1. Quick Start

Start the game by clicking/double clicking MMA President in the MMA President game folder.

The quickest way to get an event booked is to click on 'Booking' and click on the book
button of the day you want to book. This instantly books the day. If you want to start
booking as soon as possible you can go into 'Settings' and turn off the 'Booking Wait For
Training Camp' option. This means fighters will no longer need 6-12 weeks to train for their
fights and can be booked when they are not recovering for a fight.

So now your event is booked it's time to sign some fighters. You can also buy fighters
but that can be expensive. Remember that some of the fighters you sign might still be
recovering from their last fight so they will need time to recover. You can find out how long
in the 'Roster' page. You will want to sign popular fighters for the Main Event and Co-Main
Event so that you can increase your company's popularity if the event is a success.

Once you've signed your fighters and have enough, you can then go back into the 'Booking'
page and click 'Edit' on the event you've booked. You will need to book at least 5 fights
for the event to go ahead or the event will be cancelled. Remember the fighters will need
to be in the same weightclass and of the same gender to fight each other. You can use the
filter buttons around the page to help you find fighters that can be matched against each
other.

To get good ratings on your events, you should look for fighters with average fight ratings
that range between 70 to 100.

So now that you've booked your fights it's time to click 'Continue Day', after each day is
updated, keep clicking 'Continue Day'/'Continue' until the event is started.
(You will also see the weigh-ins for your event on the day before the event takes place)

When watching an event you can click 'Spacebar' to go through the fight, move by move or you
can click 'Enter' to quickly go through the fight. Click continue after the fight to go to
the next fight until the event is finished.


2. Continue Day/Continue Weeks

This button will take you to the next day or to your booked event. Days without computer
events will sim fast with the computer event days simming a little bit slower.

Continue Week (Multi-day Advance) will take you to the day before your next event or sim through 7 days.


3. Main Page

The main page is so that you can get an overview of everything that is going on in the game
and within your company. You can see your rank, important messages, popularity and which
fighters are about to leave your company. Also there is information about the other companys
including which company's have the most popularity/money and which events have been the
most successful.


4. Messages

You will receive messages from your fighters, this includes if a fighter is unhappy with
how they're being booked or if their opponent has failed a drug test or missed weight.
You will also receive offers from other companys to buy your fighters. You will be able to
sell the fighter within the message. If you decide to start a relationship with a fighter
you will also receive their messages, pictures, videos here.


5. Booking

On the booking page you can decide when your events will take place. If you want to book
events immediately go into the 'Settings' page and turn off the 'Booking Wait for Training
Camps' option. Otherwise you will have to book events 6 to 12 weeks in the future.

To book an event, click on a 'Book Fight' button which allows you to book the fight
in the chosen slot.

Now that you are in the Book fight page, you can use the filter buttons around the page to
find fighters that can face each other. Fighters will need to be in the same weightclass
and of the same gender to face each other. You can click the 'Reset' button to remove the
filters.

If you want to keep these filter settings, let's say you want to carrying on booking this
division, you can click and turn on the 'Keep Filter' button so that you don't have to
re-click the filters to book your next fight.

You can sort the fighters by clicking the buttons above the stats 'Po' is for popularity.
You will want your Main-Event and Co-Main Event fights to have the highest popularity fighters
that your company has. This will give your company a chance to gain popularity if the fans
like the fights. At the bottom of the page, it will tell you if your main two fights have
enough popularity for your company to gain popularity.

To book a title fight, click 'Book Title', you can then choose which title you want to book.
There are 3 titles for each of the 21 weight divisions.

You can also choose between 3 and 5 rounds for each fight.

Once you have decided on your fight, click the 'Submit Fight' button. You might receive a
warning from the commission if the fighter skills are too far apart and they won't allow for
the fight to take place. (Also if the fighters are of different genders and weightclasses)


6. Sign Fighters

You can use the filter buttons for example: weightclasses and gender to filter which type of
fighters you want to sign. To sign a fighter, simple press the sign button. You can then choose
if the fighter will be signed for a 3 or a 5 fight contract. If another company wants to make
an offer for the fighter you will need to increase your bid until you out bid the other company.
To sign the fighter simply press the 'Complete Signing' button.

You will only be able to sign fighters that have 9 more popularity points than your company.
For example if your company has 10 popularity points, you can only sign fighters with 19
popularity points.

Note: A stat to look out for is a fighter's 'Rating %', this is an average of the ratings
from all of the fighter's fights. If they have a high rating then the fans are enjoying
their fights. This will help you increase the popularity of your company, if your event has
enough star power (fighters with enough popularity in the Main-Event and Co-Main Event).


7. Profile Page

The profile page has a massive amount of information on each of your fighters. This includes
their Fight History, skills, stats, relationships and training improvements. This will give
you a good idea how good a fighter is by looking at how many stars out of 5 a fighter has
or by how many wins they have and the type of ratings their fights are getting.


