WMMA5 Small Questions Thread

[Teh_Showtime]

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.

 

Another thing I’ve noticed is definitely length and amount of fights in the contract, on top on performance modifiers

 

Base pay for the fight is only a small part of the contract

Is there a way to set up companies in the Middle East? For example UAE, Israel? Jordan? I was trying to set up one to random debut in my save and couldn't figure a way to do so with the given options.

<p>Im considering turning on organic bios for a "Dawn of MMA" save using the default database. I have two quick questions:</p><p> </p><p>

1) How do those who have been using them like them? I like the blurbs that are currently on bios like "A very good wrestler with an almost unstoppable double leg and nasty ground and pound, Foster may not be the most versatile or well-rounded fighter but he is very, very hard to beat." Obviously I recognize this is pretty specific but it gives a uniqueness to the characters. For those who like organic bios, do you still feel the characters are unique? what about those who don't like them?</p><p> </p><p>

2) If I change my save to organic part-way through will it update all the fighters that have already debuted?</p>

<p>Silhouette</p><p> </p><p>

Where can I find the silhouette face and body pics? I would love to use them for my created fighters in WMMA3. They are much more subtle than the ones in WMMA 3.</p>

[KholDrum]

<p>Hoping Adam sees this one, he's probably the only one that can answer definitively, but maybe someone has seen it happen in their games.</p><p> </p><p>

My question:</p><p> </p><p>

Will AI companies open Atomweight and Strawweight divisions (both men and women) if there are enough fighters in the game world to warrant having the division?</p>

All of the weight classes that are supported in the game (which I believe is 105 to 266+) can have fighters generated, or have companies generate weight classes for them. If you had a game where you have a ton of 105ers in one area, the game will adjust to it. Or on the flip-side, a company with a 105 division but no fighters, it will generate them.</p>

I've never done a multiplayer game before, looking to do it during the testing phase of my mod, can I go from a 1 player game to a 2-3 player game and go back to a 1 player game on the fly or when I add a player do they stay permanent in the turn system?

[USNNJB9]

do the updates effect already started games?

WMMA 5 really needs to give us an option to return from multi advance when another org offers our fighters a contract. I've had way too many stars leave to delegated negotiations.

One of my top fighters has failed a drugs test for recreational drugs. I've previously fired lesser fighters for PEDs/TRT, but I'm tempted to keep that fighter. Would my company be considered a soft touch on drugs if I was okay with recreational drugs, but not PEDs/TRT? Or would the game pick up that I distinguish between them?

[kemicode]

Do PED/TRT users get a boost in skills? I'm honestly considering never doing drug tests but if it gives the fighters an unjust advantage, then I might do it.

 

Also, what does Menace do?

I think PEDs and TRT users do get a boost; I've not checked it closely myself, but I know that in TEW steroids would affect stats, so I would be surprised if it was different in WMMA. Just be aware that you can't turn testing off if you're in a regulated region, so be careful where you run your shows if you don't want to pay for testing.

 

Menace is a "charisma stat"- if a fighter with a high Menace wins a fight, they can get a popularity boost for looking like a badass during the post-fight interview. I think a high Menace fighter can also attempt to stare down opposing fighters at the start of a round; I'm not certain whether this actually does anything but provide flavor, though.

<p>Sex tape scandal</p><p> </p><p>

I really like this addition to the game, not sure a sex tape scandal should have a 2 year penalty, but it is a really nice addition.</p><p> </p><p>

My question is, has anyone had this and still put their fighter on a card and took the stability hit? Just curious, how big of a hit is it?</p>

[BrokenCycle]

<p>Do fighters not bulk up to their maximum weight in a division above their normal weight class?</p><p> </p><p>

I put a welterweight in the middleweight division. He walks at 172, his max is 188, but he weighs in at 172.</p><p> </p><p>

Is this a bug or what?</p>

[vBaC0n]

Fighters don't typically bulk irl. When Connor fought at Welterweight he went into the fight at his walking around weight.

So I'm trying to book my next show, specifically a fight between Nick Soldo and a fighter named Kay Cooper. Cooper just signed an extension to his contract and he's not injured or on any kind of suspension. He has plenty of time to prepare. So why won't the game let me book him into a fight?

[GUINNC]

So, I've been having one night tournaments using the 2x5 with Decider round. Although I've had many fights where the Play by Play says we're tied up at 19-19, it always is a split decision where two judges give both rounds to one guy while the other judge to the other. Sometimes it makes no sense because one guys will clearly win round one and another will clearly win round two, but I've yet to see any 3rd rounds (nearly 20 fights with this setup). Anyone else had this issue or is this a possible bug?

[paulskln]

When i am in a save , and go to the editor section....i want to export characters to a data set....is there anyway to highlight all of the characters or just one at a time?
