freestyle wrestling or greco roman

[Slyone14]

So i am interested in making a fighter with à wrestling background. What are the différences between the two? In the game wise also? Is there any benefits in choosing one or the other?

Finally, for those that choose greco, how did you fight in game? Any tips, advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: freestyle wrestling or greco roman

In olympic wrestling, Greco means you can only attack the body from the waist up, meaning everything is throws, and lots of arm and head tie ups. For freestyle you are able to attack (shoot) on the legs to create your offense. In my 14 years of wrestling, freestyle also taught me more defense and reactions than greco did.. *i do know many that prefer greco to freestyle*

it only matters for career, and you start with better clinch stats with Greco, better shooting takedown stats with freestyle.

Im probably going to go with freestyle, just because that is what i was most comfortable with when i was wrestling during my career. more familiar

That's cool, so if I want my fighter to fight like Randy Couture then choose Gréco Roman, if I want to fight like Urijah Faber choose freestyle?

It only affects starting attributes. By the time you ar 10-15 fights in it will not matter. But with Greco Roman, you start with higher clinch stats, and are lower in other areas, For free style, yo uhave better shooting takedowns to start. But by the time you are 10 fights in none of that matters anymore. You are essentially just picking your initial strengths here.
