Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Oh definitely, I didn't say it was JUST precision though. Me mentioning that, is also saying to buff his accuracy along with giving him a SUB Defense buff. What good is power if his accuracy stat is low? Case in point, Kevin Lee, who definitely has the power and you see it on his opponents faces when he lands, but lacks the accuracy in game and IRL to be even more effective when he lands.

94 Power and 94 Accuracy, along with a 97 Sub Defense since he survived a 10-8 grappling round against Souza would be fair too.

I agree with these buffs for sure, dude is a beast but currently his only really good stat is his speed with the fluidity perk.

Tap Already Level 4


Striking:

Striking Speed to 89
Power to 91
Accuracy to 89
Blocking to 89
Head Movement to 88

Body Strength to 88

Leg Strength to 90

Toughness to 90 (Eye pokes from this fight come to mind)

Heart to 89


Marlon Moraes

Don't know why his clinch is so weak, considering his body of work in WSOF and his background in Muay Thai as a Champion so I'll suggest these too.

Clinch Throws to 89

Clinch Grapple to 90

Top Game to 91

ADD- Guillotine Level 3, DOM Sprawl, FG Bottomband 2 Gate Sub Counter.

Footwork to 91



Renato Moicano


Yes, he lost, but these changes are WELL overdue for him.

Against Ortega he displayed great striking, jumped a level against Cub, and looked pretty solid for Round 1 against Aldo, albeit it being a feeling out round in a sense, I sincerely vouch for these changes for him, he deserves it.

ADD DOUBLE LEG LEVEL 2. He literally double the hell out of Stephens in their fight, how he does not have a double leg is beyond me.

ADD Spinning Side Kick (Head) Level

ADD Kickboxing Combos Level 1

Striking Speed to 92

Power to 92 (For Pete's sake he dropped Swanson with a Jab, glad that's Level 4 now though)

Footwork to 93 (Kattar, Stephens, Ortega fights)

Accuracy to 90

Striking Stamina to 90

Endurance to 90 (One of the highest strike outputs in the division, second to Holloway)

Chin Strength to 89

Body Strength to 89 (Was taking some lethal body hooks from Aldo)

Toughness to 89

Heart to 89

Going to add to this


Opportunist from Level 3 to 4

Rear Body Hook to Level 3

If possible swap out Ground and Pound Level 3 for either Body Snatcher Level 3 or Counter Puncher Level 3. Although due to that finish, and the finish against Stephens, Body snatcher is more suitable.


How Cub Swanson has body snatcher and not Aldo is beyond me.

Speaking of perks


Jeremy Stephens

Attack the Base Level 2.

José Aldo

Level 2 --- 3 Jab
Level 2 ---3 Hook
Level 2 ---3 Rear Hook
Level 2 ---3 Lead Leg Kick

Completely huge staples to Aldo's career, and they have been precedent in all of his solid performances.

Aldo is one of the most effective dutch kickboxers in the sport. He’s brutally powerful and fast, working in short, explosive movements that allow him to suddenly do huge amounts of damage.

He doesn’t rely as frequently on flashy techniques, instead dominating his opponent with smart boxing and his infamously punishing low kick.

At range, Aldo is a really nasty boxer. Since his first bout with Edgar, Aldo has relied on the jab more often. He uses the punch masterfully, jamming his opponent’s attempts to close the distance with ease. He also feints the punch well, allowing him to land the punch more accurately and throw off his foe’s head movement.

Aldo is known for his tactical movements and pivots, and prior to the aforementioned rematch with Edgar in UFC 200, his first fight with former lightweight champion Frankie Edgar that it became a focus of his output.

The first round of their fight was a clinic in the jab, and that was the story from rounds 1-3.




Whenever Edgar attempted to lead, Aldo would fire a piston-like left hand as his opponent cut an angle, repeatedly landing flush. With the exception of a right hand into a takedown in the second round, secured off of a caught low kick, Edgar was never anything even resembling competitive in rounds one and two.





- Solid use of the Jab with Aldo against Mendes in their Fight of the Year.

