Suggestion: Let fighters keep their BJJ belts Suggestions Description: Once you earned a BJJ belt it should never go back down to a lower belt even if the BJJ primary decreases. That is really the main one, but I can think of a couple related things while you are anyway in this part of the code. Add some extra secondary requirements for black belts, like having at least something in submissions. And red belts are not a thing for active fighters, rather an honorary rank for the "old and wise". Put in an age requirement like 40+ and if you still qualify for black belt at that age you get the red. It would be more of a roleplaying thing. Maybe add a manager trophy for earning a red belt for your fighter. Pros: Realism, stripping belts are not done irl even when skill declines. Roleplaying, players don't like seeing their fighters robbed of belts they earned. Could make scouting fighters a little more interesting. Cons: Does make it slightly harder to judge someones real grappling skill, especially an older fighter and could maybe give an unfair advantage to org owners that way as they can still see the skill based star rating.. i guess, had to try to come up with something.

It sounds nice and ideally I would like to have it built into the game itself like that. But it also has some cons: Development time that could be spent on other things, since we have the forums for now. Less flexibility, if we decide we want some new award or drop one that is no longer relevant it may not be as easy to do and since any major change now requires development time that may not be available. And given that there are some major changes planned for the game I could see that we may want some changes to the awards also depending on how the game changes. So while I do actually want this I think it would be better to wait and maybe do it later.

There is a suggestion section, if you can get 15 reactions on it there it would be the first change to trigger a notification to Mike and Vlad, maybe give it a go?

Manager ID: 122462 Bug: Forum dark mode icons hard to see Bug Description: The new icons on the forum main page are always black and becomes hard to see against the dark mode background. Maybe invert to a lighter colour in dark mode? Bug Severity: Low Steps to Recreate: Switch to dark mode, go check read and unread versions.

I was keeping my suggestion as small as I could here, but if we are free to make wishes I agree some way to have orgs at different tiers would be the ideal way to do it. Never thought of having different hype tiers as well but interesting idea. If there is no connection at all between the hype levels couldn't you end up with some long-cooked guy that has very little hype at the lower levels but after a long career is high on prime hype. If he then goes back to lower levels after retiring from the "UFC" level org it would be weird if the game handles him as a nobody with no lower level hype. Or would there be a hard requirement on a certain hype level at the previous level before a higher tier org can sign him? If there is also a redesign of org structure and fighter hype on the table I think manager hype redesign has to wait and depend on what is done with the fighters.

This sounds great, maybe the only viable way forward to have this game prosper again instead of dying. I've been saying Mike should sell the game rather than have it die, happy to see a solution where he is still around. Technical improvements, ok nice. But what is your vision on overall game design? And working on all the code especially the fight engine, does that mean your days as a player is over?

Suggestion: Manager rank weighting Suggestions Description: I believe this is still relevant so reposting: I'm recently back from a 2-year break. My rank went from nothing to currently #65 from mostly doing QFC and some id org fights with my new guys. It honestly feels silly that I should even be in the top 100 just from this. Got me thinking, what if change in manager rank was weighted by the rank of the org you are fighting in? You still always get some hype from a win, but make it maybe 10 times smaller on the bottom end. Should mean you practically have to be successful in bigger orgs to get into the top 10 and the rise to there will be slower. But it also means top ranked managers don't need to be as nervous about doing QFC testing or playing around in tournaments for fun. Pros: We will have fights at different levels were the big org fights become more important to managers. Cons: Will take longer to reach the top in manager rank for new players.

Camara was just a common cheater and a troll. At best he was mediocre at it like everything else he did, not sure he managed anything worthy of the scandal HoF.

Balder Bull: Hung Takedo, WTF does that mean? All I can think is hung like Chuck Norris or like a horse you know.. but a Takedo? Must be one of those BJJ names they got for all their gay moves. I don't even wanna know what it means, I'm not having any of that, gonna knock this guy out before he tries anything weird.

Didn't notice there was a poll until reading that comment, would maybe get more attention to make a separate thread for the poll with a short description of the options.

Would be nice to have things like this in in some way. But even better if it were not totally random I think. Like tied some personality hidden that makes some fighters more likely to be involved.

No that is not normal, I recommend you send a PM to the game owner, this guy to let him know it did not start for you: https://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=155

I always thought that was the idea and I actually like having some randomness and bad decisions in there just like irl.

I have no tournament ideas, but I have free slots right now..

Ouch, never seen anyone do that when i bought laundry myself. I will just send one big transfer. Buy from Toshi instead if you want max efficiency.

I don't have much experience with these things, but I think I could offer close to 2mil right now. Would prefer someone who can buy all of it.

Super Macho Man: 4 tournament matches, still haven't tapped and not planning to.

I was away for most of the year, but when I came back CK seemed to be sitting pretty much unchallenged in that #1 spot so he should maybe be in the run?

Yes it sucks when you just want to get some new fights and the game is moving slow. But then I sometimes also have other things to do than micromanage my tycoon guys. Imagine missing to set training for a week or two and your guy miss 6 months of development How would it work with skill depops? If you only increase training speed to such levels it would overtake depops and we will see 60+ seniors rule open id. Or if you decrease depops to the same level guys who went without a fight for a couple weeks won't even remember how to put their gloves on, forget picking up FA:s. And yes no more 25yo:s since the 18 guys would catch up in just a couple weeks. Energy loss may need to be adjusted as well. I think it is not as easy as just increase the training speed and live happily ever after.. which is probably why it hasn't been done yet.

Has it ups and downs. I came back a while ago and sometimes I feel things are too slow. But a lot of it is not really the training speed. I'm ok with the slow pace of the game as long as the community is active. But less people around makes everything feel more drawn out. The lack of good id orgs for new fighters before 400K made me wish I had some open id fighters and contributes to the feeling that the road to get there is too long. Increase training speed, sure could fix part of the problem, possibly create some new ones. But the real problem in my opinion is not having enough active players around.

Balder Bull Jr: Oh they used to do just that. Back when some Tokyo orgs were running fixed fights and a fighter didn't follow through on the agreement.. heard some stories from my father. Not that it happened to him, took his dives when he had to.. lucky for me I guess or I wouldn't be here now.

And you never know, could be another tournament in the next couple months

The skill gap between 400 - 402K is much smaller compared to 398 - 400K. We had a lot of fighters created on the id turn and then we also had Island season started. I think you can still make guys that are viable at 400K and we should not break this id up. I rather not have the same thing again as with all the 397, 398, 399K etc. orgs falling apart.

Isn't the owner the same guy who did some dev work on the game a while back? Definitely sounds like a bug, maybe he was testing something with his own org.
