Mike got a point it is hard to know what the community wants. 5 people being vocal about a certain issue can easily flood the forum and discord. Any plans you are not entirely sure about, why not post them in the suggestion forum yourself to get player feedback? See how the likes stack up between them. It is the closest thing to a poll we got.

Re: Your question about taking fights to the clinch against grapplers with no clinch tds if I had no clinch tdd: Absolutely. The clinch is so fundamentally broken that I'm confident I could destroy said grappler there before he got off any meaningful offense. Your suggestion on making clinch breaks much easier is a good one, but I'd also posit that clinch punches need a massive damage nerf. Right now you can fairly easily punch someone to death in the clinch even at the top level, and that shouldn't be happening at anywhere close to this frequency.   If you're actually open to feedback I (and most of the other players still remaining) would be more than happy to help. If our responses are a bit cagey and standoff-ish at first it's from being tired of yelling into the void.

@MMATycoon Nice to read you’re doing well and much happier for a change, mate.  Any change or updates are good at this point, and the separate skill cap for physicals is a good thing. Don't mind the new skills etc, you’ve always been decent at balancing the game previously and we’re still playing it. Only caveat for me is really the front-end developing of MMATycoon. Would be good idea to get some quotes just for a ballpark idea, you could be making way more money off this than at you do at the moment.

I don't think well rounded builds work at all. Just specializing in one skill [striking, clinching or grappling], and getting to Elite [15] Elite [15] Elite [15] as quick as possible. As far as "secret gimmick" the only thing I can think of is having a combination of knees and submissions. Knees to the body to wear down your opponent and them submissions after pulling guard when the opponent gets tired. What I learned from that experiment is It increases the chance of getting a submission. Though it doesn't work as much vs maxed out builds. I had a former fighting doing this vs ID organizations in the past and it worked pretty well until he transitioned to non ID orgs. https://www.mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=1018441

I get my first submission win and they're changing the game 😭
