CAGFC (UFC 2009 League) - HW's Only! New Site! Details Inside!

[CAGLeagueSports]

All right guys, CAGFC has its first champion in the Welterweight division! Congratulations to Codi Garber for his knockout victory over Jimi Smith. Garber and Smith are currently our only Welterweights in CAGFC, but I'm sure the division will grow as more people learn about CAGFC. In the meantime, I'm sure Smith is eager for a rematch!

Under Garber's name in the OP, you will now find this.

CONGRATS CODI!!!

[Ace!]

only a matter of time bfore I get the game...he is sending it tomorrow...but then I have to get my guy built up!!!

[pimpster4183]

My guy is at 56 right now, I haven't finished career yet.

Eric Ortiz | Nate Lisa | KO | 1:26 of Rd 2

Good fight sleepy. I should have just stuck to my gameplan, because I was probably winning. I knew I couldn't trade with you since you had an advantage in rating 51 to 44, but for some reason, I decided to in Rd 3. Just fucking dumb. I gotta get my guy ranked up because I normally don't lose fights like that. Oh well.

[whiptcracker]

Matt Cracker vs Michael Kline - Cracker via armbar, 1st round, unsure of the time.

I'd feel better about the victory if I wasn't rated nearly 50 points above Pandabot. He put up a good fight and it'll be interesting when the stats for everyone are more even.

[Vulcan2422]

You know what's funny, I played a guy last night ranked at Level 50 with a fighter of 95, yet somehow I beat him. Honestly, even with the ratings maybe above a 10 point difference, I'm sure you can beat them if you have a gameplan. But seems like if you stuck to the gameplan Nate you might have won. lol.

Can't wait for our fight tonight Moon.

[talonthrawn]

Sleepy, when can you fight man? Let me know, I'm available tonight after 7 or so, and tomorrow and Wednesday after 4. Would rather fight sooner than later though as I leave for two weeks starting Thursday.

[Ace!]

So most people have already finished their careers??? So I might be fighting a 90 overall when I am like a 40? OMG

I better get the game and hurry with the career mode.

I assume after beating the career, most people are close to 90?

Also how many losses do most people have through their career?

Yeah, that's the general idea. Put in the time, reap the rewards. I didn't anticipate people finishing the game QUITE this fast, but it'll still work out the same in the end. There may be a disparity in fighters now, but over time, everyone will level off, and the fights will solely be based on skill. Our first week was basically like the first 10 years of the UFC, lol. :)

Also, I should add, after the tournament, we'll just be having individual matches set up as a weekly card. So, you won't neccessarily be fighting guys with ratings of 90 (unless everybody has a 90 by that point). Starting off, you'll be ranked low, and you'll fight other low ranked fighters. As you improve in career...or pull off stunning upsets, your chances for moving up the rankings will increase.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Fights that need to happen asap:

HW - cubs2321 and bg88
LW - cmart05 and seen

Let's get it going guys!

[Ace!]

so, as people are winning these tourneys and getting titles...They will keep the titles and people will work their way to be a runner-up to get the title shot?

CONGRATS CODI!!!

I would like to thank all my fans who made this all possible........... ok just kidding. I just finished my career with this guy earlier today, I will check my final rating and post it later.

My first fight with Jimi was kind of a mismatch, I'm pretty sure I was rated quite a bit higher than him. Next time it will be a lot more even.

[moonknight25]

Vulcan, I can play now if you are online. I left you a message on live also :)

[CAGLeagueSports]

so, as people are winning these tourneys and getting titles...They will keep the titles and people will work their way to be a runner-up to get the title shot?

Um, sort of. Yes, the winners of each bracket gets the title for their weight class. After that, they'll be pitted against the top contenders on the weekly card. Who the "top contenders" are will be determined by other fights on the card. If you wouldn't mind, read the OP. There's a lot of good information in there.

This weekend? Today is Monday, lol. I'm guessing maybe you mean THROUGH this weekend? In which case, yeah, bad timing. It's up to you man. The LW division is small, so I'm not as concerned with that one finishing on time as I am the HW division. And considering the fights only take a maximum of 15 minutes, it's not really overly demanding. It's your call though.

[seen]

Damn, I wanted this fight...cmart05, will you be on XBL tonight?

[Vulcan2422]

I just woke up from napping Moon. You up for our fight?

[moonknight25]

Yes, I'm hopping on now :)

Grazti Grazti. I appreciate it. I try to pride my self on my slams. I looked after the fighter statistics and you did a number on my face. like 92%. Busted my eye open really good. All in All, It was a great fight. I'm a 83 and he took me on for two rounds. Great shit. See, It's about strategy and not just stats in this game I believe.

Yeah, I won a fight against Matt by decision the other night when he was rated 56 and I was a 44. But then I got knocked out in the 3rd round by sleepy180 and he was only a 51. As unhappy as I was with the result, it at least shows that rating is not the "be all end all" in deciding a fight's outcome. To me, this bodes very well for our league because it allows room for upsets and improbable runs at the title. I have to say, so far, I'm very pleased with how CAGFC has been going.

[MikeBike]

See, It's about strategy and not just stats in this game I believe.

Agree about it being strat but I think someone with an 85+ against a 30 or so can submit them pretty easy. At least from the few times ive had that situation happen.

[n8rockerasu]

Well, yeah. I'd say a 55 point difference would be near impossible to overcome. But a 10-15 point difference is manageable. Aside from this tournament (where changes in ratings aren't really being monitored during the tourney). But once we go to the weekly cards, nobody with a 30 rating will be fighting someone with an 85.

[Matt Young]

When did xcoax join? Was it via PM? I asked him about joining, and he said he probably wouldn't.

And in case you feel like updating, Nate, I'm at a 75 overall now, a few months into year 5.

No, he posted in the thread. Last post of page 12. Last posts on a page are always easy to miss though. Plus, we had a couple tournament results posted right around that time.

And wow, a 75 a few months into year 5? You should be AT LEAST a 95 by the time you finish.

[DarkTower80]

If we can't get the fight in tonight just give the win to bg88. Have been working more than usual with the holiday and haven't had much chance play.

[whiptcracker]

Would the last tournament fight in a bracket be a 5 round fight?

[bg88]

Yeah it would be cool to get our fight in sometime tonight but I have also been pretty busy recently.

My updated and final rating is 61 for I.A btw. I kinda messed up my first time thru career mode hehe

I'm a 79 now, about halfway through year 5. I don't know about 95, but I'm hoping for at least 90. My highest rating in a single ability is a 70 or 71, and my strength and cardio are in the low 70's as well. Speed is in the 50's. I'm at the point where, if I want to increase my strength or cardio stats, I lose an equal number of points in the other 2 categories.

[Vulcan2422]

I think it's funny how we are all like "OMG! Your gonna be 90!" But without Strategy and having a game plan before going in the fight....it's worthless really. Like I said, I beat a couple 90's last night ranked at level 56 and still managed to beat them with submissions. So the league will be interesting. I wish you were a HW Matt.

[moojuice]

Wewt, re-did my fighter. In April, year 4, I am 70 overall. What a difference knowing how the system works makes. Middleweights, watch out.

Also, I don't know how I did it, but it seems like I somehow got an insanely long reach. At 6'1", I have 76" reach...wish i made a boxer instead.

[homeland]

hey whip, I was on at 1030 but couldnt wait any longer. Will u be available tomorrow? if so anytime in the evening will be good for me.

[whiptcracker]

I'm sorry. My plans went longer than I thought they would. I should be available all of tomorrow evening after about 6pm Central.

[Matt Young]

Damn, Alan... not only are you pretty much on the exact same pace I was on, but you've done all this after restarting. I feel like I'm so far behind, with others finishing the career and you basically playing through a full career with both your guys combined. And I've played a decent amount.

Talon and sleepy- Do you know when you're fighting? Nothing personal, but I'd like to face talon in the finals. Two guys named Young who practice BJJ and kickboxing? It'd almost be poetic.

[The Color Chris]

after reading all the post i really want the game to get here already and try to get in on some of this action

[MikeBike]

I am moving along with my guy in his career. I know I wont be a 90, on advanced the sparing dude is insaine, but I should be a mid 70s at the end which I am happy about. If anyone ever wants to play any matches online I am always down. Just message me.

