Is there a thread for minor issues. Like typos or misspellings?

<p>okay, I've been wondering about this for as long as I started trying to create my own fighters.</p><p> </p><p>

So you create a fighter and give him some stats...</p><p>

In game - does the fighter start with those stats or are those his "peak" stats when (and if) he trains enough and has enough of a potential?</p>

Peak stats are determined by attributes and potential.</p>

Is there any way to mass add/modify character contracts?

[edvis500]

[WrestleManiac]

I have a one night tournament set up, and a fighter gets an injury the day before the fight. I have no replacement fighters. How do I edit the tournament to give the fighter a bye? The only option I see is to cancel the tournament.

[Dross]

Is there any benefit in letting fighters fight in front of a home crowd? or is this just a personal/cosmetic touch?

[BigT]

Can someone give me a run down of all the various attributes of a fighter. I want to create a couple of boxing only companies but not sure of what the attributes are. I can't download the demo so can't look at the manual. Thanks.

[Wall-E19]

<p>Any chance we get the full release before Tuesday? Lol </p><p>

I'm like halfway just joking, keep waking up and checking forums everyday just in case though. I didn't get to play wmma4 so the game feels so much more fleshed out from what I'm used to in 3. </p><p>

My actual question is can you run a GAMMA battle lines event as a major show, but only put it on tv and not ppv if you have a decent lineup or does that create alot of penalties? Also, where is the option to have an organization do a 10 count on knockdown?</p>

[BuddyGarner]

what's the criteria for hall of fame?

[Phaeno]

<p>I could be totally wrong here, but I seem to remember setting Potential to 0 in WMMA4 would totally randomize the fighter's potential at the beginning of the game. The in-game text doesn't mention this, though.</p><p> </p><p>

The Modern Warriors 2009 mod has every fighter sitting at 0 Potential - I just want to make sure that doesn't mean "really bad potential". If so, I'll just use the editor to set everyone's to a reasonable level so I don't have a bunch of poor potential guys roaming around.</p>
