just my thoughts
1- Caf only- allowing both career and instant fighters since I plan on using instant fighters until I train my guys through career mode. If there is a massive advantage to Career cafs then make Pride the Career Caf league and UFC the insta CAF league.
2-Allow career CAFs that are UFC fighters- You can take a UFC fighter through career and as far as I know give them whatever stats or moves you want, thus making them a CAF. This would allow people to use Anderson Silva or Tito Ortiz but still remain balanced with the other CAFs. I'm basing this on this Video here

3- CAF limits on stats and overall- I would have to wait to get my hands on the game to really make up my mind on this. I suggest allow everything for stats and moves until certain obvious in-balances pop up.
4- We should use Simulation mode. I believe the ranked online play for the game will only be default and there's ALOT of people that want some kind of competitive play with simulation stats. Especially according to this post here

I don't believe the game will have a Multiplayer Fight card like EA MMA does. On the official website and on the Xbox site it claims it's only (1-2 players multiplayer). If this is the case then we couldn't stream the fights anyways. There is hope however.
UFC 3 supposedly has content sharing and it saves replays of your last 50 rounds in any mode. I'm hoping that we can download eachother's replays so we can see the fight. If not, I'm hoping we can just make the whole fight a highlight reel (maybe make them in parts like Tito vs Anderson rnd1, rnd2, ect..). I'm basing my information about content sharing and replays on this video

If we can set up a method of downloading eachother's replays I could edit the replays together using the event mode in the game to make it look like a PPV card and then upload it somewhere so people who don't own the game can see the fights. I'm really hoping we can download eachother's fighters and replay data, cause that's all I would need to set it up (wouldn't hurt if people made their own highlight reels too in the league that I can stick in before their fights).

Now my question is how many fighters per league should we allow. For EAMMA we allowed 3 per league. Regardless, I'd like to give each fighter the ability to fight in 3 weightclasses. For example, a light heavyweight can also fight in heavyweight and middleweight (one fight per event) so 1 fighter per league may be perfect especially if we get alot of new signups. Let me know guys.
I do want people to be able to have more then 1 fighter and their wins/losses based on their fighter, not their gamertag. The reason for this is it allows someone like me to take a chance and make a fighter outside of their comfort zone for instance I consider myself more of a stand up fighter in EA MMA but when I played grappler classes, I would try to take the fight to the ground. If the wins/losses are based on the player then all my fighters will have the same move set/stats since I wouldn't want to risk a loss. The current system we have now allows for people like me to experiment and others to make 3 clone fighters in different weightclasses so it appeases everyone.
Obviously if we have too many sign ups and fighters for the staff to handle then we could limit fighters to fight just in their weightclass or allow a person to use 3 cafs or 1 caf in 3 weightclasses. Ideally though I would like 3 Cafs with the ability the move them between 3 weightclasses so I'm guaranteed more fights and considering fights in UFC 3 will be shorter then EA MMA, I'm looking to get as much game time as possible. When I joined the league there was a cap of 9 CAFs per player, now with FF gone and Strikers probably fading out that means we lost 6 potential cafs. With UFC and pride we gain back those 6 cafs. I also like having 3 cafs cause it allows for me to potentially have 3 fights in one event/week as well.

I'm also completely against the stat leveler, since it negates having more then one caf. If my CAF has the same amount of points as the CAF I'm fighting, then I'm always going to fight the exact same way all the time. There would be no distinctions between my cafs aside from their move list, making it pointless, The only reason to make more then 1 caf with the stat leveler is to fight in other weight classes. A good deal of the fun I had with EA MMA was creating guys with strengths and weaknesses and using those assets against who ever I fought meaning that I went into every fight with a different mindset depending on who I was using and who I was fighting.
Charles Scott wrote:I think too we should start gauging interest for weight classes so we don't have dead weight. So guys what are some of the weight classes you're interested in participating in?
HW
LHW (1)
MW (3)
WW (2)
LW (1)
FW (2)
BW (2)
Since career cafs can fight in 3 different weight classes I might spread it out like a LHW (that cuts to MW and can do HW), A WW (that can do MW and LW) and a FW(that can do BW and LW). That should give me the most flexible CAFs to suit the needs of the league.
Offering something different is what sets us apart from other leagues.
I totally forgot about this. No need for a stock fighter league then as we can blend them using career. Good points all the way around Ultra and glad to see you back.
