Right. I've been browsing this forum and the EA one for news on the game in the last few days. I really hope EA aren't listening to this forum or the EA one for advice on realism. I mean this one seems to be much better to be fair. People on the EA forum really don't know their MMA at all. Saying Bethe has elite boxing and cain's wrestling isn't actually that good anymore because of the loss to Werdum. I'm not trying to be an elitist/hipster but yeah.

Since you seem to be an insider on some level... Do you know where they get information on the sport?

The MMA subreddit is a great place for knowledgeable fans. I mean I'm not naive enough to think that EA make decisions solely based on opinions on the internet but I'm sure it has some influence.

As for these ratings, they're not awful. I understand they need to find the balance between popularity and realism. Still tho... some stats are still a little ridiculous. Could have been worse when they're doing stats for so many fighters tho.

Am gutted Yoel Romero is only an 87 tho. He's like the perfect video game fighter, yet they ****ed up his stats.

I actually don't know. I've talked to people at EA over everything accept ratings and I haven't asked who does them.

On top of that he's knocked down a number of opponents in those fights. Aldo isnt even close to those numbers. DJ isnt. Holm isnt. Rockhold isnt. The only people that come close are Dillashaw and Lawler.

Using this criteria, you would be saying boxers like Floyd Mayweather, B Hopkins, Sweet Pea Whitaker are mediocre.

Stats are often the curse of relative comparisons. It makes EA look silly with the current stay system in this game
