What are you going to do with the game first?

[ripwalk]

What's the first thing you plan to do with WMMA3?

Also, what's the first league you plan to take over or run?

Myself personally, in WMMA2 I created a league from scratch and built it from the ground up, which I found a lot of fun.

I might do something similar in WMMA3. I also want to perhaps run a Bellator-style promotion with a lot of tournaments. I'm not sure how easy such a thing would be to run in WMMA, but I might give that a shot.

[Nephrinn]

I've always had a thing for the Japanese side of MMA, so I'll likely go with ALPHA-1 first and see how things have changed and who's champ (maybe Adam will give Fezzik his first loss in light of Fedor losing :P).

[1234]

GAMMA if they are still in the game.

Was the only real game I had on WMMA2, and want to see how I can re-create it in 3. Will Buddy Garner be able to drop down to Welterweight and dominate again? Who(if anyone) will stop Fezzik, Li Kong-Ho, Buddy Garner or Yamada. Will Carlos Da Guia be able to last in the cage this time (he was 2-5 for me).

So many questions need to be answered.

[xspudx]

Clearing out the database. Resetting all the records, setting it back to 1990, starting with Victory Fighting League, make 8 man tournaments for the fighting pride for lightweights, middleweights, heavyweights for the first 5 years. Then go from there. This game makes it so much easier to do that, I cannot wait. And hopefully every fight doesn't end with SYLVESTER COLLINS WITH A TAKEDOWN. HE MOUNTS, HE GETS A SUBMISSION. That guy's a bull.

On the one hand I see it, but I hope not. Because I always like to see who give it to him first.

+1 But I have yet to do it in a match I booked

[grits207]

For my first game I will use whichever promotion is ranked #1 at the start of the game.

The first thing I will do is try to get a feel for how the game world has changed since WMMA 2. I'll likely look at every AI companies roster, look at the rankings and decide which fighters I want to build up etc. This should be much more difficult than in previous WMMA games because the new Fog of War feature will make it tougher to separate the good prospects from the bad ones at the start of the game.

I heard you'll be able to import your games, I have a game thath as lasted for 15 years which im planning to continue in a new and improved engine.

[Egnuldt]

Can WMMA3 run on linux OS?
My computer I have with me (in college) is a linux, but I left my other computer at home, and I wont go back until X-mas break.

I mean.. I leave back home 1 week after the release date, so I can always get it then, but... ahh, I have to have it on the 11th!!! lol.

But yea, I will probably play with GAMMA... and play non-stop during the break as always.

[Adam Ryland]

I've no idea where you got that from - the only place giving info on WMMA3 is this forum, and it specifically says that you won't be able to import games in the very first FAQ post of the journal.

[Pogo92]

I'll probably start up a game as Alpha-1, play them for a while, and if all goes well I'll branch off and start my own promotion (Or takeover a small org and build it up).

[mtimmins]

I started a completely unknown company based in California in WMMA2, playing for a few years. I got to International pretty fast.

Spencer Rubenstein dominated my Light Heavyweight Division, which is my favourite weight class, both in real life and in WMMA. I remember Rubenstein got to Low Level International when I was still high Regional though, lol. He was so dominating, people knew of him, even though he was only having matches infront of ~500 people in California, and only about 20000 people buying it on PPV. :-\

I think I will do it again in WMMA3, and maybe make a dynasty out of it to keep it entertaining. I'm not the biggest WMMA know-it-all, but it should atleast be fun.

One of my favourite features so far is strategic growth, man was it annoying going from having 3-5 people able to main event PPVs in each weight class, to having none, and they can all main event TV shows, and all the former TV Show main event level fighters are now shoved to being undercard scrubs. :(

[mattman1624]

I'll be running whatever promotion Phillip Ziskie is apart of. I ran a couple of games with XCC in WMMA 2, and he was a dominant fighter in the promotion.

Yes, sad but true. Forwards compatability would be a great addition/feature for a future game though, as I am also really attached to my WMMA2 world.

[TakerNGN74]

I am hoping that there will be a few new promotions in the game if not at least one.

[curtains]

Yeah I stopped playing 2 months ago since I knew around December I'd be quitting anyway.

[BHK1978]

I am plan on playing with whatever promotion Luke Hilton is in. If he is a free agent...well them I am not sure. I just hope he returns to his WMMA1 form.

[Capelli King]

I am hoping that there will be a few new promotions in the game if not at least one.

A few? I am hoping we will get at 5-6 new companies and at least 20-30% more male fighters. The small database was easily one of the weak points of WMMA2.

I personally will play with GAMMA, usually i stick with them

I disagree. I think it was a great size for me with enough top talent & filler for each company. It could have used some future fighters to extend the games life, but I loved the database.

