Not trying to be a jerk, just actually curious. If you are just playing for fun doesn't that take fluidity and realism out of your gaming experience?

This game is and will for ever be digital, there is no way to create a truly analogue experience unless we create a perfect simulator which wont happen, at least any time soon.

So how should the devs handle the digital aspect of the game? Should they treat it as a limitation and ignore it? Or should they treat it as an advantage by promoting it as a point of depth/study and enabling players to study it conveniently?

I think things like frame counting and a dummy record mode would add to the fun. There are two things I believe a lot of FG players love to do in fighting games; counter successfully after reading an opponent and use frame knowledge to punish their opponent successfully. There is no greater feeling than jumping into lab (practice), studying a games system and frame data, then kicking arse in ranked/unranked.

Giving people the convenient ability to find out data/information about the games combat system by themselves would not only make it more fun, it would result in the EA UFC FGC becoming more “involved” and possibly creating a more respectable community.

Exactly, I've asked for this before. It would be great for casual and competitive players.
