Viewing Opponents Record

[GrimLeiper]

I suspect I already know the answer to this, but why was this removed? I asked on a UFC 3 Facebook page some time ago and was informed that people weren't happy their records could be seen by opponents. Is this the reason? Seems petty (damn Snowflakes) but in this day and age of information sharing, I understand it needs to be taken seriously.

Regardless, I miss it, very much so! I remember winning my first fight against a Div 7 or Div 8 player after viewing their record and it felt like such an achievement, knowing that the grind had finally paid off (I floated between Div 6 - 7 for a while on UFC 2). Still remember that first win against a Div 8 player - Cain Velasquez mirror match and the guy absolutely destroyed me in round one. Ended up KOing him in round two when he opened up too much. Probably not deserved, but I could still see the improvement I had made.


Numbers and stats don't always give a clear picture of how good someone is, but I do believe this helped (at least in my mind) in terms of assessing my own improvement. There's no alternative that fills this void for me and Ranked just feels a bit bare because of it.


What you guys think? Any talks of this making a return? (my glass is half full today).

I agree, it was fun being able to view other people's Fighternet cards. I can't think of any reason not to have it in the game.

Re: Viewing Opponents Record

I always looked at my opponents record after. We should be able to see their fighter score too. (maybe optional as to whether people can see it?) I used to mostly just play UT so I missed it less in ranked.

Re: Viewing Opponents Record

I'm with all y'all on this ----

in fact, I hope for UFC 4 they not only bring back being able to see your opponent's record, they go far beyond that.

I want access to a whole mess of analytics.

Who has the best striking accuracy in the world? Who has the best TD and TDD accuracy? I'd love to see leaderboards to rank/sort/filter those types of stats, and many more.

I'd also like to see the Rivalry feature expanded upon. I really do like that in UFC 3 ----- nothing like entering a game and seeing a Bronze, Silver, or especially GOLD Rival --- before you can even read the name you know it's going to be a big fight.

I'd love to be able to view/sort data related to at least MY rivalries with others.

I can understand why EA may not want to expose a player's full rivalry history to the masses (GRIEFING lol as if we don't have enough of that already in this world) ---- but at least for MY rivalry data, I think I should have full access to it.