The Straight Left Hook (2-3) is a common combination Aldo throws, and it makes absolutely no sense for his left hook to not be at the same level as his straight.



Aldo dropping Mendes with the aforementioned Straight Lead Hook.


(Feels good that my gifs now show!)

Just so y'all don't forget.


And AGAIN


Crushing Presence Level 4/5 for Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Honestly , it is not JUST precision. He has dropped all 5 of his last opponents even if he didn't KO them. You can't just drop people left and right and not have power. His power is 89 which is not very high for someone who has been dropping people easily in every fight recently.

KG has dropped those 5 opponents with the same left hand though. 89 is not bad at all if that straight is level 4(+) and his supporting perks indeed support his heavy hand and counter punching ability. Giving the guy 94 power would actually ruin him imo. He’s a tank with 1 heavy cannon.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

His precision is a big thing. If anything, he also should get a significant sub Defense buff, being that he survived a 10-8 grappling round from Jacare Souza, who's Sub Offense is 103 if you combine it with his perks.

I agree, I'd like to see something like;

Power 89>91
Accuracy 91>93
Head Movement 89>92

Sub Defence 88>92

KG has been underrated since launch really, his post-Jacare buff was a massive help at making him feel much more accurate and playable but he still needs a little work IMO.

I realized Burns got a buff in December already. There were 2 PPVs in December and he got one after the Holloway/Ortega PPV. He got a power buff plus a few others.

Dude, 89 is still too low. Conors KO punch is his straight left as well. Everything else is just a distraction. But Conor still has a super high power stat.

Was gonna say the thing actually.


I'm surpised there's not a perk for straights.

Where? Hes terrible everywhere.

[aholbert32]

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Where? Hes terrible everywhere.

In December he got buffs in power, blocking, footwork, head movement, clinch grapple and strike stamina. He is 14th in Power amongst 40 plus LWs. He's 10th in Sub O. He isnt "terrible" everywhere.

I guess you wanted a bigger buff but it is what it is. You should probably be a bit more realistic when expecting buffs of fighters who are mid tier. You should probably relax a little bit with the hyperbole.

Nothing hyperbolic about that at all. You yourself said you wanted to buff him and forgot....

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

That was an oversight on my part. I'll suggest some changes for him on the next update. What sucks is because I screwed up and forgot to submit my suggestions for him, it will likely be February (after the next PPV) before he gets changed. I'm pissed at myself for this one.

GPDs post detailing changes from the patch you are now saying Gil was buffed in.

Nothing for Burns.

Was hoping to see a buff for my man Gil Burns, but still some good stuff here.

My post, which you replied to.

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Nothing hyperbolic about that. You yourself said you wanted to buff him and forgot. He's basically unusable as is.

I never described him as unusable. In fact, in the thread that corresponds with the update he was buffed in, I see comments where people are excited about the buffs.

I was confused because you stated that he hadnt been buffed and I completely forgot that we did 2 updates in December (we usually only do 1). He was buffed in the early December update so I dont know why you would be expecting a second one when he was already buffed.

Anyway, sucks that you think he is "unusable". Others dont. I'm OK with someone who's biggest win is over OAN being mid tier. That seems about right to me.

[RomeroXVII]

Re: EA UFC Stat Change Request Discussion Thread

Yeah, mid tier is mid tier, and he's pretty usable. I've used guys like Leonardo Santos and beat quality players before too, so this notion that Burns in unusable is odd to me.

Unusable are dudes like Joe Soto to me lmao.

Oddly enough I enjoy using Joe Soto, he has a surprisingly nasty ground game and is one of the few fighters with both the mounted heel hook from submissive mount and the knee bar from submissive half guard arm-trap.

But it's all subjective I guess. He is totally useless on the feet though, his hands exist solely to set up his TDs.

Jake Matthews is my unusable fighter personally, his stats suck and were made worse after his loss to Rocco Martin, he has basic strikes and a basic ground game, he just doesn't feel good at all.

I do think Burns could have higher power and top game, he dominated OAM and hurt him 3-4 times, a buff for that performance is totally warranted IMO. But I'm also happy he's got the buffs he has, he SUCKED at launch.
