That's what I figured I think perhaps the idea that raising secondaries helps raise primaries might have gotten transmogrified into this idea by someone at some point.

Doug "Flatliner" Wilson needs a contract since the org that moved him down to Rio closed. Prefer 250k+

Define Brazilian background like Christo Redentor or a Brazilian Flag.

Gym looks pretty solid for young fighters if I had any guys based out of London I would join your gym. You might consider search for fighters in London with hype 10-50. Should give you a list of young fighters who are likely in need of your gym that you can then pm about joining up.

Not sure any learning speed increase would be worth it due to the fact that spreading points just means it takes a lot more session to raise things than maxing as many as possible.

You may want to consider hiring Elite Coaches only for things you intend to train and then when you find yourself unable to train a certain thing as you like, add more. That should at least reduce any losses on coaches not being used frequently enough.

On the topic of the poll, secondaries raise primaries and primaries raise both secondaries and related physicals, but do physicals raise related secondaries and primaries?

VFW would be glad to partner with your island clothing store and supply some designs. I'll PM you more info.

This would be an incredible idea. +1

Maybe giving people private gyms is not the right answer but increasing the profits on gyms a bit might be good. I think one thing to consider is that private gyms right now are not profitable (gyms with a low fighter/coach ratio). I feel a bit like a peasant because I've never used a private gym but when I considered giving up my clothing store for one it seemed silly because I won't make enough to support it. However if you do open the gym up to where it becomes profitable its usually not a place you want to train your guy at so much anymore (no 1-1 sessions). In real life coaches do one-on-one training sessions between the two dailies done at most gyms. What about allowing private gyms to set a solo session price and it's open to anyone for a mid-day training session which costs a fixed price (maybe $500 tycoon bucks). This would open up the ability to spend a flat $500 to test learning speed on a fighter 100% safe that no one will gatecrash the session.

Agreed, now if only I could shut off sponsorship accepted mails.

That was my take as well Mogan, I think the concern that others might have had with the idea was limitless potential. 10-20 points unlockable via maintaining morale could be a nice twist. It would definitely make the issue of "do I sac this 18 year old with no outstanding hiddens and a good learning speed?" a lot more interesting.

Just spit-balling on the original idea here. I don't think learning speed should be able to improve. However things where a psychological influence could be present could be cool. I wouldn't make it improve over time I would have their initial value in Heart, Confidence, & KO Power. These two things can both be effected by psychological factors pretty heavily. This way if you keep the guys morale up for a long period of time it simulates helping him work through some psychological issue and reach his full potential. Example: Bryan Caraway, when he was on TUF it was pretty obvious he lacked confidence. As for heart and KO Power. I think heart is a very mental thing and someone could become more mentally resolved. KO Power may be a psychological issue with hurting other people, Roxanne Modaferri comes to mind. I don't think any of this is near a final form but something to discuss.

I believe he's saying something like you get a pm from a coach. Coach John Schmoe: "I just got done working with Fighter Name on punches and I think the kid has some real power, he's been so inside his head worrying about technique but once we got him to throw it out and just release his power really came through." I like the idea hiddens are fixed. However this is quite an interesting idea and there are plenty of real life examples of guys who come in at half potential and then sync up with a new coach who is able to pull the hidden talent out of them. If it were me though I would tie it to maintaining a high level of morale 95%+ for a semi-random range of time. With losses factoring into morale loss it would essentially require managers to manage the fighter to success in order to bring out their full potential.

I've got a GnP guy facing a high BJJ guy and one strategy suggested to me was take him down and then get back up looking to outscore with TDs. I was thinking it would be really nice if there was a checkbox to set stick position to override the get up/stay on the ground slider. In that situation one could set side control (relatively safe from bottom subs) as a stick position and that way a fighter could be set to shoot takedowns but get up anytime they land in anything other than side control.

It seems folks train projects in their own way, I'm simply trying to establish a consensus. I've read posts from some managers that say learning speed effects physicals so they train those first. I've also read posts from other managers that say physicals train at the same speed regardless of age and because secondaries raise primaries they train those first.

I like this idea a lot, however this will not stop people from doing the same thing they are currently doing.

Indeed I realized the error of my ways, his learning speed was 1.95 + 1.95 = 3.9. I had somehow convinced myself that the learning speed was their score after the first training - 1.95 for the actual gain. The nice thing is that most of my guys are actually decent learners unlike I thought. Still got one bad egg and he's only popped tends to cut anyways.

NEW AVATARS! These are my first stab at the photorealistic avatar market. All are for sale. http://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg537/fenixink/braveheart.pnghttp://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg537/fenixink/spartacus.pnghttp://i1242.photobucket.com/albums/gg537/fenixink/fightclub.png

Bump because I have money to give away as well as news of things to come. 5 more $500, 30 day, 20% discount sponsorships to give away just post a fighterID. These sponsorships are one per manager but if you have other fighters pm me their ids and I'll see what I can do for them. In 2 weeks time the month will end, and my mistake of buying my monthly order limit of old designs will be done. VFW will be launching some totally new styles of apparel. Our first new line will be a little something for the Jiu-Jistu vikings.
