No overall. Let the player pick whoever is top is their category, that is, striking vs clinch vs ground. No overall. It will help prevent the system from forcing attributes to a fighter like Connor just to make him top.

Rate then realistically, let us players decide who's the best.

It should have nothing to do with any sort of system, and everything to do with fighter accuracy. Just make the stats realistic, for what that fighter should have if you gauged their real life skills. Period. Forget any auxiliary system, it's not needed. Just give us real to life stats. Also, hiding the OVR would single handedly solve the issue of 90% of everyone picking the same fighters, causing dang near every online match to be against the same ~6 fighters over and over. I swear sometimes it feels like a 10 fighter roster in this game the way everyone just auto picks the highest OVR fighter every match. ex: Mcgregor, Jones, Rumble, Lawler, Woodley, Cain.... Over and over and over ad nauseam....

I agree in theory. We were trying to solve for the problem of UFC forcing underlying stats up artificially so someone like McGregor would have a certain overall.

I'm with you, I hate that and wish it wasn't a thing, but it is.

Also, I think the problem with having no overall number is that it would be an immediate turnoff to casual MMA fans who might otherwise get into this game. Many people have 25 years of Madden and other games in which they've become conditioned to judging everyone they don't know based on relative overall rank

They have to make more stats. The more they have, the easier it would be to separate them in the OVRs. It happens in real life. Not like they can't mimic that. People always get hung up on this OVR crap. The only thing that effects is how they feel they need to compensate. Which is ridiculous since a top fighter isn't always the most diverse. They are just better than their opponents. Which, a lot of times, is only at one aspect. That was just all they needed.

Fighters need ratings and stats. I would give champs and other elite fighters higher overall ratings for sure. I would just use new stat called something like fight IQ to bolster elite fighters overall ratings.

Fight IQ stat only effects fighter AI, so when playing against AI opponent the higher the fight IQ, the better the AI. Obviously fight IQ doesn't effect when you are using a fighter, because you are using your fight IQ.

Champs and others still get higher overall, more balance online, more realism offline.

In all fairness EA are losing out capitalising on a massive gaming fan base, especially when fight games are very popular on PC aswell.

An ego thing? How ironic, since you're the ones constantly boasting about how much better the PC is (you literally just did it) and how much better you are because you play on PC, as if video games matter that much. Seems like you have the ego issues. I wouldn't care if it did come out on PC, but if it doesn't It'll be fine too. Just to see you PC folks cry some more.

Yeah, PC is better. But I don't care enough about video games to care about them looking/running at the top performance. Just doesn't matter to me.

I hope GPD sees this. This sounds like an ideal solution!

To be honest I was pretty happy with myself when I thought of it.