8. Drug Suspensions

You will find out after a fight if a fighter has been suspended for performance enhancing
drugs (PEDs), if they won their fight the result will be overturned and result in a DQ. If
a fighter has a high 'Drugs' skill then they are more likely to be using PEDs. This will
help them train faster but if they are caught, their popularity will take a hit and they
will anger their opponent. Also a fighter will be suspended for 6 months to a year if caught
on PEDs.


9. Weight-ins/Weight Misses

Your fighters will Weigh-in the day before a fight, an asterisk next to a weight means a
fighter has missed weight. You can find the 'Weight Cutting' skill in a fighter's profile,
the higher the skill the less likely a fighter will miss weight.


10. Injuries

After each event you will find out which of your fighters are injured by looking in the
'Messages' page. You can find the 'Injuries' skill in the profile page, the higher this skill
is, the more likely a fighter can be injured in the fight. A fighter  that is injured can take
between 6 months and 12 months to recover, depending on the severity of the injury.


11. Roster, Company Management and Send Fighter to the training gym

On the roster page you will have all of the filter settings to sort through your fighters.
You will also be able to move your fighters between your three companies by clicking the
'Move' button and then clicking on one of the three buttons at the bottom of the page under
'Move to'. If you have hundreds of fighters this is a great way to place new fighters in
a lower company to judge their potential. These fighters will still be able to gain popularity
from these lower company events so that you can build up their popularity before they make
the move to the Main Company.

You can also use the 2nd/3rd Companies as a way of rebuilding fighters or simply running out
an underperforming fighter's contract.

There is also a button to send a fighter to train in your gym. There are only 100 places in
your gym, so choose which fighters you send wisely.

11.1 Extend Fighter Contract.

On the Roster page you will find the 'Extend Contracts' Button. This will take you to the
Extend Contracts Page where you will find a list of fighters who have less than 3 fights on
their contract or they have less than 29 days on their contract. By clicking on the 'DL'
Contracts Days Left button or the 'FL' Contract Fights Left button you can find which fighters
are closest to having their contract run out. Click the 'Extend' button on any of the fighter
rows to bring up the extend contract dialogue box. Click the 'Extend Contract' button to
extend the fighter's contract.

Note: If a fighter is unhappy with their booking they will not want to re-sign their contract.
Don't worry, you'll be able to re-sign them again after a year cooldown period.


12. Staff Sign

On this page, you will be able to sign 7 different types of staff, from Ring Girls to Coaches.
Simply click the 'Sign' button and then choose between an 18 & 30 month contract
before clicking 'Complete Signing' to sign your staff member.

You will only be able to sign staff that have 9 more popularity points than your company.
For example if your company has 10 popularity points, you can only sign staff with 19
popularity points.


13. Staff Select

To place a member of staff into a company position, click one of the 'Mo' buttons
in the top half of the screen and then click the staff member 'Move' button next to your
chosen staff to move them into their staff position.

Note: Only staff that you select will count against your wage bill.


14. Buy Fighters

Buy fighters is very much like Sign Fighters accept that you will have to pay a fee to the
company that you are buying the fighter from. Also you will have to pay the fighter a
larger wage.

You can click the company buttons at the top of the page to sort through fighters from
that particular company. You will not be able to buy fighters from companies with 9 more
popularity points than yours.

Note: It's best to buy fighters when your events are making a lot of money and you have
a million+ in the bank as if you go into negative finances you will not be able to sign
fighters over 10 popularity.


15. Gym Training

When you click the train button on the roster page, this page is where your fighters go to
train. You can see your coaches at the top of the page and their skills. On this page you will
be able to decide which type of skill a fighter will train. By clicking one of the 4 'Train'
buttons, you can choose if a fighter will train 'All Skills', 'Striking', 'Grappling' or
'Defense/Health(Cardio)'.

By clicking the 'R' button on the fighter's row, you can remove them from the trainig gym.

Note: Once a fighter reaches the age of 36/37 their skills will start deteriorating.


16. CEO Rankings

For all popularity points a fighter gains from fight position 1-10 in each event, your
CEO 'Max Default' will get these points. These are then averaged for each event so that
you can be ranked against all the other CEOs in the game.


17. MMA Express

MMA Express is the game's MMA news website. Hundreds of pages of MMA information about
the latest news and stats from the game world.


18. The Simulator/MMA Rules

The fight simulator uses the skills of fighters so that each fight can simulated move by move.
If you are not familiar with MMA rules, fights can be decided by a Knockout (KO), a submission
(Sub) or a decision. If a fight ends in a decision, judges will decide which fighter did more
strikes and submission attempts to win the fight. They will also weight-up how powerful the
strikes were.