I'm at LHW and I'm 6' 2" with a 77-inch reach. Only 1 of the actual UFC LHW guys can equal my reach.

Also Jason Hart is now a 75 near the beginning of year 6 of career mode.

Hey Whip whenever your done dodging me:lol: let me know. I"m available up until 830 est and than I have to go get my wife.

Jean Claude b Matt Cracker via KO 1:15 of Round 1! New Lightheavyweight champion.

Congrats :) I thought I'd start standing and take it to the ground later in the round or at round 2, but I didn't defend my face and got KO'd.

[homeland]

Ya while flash KO's are cool for the "oh shit" factor they kind of suck. Would rather the match come down to skill and game plan rather than luck. We'll have a long season for rematches I'm sure. If you ever want to scrimmage though let me know. I'd like to see how the fight would go if I weren't so lucky.

[whiptcracker]

I'm down for a scrimmage anytime, hit me up when I'm on.

I like the flash KO's every now and then. Don't put it all down to luck though, you outstruck me and I had my hands down because I was about to go for a headkick myself. I'm 23-2 online overall, including this lose and even in that 1:15 you fought better than a ton of people I've run up against online.

If you ever want to scrimmage though let me know. I'd like to see how the fight would go if I weren't so lucky.

I don't think it's really "luck" though. From the ones I've gotten, it seems to be timing more than anything. I've gotten a lot of flash KO's via head kicks that start from me stepping back, loading up, and then the other guy dropping his hands at the wrong time. That's exactly how it should be. And whenever I've been KO'd, I can usually think of something stupid I shouldn't have been doing at that particular moment (ie. stepping in, starting to throw a leg kick, shooting, etc.)

I've yet to really feel "cheated" by a loss. Even against the button mashers and people who rush in to try to trap you against the cage. I don't know. Maybe it's because it's an "anything goes" style of combat, but I just feel like if I don't learn to adapt, it's my own fault. Without flash KO's, the game would use your standard run of the mill "health bar". After games like Fight Night and UFC, I never want to see that thing again.

EDIT - See, whip agrees with me, haha. When you're trying to throw a strike, you're not prepared to get hit. I think the game takes that into account. I mean, look at when Rashad Evans knocked out Chuck Liddell. They were both throwing bombs, and Rashad's just got there first. It's just the nature of the sport. I actually think the game plays pretty damn realistically.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Congratulations to CAGFC's very first Light Heavyweight Champion, Jean Claude! Claude defeated Matt Cracker via knockout at 1:15 of the very first round. I've got a feeling our LH division is going to be very competitive, so we're sure to see some great fights out of these guys in the future!

Under Jean Claude's name, you will now find this!

Sounds good! Yeah, getting this tournament wrapped up is a high priority for me, as I much prefer the weekly card format. But it was without a doubt the best way to determine the first champions. From here on out, if anybody doesn't have time to fight, they'll just slide down the rankings. No big deal. No feelings hurt.

I'd like to join the league as well. Here's my guy...

Name: Brandon Haines
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 205 (Light Heavyweight)
Fighting Styles: Kickboxing, BJJ
Overall Rating: 88

That was my first CAF so 88 is not too bad after retiring. My 2nd CAF is rated 100 though :)! I maxed out his submission, and his standing strikes/kicks are like 80 each, and every other stat is at least 70! I didn't accept any of Dana's request to replace an injured fighter and I was getting 100+ points in a lot of my sparring sessions! But since he's rated so high I'll use my first fighter!

What was your sparring method ot getting such high sparring points? I'm glad your using your first fighter. I'd hate for everyone having maxed out stats. Keeping the Stats realistic adds to the experience.

Well, I PM'd him and posted like three times on the forums and got no response. I'm going to be gone for two week starting Friday so if you wanna fight, sweet, but either way the title is yours!

[whiptcracker]

How are we going to decide #1 ccontenders and other scheduled fights?

[Vulcan2422]

I'm just waiting for Jay and Blake to go at it. See who I face in the end. :D

[CAGLeagueSports]

How are we going to decide #1 ccontenders and other scheduled fights?

Well, in the early stages, it'll almost be an extension of the tournament (as though it were double elimination). Guys who lost their very first fight will be ranked toward the bottom and will face each other. As the records improve, so will the rankings. Rankings for fighters with an identical record will be decided by overall rating (and how close the fights were).

At this point, everybody is really close together. As we pit people against each other, I expect things to spread out a bit. All we really need to do is pay attention and recognize who should be fighting who. It should be pretty simple, for the most part. :)

[Matt Young]

Well, I PM'd him and posted like three times on the forums and got no response. I'm going to be gone for two week starting Friday so if you wanna fight, sweet, but either way the title is yours!

Well, the bracket says I'm supposed to fight him now, apparently.

[gamcreator]

What was your sparring method ot getting such high sparring points? I'm glad your using your first fighter. I'd hate for everyone having maxed out stats. Keeping the Stats realistic adds to the experience.

Well at first I was getting my normal 50 points for the difference in sparring points just by going after the guy with a few headkicks, combos and then taking him down and advancing to mount. Since I was using this guy to get some of the career achievements and I had heard how hard submission of the night was so I increased my Sub OFF first. Then it just so happened I could get my sparring partner to submit even when his stamina was full of green so I would get larger differences. I think if you are 200+ points difference then you get 70 points plus your multipliers and in a few sparring matches I got 2 submissions and had 400+ point difference. I forget how many points that gave me but with 2 x 1.20 multipliers it was in the 100s.

[n8rockerasu]

Well, the bracket says I'm supposed to fight him now, apparently.

Here's the deal, talon is leaving tomorrow and will be gone the next few weeks. These were the options:

A. Unless he can fight sleepy tonight, and then you directly afterward, it's unlikely that the Middleweight bracket gets finished. Even if that happens, the problem is if talon wins the title, and then is gone for a few weeks, by CAGFC rules, he'd have to relinquish the belt anyway.

B. Put the middleweight bracket on hold until everyone is home and feels like fighting.

C. Declare their fight a draw, but allow sleepy to move on so the tournament can end and we can continue on with the weekly cards.

Which one of those sounds like a good idea? When in doubt, pick C.

[Vulcan2422]

C sounds like the best possible choice. How ever A and B weren't bad either :P

[n8rockerasu]

C sounds like the best possible choice. How ever A and B weren't bad either :P

Haha, thanks buddy. I would have been fine with option A. It at least would have moved us forward. But us married guys know what utter chaos the days leading up to your wedding are. It would have been tough to expect talon to set up two fights under those conditions. Honestly, I'll be proud of him if he just makes it out alive. ;)

Congrats talon and good luck.

[Vulcan2422]

I completely redid my Career since I was not a happy Camper at all. So my new stat is now a 98.

[n8rockerasu]

Yeah, after discovering that I had gotten to year 4 without ever doing the training camps correctly (I really should have read the career help when I first started, which clearly explained how to participate in them), I also restarted my career last week. Thankfully, this allowed me to fix my fighter's age since apparently he's immortal and never ages.

I think this was my 3rd time starting career mode, so I finally REALLY knew what I was doing. I utilized my training, sparring, and camps as well as I could, and finished with my guy a full Level 3 in both kickboxing and bjj. Even though I finished my career with 5 submissions, I never got submission of the night (some nights didn't even have a sub of the night...lame).

Hopefully this doesn't piss anybody off, but my guy finished with a rating of 100. I didn't use any outside sources to achieve it, just my own personal experience in having gone 1/3 to 1/2 way through the career 3 times. I figure with that much time put in, I should know enough to maximize my skills. Even so, I don't think I'm unbeatable. Anybody can get caught.

[CAGLeagueSports]

All right guys, it would really be great if we could get this tournament finished up. The following fights need to happen as soon as possible:

HW - Blake Garber vs Jay Gillums

MW - Matt Young vs Eric Ortiz

LW - Manny Pacquiao vs Andrew Kennel

You know what sucks ass? I realized this the first play through when somebody said "Don't do anything for cred or take fights". Also another thing that sucks ass is that I never got KO of the night. I got Submission of the Night alot considering I literally had 24 submissions and 9 (T)KO's. Sorta makes me sad cause I really wanted that one achievement. But I did go undefeated and make it into the Hall of Fame.

