Of The Year Awards - Discussion


GBK16

Recommended Posts

From last years award I felt there were way to many awards and by that a lot of the awards that actually matter did not really get voting on by everyone.

 

I have nt read through all comments so I'm sorry if Im repeating anybody. But here's my thoughts.

 

1 - Fighter of the year

2 - Manager of the year

3 - Org of the year

4 - Best new org of the year. ( created in the calendar year. )

5 - Most Impoved org. ( for example CEC has broke top 4 orgs this year but could be another org mid tier etc. )

6 - Most Improved Manager

7 - Most I'm Improved fighter

8 - best event of the year

9 - Best writer of the year

10 - poster of the year

11 - KO of the year

12 - KT org of the year

13 Mentor of the year

14 fight of the year

15 alliance of the year

16 avatar of the year

17 clothing company of the. Year

18 nutrition company of the year

19 most helpful manager of the year

20 Tournament of the year

21 smack talk of the year

 

I've probably left a few out and I appoligise if I have so please add or delete either of what I've wrote. But to me these are the main things I see in the game

Have to agree with the bottom three, for the top one I'd just remove that one.

 

I've got a couple of suggestions, thought I'd bold the awards because I've mentioned so many and I thought it'd be easier to track :D

 

In addition to dinooo's last suggestion, New Business Logo of the Year and Championship Belt of the Year should be merged with Designer of the Year.

 

There's also an award for 25 year old Island fighter of the year, so this could be merged with 25 year old Creation of the Year and U25 Island Fighter of the Year, so you then have one award Island Fighter of the Year.

 

Since there's only a couple of KT orgs, I'd recommend removing the KT Org of the Year award since there's only 5 (from what I can see) which are dedicated to KT. If the award is removed, then KT orgs should be allowed to be nominated for Org of the Year.

 

Bookmaker of the Year, I don't feel bookmakers are a big enough business in MMA Tycoon for them to justify an award.

 

Remove both Best New Org of the Year and Best New Org Owner of the Year. The guys who win these awards should be striving to be the CEO of the Year or the Org of the Year.

 

I agree with all of this except KT. We should be trying to encourage KT and doing whatever to try and make it fit in a bit better. But yeah everything else seems right.

What does everyone think of the suggestions so far? Implementing these changes will bring the award numbers to 45 in total.

I agree that there are still too many. I'm struggling to see what awards should get preference over others for though in terms of what should stay and what should go, so I am all ears for suggestions and what awards should be either removed or changed.

Personally if I had any say we'd get rid of all these specialty awards. The under 25's, over 25's, newcomer, old timer, drop all that BS. It'd look more like this:

 

Manager OTY

Fighter OTY

KT Fighter OTY

Fight OTY

KO OTY

Sub OTY

Org OTY

Event OTY

KT Org OTY

Clothing company OTY

Nutrition company OTY

Designer OTY (Stole that one from Dinooo)

 

That's 12, which still seems like a lot to me, but this is just my opinion.

 

Edit - also Alliance OTY and Tournament OTY would be decent ones to keep as well.

It would be nice to see more people involved in the voting as well. I think Mike sent out a mass mail last year, but still, not that many people voted.

 

There should indeed be less awards, so they would be esteemed higher as well by the community, since now, people still see it as a popularity contest. It would be interesting if their would be a fully objective way of determing who wins what award, but I guess that's pretty much impossible.

Public gym of the year can go... if you don't have fighters in a city you'll never know how good a certain public gym is. Not to mention many of the public gyms quietly go about their business without pumping themselves up.

Awards should be something special but looking at these categories it doesnt seem anything like that. I would suggest something like this.

Instead of a commitee, why not do a forum poll with every proposed award? (All thirty or so) Then have the top 15 "winners" as the awards to be held next time. If people vote we can weed out the uneccessary awards fairly.

I'd take out avatar of the year and contributor of the year. I feel like designer of the year is good enough to cover graphics in general.

I disagree with this. I think the first part of thinning down the awards and giving them some importance is to stop giving out awards for every new thing. I think we need to just award the best, and not start adding sub categories.

This x 100. Awards should be serious and I don't like the idea of their being too many topics either but there should always be at least one that people can have some laughs over, in one of the other message boards I have been on for years we have crybaby of the year which was fun.

I'm out of the running for that one now :D

 

 

If we don't have breakthrough fighter of the year Super Meat Boy will take every other award. Won't you please think of the children?

Breakthrough Fighter does sound like it could be a great award

Probably the best list so far. Will have a look at that in a bit in comparison with the current awards to see what is being cut.
