Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Clay Guida - should get a little more love after finishing Lauzon and going the distance with Koch. Grappling and health type boosts.

Donald Cerrone - way too high, these are like prime Cerrone stats. 95 submission offense on a guy with 1 submission win in the last 4 years? If I'm stuck with crappy BJ Penn, Cerrone should get the same treatment.

Pettis/Melendez leg strength - 1 fight against killers with vicious kicks shouldn't automatically give you some of the lowest leg health in the division.

Jake Matthews - eye strength +15. Earned some health and striking boosts.

Romero should have the highest block stat, his striking defense is unreal

Agree with the blocking. I think the biggest problem with Yoel is his moves. He only has level 1 combos, makes him far less dangerous than he is in real life.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Yoel should have a higher blocking stat, agreed. He was parrying a lot of Luke's shots and doing well at blocking the leg kicks and head kicks. I don't necessarily agree with nerfing Luke's chin a ton (can be argued tho) but Yoel's blocking stat should be buffed. He often just sits back in a defensive shell before he eventually explodes.

I'm also still a little annoyed with MJ's striking stat. He's so underrated because he's fought so many killers. Barboza has a 94 striking stat but MJ only has an 89 stat.... And Barboza wasn't even in the fight with MJ when they fought... Like he pieced him up in every round. Yes, I'm talking overalls but they should be considered when the margin between them is that wide in these circumstances. He's a better striker than most people he's lost to. He outstruck Ferguson every round too. Gaethje is just a zombie. Diaz is really the only person who has outstruck him in a technical way.

Just comes down to punching/kicking.

He’s primarily a boxer and his kicking lowers his overall speed/power.

With a better rating system he’d have the fastest hands and would be above average in power but his kicks would be below average-bad.

Not much can be done unless they’re able to change the striking stats back to how it was last year (doubt it)

Overalls aren't super relevant, remember? MJ's is being tanked by his switch stat, if you brought it into line with the rest of his stats he'd end up at 90-91, which is pretty accurate IMO. But, he doesn't switch very much (if at all) so it doesn't need buffed. Like, if you ignore his switch stat and do the average, it comes out at 91.3, which I think is fair enough for him.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

But his striking defense is mostly parry based. (He might currently be best at parrying in UFC)

Obviously parries aren't in the game, but does it make sense to give Yoel a great blocking stat when the technique he uses isn't in the game?

Not disagreeing, just being curious.

John “Hands of Stone” Lineker



Striking Stamina 88 (needs to be higher)

Endurance 88 (needs to be higher)



Perk Added: Body Snatcher



Both of these stats are too low compared to other fighters in the division and based off real stats. They need a serious buff. Amongst Bantamweight fighters #2 in total career strikes landed behind TJ, #4 Strikes landed per minute landed (SLpM) at behind Almeida, Font and TJ. Lineker doubled the strikes landed vs Font in their fight, 80 - 40. The top 3 are all about 47% total strike accuracy, where Lineker sits at 43%. He simply has a higher output to achieve his strike totals. Fightmetric “stat leaders” doesn’t do Lineker justice as his stats are split between 2 divisions, but fox sports lists his career in total. I will post links. As a Flyweight, John Lineker is #1 in Strikes Landed per Minute (5.43) and it's not close. #2 Benevidez (3.94) #4 DJ (3.85)



Please add “Body Snatcher” Perk.

When looking at the Top 5 for total strikes landed from fox sports, check out the takedown and pass numbers for all of these fighters. Lineker is the only one with single digits in both. The rest of the top 5 are all high double digits. Simply put, Lineker does his work on his feet where the rest of the top 5 have a large total on the ground with TJ being outstanding in both. Lineker’s Sig strike totals vs Opponents are well in his favor, but the Sig strike Body totals really tell the story. Lineker 290 - Opponents 130. The Body work is viscous. Watch any broadcast and it’s also part of the narrative as nobody backs this guy up. Constant advancing pressure, non stop action. Lineker has Headlined two scheduled 5 round UFC Main Events. McDonald ended in 1, Dodson went the distance.



Lineker vs Dodson (Main Event)

This was a 5 round slugfest of bull vs matador. The final strike totals were Lineker 94 of 323. Dodson 101 of 191. 132 strike output difference. Lineker threw by round, 31, 67, 60, 83, 81. Besides TJ Dillashaw nobody has a higher output over 5 rounds. TJ vs Cruz totals. TJ 130 of 430. Cruz 122 of 312. Lineker still has a higher output than Dom and Cody.



Faber, Moraes, Rivera, Almeida, Assuncao all have higher Striking Stamina and Endurance stats in game. Real stats will tell you otherwise. Please take some time to look at the links and if you can fire up fight pass and watch some Lineker fights.

Faber has need barely mid tier 2 his entire ufc career.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Volkan Oezdemir has a higher power stat than Jimi Manuwa. Imagine actually believing that.

I don't really mind but it's just not right. For anyone curious... Volkan has a 97 stat (2 points away from Rumble). And Manuwa has a 95. If you've seen him fight and his KO's... Volkan is def not a harder hitter than him. The problem is Manuwa often can't hit the high level guys.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

dan hooker... sucks at both striking and grappling in the game but he subbed diakese and he has headkick elbow and knee KO's in the UFC. I don't have his individual stats in front of me but i know his overalls are 85 for striking and 84 for grappling

I dunno about that

Volkan hits HARD lol

Manuwa is a better striker

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

I think he hits pretty hard but his KO's have come from punches the guys he hits haven't seen coming. Manuwa is able to generate quite a lot more power. His one punch KO's are terrifying.

I think people will soon realise Volkan isn't Rumble 2.0 when he has a few more fights. If Rumble would have connected on DC with as many shots as Volkan did... He would have been knocked down or knocked out imo.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Ross Pearson needs WAY better headmovement.

He has some of the best headmovment in the sport!

If "tier c" fighters are gonna be total garbage, at least make em good at the things their actually good at.
