Difference in CAB Attributes

[FAM CEO]

Has anyone tested the different CAN attributes? I was curious the ris of having a low Head Movement and/or Foot Speed to add to Chin and Cuts/Swelling? Also, Block Strength vs Body and Head Toughness.

Trying to create a variety of CABs for my Legacy

Thanks for any help.

Re: Difference in CAB Attributes

If all of those attributes are low you will be essentially using a fighter with subpar defense across the board. Couple that with a weak-chin and you're going to have a difficult time against top-flight opponents.

I create them in levels. I put an all 60 at 45, all 65 at 40 and so on. I highly suggest this, as it will give you 'rivals' in later stages of your legacy.

I think you all missed the point the OP was trying to make cause I had some questions about this as well.

What is the difference between cuts and swelling? Like why would I choose to raise one of these over the other?

I can answer the rest though:

Stamina - how fast your stamina is depleted throwing punches, and how quickly it regenerates

Body toughness - how much stamina is depleted after taking a punch to the body

Head toughness - how much health his depleted after taking a headshot

Chin - how prone you are to getting stunned or knocked down

Block Strength - how many punches you can take before your block meter goes down

Head Movement - How quickly you can sway your head away...making your opponent miss shots to your head

Foot Speed - how quickly you can move around the ring

my bad. swelling is more gradual. cuts are more immediate. both, however, are important.

Thanks.. exactly what I was looking for. Makes sense now. Stamina is very important in this games. Looks like it determines the strength in your punches. Does anyone max out the Left and Right hand power? Looking at the license boxers most have one different than the other. I am still getting use to the right stick punching and seem to throw mostly right-hand punches.

Re: Difference in CAB Attributes

it depends on what style of boxer I create as to what attributes I assign. I personally always focus on chin and head/body toughness. If I am making an outside AI guy with a smooth or slickster stance I focus on head movement, hand and foot speed, stamina, and power in both hands evenly. If I make a tall guy to keep them at bay, I use the easy or high rise stance with a boxer AI personality. I focus less on head movement and foot speed and keep an eye on power, hand speed, block strength and swelling/cuts with more punch power on the rear hand.

Inside fighters need a lot of hand speed, head movement and power.

Brawlers/sluggers need a lot of power and chin, body and head toughness, cuts and swelling and stamina.

It all depends on the personality and body type of your fighter. Let that be your starting point. Either that or build your fighters body according to the personality you want the to fight with. Either way you can't go wrong.

Ok, I still don't know what is the benefit of maxing out cuts over swelling and vice versa. Not saying I would do that, but what makes one better than the other?

They aren't. If I am creating a knockout artist or great defensive boxer I focus on cuts (90 to 70 swelling). Otherwise I make them even.

I don't either. I usually put cuts at 80-85 and swelling at 75-80. I have been able to last 7-8 rounds without managing my damage meter.

Re: Difference in CAB Attributes

I am really trying to understand how EA handles play now ratings and the overall. I created a heavy weight with 100 in both left and right hand power, but he ended up with 99 Left and 100 Power. Is it because he is right handed?

I tried to create a spreadsheet based on EAs proposed max points per attribute per weight class, but they are not matching. EA stated that no attribute could be 100, but that is not the case.

Any thoughts of help?
