Is it normal for me to have several prelims matches and just 4-5 main fights? I usually go for 18-20 events per year and most of my fights are of prelim quality. What situation would you put a "prelim" level fight in the main card?

Is there a way to see a fighters maximum weight? I have made my heavyweight division 206 - 300 pounds, but one super heavyweight (Melvin Yeo) seems to be healthy but isn't showing up. I was wondering if he weighed over 300 pounds.

Does the game still produce "brawlers"? Fighters with that as their base?

Out of curiosity and not at all because this just happened to me, what do y'all do when a number 1 contender fight ends in a draw?

Is there any way to edit the save to remove a fighter from hiatus

<p>Question</p><p> </p><p>

I created a fighter with the editor but I am not sure how to add him to my current game</p>

[USNNJB9]

go to in game editor in your save, and i think you can import the character .

<p>I'm unable to run a second one night tournament, I have fighters who are not injured but I can't select them, it just shows "To Be Announced".</p><p> </p><p>

I only have a single weight class of "Openweight"</p><p> </p><p>

What am I doing wrong?</p>

<p>When A CEO/Owner/Play By Play/Broadcaster dies.....</p><p> </p><p>

Do they get regenerated as mature adults or do they come back as 20 year olds?</p>

[scuz]

<p>Also, what does the game mean by each of the individual broadcasting skills?</p><p> </p><p>

I take it the Analysis stat is describing the the person that discusses the fight after it's over?</p><p> </p><p>

Why is it that ex fighters in the game that work in broadcasting only ever have "Analysis" skills?</p><p> </p><p>

It would be nice if they could also have play by play and anchoring skills.</p><p> </p><p>

Brian Stann,and Dan Hardy are good examples of ex fighters that have "play by play skills" and Kenny Florian is a good example of someone with "anchoring skills".</p>

It refers to their ability to keep the show lively and entertaining while calling all the shots.</p><p> </p><p> Anchoring is more like a TV presenter co-ordinating all the segments and making sure everything gels together, particularly the timing of adverts and the like.</p><p> </p><p> Analysis is the ability to provide expert insight to the technical aspects of the fight. This is usually done by a 'colour' commentator who supports the lead commentator, and who usually only talks when there is a break in the action. (This would include pre- and post-fight analysis.)</p><p> </p><p> Most fighters would naturally fit in the role of colour commentator, whereas the play-by-play would probably require more of a host/entertainer. Although I guess in real life, ex-athletes tend to gradually assume the role of lead commentator over time.</p><p> </p><p> As to how this should best be implemented, I suspect its quite tricky to go beyond using a standard system. Personally, I would have used a whole different section of the database for non-fighter characters, (allowing for so much additional potential depth, I must stop myself from writing an essay on the topic), but it is what it is.</p>

What's the point of filtering by Reputation and Ranking in the Add Fight screen?

 

Isn't Ranking mostly based on Reputation? I've only seen the two filters be different one time, and it was for two cans. They were next to each other and they just flopped positions.

There's also rare cases where there's just a famous guy who picks up MMA. This applies to someone like Big Magic, who could easily hit National with a few wins, but he wouldn't be ranked.</p>
