Updating Fighter Records Question

mking55 · 01-24-2004, 04:55 PM

I have seen some of the dedicated and tedious work that has been done by a few people, (Rocco to pick the most obvious), with regards to getting boxrec #'s, birth dates, career dates, etc. for those fighters lacking them.

There are quite a few throughout the database. And, if someone has OFFICIALLY answered this question, I am sorry but I didn't see it anywhere. I have looked but perhaps I've missed it.

Is this information that is being posted on the boards filling in missing data, being added to the offical TBCB database of fighters to be released with future patches?

If the answer is no, I then have to make a decision on whether to manually update my DB and possibly disregard any new DB's that become available.

If the answer is yes, the official one is being updated and will be released again, then perhaps I should wait and not do this manual stuff that may get overwritten.

Is it possible to get an 'official' answer to this query, or be directed to where the company intentions on this matter have been posted?

Thank you.

In the hopes that my efforts would be of some use to someone, I did not wait for a reply before I found the missing data from the following divisions:
MiddleWeight
SuperMiddleWeight
JuniorMiddleWeight
WelterWeight
JuniorWelterWeight

I have posted the information in their own threads.

However, could I please get an answer to the question posted in the top thread?

Thank you.

I'm on the case right now. It's proving to be a much larger job than I'd hoped. Literally a couple thousand corrections. I hope to have a 100% accurate database very soon and I will post it along with the huge and (almost) all new photo archive I'm putting together. Done alphabetically through P, so just under 3/4, and there are currently 2180 photos in the upcoming release. He, someone even more anal than you is gettin' it done.

It is good that there is someone more anal than I. I was concerned.

Will your corrections be in the official database?

Thanks.
