What's the difference between Rapid Fire and Saturation?

[Blackman]

<p>Rapid fire is a quicker pace then normal. </p><p> </p><p>

Saturation triggers events as soon as there’s enough fighters. </p><p> </p><p>

At least that’s my impression.</p>

[DC4MVP]

<p>I'm using the real life mod and started my own company on medium difficulty. A few game years later, I'm High Level National and finding a lot of the fighters I used to get to this point are now "suited for the prelims" and I desperately need some star power</p><p> </p><p>

Is there anyway to know when a fighter in the UFC or Bellator with exclusive contracts is ready to negotiate so I can try and steal them away? Is it shortlist?</p>

[Blackman]

<p>Yes, you'd have to shortlist them all.</p><p> </p><p>

Or, like me, just check out the news the day after a UFC event. The game will pinpoint which fighters' contracts are up.</p>

As long as your main event and, to a lesser degree, co-main event are good, it seriously does not matter. </p><p> </p><p> You can also have champions even "suited to the prelims" and, through momentum and title prestige, would be fine for main events.</p>

I recently tried to delete two of my saved games, but they're not deleting. What's the problem?

[Adam Ryland]

Usually it's because the player has added extra content to the folders, like a notepad file or thumbnails or images. This is very easy to confirm simply by navigating to the folder, turning on the ability to view hidden files, and physically looking.

[DC4MVP]

Is there a quick way to wipe all organizations of talent so everyone is a free agent to start the game?

[Mikaelinho]

Is there any way to unregister your game from outside of the game? I recently bought WMMA5 and installed it on my computer. However, the computer crashed and can't be restarted. I purchased a new computer today and want to keep playing WMMA5 on it. Can I do this without buying a new copy of the game?

<p>How does sorting work when you pick catchweight?</p><p> </p><p>

For example, if I sort by "Reputation" and pick catchweight, which weight class' reputation value is considered when sorting? Is it the highest of the eleven, or the weight class their currently in, or something else?</p>

What's the best way to weed out some up & coming prospects?

 

Looking at their skills?

This may have been asked before, but do regions open up in the game at all? Like New York? Is there ever a possibility of regions that are not available to one day open up and allow MMA?

[Wayne28]

I know if we turn off generated fighters that no new ones are created. My question is, what if a worked who was in the database prior to the game start was supposed to debut in September 2018, but generated fighters is turned off. Would he still debut?
