Why EA simplified striking attributes?

Re: Why EA simplified striking attributes?

I think move levels can take care of the differences between power of different sides. Having attributes for the different sides opens things up for exploit, such as only having power in one leg, as you can use only one leg quite well.


To be fair, Barboza's kicks are still much better. But yeah Nate's are too good because the stats issue.

Isn't that what you'd say is..realistic for those who don't switch irl or literally don't use their lead leg for exemple for striking? It's exploiting a weakness, not exploiting as in cheesing a gameplay exploit.

It would makes it so you would hesitate to switch stance even more, on one side you have to considerably be more aware of checking the leg kicks, on the other side you can switch stance but resulting in you having way less power/speed/technique hence posing much less risk to your opponent.

Or am I not understanding what you mean? Cause you did say that the move levels doesn't make that much of a difference.

Yeah, you're going to need to explain how that isn't just realistic. Some people don't kick well with their lead leg, some people have a terrible lead hand

It's a "min-max" exploit for CAFs in Online Leagues, Career Mode and even UT, if you're lucky. Having minimum left leg power and maximum right leg power in Career is such a boring kind of cheese. I found it lame that UFC 2 allowed it. I want a proggression where I don't need house rules to make it interesting.

Differences in side power could be handled by move levels, imo.

I don't think you can do it in Career, because leg power is a single minigame for both legs, but fair enough, that could be really annoying.

I'm pretty sure I did it in Career Mode. But it was a while ago. I might be mistaking it with UFC 1's Career Mode. Thanks for the heads-up.

Okay, interesting...I was wondering what you meant too. U3 doesn't have left and right attributes either, just relied on move levels...

This is a terrible explanation for the change. Most people use roster fighters and play ranked. Any other modes are not a factor whatsoever. Do whatever you want with your CAF cheese there.

I would like to know why they did this. Makes no sense.

Qhy does ea keep dropping the ball.

Re: Why EA simplified striking attributes?

my worry is the speed of kicks as nugget said earlier everyone kicks hard(some more so than others) but its their proficiency in kicking that makes the difference, if they could add a perk that increases leg kick speed that every fighter has and depending on the level depends on the speed of kicks for each fighter

This isn't the only explanation. And I have no idea if this was why they did it. If I had to guess, I'd say it wasn't because of this. This one is just a concern of mine. I care about CAFs, UT and Career Mode.

Needs to be fixed.

Re: Why EA simplified striking attributes?

This was the most bimbo move of the whole development process. This boy genius needs to go.

Re: Why EA simplified striking attributes?

A very strange design decision indeed. Maybe a necessity due to the new combo system?

In any case, I'm not a fan of this change due to the impact on the fight gameplay. I kept quiet on annoyances like ref interaction and punches after a KO but this change is just odd.

No disrespect to our Devs, we have a super amazing, passionate, loving Dev team... But the top brass at EA are for sure using this business model. There are a bunch of articles about how EA has increased there profits by over 800%, while reducing their development costs over the last couple years with the implementation of Ultimate Team and micro transactions. That is for sure their focus, as that's were the profit is.
