Guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 Excuse the poor grammar..."from 13 weeks to 8 weeks" I think this was originally proposed by Mike back when we changed from 16 to 13. I'm not necessarily looking to change the game from MMA Tycoon to Turbo Tycoon, but I think the change would make the game more appealing as well as satisfy some complaints. If the game speed were brought up, and training speed brought in line with those changes, newer fighters will be competitive sooner, and there will be a much larger turnover in the rankings as the older fighters will fade away faster. I think this would still allow fighters to have a lengthy career...as let's just say hypothetically massive deterioration happens by age 36...if you make an 18 year old, he would have a solid game life of 144 weeks, which is pretty close to 3 years. Even current 30 year olds would have another year. We would also have more fights. Maybe instead of a month between fights we're now down to three weeks in between fights, and who wouldn't be excited to fight more often? I think it would still be a lengthy fight career, assuming we use the same model and a fighter were to fight till he were 36 or so, he would have 48 fights...give or take which sounds pretty realistic to me. Just a suggestion, and I'm totally willing to hear someone out if they see holes in the idea. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 31, 2011 Report Share Posted October 31, 2011 I was thinking this myself actually the other day. If people want age based deterioration then it can't be 4 years real time from creation as that turnover is simply too slow Still in favour of hidden tickers of a sort but a speed up in ageing would be a viable solution in my opinion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBR Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 its almost impossible to get fights every 3 weeks -- i have been trying and trying to get fights every two to three weeks and orgs just cant do it -- i wouldnt mind speeding up some but taking 5 weeks away is pretty big -- maybe drop to 11 or 12 and after some time review where we are at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Was actually going to post a poll about this myself. I would quite like to cut 2 real life weeks off a year. May well post an official poll when I've had a bit more of a think about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBR Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 yea i think 2 wks would be better if your going to do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j666 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 agreed...either way...it needs to be sped up a bit so some type of decline can happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRedDude Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I love how fast changes come about in this game compared to others, yet again another great idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvec88 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 This idea scares me. If we do this I feel like we should add more slots than 10 fights to a fight card. When I ran CCL and had 150 fighters with one card a week, it was impossible to get them all fights in a month. This is only going to make that even worse as everyone's going to want to fight sooner now because decline will come quicker. Maybe we can go from 10 fights on a card to 15?

Nemesis84 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I know I will swim against the tide here and I am not calling for it to be brought back but I actually prefered the longer game years then the current 13 weeks. I can see the reason behind shortening the game year but like was said something would need to be done to get more fights happening in Orgs to go along with it or your unless you just do QFC's your whple career gone will be the days of fighters having 30+ fights by the time they come to their end.

Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 I prefer the slower approach, but slowing up aging won't kill me either way. Consider me on the fence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringfinger Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 Speeding things up a little wouldn't hurt. I really do like the slow approach that this game takes though. Just don't make it like mmarmy where I would forget to log on for a couple weeks and realize that all my fighters had retired. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is only going to make that even worse as everyone's going to want to fight sooner now because decline will come quicker. Maybe we can go from 10 fights on a card to 15? Why would speeding up the year effect the size of the fight card? A weekly event equals 4 fights a month each with 20 fighters for a total of 80 spots. If you had 150 fighters, they would have been fighting once every 2 months!!! Any reason you didn't do 2 fights per week? As a new org owner the only way I would want the fight card increased is if there was no penalties for not filling the card. With 75+ fighters I am currently running weekly events, and it always seems I need to find a fighter on short notice to fill that one last spot due to inactivity etc. If the card was raised to 15, I would have to increase the fighter pool to 120ish to continue doing weekly cards, and with 10 extra spots each week I would guess I would be looking for more than 1 fighter on short notice each week for one reason or another. IMHO filling a 10 fight card is enough work, if I needed to fill 15 I would add a second fight every second week, if I needed to fill 20 I would do 2 fights each week.

sabaton Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 If the current year is 13 weeks i'd rather see it cut to 10 weeks than to 11. I thought it was 12 weeks myself. 13 and 11 just seem odd for a year length. Although I can understand 13x4=52weeks/year. But 11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If te number of fights per card goes up and the penalty remanins for not filling a card, new orgs are going to be devestated, its already hard enough to fill cards regularly when you start a new org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvec88 Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's fine. I wouldn't expect a penalty but I had to sell CCL because I didn't have time for all the maintenance. To add another card on top of that wouldn't have been an option. And I understand for a start up but for organization with 150 to 200 active fighters... speeding things up will be hard. Fighters won't want to wait 30 or 35 days to fight. It's just not a good thing for an established large organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 1, 2011 Report Share Posted November 1, 2011 i will say that i would like it slowed down if anything , speeding it up ? what happens if your fighter i injured for 14 days or cut ? the only thing i can see happening is fighters will retire a lot quicker , its hard enough to get fights every month now , also consider not many people like signing for more than 30 days inactivity , i can see a lot of fighters walking out of contracts due to inactivity. changes are great for the game as long as they are thought through. i dont like letting my fighters in the cage much before they are 22-23 now , due to the fact i think they are not ready ! a plus point i suppose would be for org owners in the fact they could consider opening K1/Grappling orgs , as fighters are just not going to have enough time to be rounded in all four skills untill thier 28-29. dont people think there have been enough changes in the game for one year ? its working well at the momment to leave it for a while 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 6, 2011 Report Share Posted November 6, 2011 How can someone sit on a fighter for a real life year? I definitely see why my fighters don't have much in the way of skills. Also, about the orgs not having enough fight slots to give their fighters fights, why be greedy and ask for more fights? Start sharing all that talent you have contracted.

DeadlyDirk Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 As somebody else mentioned, as long as cuts and injuries were reduced by the same percentage then I think this would probably be a good idea for the game in general. I've been in the game for probably a little under 18 months and a lot of my Day 1 created fighters are still rapidly improving and probably have another 12-18 months or so to go where they can still improve without even worrying too much about maintenance as long as I pay attention to it. Now to be honest I'm fine with that and I don't mind the long progression and steady improvement but somewhere around 3 years until a fighter gets to their peak is a pretty long time for most people.

Grey Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 I'd like to see energy recovery time sped up as well if this happens. It still seems silly that a tough fight can knock a fighter out of training for a full week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EzekelRAGE Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Im cool with cutting it down to 11 wks, definitly NOT feeling a cut of 5wks. Can the early stages of training be reverted back to how fast it trained prechanges if this gets implemented? Or would that counteract the 2wk cut? I also agree with others that cuts/energy etc need to be tweaked as well if it's shortened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatacre Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Bump - some issues here that I think are pretty legitimate and it's not clear whether they have been taken into account following the move to reduce the in-game year to 12 real life weeks. Key points noted in this thread are: Injury/cuts time - should be reduced slightly due to the faster game speed Recovery time after fights/flights - again, a slight reduction required due to the faster game speed Training speed - should be slightly increased (inverse of the reductions above) to enable the turnover of top talent to remain as it was going along before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb613 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think the 12 weeks that it's at now is perfect to be honest , fast enough but not scary fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
