MMA Executive

There are a lot of things in this game that just don't make sense. I spent a lot of time talking with the developer and making suggestions to make the game more fun and accurate, but they had no interest in changing anything. I waited to write my review to see if anything would change, but not a single update has been made. I wouldn't pay $5 for this game as it is, let alone the $30 or whatever it was that I actually paid. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the fighting and training algorithms, but nothing in the game is explained and everything else was just an afterthought. It feels like its only about 25% complete, and it doesn't look like any updates are on the horizon.

I am a sucker for menu based strategy and I typically love games like this... Rock Manager, World of MMA, Kudos... All great time killers. But this... This abomination... I have never hated a game more in my entire life. The individual who compared this to MMA Tycoon is a liar or a friend of the dev trying to be nice. This is NOTHING like MMA Tycoon. This game is tedious, confusing and barely even qualifies as a game. The interface is a joke and the sliders are so lazy and non-intuitive that one of them actually just says "kick more". But even if you turn that all the way down your fighter will still breakdance around the cage throwing kick after kick after kick. This is all on top of the fact that the game itself looks like an Angelfire website. The fights aren't even worth talking too much about since you have literally no control over what happens... The sliders don't add up to any kind of true strategy and the matches play out like random flavor text. Also, you can't skip the ones that don't involve your gym, it speeds up the process but you are still required to watch and click through EVERY time. In 1 hour I fought once and made it through 3 training sessions. I lost fig…

This game is awful, tried it on normal, there is no chance of enjoying it. Then played on ( easy ) bit insulting to the people that have bought it as almost all have found it difficult,I get a prodigy of around 94 and start making money and then the companies collapse, what a waste of my time. I understand why the share thing is there but it's set out is awful, I would like a refund, I bought it when reduced and I can see why it is reduced.

It's slow, cumbersome and just kind of painful to play. As far as sims go, I guess it's maybe a 4/10. I picked it up on sale for 66% off and still asked for a refund. There needs to be a lot more work in order to refine this labor of love.

For a budget game, if you like a game where you manage a team and are in control of mostly everything then this is the game for you. I would recommend being able to matchmake your fighters fights and being able to schedule the fights so it is easier to keep money flowing and also have more control of what you're doing!

Although the game is very intriguing and fun, I have to say I am very annoyed that I keep going bankrupt lol It is seemingly impossible to make any money in the game... I have 7000+ dollars in expenses a month on an average play through but only 3000 coming in each month.. I get all the questions right because I have watched and trained mma almost my entire life but that only keeps me afloat for about 1 in game month. I went bankrupt after having my fighters go 4-2.. It makes no sense to make the money side of things so difficult, if my guys are winning why am I not able to stay remotely in the positive?, I hired the TRASHEST coach available and I know many coaches who are coaching at a gym with UFC fighters and they don't make half the money the cheapest coach makes in a year. Also achievements are my main reason to play any game so the option with the extra money that turns achievements off is NOT an option. I am still giving the game a thumbs up because I do enjoy the game and I am determined to figure out how the hell to keep the gym open for more than 6 months. Fun and in depth. 7/10 the money side of things should be easier.