[moojuice]

Well, I'll make it a trifecta- Gotten a mix of KO and Subs of the Night, never gotten fight of the night in 6 years. Maybe I'll try to get the cheesemint in another weightclass.

For Submissions of the night, if you haven't yet, try getting it along with the no-hit submission achievement. That's how I got my first SotN, and oddly, it was against Silva o_O.

[whiptcracker]

I got em all and sub of the night was the hardest. I'm going back to see if I can get the undefeated one.

Yeah, I tapped Silva out twice via rear-naked choke, and still nothing. The only thing I could think of is in most of my fights, they didn't tap out from the first submission attempt. They'd usually escape once or twice, before I was finally able to get one fully sunk in. I figured maybe that made it less exciting, haha. I got the "no striking sub" achievement in exhibition though, so that didn't help me any. I'll probably go through each weight class though, so hopefully, I'll be able to put it all together at some point.

Even if you make them tap with the first submission you don't get the Sub Of The Night. I think you have to really put on a damn good show and turn a reversal into a submission. Maybe this will help some, but I just got it by doing non stop Submissions pretty much. I don't know why I went all Submission this time around In Career Mode.

Focusing on submissions for most of my career really helped me make my game more well rounded. Once I did them enough I kind of understood when I could pull one off and which submissions were easier to make people tap.

[MikeBike]

Update on my guy. He is a 63 rating so far. Extremely happen with this so far since im playing on advanced.

[seen]

AK, let me know when you are available; I was online Friday evening and was around today. I will be on tomorrow, msg me so we can get it setup.

[Matt Young]

Finally finished my middleweight career, going 36-0 (all knockout) with 26 title defenses:

"The Buzzsaw" Matt Young
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 185lbs
Fighting Styles: Kickboxing/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
Overall Rating: 93

Kickiboxing and BJJ are both maxed out 150/150 Level 3. Once I got to where it took 25 sparring points to level up any category by 1, by overall development stalled. I ended up as a 93 overall. Not too bad.

[Matt Young]

Wow... So I posted those stats at 411mania.com. I've been going there for many years, but just started posting at the message board solely due to the UFC CAF league they have going there. A response from one of the top posters there:

"Considering the game just came out one would have to be totally devoted to career mode playing hours a day and doing the reset to get those stats.

Kind of sad.

Nice weather out there walk through the door and experience it. "

Wow... Really? Just, really?

Wow, that's harsh. They must have some really dumb people over there, because it's not that hard to rank up quickly once you know what you're doing. For instance, I'll even toss a freebie to everybody.

When you start your career, and you only have two sponsors (THQ and Yukes), fill all 10 logo spots on your trunks with THQ logos, so you'll immediately be racking up 350 points of cred for each fight. This will get you better equipment faster.

It's not like that's some hack in the game. Just something not everybody would think to do. Considering the career mode has almost an RPG feel to it (ranking up, adding points, etc.), really anybody well-versed in strategy (or as George Bush would say "strategery") could figure this stuff out. Sounds like the 411 guys need to dial 411 and get a fucking clue, lol 8-)

[whiptcracker]

That's retarded since it took me 5 hours to go through career mode and end up with a 93, and I have a wife, full time job, etc.

Also, I checked out that thread and the guy who said that has been posting forever on that site. I used to write for the game section before the games staff split for Insidepulse (and now Diehardgamefan), and the dude posted a ton back in the day. Doesn't look like that's changed. I don't think he's qualified to tell someone they have no life :)

Whoever was at the top of the leaderboard that first week with over 400 wins and over 400 DNFs doesn't have a life. Christ, how long would that even take?

[Matt Young]

I don't know, man. I just thought I was way behind since so many others had finished career. I even have several friends with the 30 ranked wins achievement. I am 0-0 ranked.

But that Nemesis guy seemed all right; it's just that first post that irked me. Anyway, sleepy, I haven't heard from you. When can you play our middleweight title bout?

Send him a PM Matt. He hasn't posted in the thread in some time.

[Vulcan2422]

Some people have no life (like my self) and play the game non stop. But I still get my exercise and walk in and do other things. Some people are just morons. I really can't wait to fight. Just waiting and waiting.

[moojuice]

Well, finished off my Career, 95 overall.

Man, my sparring partner must have gotten pissed because he was giving me a hard time the last two years. Occasionally walked away with only 36 points. Went from knocking him out about twice per sparring round to not even being able to whip him around in the clinch.

[moonknight25]

I will be debuting a new fighter soon. He is is the W. Class and I'm almost done with his career. Hope to finish before tghe next tourney!

I don't think we're having any more tournaments. Just weekly cards.

[n8rockerasu]

Yeah, Matt is correct. I don't want to say there will NEVER be another tournament. But after this, we'll be going to individual matches on weekly cards. I don't relish the idea of continuously doing tournaments. Look at how long this one is taking. Some people can't find the time for a 5-15 minute fight.

[Matt Young]

It doesn't even take 15 minutes for a 3 round fight if you skip cut scenes. The accelerated clock moves at twice real time.

Anyway, I PM'ed sleepy in an effort to get our fight done.

You know some people actually ARE busy with..... you know... LIFE stuff, and getting together for a fight online can actually be a bit of a bitch. I know this might be hard for people who post 50 times a day on CAG to understand but please try your best.

Dude, go fuck yourself. I'm fortunate that I can check CAG frequently because I work from home. I realize that. But it's horseshit if somebody can't check the thread once a day. And the only reason anyone might struggle to get their fight done is by not knowing how to communicate like an adult. The reason it happens is because most people rely on the "I'm online now. Maybe my opponent is on." strategy. If you have a busy schedule, that's MORE of a reason to communicate and set up a time to meet your opponent. Saying "I have a life!" is just a fucking copout. Grow the fuck up. And get off my nuts.

[moojuice]

If you don't have time to play, don't join the league. Same principle as not buying something if you don't have the money.

[whiptcracker]

If people are too busy to participate in one fight a week, I don't see why they signed up then.

Took me and homeland a few tries to get our fight done with our schedules, but we managed to make it happen (though mostly because he was patient).

[bg88]

I'm just going to forfeit my fight to Gillums since we can't seem to be availabe at the same time, so just let Gillums advance.

P.S. I'm getting a little fucking tired of a few people in this thread constantly whining that some people can't get their fights in on time. I've been working a lot recently so I genuinely have not been able to get coordinated with my opponents. It actually has been a stretch for me to set up a possible 15 minute long fight. I'm genuinely sorry I haven't been able to be near my 360 24/7 the last couple weeks to get fights in and please everybody. Some people in here need to fucking realize that this tournament isn't the most important thing going on for some people right now. I'm trying to schedule fights around work, not schedule work around this tournament. So again some people in here should have a little fucking patience and not talk down people because they can't have their fights 5 seconds after they are announced.

[whiptcracker]

Yeesh. This thread needs a kleenex box.

Nobodies asking 5 seconds after it's scheduled. It's been seven days. Nobody cares, we just want to move on.

Have you tried PM'ing Gillums to see if either of your schedules lined up at all?

Just because someone is busy for one week doesn't mean they will be busy every week. People have schedules that constantly change, it can be difficult for two adults that live in different parts of the country to find a time where both are free to play on XBL at the same time. When we all signed up for this league we had no idea what the fuck our schedules would be like even one week ahead.

Just because a couple fights haven't got done in the tournament yet doesn't mean the people involved don't want to participate. And why the fuck do you treat your leagues like the fucking military anyways? Do you walk around wearing a t-shirt saying "Online Leagues: It's Serious Business"? I mean seriously I know we want to keep things moving along but for fuck's sake settle down.

[bg88]

Have you tried PM'ing Gillums to see if either of your schedules lined up at all?

Yeah I did PM him but the problem is that I haven't been working consistent hours so I couldn't suggest a time to him. We got in touch with each other but that doesn't mean we could set up a time when it worked out for both of us.

[n8rockerasu]

Yeah I did PM him but the problem is that I haven't been working consistent hours so I couldn't suggest a time to him. We got in touch with each other but that doesn't mean we could set up a time when it worked out for both of us.

