RFG Question

American_Ernesider · 08-11-2024, 09:06 AM

I am enjoying my fictional universe, but I am having some issues with the RFG. My main issue is that there are usually too many top rated guys. While there are only a handful of 15s, I will find that it likes to generate more than I think is appropriate.

I know I can control this, but I don't want to be too arbitrary. I want the chance of 15s to be there.

One thought I had was for each cycle is to give the chance for 1 12 to 15 rated fighter (and maybe a second chance with 1 7 to 15 rated fighter).

Anyone dealt with this before?

Are you starting all of your fighters at "Beginning"? That will yield too many high rated fighters.

I start 20% at beginning, 20% at pre-prime, 40% at post-prime, and 40% at end. That way you get fewer fighters that develop into stars and quite a few that never really develop at all, which is realistic.

i use the 7-15 and 1-6 rfg system works fine but even some of the "higher" ones are actually overrated. yes i'm back

I do have them broken out sort of similar, but I didnt include End in my batch. Thanks for the suggestions!

Thank you. I probably look more at that than other factors, so it's possible I am allowing it to skew my judgment.

My thinking is that quite a lot of fighters have careers that span just a handful of bouts. Starting some at end is the easiest way to simulate that.