19. Titles

Each weight division in your company has 3 seperate title belts, including Main, Interim and
Challenger Titles. With 21 weight classes, this means your company has 63 belts to be won by
your fighters.


20. Finances

You can find out how much money your company has, including Money In, Money Out and your
total staff wages on this page.


21. Rankings

Fighter rankings: Fighters receive points depending on the records and rank of the fighters
that they beat.


22. Retired

Take a look at the game's retired fighters. Fighters will start thinking about retirement if
they go on long losing streaks or once they reach 36/37 years of age. If they're still winning
their fights, then they will put off retirement for as long as they're competitive.


23. Companies

You can see all the information of rival companies by clicking on a company's 'Roster' button.


24. Other Signings

Find out which fighters have been signed or bought on this page.


25. Choose/Start New Game

On this page you can select any of the 10 save game slots in the game. You can also change
the name of the save game.

If you want to start a new game in 2019 you can click the 'New' button underneath. This will
start a game with 5 years of simulated game data, fights and stats.

If you start a 1995 game the game will start the game with no fighters and then generate them
for you. You can go into 'Game Settings' to increase the amount of fighters that are generated
each day. Also you can choose the max popularity of these generated fighters.

The 'New Mod Game from Mod Folder' is if you decide to place the mod game files into the 'Mod'
folder which is inside the 'Save' folder. You will then be able to click this button to use
this mod for any of the save game slots.

Note: If you want to start a fresh mod game to create your own game world mod, you can start
a 1995 game and then choose which year the game will start in near the bottom of the page.


26. Settings

The 'All Fighters Can Be Signed' option means that when you sign fighters you can sign any
fighter in the game. Though if you have a small company, this could send you into negative
finances.

The 'Financial Freedom' option means that you don't have to worry about going into negative
finances and you can put as many expensive fights on your events as you want.

Ignore 'Super Signings' as these have currently been turned off. These were so that you could
sign any free agent fighter but you would have to spend a massive amount of money. From
testing it was too easy to bankrupt your company, so these will probably be removed soon.

Booking Wait for Training is the training time a fighter needs before fighting. They will
normally need between 6 and 12 weeks.

You can choose if you want to have 'Celebrities' in the game.

When a fighter retires or if you start a 1995 game or if you have a mod game with less than
3700 fighters the game will generate new fighters to fill up the game. You can choose what
the maximum popularity of these fighters will be (1-100 popularity). Also you can choose how
many new fighters can be generated each day. If there is a full compliment of fighters in the
game, no new fighters will be generated.


27. Edit People/Create People/Add Pictures & Videos

Edit People:

On this page you can edit and create, fighters and staff. You can save time in creating
fighters by using the 'Quick Add' button.

Pic Gen Add:

'Pic Gen Add' is for adding pictues that will be used with generated fighters.

Note: If you want to add your own picture/pictures for a fighter you will need to place them
in the correct folder. You will find these folders in the 'Images' folder inside the
MMA President game folder. You should then go into the corresponding game folder for your save
game, let's say we're using save game 1 so we would be using the 'Game1' folder for our images.

Add Pictures:

If you want to use your picture as a face pic, place this in the 'Face' folder. Make sure
you remember what the picture is called and what its file extension is, for example
'garyface1.jpg' or 'garyface2.png'. You can find these details by right clicking on a picture
and then clicking properties.

You would then choose the Face 1 slot and fill it with the picture and file extension name,
for example:   garyface1.jpg

The other pictures slots are for the relationship part of the game. Let's say you have a
favorite fighter, they will then occasionally send you pictures and relationship
messages.

Add Videos:

You can also add videos for the relationship game, these go in the 'Videos' folder in the
MMA President main game folder. You can use mp4 and mov files.


28. Edit Company Info/Add & Release Fighters and Staff

Edit all company info here. This is also where you can change your company names if you're
building a mod game.

Also on the Edit Company page you can click 'Add Fighter' or 'Release' to add and release
fighters from any company in the game. Also the same for Staff with 'Add Staff' and
'Remove Staff'.

'Add From Save' is where you can add fighters from any of the 10 save game slots in the game.

You can also use 'Change Titles' to give a fighter their weight division title for the company
they are currently signed with.


29. Repair Game

This was created because of the old Window 10 bug that would suddenly turn your computer off. At
the same time it would occasional blank the game files if they were being updated while
continuing to the next day.

You can also use these buttons to go back to 2 different days of the past week, let's say you
make a mistake and book the wrong Main-Event fight.