I can understand that. The problem is there's a balance to these things (and it would be great if your brother could stop blindly defending you for one second and realize this). I blame this moreso on the tournament format than anything else, but sure, some people are going to have stuff going on, and not have as much time to play the game as others. That's a given. So, the best thing I can do is give a reasonable amount of time that you could expect everybody to get their fights in.

Some guys will get theirs done right away, others will have problems sync'ing up, and others won't put forth any effort at all. So, where do you draw the line? A week later, the guys who got their fights in are now bored (and possibly losing interest), the guys who couldn't sync up are probably just as busy as before, and the guys who didn't make an effort probably still don't give a shit. The reason I push is for the benefit of CAGFC as a whole...in an effort to be fair to everybody.

Personally, I feel that seven days is plenty of time to fight one 15 minute fight. I realize your fight with Gillums has only been up for about 4 days, but since your fight before that didn't happen either, it starts to make a guy wonder, ya know. Regardless of all that, what do you think a good solution is? If I don't make any moves at all, when do you think you'll get your fight in? Is there any point to waiting? Just being realistic here cause a lot of guys are waiting on a few people.

[Matt Young]

I was watching a movie on my 360, and my TV just died. As in, the power went off for no discernible reason, and now it won't turn back on. Thus, I have no video games and no TV/movies. I sure as hell can't afford a new TV. FML.

I would like to get my fight with Gillums in but it could be more of the same for me the next 2 or 3 days. By Wednesday or Thursday I will have much more time to participate in these fights. I just decided that I should forfeit since I don't want to hold things up for a few more days. So like I said just advance Gillums and I should be able to participate in the next Tournament/Fight Card since my schedule will become much more flexible.

Damn Matt, that sucks! Especially since your TV was the reason your returned your PS3 and got a Wii instead. Then, it just up and dies on you?!? What a bitch! lol. The only thing I can think to tell you is to have a repair guy look at it. If it's just the power supply, it would be a hell of a lot cheaper than buying a new set. Although, two months ago, you were going to buy a new TV anyway. I doubt your credit with BestBuy has changed at all, but there are alternatives you could explore.

[Matt Young]

I wanted to buy a new TV then, but couldn't afford it without being able to make payments. Now, I'm a lot more broke than I was then.

That's fine with me, man. That's all I really want out of people. I know life can be a bitch sometimes. But just be real about it. Think of the other guys involved. And we can all coexist. My dillemma is always "if everybody loses interest, there won't be anything left when we're finally ready to move on". I think that's why I come off as an ass a lot of times. But..fuck it. Nobody likes Dana White either, lol :)

Well, to avoid having all your games, movies, etc. become worthless, you might have to pick up something cheap (even a *shudder* 19 inch SDTV off of Craigslist or something). That would at least get you by until you can save up for something nice. Otherwise, you might as well sell off your shit and start over.

[cgarb84]

I can understand that. The problem is there's a balance to these things (and it would be great if your brother could stop blindly defending you for one second and realize this)

I wasn't blindly defending anyone, I wrote paragraphs explaining my thoughts on the matter, that's not blindly defending something. Also don't tell me to grow up, I didn't tell you to go fuck yourself or threatened to beat you up Online to prove my game mastery. Now that I've said that I'm done with this whole thing now. Just cut people some slack when they are a little tardy on their fights.

Whatever man. You've been throwing out insults at people for 2 days on this thread and the other UFC thread, but yet I'm the one attacking people. If you can't comprehend why it might be fair to others to make sure the tournament kept moving along, I'm not going to spell it out for you.

[Vulcan2422]

Ha Ha. That joke about Matt's Best Buy Credit is priceless really. :D

Also I think alot of us traded in NHL09 for this and thus alot of us NHL 09 CAG's are here for the tournament and playing against other NHL 09'rs. But we always had a set schedule for a Friday. Sure some would be late but we played. Hell, I have my month already planned in advanced actually with work and the weekends. But that's just what I like in my life. An Organized one. But whatever. Also i think Nate said it best in the other thread.

WTF? I hadn't posted in this thread before today in almost a week. I have only posted twice in the official game thread this week, telling the one guy who asked what difficulty to play on to play on a difficulty that was challenging and to not play on Beginner, which I feel is totally weak. You took offense to what I said, which apparently means I have been bashing people left and right in both threads the last two days which is COMPLETE HORSESHIT.

The only person I am attacking in these threads is you because you come off to me like a total douche bag who thinks that he is doing everyone in these tournaments a great and honorable service by running the league. Get over your fucking self. It's not like my 5 year-old cousin couldn't put together a tournament for each division if he had to.

wow

[whiptcracker]

It stated this was a weekly thing in the first post, and if there was an issue people should've realized that before signing up. Life gets in the way though and that's why there's an option to forfeit. It's not a big deal since it's not like virtual records mean much anyway.

This is pretty funny in the context of the earlier comment about taking this too seriously. Someone needs to take their blood pressure medication. It's for fun dude. If you're not having it, GTFO.

[Matt Young]

I'm not about to jump in the middle of any arguments. But I have been reading cgarb's posts in Bas Rutten's voice, and it is awesome.

[Matt Young]

Fear not, true believers! I have returned! I managed to call upon the ancient power of borrowing money from a family member who doesn't expect you to pay them back right away! As such, I replaced my old, recently deceased 52" rear projection TV with this- Proscan 40" 1080p LCD TV (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9329381&st=Proscan+-+40%22+Class+/+1080p+/+60Hz+/+LCD+HDTV&lp=1&type=product&cp=1&id=1218086176467).

I was going for the biggest, cheapest 1080p set I could find at that price range, that had decent-good reviews. I saw that one for $550 and I am very satisfied. It'll take some getting used to, having a 40" screen rather than a 52". But this one doesn't cut off the edges of stuff like game HUDs and ESPNews scores (stuff near sides of screen).

And WOW... games looked excellent in 1080i on my rear projection, but UFC is so much brighter and just more vibrant and alive on the LCD screen. It's too bad I don't have a 360 with an HDMI port. My HD DVR has one, but I don't think TV shows go higher than 1080i anyway.

It's amazing how much better looking HD content is on this LCD TV, when it looked so good on my old projection set. The colors... I can taste them.

Okay, nerdgasm over.

EDIT: Almost forgot. The irony of all this? (Nate knows the story) I had bought a PS3 and surround sound system months ago. The PS3 wouldn't work with my non-HDMI, non-720-displaying old TV. So I returned the SS system in order to get more money toward a potential new TV. I was only given a $500 credit line from Best Buy, however, so no TV. I returned the PS3 and got a Wii. Now, though I love my Wii, I have just become an owner of a TV that will run the PS3, and the only flaw the TV has is its tiny speakers. Surround sound would be great right now.

[MSUHitman]

So we ever get past the first tournament or not?

[Matt Young]

The middleweight tournament will be finished once sleepy responds to my PM and we have our match.

Nice, Matt! I had thought of another option for you, but this one seems better. I was going to suggest that you buy a pair of hot pants and stand out on your busiest street corner. But a family member who doesn't expect you to pay them back right away is a useful tool. It's just too bad you can't play MLB 09 now, haha. ;)

[MikeBike]

Wooo I finished my career. I am a 78 overall. Was a learning curve, played on advances. He isnt a perfect 90 something dude and I didnt even come close to being undefeated but I am very happy with him. Someone hit me up for some fights if you ever see me online.

[Gillums]

Blake Garber def. Jay Gillums by Armbar @ 4:07 of Round 1

Good fight. I didn't play it very smart. I should have been just standing up instead of screwing around on the ground.

[cgarb84]

I'm assuming everyone playing through a career finds at least 1 fighter that no matter what they do can't beat? Mine was GSP, he completely dominated me the two times I fought him. I was just happy I was able to get to the 2nd Round one time before he pounded me out. If he was the champion the entire time in my career I never would've won the belt. Thank God Thiago Alves was the champion for a while, I was able to beat him twice for the belt.

EDIT: I guess this makes more sense being posted in the official game thread, will post it there

[AK85]

Seen, never saw you around last night, shoot me a pm with times you could play tonight or tomorrow.

[Ultimate Matt X]

Sorry I don't have a character yet, but I'm still into being in the league. I think I'm just going to make one without the career mode soon and then try to make and improve a similar guy in career mode. If any of you guys would like some practice fights though I'm definitely ready to play everyone.

