This is something I haven't seen talked about yet, but is a aspect of the game, that IMO, could use a lot of tweaking. As it stands in EA UFC 2, it seems to be rather inconsistent.
I have 2 main point's I'd like to bring up.
1)Visual Damage doesn't seem to have any set parameters determining when and what visual damage appears. Or if it does, the system itself just comes off as wildly inconsistent.
Sometimes after 1 exchange, both fighters have black eyes 10 seconds into the fight. Sometimes you go to war for 3 rounds and look fine. Sometimes you can land massive Overhands, and Head Kicks, and nothing, but then eat 2 baby punches on the ground, and get a huge black eye.
2)Not enough range of damage. I feel like guys go from zero to black eye immediately. What about all the areas in between? Or even more severe damage if someone really takes a beating. Hematomas, Closed Eyes, Broken Noses.
Now this depth of Visual Damage only works if point 1 is improved upon though. It can't just be randomly showing up in every fight. It needs to be appropriate.
