This happened to ALL of my Sparring Dummies. I got no helpful response here, so I sent Mike a PM with the details and he sort of fixed the money (they have a balance of $200 instead of $200.01, but that penny is very important) but I cannot get my Sparring Dummies back into my Gym because I don't have the money to cover Gym Fees. My Gym Members are paying the price through no fault of my own. I am becoming more and more disgruntled with this game every day, so I think I should just cut my losses. Having paid for VIP and all of the extra Fighter slots, this has been an expensive lesson. Good luck! Mike

OUT 19 Aug, 2010 $400 (Gym Fees) to Fightworld Fundamentals $ -199.99 IN 18 Aug, 2010 $40 (Donation) from Michael Mazzafro $ 600.01 IN 18 Aug, 2010 $360 (Sponsorship) from Fightworld Formula $ 560.01 OUT 12 Aug, 2010 $400 (Gym Fees) to Fightworld Fundamentals $ 200.01 OUT 05 Aug, 2010 $400 (Gym Fees) to Fightworld Fundamentals $ 600.01 600.01 -400 is not -199.99 I think you can tell that I know how training fees work. And I won't have the $200 to get them back into the Gym, sigh.

Is this still being fixed? I have a lot of fighters with negative balances.

For the next 3-4 Weeks, we have brought in a Part Time Dummy to offer 3 more weekly Sessions. If you have an Amsterdam Fighter, be sure to check out what we have to offer. Good luck! Mike

Pantera - 5 Minutes Alone btw I love how you specified 1 song and listed 2 tsk

I've been a Registered Republican since 2000, but only because I wanted my vote to count. Good luck! Mike

Diminishing returns occur with back to back Sparring of the Same Primary or 3 consecutive Sparring Sessions of any Primary. Good luck! Mike

We still have 14 Classes with 1 Member and 1 Class with 0 Members. Good luck! Mike

Sparring gives you benefits of the AVERAGE of your Sparring Partners. Obviously, the best opportunity would be 1:1 with someone much higher rated than your fighter. If you have a low Primary, any Sparring would be beneficial. Larger Classes are fine for low Primaries because you are almost guaranteed a higher AVERAGE of Sparring Partners. Good luck! Mike

If you have a fighter in Amsterdam, there is no better time to check out SPARdio Systems! Moday AM - Thursday PM will offer some great Sparring opportunities. Every Primary... Every Day (AM: Boxing, BJJ --- PM: MT, Wrestling)... will have a Sensational AND a Wonderful Sparring Dummy! On Friday AM, the Wonderfuls will be gone, but the Sensationals will still remain. That'll be 6 Weekly Sessions for every Primary with a Sensational Sparring Partner. We currently have 5 Defensive Grappling Classes with a Double 150 Elite Coach with a Class Size of ZERO! Quality 150 Elite CT Classes are also available and ALL of our Class Sizes are currently at 3, or less. Come check us out, you won't regret it. Good luck! Mike

My rule of thumb: Part Time Training during 1st week of creation. The 6 Sessions are all Cardio in a cheap Pristine/Brand New Gym. Depending on your Supplements and Pops, you may want to continue Part Time for a second Week. No Training on the day of a Friday or Saturday Fight. Remember, you can only change your Training Intensity once a week, this resets on Sunday. So, if you're on No Training the day of a fight, do not switch back until your Energy has been recovered, you'll be receiving the money during your entire recovery. If you finish the fight early and aren't hit by much Energy loss, just switch back to Full Time Training on Sunday, after 11pm GMT Good luck! Mike

I would like a way to change into a fresher piece of clothing without having to throw away the same item, if I have multiples. Good luck! Mike

Amsterdam has a great Sparring/CT/DefGrap Gym, ideal for newer fighters, click the banner in my sig for more info. Good luck! Mike

It seems that the primary concern prompting Sparring improvements is lower rated fighters bringing the Session average down. What if lower level fighters did not participate in the Session but observed and studied the Sessions of the more skilled participants? Fighters Useless - Feeble (alter for game balance, if necessary) do not count toward the Session Average but do receive Sparring benefits by attending. It could also be augmented to have less energy loss but less return. This is just a rough idea and I don't know how easy it would be to implement, but I do think that it addresses a concern. Thoughts? Good luck! Mike

If there's enough interest to get this to 32 Managers, I'd be happy to participate. Good luck! Mike

I've been putting my new fighters on Part Time Training for the first week and doing back to back Cardio on the 3 Days that I get. It'll net you $200 and keep your Energy up. It is most effective to create your fighters on Thursdays, after Gym Fees have been paid (10:55pm GMT), but before Friday AM Training Sessions go off (9am GMT). I made up a guide that focuses on Training and some General Info if it helps anyone: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AUB588xM...mJkbQ&hl=en It has already been mentioned, but the FIRST thing that any Fighter should do is get out of Cozad! Good luck! Mike

I made a MMATycoon group for anyone interested: http://games.espn.go.com/mmalive/en/group?groupID=575 Think you can pick the winners? Good luck! Mike

47 of our 60 Weekly Elite Classes are at three (or fewer) Members. With only one of the 60 Classes being at five Members (and none above), the best Circuit Training and Defensive Grappling Classes in Amsterdam are available for your Fighter(s). With a hard cap at 50, there are only FOUR spots, so now is the time to check us out! Our CT Coaches are 150 Elite and our Defensive Grappling Coaches are 150 Double Elite. Remember, we have six Weekly Sparring Sessions with a dedicated Exceptional Partner for every Primary. Good luck! Mike

Only 3 of our 60 Weekly Elite Sessions are at 5 Members, the other 57 are Smaller! Good luck! Mike

I love the way you back up your opinion with logic and reasoning. Why would being able to increase Sparring effectiveness be a bad thing? If we could see who was participating (before or after) a Sparring Session, we could bolster our Sparring Sessions, but this idea was shot down. I was suggesting another way to get this done. If you disagree with something, try to be more constructive than just being negative. Good luck! Mike

Feel free to add elements from my guide, which focuses more on training, than anything: http://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AUB588xM...mJkbQ&hl=en Good luck! Mike
