In order to minimize prep time and recuperation time should I set the stat to 0 or to 100?

<p>Probably a really obvious question, but i'm gonna ask it anyway just for clarification</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>

the attribute "Combat: Stance Switcher" will do nothing if your stance is set to "Always" Traditional/Southpaw, correct?</p>

They share the same basic data such as nationality, ethnicity, picture etc. Therefore if the retired worker had a picture the regen will have a picture.</p><p> </p><p> Randomly generated workers are completely random characters. I suspect that the worker is generated and then is assigned a picture from a list of pictures that match the criteria from the "free pictures". So if the worker is male, asian and 180 lbs, a short list of pictures from the "free pictures" would be created and then a random picture from that list would be assigned (I suspect...I haven't seen the code). In any case the only ways to reduce the chance of a generated worker not having a picture is to add more free pictures and/or reduce the restriction on the existing free pictures (for example making them available for a wider range of weights). Anyway without a huge amount of free pictures you cannot eliminate the possibility of a worker ending up without a picture.</p><p> </p><p> Regens and Generated Workers can be turned on/off in the options.</p>

[KholDrum]

Oh right! That wasn't even an option in WMMA4, totally forgot that was a thing now.

[Lemmy Adams]

Is there a way to prevent, tone down or offset chin ratings from dropping after taking a knockout?

 

I'd like to run a more "arcade" less simulated division where fighters can have very prolific careers. There where a lot of changes that make this more possible in wmma5 however the chin attribute dropping while striking attributes continue to rise seems to be the limiting factor. Eventually 1 punch knock outs become more commonplace.

<p>Quick question about reality shows:</p><p> </p><p>

I want to run a reality show to establish a new division, but all I've got right now is PPV. Do I need to sign a deal with a tv network to run the reality show? I honestly can't imagine running it on PPV.</p>

<p>Fighter vs local fighter</p><p> </p><p>

What are the point of fighter vs local fighter? Thinking of turning that off but keeping fighter vs fighter turned on. But wanted to know the pros and cons of turning it off first.</p>

[xenus]

<p>Planning to buy the game today, question is, which mods should I install, to have as much fighters as possible?</p><p> </p><p>

Not the real world ones.</p>

[xenus]

<p>So, I installed a Global verse database. Now what I totally forgot from WMMA4, is if later on it is possible to add more fighters, broadcasters etc. from other mods?</p><p>

If I remember correctly they can be imported to my current game right?</p><p> </p><p>

EDIT: More importantly, i do not understand it, cannot deal with it for over an hour now...I created a new company, and when starting new game it says:</p><p>

have an owner but are not active when the game starts</p>

[gayjesus]

<p>I think the "Prospect Watch" news should have an age restriction.</p><p> </p><p>

I frequently get 38-45 year old fighters in the "Prospect Watch", lol.</p>
