WMMA5 - Be A Manager

[MacGowan]

Ok, so I'm editing this post to tell people I did an extensive update on the real world mod in WMMA5.

this is an extensive mod update to Tag01s Modern Warrior 2.1. (Real World Mod).
Updated to November 5th 2018 (UFC 230: Daniel Cormier vs Derrick Lewis).
Also, Installing everything was a small headache for me when I first wanted to play this game, therefor I threw in the original WMMA5 installer for an All-in-one-download.

I've been looking around, checking out videos and the official website and I've been wondering if I should get the game. And to be honest how to get the game, I know there's a forum on their site, but it doesn't seem very newbie friendly, so I figured it was worth a shot to share it here on this forum to get a conversation going. Here's a few questions I have. How easy is it to get this game and install it? (with a up to date real fighters mod) looks like a small cluster**** to me. Anyone here tried it? do you recommend it? Any major flaws? Is there's something in this game that can be applied to a possible upcoming UFC4?

I havent tried 5 but I played 2 and 3. I like the game alot but you have to like text based sims since there arent any real graphics and you dont control who fights. I think I still have 3 on my computer.

- It was easy for me to install and there are likely FAQs on the forums that will walk you through installing mods.

- They could apply this to UFC 4 if they decided to focus all of their mode development time on adding these features. WMMA is deep as hell. Its not just a matchmaker game. You are negotiating deals with TV networks. You are scouting and negotiating deals with fighters. You are resigning your fighters. Drug testing (Dont see the UFC allowing that in their game).

There are definetly things that EA could add but keep in mind the depth of WMMA is related to the fact that the team at Grey Dog has done nothing but add features over 5-6 yrs. The interface has stayed the same. Graphics are the same. When you focus solely on mode building you can do that.

I've tried some of the WMMA games but I used to play a bit of TEW back in the day. They are relatively easy to get to work. However, there is a bit of a learning curve to the actual game. I didn't play WMMA long enough but at least TEW got a bit jarring with how much time micromanaging everything actually takes. It's not as simple as booking cards you'd like to see.

@MacGowan

I've played WMMA 3-5.

How easy is it to get this game and install it? (with a up to date real fighters mod) looks like a small cluster**** to me.
A. Full and demo download is here: http://greydogsoftware.com/wmma-5/
Purchase through their store here: https://www.elicense.com/greydogsoft...tore/index.asp
They will give you a license key which you will enter during Game startup one time.


Anyone here tried it? do you recommend it? Any major flaws?
A. Like what aholbert wrote, if you like text sims and you enjoy the matchmaking/management/promotion aspect of MMA then you should get this. The fight engine is also pretty deep even though it is text based.
Flaws:
- As with any text and management sim, learning curve is a bit high.
- Be ready to click a lot, although this has been much improved compared to previous iterations.
- When you use a UFC mod like you see in those screenshots, performance is quite slow. Given the sheer volume of data processing going on, simming from day to day can test your patience. However if you play using the out of the box world, it performs pretty well. I don't usually like fake rosters in these types of games but there's a lot of personality here.


Is there's something in this game that can be applied to a possible upcoming UFC4?
A. This is pretty much WWE's universe mode. I think many people have already been asking for this to be implemented in EA UFC.

[Blackman316]

This game implemented in EA UFC would be the dream, but that'll never happen.

I've played this game a lot lately and it's really good (easily one of my favorite releases the last year), but it's not for everyone as there's no graphics apart from fighter pics. You can play it as a booking sim or as a fight sim where you just observe the game world, which is what I do. So technically I'm not really "playing" it. AI is quite good and will book realistic cards. The game world is very dynamic.

It's really easy to install with mods. You just need to unzip it in the right spot. I can see some people having trouble with the "elicense" system but it's not intrusive and only riggers upon installation.

I am so happy you have started this thread!!!

I got WMMA 3 off Steam for about £2.99 a few months back and have played it sporadically, I like it but just dont have the time to fully delve into it as much as would like!

One thing I simply have not been able to do is install a real life mod (which is what I really want). I am terrible with tech and I couldnt even figure out following Youtube (I blame it on being old).

I am tempted to get WMMA 5 but for some reason keep failing to pull the trigger on it!

Well I'm 2 days into my run as owner of a ****ty small European promotion. Loving the game so far.

Was a bit of a headache to install:
- Download retail version
- purchase the game in-game... looked sketchy as ****.
- Download latest patch on their forum.
- Download real world Mod (Modern warrior), too bad they stopped updating it in March 2018.
- Install Mod. getting the picture folders to work was a small headache, and I can't get creating new fighters and importing headshots to work.

Oh well... I'll play it for a week and see where I stand on it, but lots of fun in-game managment issues and fun creative control, like making online broadcasts, or new belts. the turn time is a bit long with the large mod, but I'll live.

I can see lots of cool things that can be used in UFC 4, but yes, this game is far too deep and complex to be made into a mode.

That’s sounds cool

Just give me the basics of this mode and customization of Fire Pro Wrestling (ability to edit tendencies in addition to ratings/perks). That’d go a long way towards replayability
