  1. I likely have a different take on this, but I'm also not an org owner.

    I feel that while I understand org owners frown upon it, it's much like how employers frown upon headhunters trying to take their talent in the real world. You want to keep your talent, make them happy. I don't feel there's anything overtly wrong with orgs offering a fighter future contract discussions. The root issue isn't with the other org trying to take your talent. The decision to leave or stay is still on the fighter/manager.

  2. After the last two wins, Kilo has secured his spot as the greatest of all time. He's 38 years old and continues fighting the best the game has to offer. He's won 63 fights, all by stoppage. He's successfully defended the SYN heavyweight title 38 times. He's the SYN all-time leader in wins, KOs and finishes in general, and SYN is arguably the greatest organization of all time. 

    There are several fighters who deserve to be mentioned in GOAT discussions, but they all fall short in one way or another. The resume Kilo has built is unreal. He's the GOAT.

    Had an email message today that I had not seen before:

    <Fighter name>, had a particularly nice phone conversation with his parents today, which cheered him up no end.

    Sounds like the fighter may have gained a small morale boost, but his bar doesn't appear to have gained anything more than his clothing change would have provided.

    Perhaps it may have increased his confidence hidden?

    Anyone else seen this before & maybe has a better idea about what it does?

    I've received that one before and worried it was a reflection on low confidence. Does the fighter that got that message drop substantially in morale after a loss?

    From the Spin & Win page, there will be text appear at the bottom of the page - scroll down.

    Click on that, menu should appear, choose fighter who you want to test, approve.

    Note: IQ (intelligence test) is not the same as Learning speed, and the result you get is within a "range" rather than being an exact amount, something like being within 5-10 points either side of the true numerical value.

    Intelligence is used for determining how good a fighter is at adapting to their opponents attacks but to take advantage of high IQ you need to move the See How It Goes (SHIG) slider away from "Follow My Orders" I'd suggest starting with 95% "Follow My Orders" and check if that works out well for your fighter in their next fight, and maybe go up from there in increments of 5%  - reversing some if you are seeing too many "dumb" decisions being made.

    On the opponent predictions slider section ticking the "adapt to fight" box will need your fighter to be using some percentage of SHIG to see any benefits.

    Fighters with Low IQ you are best avoiding SHIG, they'll make stupid decisions, so you need to think for them & predict their opponents as best as you can.

    This is correct, but I believe high Intelligence also increases a fighter's ability to finish fights.

    The biggest downside in any debate for the GOAT is era's, this is by far the weakest era in terms of top level managers. Most of the best managers are old timers who are "barely plodding along", on the verge of quitting. Which means the competition at the top is a lot thinner. That is obviously not Karter's or Kilo's fault, he dominated what was put in front of him. 

    In one way I agree, but in another I don't. The current engine has it's issues, but they're minor compared to what we used to have. When I had Dustin Douglas, I took advantage of the body gas "glitch" as mush as I could. Before that, it was counter TD that was severely OP. There was also the era of spamming leg kicks to gas opponents. I feel like the top fighters now days are more legit than in those glitch eras. Maybe the manager base isn't as good overall, but the fighters and engine are as good or better.

    Shhh. Your build was really great, and it must mean whoever beat it must be really good (and handsome).

     

    But yeah I took a risk also and built a pure standup guy and then got placed in a group where every single other guy in my weight was a ground guy. RIP

    I say we start over! :D
