Okay, so today I wanted to mess around with something I’ve been thinking about: MMA training and the idea of “overtraining.” I’ve heard whispers, seen some forum posts, all about this “penalty” you get for pushing yourself too hard. Sounds kinda game-y, right? Well, I wanted to see it firsthand.
First, I loaded up my usual save. You know, the one where my fighter’s a beast, almost ready for a title shot. Good stats, solid skills. I didn’t want to risk my main career, so this was a separate experiment.
My usual routine? Train hard, but smart. I mix up the training, focus on different skills, and always make sure to get enough rest. You know, keep that “Training Status” in the green. This time? Forget all that.
The Experiment Begins
- Day 1: I slammed every training session available. Hard sparring, heavy bag work, strength training, everything. My guy was exhausted, stamina plummeting. “Training Status” immediately went red. “Overtrained,” it screamed at me. I ignored it.
- Day 2: More of the same. I pushed him even harder. He was basically collapsing after each session. Stats started to actually decrease. Little red arrows everywhere. It felt brutal, even for a game.
- Day 3-7: Kept at it. The “Overtrained” warning was practically flashing. His skills were tanking. I even noticed he was getting injured more easily during sparring. It was like watching a slow-motion car crash.
The Results (Ouch)
After a week of this madness, I checked his stats. It was ugly. Strength, speed, stamina… all down significantly. Skills I’d spent months building were eroding. He was a shadow of his former self.
I even scheduled a fight, just to see how badly he’d perform. Let’s just say it didn’t go well. He got knocked out in the first round. Easily. By a guy he would’ve crushed a week earlier.
So, yeah, the “mma excessive coaching penalty” is real. It’s not just a little slap on the wrist. It’s a full-blown beatdown on your fighter’s career if you’re not careful.
My takeaway? Listen to the game! It’s telling you something important. Train hard, but train smart. Rest is crucial. Balance is key. Don’t be like me and turn your champion into a punching bag in a week.
I reloaded my save back to before this whole mess, and I’m gonna be extra careful from now on. Lesson learned.