30. Installing a Mod Game

Check out this video for a visual explanation on how to install a Mod Game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEFjXTohDFM&t

Installing a mod is fairly simple. It is a case of replacing the save game folder and the
image folder of one of the save games with the mod folders. In your mod there should be 2 folders,
let's say you are replacing Save Game slot 10, you would go into the 'Save' folder from the
MMA President main game folder. From here, you should then replace the 'Save10' folder with the
Save10 mod folder. (Rename the old Save10 folder to Save10bak)

Next you need to go back to the MMA President main game folder and go into the 'Images' folder.
You will need to replace the 'Game10' folder  with the 'Game10' mod folder.
(Rename the old Game10 folder to Game10bak)

If there are any video files in the mod, simply find the 'Videos' folder in the MMA President
main game folder and put the mod video files in the 'Videos' folder.

When you next load up MMA president, you simply need to select the Save Game 10 slot from the
'Choose Game' page. If you are already in MMA President, simply select another game and then
reselect your mod game.

You can put your mod into any of the save game slots but you will have to make sure that the
game folders have the correct names, for example the Save5 folder is for the fifth save game slot.


31. Mod Creation

The best way to start a mod is to go into the 'Choose Game' page and click the 'Select' button of the
save game slot you want to use. Let's say you choose save game slot 5, you will then need to click
the 'New' button on that row that is below the heading 'New Game 1995'. This will bring up a dialogue
box asking, 'Start a new game in this slot?', click 'Yes'. You will then be presented with a new
page. There will be a text field with, 'Enter Starting Year', basically enter which year you want
to start the game in, for example '2020'.

To continue with making your mod, just click 'Play Game with Celebs' or 'Play Game without
Celebs'. You can always change this in settings later.

You can now go into 'Edit Company' from the left menu and then click the 'Edit Company' button at
the top of the page to change the names and details of your companies. We will come back to this
page later.

To start creating your fighters you will need to go into 'Edit People' from the menu on
the left of the page. You can add fighters and change any of their attribues with 'Add Fighter'
or you can use the quick method by using 'Quick Add'. You can always edit the fighters later by
using the 'Edit/Delete Fighter' button at the top of the page.

To add your own picture/s for a fighter you will need to place them in the correct folder. You will
find these folders in the 'Images' folder which is inside the MMA President game folder.
You should then go into the corresponding game folder for your save game, let's say we're using
the save game 1 slot, this means we would be using the 'Game1' folder for our images. Most of your
pictures will probably be face pictures, so you would place this in the 'Face' picture folder.

Make sure you remember what the picture is called and what its file extension is, for example
'garyface1.jpg' or 'garyface2.png'. You can find these details by right clicking on a picture
and then clicking properties.

You would then use the Face Pic 1 text field and type the picture and file extension name,
for example:   garyface1.jpg

The other picture slots are for the relationship part of the game. Let's say you have a
favorite fighter, they will then occasionally send you pictures and relationship
messages. You can start a relationship by going into a fighter's profile page. The button is found
at the top right of the page.

Add Videos:

You can also add videos for the relationship game, these go in the 'Videos' folder in the
MMA President main game folder. You can use mp4 and mov files. These like pictures can also
be added in by typing in the file name and extension for example:   garyvideo1.mp4
into the 'Video 1' text field that can be found by using the 'Pictures/Videos' button in the fighter
edit page.

To Edit a fighter click 'Edit/Delete Fighter' at the top of the page and then find
the fighter you want to edit using the filters on the page. Once you've found your fighter,
click the 'Edit' button.

Once you've created some fighters you can go back into the 'Edit Company' page by using the
menu on the left. You can use the 'Add Fighter' and 'Release' buttons at the top of the page to
add and release fighters for any company you choose. You can also use 'Change Titles' to choose a
company's division champions.

Creating/Adding staff is very similar to fighters, use the 'Create Staff' button in the
'Edit People Page'. These can then be added to a company by going into the 'Edit Company' page
by using the left menu and clicking the 'Add Staff' button at the top of the page.


32. Computer CEO A.I.

One of the most important features of the game is to allow the computer controlled CEOs to do
almost everything that you can in the game. Depending on their ability, these CEOs will book
events, sign/buy fighters and have their own business relationships with fighters which will
depend on how good their booking abilities are. You will be able to see how well the other CEOs
are rated in the CEO rankings page, you might even see one of their fighters complain to the
media at MMA Express.


33. Trouble Shooting

If the game is running slowly, try turning off as many unneeded programs as possible. One fault
I've found after the recent Windows 10 update is that when you play a Youtube video with Brave
Browser and have it playing in the background, this will dramatically slow the game down. Youtube
seems to work fine in Chrome.

If you are not seeing all of the screen, try unclicking the windowed button before pressing play.
This will be shown after you double click the 'MMA President' executable file. Also, you might be
able to choose a different screen display resolution, make sure you choose one of the wider
resolutions like 1600x1024 or something of a simular ratio.


34. Thank you

game genre. If you have any comments or ideas for improvements in this game, or for future
