WMMA5 Small Questions Thread

[kemicode]

<p>If a gym doesn't have a certain skill covered (Boxing for example), does that mean fighters that train there will not improve in Boxing?</p><p> </p><p>

Also bumping my previous question. There is no negative effect of putting the inferior draw between two fights at main event right? Commercial rating reads the best draw between the main event and co-main so the spots are interchangeable. For example, I can put a title fight like Woodley vs. Wonderboy at the main event and put the superior draw of for example Conor vs. Nate 3 at the co-main and there will be no implications whatsoever right? I know for commercial rating, there won't be any issues but are there other factors that consider only the main event?</p>

I ask once again. Why can't you put a bye in a one night tournament if a fighter is injured and it's to late to come up with a replacement? Why is cancelling the entire tournament the only option available?

Byes aren't viable.

 

If you're using one night tournaments, it's sensible to book a back-up match on the undercard; if there's an injury you can then simply move one of the participants into the tournament.

Could somebody tell me to what ages do the various destiny stats options <em>(Much Younger - Younger - Average - Older - Much Older)</em> in the fighter editor correspond to?

I'm trying to build up a guy slow. I usally just throw them agaist guys without thinking twice. But with big magic I wanna do it slow. What's the correct way to build up a guy

Since Big Magic has no ground game put him against someone who can’t take him down and preferably has a weak chin. The best way to feed a guy is having him in fights where the opponent doesn’t have the skills to stop their best option. Usually you can tell if the fight is -1000 or more in betting odds (though of course those are never guarantees)

is it normal the game stops responding sometimes for a few seconds when advancing?

Is there a relation between Potential and Destiny? Is Potential the one that's random for each fighter for every save?

[MightyDavidson]

I ask this again: why would a fighter jump to a rival company for LESS money then I'm offering him?

[Fezoman]

Is there a relation between Potential and Destiny? Is Potential the one that's random for each fighter for every save?

Not really. AFAIK, Potential is the maximum skill level the fighter can reach, whereas Destiny is more like a window of opportunity, (ie when they will reach their peak and how long they will stay there before their skills begin to decay). They are both randomised at the start of a new game, unless the player alters them in the editor to a specific value.

I also have a query that I hope someone can answer:

When a fighter profile regenerates into another fighter with similar stats, is the era taken into account, (i.e. is it all relative)?

So, for example, would a dominant fighter from an early era have even greater skills when their regen appears in a later era to account for the fact that the MMA world has improved? Or would the fighter keep roughly identical stats to their previous incarnation, and thus be a less dominant force because of the tougher late game opponents?

[Fezoman]

I ask this again: why would a fighter jump to a rival company for LESS money then I'm offering him?

Is the rival company more popular? Does it have more credibility? If a fighter seeks fame and glory more than money, they might not be swayed so much by financial incentives over a chance to make a name for themselves in a bigger company.