[Afroduck]

If there is more depth in the lighterweight classes I will probably try and run KDMFC again.I had fun in WMMA 2 for a while but there just wasn't enough fighters to keep going.

I forget, and since it's 5 pages long, does anyone remember if it was announced that you could randomly add fighters to the game world (as opposed to manually editing them in one at a time as you have to now?).

In any case if you can add fighters without it taking 5 minutes per fighter, I might just start with a fictional world and lots of random fighters in different weight classes. If not, then I'm done trying to devote 5-10 hours just to create one universe with a decent number of fighters, and will probably just stick to the default.

You could always just add some fictional characters to the default data. Thats what i have done, besides using modern warriors mod.

[Tag01]

I'll be modding Modern Warriors from the start. :) then I'll be playing modern warriors, probably as Bellator.

[weidt]

1. Create a new skin in my usual style.
2. Start a new game and play around to get a feel for how the new features work.
3. Create a new database similar to my Fresh Start mod, but no renders, nor original fighters included.
4. Play my mod.

I could of sworn it said the exact opposite, my bad.

[petecrimson00]

[petecrimson00]

[ShaunGBD]

Im excited because I got 70 bucks today so I can get the game when it comes out. (Im 16)
Now I just have to transfer it to paypal.

[D16NJD16]

There isn't much to do for me until someone releases a real world mod. If I buy the game before then, I'll play around with it and check out the features, but not much else.

That's the one good thing about not knowing much about MMA irl excepting being a casual viewer of UFC.

Either way more often than not I'm gonna be like, who is this guy. :o

I've gotten some fighters I like in the default data now, especially when running a company going from Unknown to International. Spencer Rubenstein was a dominator in my Light Heavyweight Division, April Watson was good in my Women's division being the only Woman I've gotten to National in name value, Tora Mizwar is undefeated so far in 2002 and is my Middleweight Champion, Tetsuji Myojin is in my Middleweight division and his only loss is to Tora, maybe a rematch is in the works, well one would be if I wasn't waiting for WMMA3. :o

[mitze90]

Other than wait patiently for a real world mod? I'm not sure, in the last one I set regens to appear 0-0 and signed only them, then built them up until another promotion took an interest then let them go. But with the new way low tier fighters get matches, I'm not to sure.

[BlizzardVeers]

I will probably clean up the database to my liking, revert it back to 1993, clear all records, create a few custom guys to spawn and have fun creating my own MMA history like I did with WMMA2. :D

[kje3334]

Probably will play a game with the default database until a real-world stat update comes out. Being that I am only a casual fan trying to learn as much as possible, either works for me.

I was planning on doing a created promotion in a real world game to compete with Strikeforce / UFC (only because I liked my promotion's name), but I am also interested in doing a Strikeforce game.

Maybe after a couple of successful games with smaller promotion's, I will try a big one like UFC.

[BigShowCollins]

Probably play as GAMMA to get a feel for the new features. Then, I might start a new promotion from scratch.

If I'm able to, I'll start an up to date UFC on WMMA2 then convert it to 3 if it's allowed.

[ShaunGBD]

I think Adam will die if he has to type this one more time, so I will say it:

You can't carry WMMA 2 saves into 3.

[ProphetX]

2 more days.... I soooo can't wait. Thanks for the early Christmas Adam!!

[BJJisLIFE]

I will play around with it for a few minutes. Then more than likely start a real world mod from scratch.

[Wade]

Stare at the title screen while tuggin the pud, of course.

[Terminal]

Check out all the new features and start up a game as GAMMA most probably.

[ShaunGBD]

Start my game with GAMMA then just play around with the new features.

[Pokerking88]

Same here. Cant wait. Im super tired, it is almost 1 am here, so I hope it is put on here soon :)

Yeah brutal torture to not put it up before bed. Also does not announcing the time really help with the refreshing? I mean I've been refreshing the website quite often for the last few hours, and I imagine I'm not alone :) It seems like it just makes the process even more drawn out! That is unless it's posted soon.. :)

Now I know what it feels like to be addicted to heroin I think...

Over here in England (where Adam is from) its only 7:20am, im expecting the game to come out around mid day.

Yeah, worst beat is that I'm coming to London in 2 days (from the U.S., not bringing computer), and won't be back until the 16th. 5 days of WMMA3 time where I can't play, and I basically have just one day to play around with the demo, so every minute counts!

[Calinks]

What are you going to do with the game first?

Something that is banned 47 of the 50 continental states, and the 2 of the other 3 are currently passing the ban in congress.

I don't know what your talking about. Here in america (If that's what your talking about) It's legal in a lot of states.

[BJJisLIFE]

Anybody wanna do a mod with me?

I would like to do a real world mod, but would not be opposed to a mod similar to Over9000-verse done by Crayon on TEW.