[homeland]

Just a bump to prevent this thread from going to page 2.. Hows the fights going? How many do we have left?

[Ultimate Matt X]

I read the first post and I see that we're trying to use career CAFs, but for the sake of getting involved quicker could I use my CAF that I made outside of the career mode? It's not like he's maxed out or anything and I'll switch once the other guy has improved.

[n8rockerasu]

Just a bump to prevent this thread from going to page 2.. Hows the fights going? How many do we have left?

There are 3 fights left.

HW - Blake Garber vs Gary Russell

MW - Eric Ortiz vs Matt Young

LW - Manny Pacquiao vs Andrew Kennel

I'd hate to rush anybody, so I guess we're just trusting that these fights will get done in the near future.

I read the first post and I see that we're trying to use career CAFs, but for the sake of getting involved quicker could I use my CAF that I made outside of the career mode? It's not like he's maxed out or anything and I'll switch once the other guy has improved.

Yeah, that should be fine. I think exhibition CAFs max out around the upper 70s (at least that's what's been reported), so it won't be like you'll have an advantage. But, at the same time, he won't get any better either. So, you'll definitely want to replace him when your career CAF passes him.

[Vulcan2422]

Well, I'm just waiting back on Blakes reply. I told him anytime any day is good for me really. But nothing back. You know I usually get my fights done within the days or so.

Wow! Congratulations to Gary "The Headhunter" Russell, CAGFC's first ever Heavyweight Champion! It sounds like Gary won a very competitive fight over Blake Garber. Russell locked in a guillotine choke at 1:11 of the third round. Under Gary's name in the fighter list, you will now find this:

CONGRATS GARY!!!


We've got two championship fights left, guys, in the middleweight and lightweight divisions.

MW - Eric Ortiz vs Matt Young

LW - Manny Pacquiao vs Andrew Kennell

Let's get these done as soon as possible. It doesn't look like we'll be having a card for this coming Saturday, but there's no reason we can't have one for June 13th. This would be pretty cool because it would coincide with UFC 99 that same night. Either way, moving on to the cards would really help us jumpstart this league.

Gary Russell def. Blake Garber by Guillotine Sub. at 1:11 of Round 3

That was one hell of a fight. I had that Kneebar so close at the end of Round 2, that turned out to be my last desperate attempt to finish the fight. I think that was my first online fight that went to a 3rd round. Good fight.

Can't wait to see who wins the Andrew Kennell and Matt Young fight honestly. I Wish there was an option where we could actually join the match as a spectator. That would be really cool. Also it was a hard fought battle for the belt. I'd like to thank Buddha and of course Matt Hughes for training me in the camps and all the other competitors I had to fight to get this belt! lol

I was literally yelling at my TV while button mashing to avoid that Kneebar. I was like. Oh god, Second stage of submission.....NOOO!!! Somehow in some way I broke out of it. I'm surprised I caught you with the Guillotine choke how ever. I wasn't expecting to even put it on you just to bring you down with a slam honestly. I must have clicked the right stick in by accident somehow lol. But none the less. First fight online for me as well to hit the 3 round mark. Was one hell of a fight none the less.

[sleepy180]

Sorry about the wait, i will be able to fight now. Been really busy and told my brother to fight for me but i guess he never did. I'll get to you on XBL young.

[Matt Young]

I never heard anything today, so please get at me soon.

Anyone else, I'd love to do some exhibitions. I've only really played with Nate and Vulcan, and then a tourney match with Moo.

[moojuice]

I don't think we're ever on at the same time, but if we are, I'm up for some exhibition. Been awhile since I played, think I'm probably a bit rusty.

[n8rockerasu]

I say this from the bottom of my heart, with the most sincere kindness and friendship, but COMMUNICATE YOU LAZY MOTHERFUCKERS! lol, jesus, how difficult is it to send (or respond) to a PM to let somebody know when you'll be available to play a 10 minute fight? This "Oh darn, I guess I missed you" shit is infantile. I'll leave you with an example that you can try for yourselves.

Lazy CAG #1: Hey Johnny, I was wondering when you'd be able to do our fight for the CAGFC league. I'll be available tonight and tomorrow any time from 7 to 10 PM EDT. Let me know if either of those works for you.

Lazy CAG #2: Hi Billy! I'm glad you messaged me. I've really been wanting to get our fight done so the league can move forward, and everyone won't be waiting on us anymore. I have plans tonight, but tomorrow at 8:30 PM EDT sounds great! Maybe, afterward, we can have some chocolate milk and watch "Leave It to Beaver". Gee golly! That sure does sound like a lot of fun! See you then!

Lazy CAG #1: Tomorrow at 8:30 PM EDT sounds perfect Johnny! I'll see you then. PS. My mom bought be a new decoder ring today! It's neato!

Amazing how revolutionary that concept is isn't it?

[Matt Young]

Well, sleepy never PM'ed me or messaged me on Live. All I got was that post right up there. I want to finish and have a new card on Saturday!

I didn't realize you had the power to know how everyone has been communicating.

[n8rockerasu]

:roll:

I didn't realize you had the power to know how everyone has been communicating.

It wasn't directed at anyone specifically. Just a general statement concerning something that is a universal problem across all online sports leagues. Based on some of the posts in this thread, there are obviously some communication issues. However, if it doesn't apply to you, then don't worry about it. Honestly, I'm not really worried about when the tournament gets finished. I figure it'll get done when it gets done.

[Matt Young]

I'm worried about when it will finish. I want to fight, damn it.

[whiptcracker]

So much for a weekly thing eh?

[MikeBike]

I do think it may be time to cut some people. I live as busy a life as the next person so I know it isnt that difficult to find the time to play 1 match in almost 2 weeks time.

[homeland]

I do think it may be time to cut some people. I live as busy a life as the next person so I know it isnt that difficult to find the time to play 1 match in almost 2 weeks time.

Seconded. If people can't in 2 weeks find 15 minutes to get a match in, then maybe they should step down until more time frees up. Its just ruining it for the rest of us.

[AK85]

Andrew Kennel | Manny Pacquiao | RNC | 3:17 Round 1

Good fight, you really caught me off guard with that flying armbar attempt, I guess I just didn't think that would happen from the Pac-Man. It was kinda laggy on my end, don't know if it was the same on yours or not.

[seen]

GG, it was really laggy for me. I was ready to stand-up and trade but it was too slow. Instead I figured the game would end one way or another on the ground. At the end, I couldn't tell I was being submitted til the animation showed you leaned back.

We should post in the OP what our region is so as one can know prior if the game will be laggy.

I'll be online if anyone wants to play some matches.

[Matt Young]

It doesn't matter what your region is. I've had horribly laggy matches with a friend who lives 30 minutes away, and low-lag to lag-free bouts with Nate and Vulcan, who are on the opposite end of the country.

And, as Nate said, we can just drop guys down the rankings if they don't fight. I just want someone to fight in the damn tournament, and now my fight is the only one left. I've been making a strong effort to play, but I still have received no correspondence from sleepy aside from the one post in this thread.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Congratulations to Andrew Kennel, CAGFC's first ever Lightweight Champion!!! Kennel beat Manny Pacquiao with a rear-naked choke at 3:17 of the very first round. The fight sounded action packed, with Pacquiao attempting to take Kennel out with a flying armbar early in the round. Kennel recovered however, and locked in a submission of his own to take home the victory. Below Andrew's name in the OP, you will now see this:

CONGRATS ANDREW!!!

--------------

Wow, lots of posts tonight. I think the general consensus here is moving on. I'm glad AK and seen got their fight in, but I really don't want to wait any longer for sleepy to wake up, So, in an effort to get a card set up for tomorrow, this is what's going to happen. There will be no Middleweight Champion decided by the tournament...

WTF??? Yes, I'm right there with you. But wait! There's more! :)

INSTEAD, the first ever CAGFC Middleweight Champion will be decided at CAGFC2, in a rematch between Matt Young and Jackie Chan!

Other belts will be on the line, and other fights will be scheduled. At this point, all fighters (unless there's an odd number) will be placed on the card, and all fights WILL BE DUE by Thursday, June 11th at 11:59 PM EDT. If you're unable to fight, notify me ASAP. Any fighter who flakes on two consecutive fights will not appear on ANY future card until a bigger committment is shown. I'm going to be putting the card together now, so stay tuned for more details!

