Are there spinning backfist, superman punch's,flying knees's etc..... when it comes to the simulated fights ??? Or perhaps a mod/mdb file that gives the fight simulator just a tad bit more depth ?

None of the three are listed in the fight engine's skills or calculations sections (unless I still managed to miss them after scanning twice).</p>

All three are in.

how do i copy the default database? i want to make changes to the database but want to keep the current one in case i want to go back to the default later. forgive me for what might be a stupid question

You'll need to find the database folder on your computer and copy the file there, then rename it. When you go back into the game you'll see the copied database with the new name.

Anyone have ideas on what might be leading to my champions only fighting once every 10-11 months in a save I'm simming rather than actively playing? They'll often fight 2-3 times per year when they first get the title, but within a year or two the company seems to settle into a rhythm of only scheduling title defenses once every 10-11 months. Most if not all of the contenders below them continue to fight several times per year. But even with recuperation, suspensions, and injuries turned off, and the company set to "saturation" scheduling, the champs are rarely getting scheduled to defend their belts. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I noticed that there are cheat codes for TEW2016, and now I see where we can input them in WMMA5. Are there any known cheat codes for WMMA5?

If I set injury recuperation to none, will big company's constantly use there big stars over and over ? I am talking like 5-6 events in a row without really using other talent from their roster ? I just want to set it for convenience to set up the fights I want and not make my champ defend his title every show.

Nope. In fact I've kind of seen the opposite. With a company's scheduling style set to saturation and recuperation turned off, most of my fighters in their primes fight 2-3 times per year. Prospects sometimes maybe as many as 5 times per year. But the champs get into a rhythm of only fighting once per year. Which is disappointing and I wish I could figure out why it's going that way. It should be noted, though, that my testing has occurred in a universe where my company has many, many options that are strong enough to headline their own shows. Perhaps if there were fewer viable options the company would schedule the champs more often.

<p>A question about changing the fighters age in editor</p><p> </p><p>

I am playing with the RealWorld Mod and started with one of the smallest company's and have the following question.</p><p> </p><p>

I was wondering if in the editor I change a characters age and make them younger if they are less likely to retire ? I ask because starting small I hire all rookies pretty much due to cost and talent theft. I enjoy playing this way and working my way up the ladder but since it is a slow burn I would hate to finally reach the top only to have all the great fighters of our time or currently top fighters all retire by the time I hit the big time.</p>

[xamdam]

Anyone know a good method of using the editor to force a company into allowing a takeover? I imported a company with the intention of making them into a child organization, but even when I put them $50 million in debt and advance a couple weeks they are still unwilling to sell.

[BayStyles]

Is there a way to use fighters as commentators (e.g Cormier, Cruz, Felder) prior to retirement?

[Overdose]

I have a question regarding Media Broadcasters. So I have (11) Broadcasters airing my shows. Most of them are TV Paid Subscription revenue and one is PPV. Now using TV and PPV on the same event, does that lower my PPV Income ? If you can watch my events on regular TV why use a PPV?? TV Gives you a lot of money on ads/subs while PPV is bringing in a measly 45k. If I remove the TV Shows and just put PPV will my PPV gross much more than TV ? I am trying to figure out how to broadcast my shows better. Maybe my minor events I throw to thin the heard and find new up comers should be TV Aired and my Main Last Event of the month should be PPV? Is that the best way to do it or should I just throw them all into the mix on my events like I have been??

[Blackman]

I have a question regarding Media Broadcasters.

 

I wouldn't spend too much attention to it as it's not as important in this game. You are correct that it will lower PPV buys, but there's always people who don't mind paying if they can skip the commercials and get 24/7 access instead of having to tune in exactly at a specific time. So you can do both.

 

But making money is easy so I wouldn't bother, just like the commentator teams. You can always imagine them commentating and being present. There's no mic skill development here or relationship-building like in TEW16, so it doesn't matter. The "marketing" skills like charisma are static and you can only increase them with narratives.
