Separate ratings for punch/kick speed/power

[Phillyboi207]

GPD is there any reason this was changed?

And is it possible to have it back. Guys like Diaz have terrible kicks. Or someone like Dan Henderson.

It would definitely help a lot with balance especially considering the new combo system

Yeah, It is my big concern. I don't understand why they changed it.

Yes please. Throwing a kick with diaz looks and feels wrong when it comes at roughly same speed and exact style barbozas do

Combining punch and kick stats into one in an MMA game is absolutely unacceptable.

I don't like this change. Diaz is now a threat with his kicks as if there wasn't enough to worry about with him already. And his kicks are pretty awful so it makes no sense.

tbh this change is unnacceptable, the ea team must know fighters are better with hands or feet e.g. Barboza great kick speed and power but hand power and speed isnt the best.

This means garbrandt is going to have blistering quick kicks when his hand speed is really the main factor of all his wins.

Mike Tyson's kicks are now the most threatening in the UFC

Yh I agree punch and kick speed should definitely be separate ratings

Why does everyone on here think Barboza has bad hands? He's got really, really good hands, it's just his kicks are utterly ridiculous. I agree that the stats should separate but think Diaz is a way, way better example of the issue than Barboza

ok his hand speed is good but power wise he doesnt have it, Cerrone exposed his boxing aswell as mchael johnson. If you give him too much space he will light you up with kicks but stay in boxing range he isnt elite.

Cowboy was getting lit up in that fight before he clipped him, and Johnson landed 10 more strikes despite throwing almost double. My point is that Barboza is a good boxer and a great kicker, so it's not as horrendous if you grouped them together, but Nate is a legitimately bad kicker so grouping that into with his hands which are great creates a totally different skillset with Nate throwing lead high kicks off his jab, whereas Barboza with marginally more pop in his hands is still Barboza

I doubt the UFC would be in favor of this change, yet many claim the UFC is in charge of the ratings.

I don't think anyone's claimed the UFC is in charge of the format, just the values
