Reality TV Question

[Roclyjohan]

Hey!

Iv'e had this problem since WMMA4 put never asked until know.

 

How do you end a Reality Tv season?

 

I have never watched The ultimate fighter so maybe i'm missing something but i find no explanation in-game for this.

 

It's all building up to a match between the two final participants but there is never a final episode of the show where they fight.

So what happens is that the season is ongoing forever whitout anything happening.

 

So i figured that maybe i have to book the match myself right?

So i try to put the match togheter with the two guys who are both welterweights.

 

First guy goes fine but the other guy can't be found on the booking screen.

He is a welterweight just as the other guy and he is not injrured and under contract so there is no reason why he shouldn't be there?

 

So i'm again at this crossroad. What i'm a supposed to do?

I believe this option is on by default.</p>

<p>Turn Smart Match Making off. It's a pretty lame feature. </p><p> </p><p>

Just change the Search parameters to Available-Yes in the Match Making screen yourself. There's times when you want to put Available to Any when you're wanting to plan fights ahead of time.</p>

Turn Smart Match Making off. It's a pretty lame feature.

 

Just change the Search parameters to Available-Yes in the Match Making screen yourself. There's times when you want to put Available to Any when you're wanting to plan fights ahead of time.

 

No need to disable it, if you change the search paramater for Available, it will disregard the Smart-Booking setting until you exit the booking screen.
