Mirror matching

[lbnt149]

Can GPD confirm if mirror matches are in this year? In a game that strives for realism, I can't see how they can justify keeping them in.

My opinion , pretty sure its in

If I had to guess, it'll probably still be in. I hope the stats are closer together and we don't have huge gaps. That will reduce the number of people picking the top 3 fighters in the division everytime.

I personally can’t stand mirror matches but I must admit I have had some pretty epic fights with a mirror match opponent. In ranked it’s impossible to know so you’ll mirror match and have no clue it’s about to happen.

I swear one day I must’ve had at least 6 mirror matches in a row. N I was getting so annoyed cuz I wasn’t even picking too guys. I’ll go n pick Ian mccall n they did the same. I just kept thinking who the f picks Ian McCall haha.

I’d like to be able to see my opponents pick in ranked. Like how they do quick fight online. But it’ll probably be the same.

Haha well I’m exaggerating a bit I guess but I would say within 10 matches 6 of them were mirror matches. I thought I was going. Insane. It’s never happened to me that much in one sitting.

I really hope it turns out like this.

I always said it's ridiculous that it's an option, especially in ranked. Just not seeing who your opponent wants to pick is so ridiculous on its own, do you not want us to enjoy the matches? Let both players agree on a fun match up ESPECIALLY in ranked. No wonder everyone picks the champ when they want to keep their ranked score high, I ended up picking fighters I really don't want to fight as just because I didn't want my ranked score to go down and then I see my opponent has picked the same fighter I didn't even wanna pick.

I literally see no cons in having players on both sides agree to the match ups with their fighters just like fighters accept fights IRL.

I enjoy having those little draft picks in normal matches when you hover over a fighter, then your opponent moves to someone else, until you both settle on a match up you're both confident about, makes the entire experience so much better, and it doesn't take more than 30 seconds on average.

I ended up playing mostly on normal even though the competition was much lower skilled so I had to give up on either generic match ups or low ceiling of skill level. Just really see zero benefit in hiding your opponent picks.


One suggestion I made a very long time ago after EA UFC 1 launched, was to (if the devs really can't detach from discreet ranked picks) have the fighter that both players pick, get locked from the draft and have both players pick again, OR just have the option for each player to ban up to 3 fighters sort of like they do in Smite ranked


But having both fighters see their opponent picks is best.

Mirror matches are the worst. I don't necessarily want them gone though.
