Mentor Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I have to say, that despite the fact that game has not really been moving forward and the talent pool among fighter managers is nowhere near where it was 5-6 years ago, when it comes down to high level orgs, this is probably the most balanced it has ever been. Besides that, the communication and activity of those org owners is also top notch. I remember the situation in the not so distant past, even 2-3 years ago, it was terrible. There was some "top orgs" that had owners that barely logged into the game, it took days to even get a reply. Organizing a top level super fight was sometimes a long and tedious task, the situation was really dire. But even if we go back a few years earlier, lets say during the peak era of the game, orgs were run by little clique's or alliances, that where feeding hype towards their prefered hype farms. There was several vendetta's/feud's among orgs as well, so getting the big fights were even worse than 2-3 years ago. Do not get me wrong, orgs were in general run way better earlier, there was a lot more hype, articles coming out, often by professional writers. Each org had custom posters being made weekly as well, all of that is in the past now, but if we are comparing a open scene, with relatively open collaboration between orgs, parity, then this is probably the golden era. Just to make a comparisson (These are the top 10 with top 100 fighters, excluding-ID orgs): Claymore Elite Combat = 13 top 100 Global Association of MMA™ = 13 top 100 Synchronicity = 15 top 100 Empyrean = 14 top 100 PRIDE = 11 top 100 Pulse Fighting Championship = 17 top 100 Empire FC = 5 top 100 I know for a fact that we have never had 6 orgs with 10+ top 10 fighters in their ranks. In fact, there has been a discussion in the forums about the need of a 3rd 90k arena. In the past, that was NEVER ever debated, in fact, there was some people (i remember Karter was one) who debated that there should be only 1 such arena, to decrease the cash flow. Anyway, this article is already too long, it is a good time for the org business at the moment. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazzypants Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well said. Great Org options at the moment and they all seem to be run really well. I'm sure it's a right pain running them sometimes but it's much appreciated. Keep up the great work guys! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJMitchell Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Someone let 'the most feared manager in the Tycoon Universe' know. He might actually come and fight in one of them. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shards Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Yea, I've noticed this too, for a little while I was double checking contract offers but I felt a lot better recently after I noticed the diversity of the declines so it's not just me, there's just a ton of choice at the top end right now and guys are going everywhere. I also just worked out my 3rd writer, this guy seems way more reputable than others so fingers crossed he makes good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I also just worked out my 3rd writer, this guy seems way more reputable than others so fingers crossed he makes good. Getting a consistent writer is one of the biggest challenges for an org owner, i have had a few good ones over the years though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bestever Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 totally agree. I've had great experiences with most managers and org owners and really feel like the top end orgs are on solid ground. The state of the game and the length of time required to develop a fighter to compete at this top level are the only real detractors right now. That Said, Pride has commissioned a poster maker for upcoming events starting in October. Wanted to add a little flair to events of days gone by as you said. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted September 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I think the mid tier is a bigger issue these days, there seems to be a few ID orgs, but the mid tier is a bit dead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mentor Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 What kind of an Org does the game need at the moment ? Mid tier orgs are basically orgs that are no longer ID restricted, but not PPV level yet. Essentially an org where the has been's or wannabee's fight, a place to prove yourself before the big leagues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJMitchell Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Sort of like what All Elite was or NSC(?) if I'm remembering correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentor Posted September 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 I would say that in today's Tycoon, the best examples of a mid tier open ID are JAG and GAMMA: Contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 Mid tier orgs are in a pretty dire state now, I've got fighters in that sort of bracket and when they come off contract all you hear is crickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodtymes31 Posted September 22, 2019 Report Share Posted September 22, 2019 It is a good time, but honestly unsustainable. Having so many orgs bidding is inflating contracts, and I’m not making enough money to hold onto my better guys if they decide they want to go to best offer.

In about 30 minutes Chucky is gonna hit send , his personal account is gonna go to about $39 and mine to a lot more. And then "The Revenant" will come for that Greek Boi Toy he broke twice already.... Let`s see if you have no fear 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thread and post but you gotta give some credit to the "Loan Fighter to" option for this. Gotta admit, Mike did well on that button. On the topic of mid tier orgs I`ve had good and bad experiences. A few examples: a) Was happy to help NSC grow with some aging fighters in my roster. Happy to sign Ibrahim to Empire FC c) Was not too happy when Empire (310k) Scott Park offered me a contract just to keep Chris Steve on ice until March 2020 and away from their champ (conveniently managed by their CEO) who I had dominated already 50-45. LOL @ 2-3 years ago, try 2-3 months ago Shadiness is still everywhere, just gotta look a bit harder these days that`s all So yeah bref: Loan button is working wonders 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 The fighter pool is substantially smaller. Like, 5k-10k active fighters smaller depending on how far you go back. Easy to look at high Street and realize there is a lot less active orgs too. Easier for non ID orgs to have "top fighters" when there ain't really a lot of places to go. But org owners still around, keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have the messages(and receipt) where I bought the VIP so you would book my alliance mates fighter and released your guy saved but that is still sitting on my desktop if you also want me to post that when I'm home Sunday. Tldr, shit was pulled everywhere and I think I did my best to meditate it. I make my own choices but if you're swinging against my alliance you can expect to know where I'll stand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