[Matt Young]

Thank you. The last fight went to a decision, so hopefully the rematch will be good. This one could go 5 rounds, after all.

Alan, I have finals on Monday and Tuesday, but I'm probably going to be home most of the weekend. if we can't play tomorrow or Sunday, I can still play Monday-Thursday. I'll just be more limited in my availability on Monday and Tuesday.

[moojuice]

Weekend will probably work best for me as well. Wrapping up my internship this coming week, so things might be a bit unpredictable.

[CAGLeagueSports]

All right guys, the card for CAGFC2: UNFINISHED BUSINESS is now up! Due to having an odd number of guys in certain weight divisions, some fighters were left off the card this week. I apologize, but rest assured, you'll get your chance to fight on next week's card.

Also, you'll notice that rankings are now posted in the OP as well. For the most part, these were done by record, but overall rating is still taken into consideration when tiebreakers are needed. There are many ratings that I'm sure are outdated. Anybody who wants their rating updated just post in the thread what your new rating is, and I'll get it fixed.

And with that...LET'S FIGHT!!!

[cgarb84]

My guy's final rating was an 85 so feel free to update that in the OP sometime.

[bg88]

I think my guy is shown as a 38 but my overall rating was an 87.:whee:

[Matt Young]

Fuck yeah, main event!

Alan, just let me know if there's any certain time that works for you. I may or may not be back online tonight, but as I said, I'll be home most of the next 2 days.

Oh, and one suggestion, Nate- Could you possibly list the dates the titles were won (and, when applicable, lost) in the OP? A history of championship reigns would be nice to look back on eventually.

[moonknight25]

BG, i can play tommorrow night anytime after 7pm eastern if thats good for you.

[moojuice]

Hm, Sunday afternoon would probably be best. I don't know if I'll be home in the afternoon tomorrow, but I'll probably be on at night both days this weekend.

[Vulcan2422]

Gillums when ever your ready. I must say. I like the way the Card looks now :D

Also, I'm just gonna throw this out there. I believe who ever is the Champion of there Weight Division, they should create the match and make it 5 rounds. That way they will announce you are the champ and blah blah blah. Just a little suggestion how ever.

[Matt Young]

We're 1 hour apart in time zones, right? It's nearing midnight here, now. Not sure if I can do Sunday afternoon, because there's that Lakers game and a WWE pay per view. I think both start around 5 Pacific/6 Mountain, though, so I guess we could maybe play before then. But if you are indeed available at night, tomorrow/Saturday night would be just fine. Are you playing 1 vs. 100? I'm going to *try*... maybe we could do that, and fight afterward. Just respond when you get a chance. I'm about to try to get some sleep.

[bg88]

BG, i can play tommorrow night anytime after 7pm eastern if thats good for you.

Moonknight, actually tonight isn't a very good time for me. Sometime Sunday morning or afternoon would work a lot better for me if that would work for you.

[moojuice]

I don't know if I'll be able to make the start 1v100 tonight, but I am almost certain I'll be on an hour or so after it starts...so let's aim for after 1v100 tonight?

Plans fell through, I'll probably be on for 1v100.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Also, I'm just gonna throw this out there. I believe who ever is the Champion of there Weight Division, they should create the match and make it 5 rounds. That way they will announce you are the champ and blah blah blah. Just a little suggestion how ever.

Great suggestion Gary! I agree 100%. The title fights should most definitely be set for a 5 round length, and having the champion initiate the challenge seems like a good idea. I've added this to the OP in the "When Do I Fight?" section at the top, and directly under this week's card.

Title fights should be set up by the defending champion and set for a length of 5 ROUNDS (obviously, the MW title fight can be set up by Young or Chan).

Oh, and Matt Young, your suggestion was also a good one! I originally thought that just having the show history in the "Past Updates" section would be good enough. But having a "CAGFC Title History" section makes it a little easier to look at. I have now added that to the OP as well.

[whiptcracker]

Heh, I waited for the next card and I'm not even on it :)

[CAGLeagueSports]

Heh, I waited for the next card and I'm not even on it :)

Sorry about that man. It's just the way it worked out this time. You're still the #1 contender for the title though, and you'll definitely be fighting next week.

Also, I had to make a change to the card. I guess due to all the chaos with trying to get the tournament finished, I somehow managed to forget to add Ultimate Matt X to the fighter roster (I know he had been talking about joining for awhile, but just posted his fighter recently). Anyway, that made the HW division uneven, but I really wanted the new fighters to have a chance to fight this week.

So, I decided to bump Brandon Craig and give Matt Domoracki his spot. I hope you're not upset Brandon, but you did have to forfeit your tournament fight due to lack of time. So, hopefully this isn't a tremendous letdown. You'll definitely have a spot on next week's card as long as you're available.

[DarkTower80]

Not a big deal. I have more time this week as I am on vacation from work so I am available for next Saturday.

[MikeBike]

Wow for the light heavy weight title? Pressures on! By the way, my guys final rating is 78. I will be sending homeland a message on live today.

[whiptcracker]

Sorry about that man. It's just the way it worked out this time. You're still the #1 contender for the title though, and you'll definitely be fighting next week.


No worries, just thought it was amusing. Interested to see how PandaBot/Homeland turns out because either way it's a rematch for me.

[moonknight25]

Moonknight, actually tonight isn't a very good time for me. Sometime Sunday morning or afternoon would work a lot better for me if that would work for you.

Sunday afternoon around 3pm eastern time works :) Let me know if thats okay

[sleepy180]

I've been making a strong effort to play, but I still have received no correspondence from sleepy aside from the one post in this thread.

I sent you a friend request but you never accepted it. I've just been waiting. My brother plays xbox alot more then me so I told him if matt young ever accepted the friend request or msgd me that just to fight him or call me if i'm home. Nothing ever happened.I'm going to send you another one right now.


Edit: it said your friend list is full cant add you.

[n8rockerasu]

I sent you a friend request but you never accepted it. I've just been waiting. I'm going to send you another one right now.

Um, unless something has changed, Matt's friend list on Live has been full for quite some time. This is another reason that checking CAG is important. I mean, maybe I'm assuming too much, but I generally figured that most people signed up for a league on this site because they come to this site fairly often.

All you need to do to be successful in this league is visit CAG at least once a day to see if you have any PMs. Respond to those PMs. And check this thread at least 3-4 times a week, responding to any posts directed at you. That's what...maybe 20-30 minutes a week to keep up with the league? That's not that bad.

[Soodmeg]

Can I join this league? I suck but would love to play some CAGs online. I will not play randoms.

[n8rockerasu]

Can I join this league? I suck but would love to play some CAGs online. I will not play randoms.

Yeah, man. Anyone can join. Just read the OP and post your fighters information (I assume you've started a career).

[Soodmeg]

Yeah, I for some reason posted that and then read the OP. Thank you though. Gonna have to figure out some stuff first then I will post.

[moojuice]

Hey Matt, just incase you dont get my msg via live...

I thought there was only one 1v100, taking place at 8:00 MT. Didn't know there was one at 6:00. I wont be able to get on until later, sometime around the 8:00 episode. Sorry if I missed ya. Let me know if you want to play during that episode.

[homeland]

Hey mikebike let me know when your free this week so we can work something out, i.e I throw you some bones for you go down in the 2nd :D

[Matt Young]

Alan, I just woke up a short time ago and totally missed 1 vs. 100. Sorry... I'll message you on Live if you're on now.

Sleepy, yes, my friend list has been full for a long time. Even when I do delete someone, it's usually to add another. If the friend request doesn't show up as "You have sent a friend request to XXX" on your list, it didn't go through. I never got one.

Also, a friend request on Live isn't sufficient communication even if the person has a spot open. There eneds to be communication in the thread and/or PM's, rather than waiting for someone to sign on Live.

Soodmeg, good to see you join! We've always interacted in league threads but never played each other. Also, Nate, thanks for going with my suggestion.

Is it Sad I spent about 90% of my day in this forum alone waiting for updates and PM's?

God, CAGFC is my life. Let's admit it.

Plus I like fighting CAG's cause I know they wont quit while in the second animation of the tapout.

