Re: Patch to fix corrupt judging Possible?
Has judging in this game ever been properly addressed?
I'd hate to find out you could game the system by:
- Moving forward
- Winning on punch stats (quantity over quality, and anyone whose been a boxing/MMA fan for a while knows this is junk, and a terrible tool to argue decisions)
- Takedowns/Clinches, with no effective use (damage and control), otherwise a last 10 second take down each round to impress the judges is disappointing
- superficial damage. Some people swell and cut easier than others. This is not always, and actually quite often, not the story of the fight. I hope it plays no part
What would be nice to know is how sophistocated the system is. *Clinches and take downs should result in control, damage and working toward a submission
* Ring control doesn't mean operating from the center of the ring, rather managing distance and dictating pace and action
* effective aggression. Punch stats such. 20 damaging counter shots, or flush shots... Just clean strikes is more important that 100 strikes with 50 shots landing, of which all but 5 were glancing and weak due to low stamina
* Which fighter took control and dictated how, when, where the action played out?
* effective defense should be awarded. Same with offense. YOU DONT LOSE A ROUND BECAUSE YOU WERE ON YOUR BACK! if top player is content holding position but ends up defending sweeps and attacks all round, the fighter playing guard won the round
- 10-8 and 10-7 rounds should be used. Most importantly, too many judges are way to hesitant to score a 10-10 round. I get the argument against it, but it's incorrect. There are times no one won the round
Finally, if there really are judge "types" who favor certain disciplines over the other, I don't mind that. I'd say, let's make sure they are reasonably balanced with their tendencies impacting decisions on the margins in close rounds, and I think it would be fun for more personalities (not just striking favored, grapple favored, and balanced), and have the three selected at random each fight.
Anyway, I'd love to know if an official response was ever provided?
