> </p><p>

Does anyone know what this is or what it looks like? For the life of me I can't find a "showcase" local show. I've seen it written about a couple of times, but I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be looking for, because I don't have anything in my game saying anything about a showcase.</p><p> </p><p>

Thanks.</p>

[cymru96]

When you have a whole bunch of companies set to open randomly, why do OMEGA always open first?

[BrokenCycle]

<p>Here's a question that means nothing to me because I have the setting off, but I'm still curious. </p><p> </p><p>

If a fighter demands a fight, then you book them in a fight against someone else, do they complain about it and push you onto their demanded opponent?</p>

[Griffo]

Everytime I go into a fighter profile I can't get out from that screen, am I just being daft? haha
