MMATycoon Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 In order to speed up the process of clearing the free agent list, we will be allocating fighters who have bids on them already, every 12 or so hours. This will clear the top free agents and let managers who were unsucessful with fighter bids have another look at the list to see if there is anyone else they might like to pick up. New users to the game, please try picking up some of the 2-0 sort of level guys, many of whom will be in established orgs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBR Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 good deal -- waiting to see if i get any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 First run of this will be when I get up tomorrow I think - I don't want to do it now because people might have been waiting til the day before the free agents run out to make their picks and also, just in case anything goes wrong then I'd rather that doesnt happen at 1am... not that it will as I've spent most of today double checking the FA list code.

Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 So by this time tomorrow we should know if we have our picks? Good idea, if I dont get my picks I can just make my own then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Received my "drafted" fighter a couple of hours ago. Didn't read the sticky prior to that, so was kinda surprised. : ) Was sure fighter had ~150 hours as FA at that moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Yeah, I ran a tester with fighter IDs under 3000. I saw you got a 7-0 guy - I was checking that one out to test it all worked OK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I had my eyes on that guy, but I waited too long.. Congratulations, he's a monster Thanks! : ) Also, he came as an "extra-slot" fighter, so it presumably works fine now. Go grab your extra slots, gentlemen.

Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 This is a great idea! Now I can go after some of the top tier guys that I want, and if I don't get them, I still get a chance at some 2nd tier guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBK Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 some got their new FA when they still had 5 days...I have a FA that have 4 days to wait? how is this process happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 some got their new FA when they still had 5 days...I have a FA that have 4 days to wait? how is this process happening? I'm pretty sure he's manually doing it every 12 hours, meaning you can disregard the time remaining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I just ran a test on a selection - tomorrow when I get up, I'll run a sweep through the whole FA list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnySep Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Shot in the dark here... is there anyway that we can reduce the cut time so that managers with full rosters can get rid of some weak spots to bid on the current crazy batch of FAs?

Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 I'm keeping my fingers crossed, hope I can pick up someone good! Glad to see this game has such a pro-active staff behind it :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Bummer, I was thinking of picking up Santiago--he had like 3 days left, and I come on tonight and he's gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backelie Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Crap. I have 16 fightes short listed, not sure which of them I want yet, and haven't bought the extra slots needed yet either, since I figured I would have plenty of time to do that. Edit: Bought new slots, narrowed the list down, hopefully I'm good, but I think it's total crap to change expiration times up on very short notice like this.

Eleventhsun Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 ya so i didn't get any FAs. Deleted guys and stuff, but guys who already have the best fighters in the game got them too. So all I see this multi gate has done is basically made the highest ranked managers even higher, and on top of the fact that they win all the time, now they just got free 10-0,9-0,7-0 etc fighters. Lame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 First run through is now done. Some people will be happy, some won't, as usual. If you didn't get who you wanted have another look and see if there is anyone good left. I'm looking at who got who now and some people with zero hype got decent fighters so there you go... Eleventhsun - if you got nobody then you were aiming too high. Of course all the top managers are going to go for the top fighters - it goes without saying - but you could have quite easily picked up some good guys.

Eleventhsun - if you got nobody then you were aiming too high. Of course all the top managers are going to go for the top fighters - it goes without saying - but you could have quite easily picked up some good guys. I had quite a few guys on my shortlist. I forgot I did get the guy who was signed to my org, thankfully his hype was only like 62 so none of the best guys saw him. I dunno, I don't think I'm the only one who saw multi gate as worse for the majority, than having to possibly be playing with guys with hidden accounts, I would have much rather been ignorant to the fact that top managers had 2nd accounts with top fighters, rather than it being right in the open, seeing top 10 managers, become even more elite. Oh well its just like the real world, the rich get richer while ...well you know the story. One thing I can be thankful about is that of all the NY orgs, I'm sure I had the least guys in my org go FA on me. Def thankful of my managers for being legit!

MMATycoon Posted September 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 At 85th ranked, you could have picked up several 6-0, 6-1 guys. Anyway, if you didn't get who you wanted guys, bad luck but keep your eyes peeled. There are some 5-0 guys on the list right now and I might go hunting later today if I can be bothered (bit tired of deleting people at the moment), so people will get added all the time, just obviously not in the same quantity.

I put a few more on there, I guess its not that big a deal making your own fighters is probably more rewarding when they do well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Got nobody on the first cut, aimed too high Whens the second cut? And do you start with the highest hyped guys and go downwards, or is it just any order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
