crazydave1066 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I saw in the poll before the game was released that several people like starting their own company in this game. Does anyone have some advice on the best ways to start your own company? I am having a difficult time getting off the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezoman Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Well, for the games I play, the main thing you need is patience, because it usually takes a couple years for your company to get off the ground. But it really depends on what you want. With the editor, you can get off the ground straight away by giving your company starting rep and finances. Just make sure you hire a few stars to headline each show and keep your company above board. If you're having trouble acquiring stars, one-night tourneys can establish a new name pretty quickly. Also in WMMA5, you can improve your company's stability, etc, (providing you give yourself the finances) by building company improvements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemicode Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Where is the best place to start your company? What ways are there to further improve your fighter's popularity in a certain region if he doesn't hail from there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big problem is that you need fighters to main event that have as much popularity as the company does to met expectations. So if you're playing a small company, it's a lot easier to find an acceptable main event, even with low level guys. But if you're trying to start at GAMMA's level with a roster full of unknowns, you'll probably struggle to find main events that won't tank your popularity.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sudo_Nym Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 How do I select my company size? Just through the editor? You can do it that way. Assuming you're using the "Start a New Company" option in game, though, there's a drop-down menu where you can select a difficulty, and it'll start you with different levels of money and popularity depending on what difficulty you picked.

cm_p_u_n_k Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm currently starting a new company that way using the Rock Hard difficulty. $5k and low level regional popularity means I'm starting off with a bunch of guys and girls who will sign a 3 fight contract for $100 a fight. I'm turning a profit at the moment but my popularity is dipping. I'm hoping my fighters' slight bump in popularity from their first fight can see me turn a profit and make popularity gains come the third show...

SteveS Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 A problem I run into with a small, new company is that once you have a main event fighter, he gets poached by the larger companies. Then you're back to square one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
