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.

You should get commission, this thread made me buy the game. I'm just playing with the default database, so GAMMA and ALPHA-1 ( supposed to be like UFC and PRIDE ).

I'm playing as ALPHA-1 and it's super fun, easily sunk over 20 hours already and love planning the events/building hype for fighters and seeing them succeed or fail. The default database has so many colorful characters too that are very similar to popular icons from that time ( Palmer Lette is basically Bob Sapp ).

I signed a bunch of bantamweights and featherweights and threw them into a combined weight class to fight for the belt ( will eventually split it into 135 and 145 )

I also started a womens division, super fun game. I'm gonna finish this run with ALPHA-1 and then do GAMMA, after that i'll experiment with the mods more.

I really like the mod cuz it's easier to remember things. oh ONE Championship stole my Japanese fighter? I can understand that. Oh i got Hellboy to main my show? I can understand why.

I just put on the greatest event in London, infront of 146 people..... Now I have 31$ in my company account.

Btw it’s definitely possible to add tendencies in the form of Attributes. I’m a modder for the game and I’ve made a balanced expansion for the base game where fighters behave how i want them to behave. A pity you haven’t got full control over talent level but then again it makes every game different.

I’m preying there can be a community-wide effort to improve the UFC/real mod. But it’s such a monumental task that it pains me to even think about it.

I think it was the second version that I really got caught up with. I was running the game’s version of the UFC and I was trying to sign the game’s version of Fedor who was fighting in Japan and I couldn’t get the deal done. I remember being furious. Lol. Like legit angry that he kept turning down my deals.

Haha, I don't have too many issues with the game yet. One thing is maybe some of the fighters can be divas and won't fight deserving high ranked guys because they're not a big enough draw.

I haven't had trouble signing anyone except the #1 Featherweight Philip Ziskie, he basically said F me and went off to GAMMA ( UFC ) to dominate there


Their fame is also relative to the region they are fighting in, I believe.

So I'm definitely thinking of getting this.

It says 1-8 players can play. Is this online? I would love to compete against y'all trying to build the best organization.

I don't think so. You'd have to pass a savefile around like it's 1999.

Having fun so far!

I'm so poor. Company is -8000$ in the red every month. We're not making enough money on these small quality shows. I go to Extreme Sport begging for a TV Deal, we need to keep the ship afloat.
they come back 4 days later with a no.

I'm dying here. I call in FITE TV, only station that will even take my calls.

Wait... I got it?? They're shaking my hand? I got a TV deal? just like that? thank you, sweet baby Jesus.

7 PPV show contract. First one is in Holland. 4 fights, quality is mediocre, but it will do.
45 000$ on the PPV buys! Thank god! thank god! I'm rich!

Wait? what's this?

-77 000$ production cost.

I'm losing money on this TV deal?? I'm 40 000$ in debt?? This TV Deal is the end of me!

Its not online but I think its similar to most text sim games. For about 2 years, I played an text sim called Front Office Football with a bunch of people from OS. I was the commish for a while.

What you do is you post the league file, each player makes changes (in WMMA's case, books fights and negotiates) and sends the file back to the commish. The commish then uploads all of the files into the game and runs a sim once or twice a week.
