    I think this thing is pretty much dead now.

    I'm keeping the faith, he seemed into it so reckon there is a good reason.

    That said if he comes back i am putting forward my stable to knock out all his fighters for making me wait :twisted:

    Technically I could simulate the matches as I have the same game. I would just need to look updated rosters to get it up to date. I think I have roster from 2008 at the moment

    But maybe writing the match results, would be too much work. Then again I have much free time in work. Don’t know.

    I could try to simulate one round of matches next week or week after, if he doesn’t come pack and look how much time it does take.

    That would be cool. I guess we could cut the roster from 3 to 2 or just allow 1 or 2 fighters to fight per week to try and keep the work required down?

    I was thinking of setting up a tournament bracket on a website.

    Then we would run the fights until there was a winner.

    Maybe we could convince the MODs here to start a fantasy league and bet vCash?

    Only thing is that tournament system doesn’t really allow promoting. I thing its fun to think about future opponent and decide fighters with right styles against your guys

    Yeah but first I could run it with all the fighters, to see just how much work it is.
    To run it. I found updated rosters to it rather easily so I could try it.

    But maybe we wait first if journeyman comes back. Oh and see if people are interested to continuing this

    Either way, I think we all want (or at least I do) current versions of the fighters.

    I've got Wlad and Arreola, who are both beasts at the moment in real life, but Arreola in that game is probably the flabby 2009 version of him.

    Actually Arreolla is simulated in game by making his conditioning questionable. He comes good shapes in some matches and bad shape in others. Many overweight fighters are simulated that way.
    Every fighter in the game can come to the fight badly prepared, but change of that for someone like Wlad is minimal.

    I updated majority of fighters yesterday so they should be current versions.

    that means we'll have to start again though, Journey said the fighters develop and improve over time. For example my Wilder on journeys game is probably a good chunk better than he will be on your game (where he hasn't benefited from my awesome promotional skills :rasta)

    Hi guys, I am extremly sorry for not being here the past week or so, but my Grandfather is just out of hospital and my Nan is bed ridden at his house (stroke patient) so I've had to dedicate all spare time to running up there and doing the gardens and cleaning the house and doing shopping ect.

    If your not all too disapointed and disheartened I'll get this thing going again, continue from where we left off - but atm the fights could only run once a week I think due to current circumstances. Anyone still up for it?

    I'm sure everyone is still up for it, just concerned about what was going on 'cause we hadn't heard off you for a while. Sorry to hear about your grandparents.

    Rahman/Eastern European Prospect = Rahman brutal KO !
    Grant/Rogan I = Split Draw after 10 rounds
    Grant/Rogan II= Rogan WKO5 ;)
    Perez/Sosnowski = Perez MD12

    Im 2-1-1 against other promoters promoters, even though in my opinion it should be 4-0 baby ! Judges pamper you golden boys !

    Thats very true and they do - after his Grant fights, Rogan is now rated higher with his body punching. Glazkov also has scar tissue that opens often. Larry Olubamwio is still **** :deal:hey
