5 Rounders that are not for the title? Maybe when two guys are highly ranked the game could default to 5 rounds. Thank you for your consideration.
That one could be added if Fight cards get coded in.

I would say that QOL improvement would be a huge upgrade overall. All fighters on one page in list format with stats and styles. With such a list format you could also build up the training. All fighters on one page, set training and coach and a button with "train all".

All camps should start with 5 fighters.
It doesnt provide that big of an advantage. I dont think, at least.
I have been working on redoing/creating a proper tutorial for new coaches. This would be a quick intro to the game, explaining how the style system works, how the WRV works, and how to use them both together, before they register and create a game account. Quick introduction to sparring, and contracts.
Most new players likely chose a random country of their liking, dont know the basis of styles or where to look for that help. They recruit a few fighters and every fight to them is a 50/50 toss up.
Could you fellow coaches list anything else that would help a new coach out? Outside of signing up for the forums for real time help. Yes i know the game tips section exists, but a lot of that info would be helpful before you make a camp.

Equipment...I know its supposed to help with training but if i have 1 block of Karate.. I DONT NEED ANY KARATE HEAVY RECRUITS! Thats not how I am setting up my camp. Why would a Thai Boxer wanting to bang go to a Sambo heavy camp? Equipment should help influence the type of recruits you receive and you should allocate equipment points like stats on a "character" build or something.

Usually when playing a game you'll find out about all the features of the game gradually when playing it. I don't think all the information will stick with the coaches that haven't played the game yet at all. Agreed, the idea would be a quick 30-60 second video quickly explaining the premise of "rock paper scissors" premise that the game operates under. Something they can constantly refer back to. Getting the info you mentioned throughout the first week of playing would be very benificial, I'd say. Maybe getting a tutorial week with some of the info popping up when the new coach logs in. After that week maybe give them a chance to move the camp to a different country or get game cash back to change equipment that has been bought already. The game is optimized for Pc/Web Browser functionality. Help bubbles are coded into the game, however they are triggered in some functions by hovering over a link with your mouse cursor. This is unfortunately mute on mobile. Forcing the tutorial week would slow down new player engagement. There should be a way to create a page by page tutorial. Page 1: shows you how to recruit, and explains the options. Page 2: explains your recruits stats and offers a style suggestion and walks you through selecting one. Page 3: signing your fighters first contract. Etc.... Video would be quicker and more succinct, and easier to produce. Maybe Trite can offer his buttery smooth voice for voice over. So long as he sticks to the script Equipment is too expensive for new coaches. It used to be ok but the population is too small to have these guys forced into having low stats. I agree, a discussion should be had about scaling equipment costs. This is no different than scaling fighter orgs to population.

MMATycoon did a decent job there, you had 3 modes to create your fighters, depending on how much you know about the game. Like a suggested version, a "do whatever you want" version and like some other. I know you cant create one from the ground up like u did there and people could find out styles by recruiting over and over and just checking what the computer sparred for with the style picked, but maybe something like that?

Could be a function you switch off with a simple button which asks have you played the game before, if you select no, then you dont see any of it if you select yes but I like the idea. nothing to crazy with stats but for each style there is an obv LHS and RHS. could work. Doesnt need to refer to certain countries, just include a guide on how to use WRV and let them figure out which countries or smth

Spidey commented we have a lot of unsigned fighters right now. Personally I'm pretty active in game and have found my fighters are sitting unsigned a lot longer since contracts were shortened. I re-sign them when I spar typically, which is twice a week.
I get why the short contracts are there, you want to keep the fighters moving, that is a good thing. But making it hard to keep them signed is a bad thing, you don't want to make it harder to stay active, you want to make it easier.
My suggestion is every time a fighter leaves a contract you immediately route to a page saying "fighter x contract has expired" and list basically the contract page for them so you can automatically resign. Maybe list the contracts and a 3rd option, remain unsigned. Ideally this could happen before the pop out of the org impacts happen, eliminating the need to do auto-renew in the EFC too. Make it easier to be active, not harder.
Hell, if you wanted to you could make it impossible for fighters to be unsigned after that first contract, but this would probably result in more incubation before signing, but is another option to consider. That could look like a page after contract exp that lists new contracts or "retire fighter". Those are your only options and that page will keep coming up until you make a choice.

initial grind and cost as a newbie should be lower, or non-existent, because you start with no equip, no ability to get custom items etc.
start of game, maybe more starting cash when u start a camp, like 10mil? that way you can get a 5mil and many 500ks, or 2x 5mils then the grind can start, i doubt chief makes any money off newbies and most, if not all, off the guys who have played for a long time (correct me if im wrong)
may help with keeping new camps and coaches active rather than dying off quick....that and they should be pushed onto the forums or at least towards the game guide
Also:
[x] Olir: kinda hard to program a new set of recruits for returning camps. coz if you allowed an empty camp 5 fighters that could be abused. you'd have to make sure they had to wait x amount of resets before they could do it again [x] Matty: yeh i think thats how it should work [x] Matty: recruit an empty camp once a month or something fairly extreme
think this needs to be integrated too, returning camps soon give up when they have to recruit once a reset, should be able to recruit 5 straight away, but limit this to once a month or something to prevent abuse of this. Spoke to russianthai recently and he gave up very quickly due to this

Right now they can't even spar in the first reset!

I think its widely agreed upon that the equipment/camp economics need to be scaled down for new players.
Also agree that every newly registered and old camp should be able to recruit 5 fighters right off the hop. Simple rule in place that the camp must have had 0 active roster for 6 real time months to use the 5 recruits feature.
Edit: WRV
It's hard to call it P2W without knowing exactly how it effects the probabilities of recruitment. It's arguable.
Does it need rebalancing? Likely. Maybe refinements so that certain nations dont have pumped skills that are illogical. Maybe allow every camp to change nations every real time year for free?
Is it the games money maker at the moment? Likely. Its the only thing players can continually spend real money on. If we dont like it as a pay feature, let's come up with other features that dont impact the game negatively, that will generate money.

I think this request has been made many times before, at least in a similar form: If you come back as a manager, that you can recruit several fighters in one day/reset. Similar to new accounts. Maybe also in connection with the purchase of credits. So still some revenue could be generated. Furthermore, this could prevent the "exploitation" in the form of "mass retirement".

So about the equipment issue for new players that people have already mentioned, perhaps a donation option where veterans who have all their equipment maxed and fighter slots maxed and having nothing to spend on can donate to new players in their alliance. I for one would be willing to donate to an alliance member to help them accelerate their growth. I understand the game needs to make money. So maybe a cap on how much each camp can donate or something like that.

Game needs a bit of a recruitment drive on Reddit and Discord.
I would have a second ribbon under the current one headed "Game Tips" with:
You-tube guide(s) Overview (current game tips) Registering Your Camp Hiddens & Attributes Styles Guide Style vs Style Matchups Message Board Sign-up Discord Sign-Up
Should make it easier for new players to get started with minimal changes to the landing page.

Default country option for new players signing up is whichever country is top of the WRV when they sign up, not America
Gives new players a better start
