UFC 229 Stat update

Re: UFC 229 Stat update

LOL.

I'll try to add some facts to the discussion (even though I think people here enjoy speculation more).

Did EA give Conor unrealistic stats in UFC 3 because he's the cover boy? No. 100% No. If anything, the team (including me) focused on trying to avoid what happened with UFC 2 where Conor had great grappling stats. I think we did a pretty good job with that on FW and LW. WW is another issue.

Did the UFC force EA to give Conor unrealistic stats? No. They did have input on his and several other fighters stats. Some they thought were too low. Some were too high. With that said, there werent any drastic changes. For example, there wasnt anyone who was rated a 92 in an area and the UFC demanded we change it to a 95.

So what happened with Conor at WW?I honestly dont know. It couldve been an oversight by the team (doing 25 ratings for 250 plus fighters can lead to mistakes especially when you dont know how the meta will flesh out). It couldve been the UFC requesting a change. I really dont remember. I could backtrack and try to find out but it really doesnt matter at this point.

Why is the update taking so long?The guy who releases the updates is taking a well deserved vacation and I dont know when he will release them (I'm hoping its this week). It has nothing to do with Conor. The team released their suggested changes to Conor (and fighters in the last few events) the day after the PPV. I dont know if EA will use them or not (they have been pretty great about going with most of our changes) but the delay isnt due to the team "trying to figure out how to nerf him."

Easier to Nerf Connor than to buff khabib right ?

Dude can't even do his most effective technique in this game.

Hmm

Those answers are exactly what Dana White would want us to think.

I think Aholbert has been paid off tbh

We cant do both? LOL.

No bull****..... I chuckle at alot of the ratings discussions here. Many of you have no clue how this stuff works (some of you do though). The biggest and really only limitation we have when it comes to ratings changes is that EA doesnt like making changes to fighters who havent fought recently. Thats really it.

The more you fight...the more likely that you will see a ratings change. Conor hasnt fought in 2 yrs so our hands were tied before the Khabib fight. Khabib hadnt fought since April and even though he got a buff then, we cant justify another one until he fights again.

I know you guys would love for us to make changes to fighters stats anytime the meta makes someone OP or UP but thats not how it works.

I'm confused, are they going to buff Khabib for the Conor fight?
Or are you saying they can't buff him again because they already buffed him in April?

I cant tell you what they plan to do. With that said, when has the team refused to buff someone coming off of a big win espically when more skills in that fight?

My point was that there is no reason they cant Buff Khabib and Nerf Conor. The only thing preventing us from changing someone is if they havent fought. Conor and Khabib fought recently soooooooooo...........

Re: UFC 229 Stat update

That's sarcasm ...too me what's the point of buffing khabib now or later if he can't trap your legs in half guard or against the cage .

Is it just me or are dudes arms kinda short too clinch ...yeah I know it's just me .

I gotcha now, I read your last post wrong. I thought you meant they said they can't buff someone more than once within a certain amount of time even if they fight twice.

Yep, this made it sound like Khabib had to fight once again after Conor to get a ratings change imo

Thats my bad. I was typing too fast.

Honestly WW Conor, aside from Power and a few other things that should be toned down, generally feels pretty spot on. His hooks are always devastating, but like you've said before there are plenty of options in WW that pretty much maul Conor. Now FW Conor with 94 Body Strength, 96 Leg Strength and LW Conor with 94 Body Strength and 98 Leg Strength, that's a bit overkill. 90-90 for each is more than realistic.

As long as he doesn't get a buff for TD Defense because Conor Blatantly:

a. Pulled on Khabib's Shorts to avoid getting set up for a TD multiple times. (GIFs on Reddit.)
b. Stuck his toes in the cage so he wouldn't get taken down.
c. And this is the one that had Khabib raging at Herb Dean: Sticking his fingers inside of Khabib's gloves. Plus the illegal elbows to the back of the head.

Also- Conor's FW Striking Stamina is suddenly 90, and his endurance is 92?

Re: UFC 229 Stat update

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think you meant “get your head out of your ***” [emoji23]

My main point is/was that Conor is a B+ fighter at best, and that he’s overrated in game but I see you’ve eurostepped around that. My other point also stands that he’s getting washed by a good amount of the LW guys, but continue to cap for him.

And your whole last sentence is just goofy

Yes he is over rated in this game theres no doubt about that. His stance switch should be around 90, his blocking is way too high, and his heart should be dropped. You're another kind of ridiculous if you think a 2 division world champion should be ranked a B+, a gatekeeper ranking

Re: UFC 229 Stat update

Switch stance. I have never seen a community on OS so obsessed with a stat that means so little when it comes to the actual game. Doesnt mean there cant be changes to it but it means so little.

Yh Conor was using his "veteran experience" a ton in that fight.