(UFC Character) I'm gonna be cocky here for a moment and say, the Heavyweight Title WILL BE Staying around my waist for awhile. SO BRING IT ON GILLUMS and the whole entire HW Division! (Character done)

But why would I want to be CheapyD...?

lol, in all seriousness though, I say fuck plenty. It's the shaving my head part I could never pull off. I'd look like I had Leukemia, haha (wait..did I say in all seriousness? WTF?) Besides, I could never top this

Dana has some bad analogies; if you are the Browns vs. the Patriots and are losing, even if your running game is better you still would want to pass more to keep the clock stopped...Seriously Dana has a great league but is unprofessional and that is the reason why he is not on prime-time tv.

[Matt Young]

Jackie Chan | Matt Young | Submission | 2:11 of Round 5

Great fight, but Alan raped me in the clinch and with blocking ground transitions. I couldn't resist his kimura, even with my 88 sub defense.

[moojuice]

Jackie Chan | Matt Young | 2:11 Round 5 (Submission)

A lot more exciting than last time. I guess Matt threw a bit too many punches early on, draining his stamina for the remainder of the match. Otherwise, you should probably have been able to easily get out of it.

Uhh, I think you missed the point. He's saying that it would be like the NFL wanting the Patriots to win. So, BEFORE the game, they go to the Browns locker room and offer them money to NOT go with their strength (ie. running). Then, instead of doing what they do best, they're basically blackballed into doing what the league wants.

I'm sorry, but Dana is 100% right about this, and I love that he tells it how it is. Paying a fighter more to fight in a disadvantageous position is slimy as hell. It does alter the odds (which thousands of people are using to bet thousands of dollars) and it manipulates the fight.

The worst part about it is EliteXC was doing this on primetime television, as though it were the "premiere organization" in MMA, claiming that it had the "premiere fighter" in Kimbo Slice. seen, you've said before that you haven't followed MMA for very long, but you have to recognize, that's dirty business no matter how you spin it.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Wow, after a long wait, CAGFC finally has its first Middleweight Champion! Jackie Chan defeated Matt Young in what sounded like an incredibly exciting fight! Just as it looked like the fight was headed to a decision, Chan locked in a Kimura that forced Young to tap with 2:49 left in the 5th round.

Chan used his clinch game effectively and must have worn Young down as he was able to finish him off and take home the belt. Below Jackie's name in the OP, you will now see this:

Congrats Jackie! Gosh, I REALLY wish they added a Spectator mode to this game. I think it would be awesome to watch alot of the fights.

[Regian]

Created a new guy and have been working on him for the last week or so. Although, some shitty spar sessions has hampered the progress a bit. I can only announce a threatening change (cue laughter) of 60 overall right now. But unlike my old career, I can safely say I have a winning record right now.

Perhaps later on the third time will be the charm, but I'll stick with my new guy for now. No changes in info besides the overall rating.

[moonknight25]

This time would work fine for me. Hopefully I will remember :fridge:

Yes, it was a good fight. I thought I got you when you were dazed but I could't finish ya hehe. You mauled me on the ground however ;P

Yeah I figured I was probably done for when you rocked me. I was as surprised as you were when I recovered.

Good fight bro. You had me on the stand up game so had to take it down.

God damnit.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Wow! The Light Heavyweight title has already changed hands! Congratulations to Michael Klein for his impressive victory over Jean Claude. You'll now find the belt under Michael's name in the OP and see his climb to the top of the LH rankings.

CONGRATS MICHAEL!

Well, guys. Hate to be the bearer of bad news. My 2nd 360 just ringed on me. Just as I was about to go and check out if my opponent was online.

God damnit.

Ah, that sucks man. Sadly, I think we've all been there. I assume you'll be sending it in though, which would put yout out of commission for what...2 weeks? We can just say you pulled your groin, and had to back out of the fight, haha.

Actually, this is where the weight classes being uneven comes in handy. Brandon Craig could step in and take your fight. Hopefully he'll be up for it. Just let us know when you're back up and running so I'll know to add you to the card again.

Two weeks? Has turnaround really improved THAT much? I only ask because the last time I ringed it took a month to get back. That was back in 2007, though.

Well, two weeks is what they claim...and we're not too close to any major holidays, so you should be all right. Besides, positive thinking is the key! :D

[DarkTower80]

The turnaround has improved quite a bit. With my last one they sent out a replacement system a day or two after they got the red ringed unit. I think it was about two and a half weeks and that was with them sending me a coffin.

[cgarb84]

Hey Pimpster I can't play anytime today but I should be free the majority of Tuesday and Wednesday. Let me know when you can play.

EXTRA! EXTRA! Gary Russell defeats Jay Gillums in the 1st round with a knee bar! Russell retains CAGFC Heavyweight championship! Congrats Gary on a successful title defense!

[Matt Young]

LMAO... You actually made Dr. Pizza. Awesome.

I actually ventured into ranked play. Lost one and won one last night. Only played one bout tonight online, and the guy was actually courteous enough to fist bump before both rounds and sent a friendly message after I tapped him (he was fucking em up standing). No quitters yet. This has been nice.

[DarkTower80]

Has anyone thought about making a silver gamertag so we can see when the other fighters are online? It might make it easier to set up fights.

Yeah, actually that's not a bad idea. I was thinking that with only one fight a week, it wouldn't serve a huge purpose. But as CAGFC grows, it might make it easier to keep up with everybody. I'll set one up later today.

[MSUHitman]

Anyone heard from seen? He hasn't posted recently. I'll send him an XBox.com message later today.

I was Thinking about it the other day honestly, but just didn't put the motion through.

He just sent me a friend request on Live 2 days ago.

Nate Lisa | Drew Campbell | Tapout (Rear Naked Choke) | 2:09 of Rd 1

Good fight between me and Drew. With his guy being 6'5", I felt way undersized, haha. He came out throwing heavy shots too. I avoided most of them, but after getting tagged a couple times, I said "fuck that shit!", and took him to the mat, lol. We jostled for position for a minute or so, but then he gave me his back and I was able to sink in the good ole RNC. There's a lot of tall guys in the middleweight class, man. It kinda scares me, haha :)

[Ultimate Matt X]

n8rockerasu, would it be possible to set up a system of sending PMs or some sort of mass message out when we have a fight scheduled? Kinda like the baseball league weeks? I've been running around this weekend and didn't realize I even had a fight scheduled. Guess it doesn't matter though because I haven't heard from my opponent.

Speaking of which, I'm around tonight to fight if you want to. I'm gonna be gone tomorrow, but will be back Thursday night.

[sleepy180]

So finals are over this week and i'de like to fight again. I was suppose to fight Matt something but School and scheduling conflicts kept happening. I should be able to fight anytime now. I dont care if I have to fight my way up, Just would like some fights haha.

[Matt Young]

I beat Jackie Chan once, and he beat me once. We're due for a tiebreaker. I want another shot at that title and I think I deserve it. But if I have to go through Eric Ortiz to get my shot, I'll go through Eric Ortiz.

Ehh, I really can't do that for this kind of league. There's just too many people to keep up with. I mean, think about what you're asking. Me sending out 30+ PMs each week, or each person being responsible for themselves and checking in on the thread every once in awhile. I understand what you're saying, and wish there was some kind of mass message thing on CAG (if I could have a contact list kind of thing, where I could just select "check all", I'd do it).

But the most I can offer you now is what Darktower suggested earlier. I set up a silver account for CAGFC so it's at least easier for people to do the "friend of a friend" thing and see if their opponent is online. That won't help with knowing that you have a fight, but it might make it easier to get in touch with people. That's the best I've got.

It's cool man. I know I was grumpy as hell during the tournament, but it just got to a point where it felt grueling and the entire league was being held up. But the weekly cards are a totally different animal. There aren't any hard feelings for missing a fight. You take your loss, and you move on. The league moves on. And everybody stays happy. As long as people stay active, they'll continue to get fights. Those who don't will fall to the bottom of the rankings, never to be heard from again. But don't worry. You'll have a spot on the card next week! :)

Haha, you make a strong case Matt. But we'll see how this week goes. Can't just keep doing the same match ups over and over. I'm sure you and Chan will cross paths again though. In my opinion, that's the fun of doing the league this way :)

[n8rockerasu]

Oh, also, like I was mentioning to Ultimate Matt X, I went with Darktower's idea of creating a silver gamertag for CAGFC. It is aptly named: CAGFC. I added everybody that was on my friend's list already, but ask the rest of you guys to at least add CAGFC to your lists (if you have room), so we can keep up with each other a little better. The "friend of a friend" system isn't perfect, but at least that way, we'll have a single directory of guys in the league, rather than having to add your opponent every week. You don't have to use it, but I just wanted to let everybody know that it's there.

