Jay's Tycoon Tips

Editorial by Jay Lawrence

The topic of this article is The Island -

This was a special request from a few managers so I am going to roll with it.  However, I will premise this by letting you know I was an Island virgin until just a few days ago. I am not an expert by any means on The Island play and most of this article will be a compilation of information I have gathered from other managers and the forums.

Before joining The island, one should understand what it is.  The Island is a 6 month long competition which starts and ends on a specific date.  The unique thing about The Island is no money can be inputted into it and each season starts completely fresh; almost like a brand new rendition of MMATycoon every 7 months.  Wait! You said it is 6 months long, how come it is every 7 months?  Well, The Island competition goes for 6 months, and then there is a 1 month off season before the next season started.

The Island is currently in the 6th season and it just started on 9-2-2016.  So if you haven't made a fighter yet, you better go do it quick!  But Jay...I am out of fighter slots. No you're not!  The coolest thing about The Island is MMATycoon gives you 1 special fighter slot just for creating an island fighter.  There truly is no reason why you DONT have an Island fighter.

Creating an Island fighter - Training on the island is tough due to lack of funds and good gyms.  So your creation needs to be good from the start. But remember, everyone is on an even playing field, so strategize well.  Also, season 6 already has 2 MMA orgs and 1 Kickboxing org, so choose your poison.

Creating an Island company - a low supply and high demand makes The Island a great place to try out your first company.  As of the writing of this column there is only 2 clothing stores, 3 orgs, and 0 nutrition companies.  Bear in mind there is not a huge influx of money, but what you make during the Island season you get to keep at the end and the money grows fast on The Island.  Companies who start earlier will succeed better, plus you will get valuable experience in running an org which you can carry back to the main land.  Hype goes up FAST in The Island, so having an org there is never a bad idea.

The Island conclusion.  At the end of the season there will be big tournaments in each weight class, MMA and Kickboxing.  After the tournament you will be able to travel your fighter to any city you want for free.  Your fighter will also have HUGE hype and be able to land some major contract $$$.

Whether you are a new manager or you started playing MMATycoon when the rings were circles drawn in the dirt; You should have at least 1 Island fighter.  Really, why not?