Bring it, b****

A rematch would be appropriate though.

Heh, I was soooo thinking about creating a Dr. Pizza when I saw the doctor nickname.

Haha, yeah, well I mainly just created him to be Gary's nemesis. Since I'm playing on expert, I fully expect to top him off at about a 75 rating, and then begin terrorizing the heavyweight class. Mwahahahaha!!! :boxing:

[Vulcan2422]

So far I have PLOWED through the HV division! I am unstoppable! So you can bring your Doctor in all you want, BUT he will face the same fate as everybody else has so far, A Bloody defeat by none other than Gary "Headhunter" Russell! You Can't stop this train!

I'll accept once I get online. I'm almost up to 100 wins ranked :D

Yeah, I don't expect anything too crazy and really I don't care if you don't want to do anything outside of the new CAGFC account, but I don't think it would be too hard to message us once and then reuse the list. If I can figure it out I'd send something around and maybe you could just do a replay to all to a PM or something. I'll watch the thread more often though.

Codi Garber | Jimi Smith | Submission (Armbar) 4:14 of Round 1

Good fight, I think he was getting the better of me on the feet, once again I had some lag so that didn't help the situation. The armbar was off a catch counter when he was in my guard....... and it was by accident. I didn't mean to click the stick but I did with the right timing and that was that.

[Straightedge109]

I really want to face someone from the heavyweight division tonight. i'm on a 6-fight win streak which is something i never do and I'm feeling pretty good right now. Vulcan, I'm coming for ya!

[Straightedge109]

Tyler Wilson | Brandon Craig | KO | 4:50 of Rd 1

EDIT: Pretty back and forth during the first couple minutes. I'd get in some strong hits but he came back with a flurry of smaller ones, and I tried for a clinch and only got a couple knees in before i took him down. When we got up though we both went for a headkick, and I got mine in faster and knocked him out.

[n8rockerasu]

Wait, are you talking about sending PMs through CAG or on Live? I could potentially see it being doable on Live if I can get everybody to add the CAGFC gamertag to their friends list. That way, I could just do it on Xbox.com and cover everybody on the list. I was more talking about doing it through CAG...since you can only PM 5 people at a time.

[MSUHitman]

Roy Jones Jr. over Jason Hart KO in Round 3.

I guess it was my connection since I hosted the game but it was laggy as hell. Seen dominated the fight and except for some single-arm clinches and a few kicks my offense was minimal. He stunned me and KO'd me in the third round. Great job seen.

I was so frustrated I tried to throw my controller into the couch as sometimes happens with me but I missed and it went flying across the room and I broke the right analog stick. As always, I'm an idiot.

[CAGLeagueSports]

Wow, nice to see all the activity tonight! New members joining, fights going down. This is how it's supposed to be!

And it looks like we've had another successful title defense. Congratulations to Codi Garber, who hung on to the Welterweight title by forcing Jimi Smith to tap out due to an armbar as the 1st round was drawing to a close. Garber will definitely be looking to take on new challengers next week as he continues his title defense.

Also, I wanted to note, 8 of the 11 fights on the card have been completed. That's really great guys! This is what we've got left.

Chris Moore vs Matt Domoracki
Allen Duke vs Brandon Haines
Andrew Kennel vs Christian Martinez (LW title fight)

Lets just get these fights done by 11:59 PM EST on Thursday night, so I can post the next card Friday morning. For anybody who's curious what would happen if any of the fights aren't finished in time, they'll go to a "judges decision", with the winner being decided based on effort shown in this thread to make the fight happen.

Taking a loss won't be a devastating blow (not like in other leagues where it might ruin your season), and the most important thing is keeping CAGFC moving forward. Hopefully these other three fights will happen (you guys still have like 48 hours, so that's plenty of time) and no decisions will be necessary. Great job so far though guys! I really like how this is starting to shape up.

Roid rage ;)

Seriously though, I wish I knew what caused the lag. I think all we can assume is that it's the individual connections. When I had my fight with xcoax earlier tonight, it was smooth as butter. Actually, I haven't had a fight with lag in awhile. *knock on wood* With the connection problems this game has, you'd think it was made by SCEA, haha :)

Roy Jones Jr. | Jason Hart | KO | 1:03 Rd 3

GG

My 3rd person fight summary:
From the start it had the makings for a great fight after the match finally started; security had to escort a few rowdy fans that were lagging the match.

At the opening bell it was Hart who was not afraid to walk Jones down and trade in the 1st round and added at least 3 take-downs to win the round on an anonymous judges scorecard.
The second round Hart tried his same strategy but Jones appeared to be ready and fired his power-punches at will, also adding a couple take-downs and and an arm-triangle counter attempt from the guard to decisively be in position to end it in the final round.
Again in the 3rd, both fighters came-out swinging but Jason the now hurt and gassed fighter had no defense for Roy's power. Roy's left hook rocked Jason back as he then took a barrage of body-shots before an uppercut ended the fight by KO @ 1:03 in the 3rd round.

[Straightedge109]

Just got done getting in some exhibition fights with Vulcan. I do not know as much as I did about this game. I believe he could hold that belt for awhile. The first two fights ended in 2 minutes and the other two made to the second round simply because he was fucking with me. I will learn and I will become a threat eventually.

Nice fight tonight, I was trying get the ground and pound going but couldn't get going with the submission attempts.

I have found my protege everybody. :D I don't know what it is, but maybe the game just clicks in my head for some reason. But we had some good fights. I wasn't trying to sub you out all the time, BUT you can tell I do pride my self on my slams though Straightedge. :D I get alot of hate from people online about my slams like "Learn to play the game" Or some other stuff, But when your gonna punch or kick me and I take you down and slam ya, It's part of the game. :D But you see how my slams are deadly? They take out a good chunk of your stamina that you won't be gaining back really.

I think there's a very fine line with the "learn to play the game" argument. Above all else, people need to remember that it's a fight. If somebody is trying to kick you in the head, and the stand up game is not your strength, obviously, you SHOULD take them down. Everybody should be trying to control the fight from their point of strength.

But in that same token, the person trying to kick you in the head shouldn't be so wild that they allow themselves to be taken down easily. If you're just throwing bombs trying to put the other guy to sleep, how can you blame him for not wanting to be on the receiving end of one of those?

The times when I feel the "learn to play the game" argument is appropriate is when somebody does something like: takedown, attempt kimura, rinse, repeat. When you get a takedown, and you go for a sub without throwing any strikes or trying to advance your position at all, you don't know how to fight, and you're just trying to take advantage of your 105+ submission offense.

The only other circumstance I can think of is when people run in and try to throw 100 body shots before you can block or get out of the way. That's a really minor complaint though, because it is defensible if you know what you're doing. But it does come off as trying to take advantage of the way the game is programmed, rather than being an actual fighting style. But the continuous submission attempts bother me more than anything. That's just pure spam.

[Vulcan2422]

I hear ya Nate. That's why i think it's funny when I get those messages. Cause apparently they think I Spam the Slams so much. It's what My guy is good at and it is what I pride my self in. I don't know why but I sorta anticipate what the guy is going to do so i can do a reversal. I'm damn good at reversals if i can Say so my self, but that's only cause I sorta anticipate it. I said it a million times before. I love being a 98 With normal ratings really. The only thing I have above a 90 is my Sub off and thats maybe at a 95 or lower (IIRC). But I love going into a fight with a guy who made his fighter 115 and losses to me cause he doesn't know how to control his Stamina and just goes wild throwing punches. That's why I love it when people come running towards me and try to throw 100 body shots, cause I will reverse one and then take them to the ground. I love this game just for the sheer fact that If you got the smarts and strategy, you can win against people who are way above you. Hell I got defeated by a ranked 70 only cause he knocked me out, But i said after wards to him I respected him cause he put up ONE hell of a good fight.
