I recently picked up the game. Pretty much just played UFC 3 & didn't touch UFC 4. I played a match last night on simulation settings - no HUD, etc. Pro level difficulty. The fight was Chael Sonnen (me) v Vitor Belfort (CPU).
The match goes the distance. I "lose" by split decision. All judges score the fight 29-28. At the end of the day, I'm not bothered by the result cause it was a really fun fight and I thought it played out great! I'm just confused on the logic of the scoring.
I "felt" like I dominated Vitor on the ground, it seemed like I had more strikes land, more significant strikes land and it felt like I was more accurate in my striking along with controlling the fight on the ground.
So I look at the stats post fight. I (Chael Sonnen) did in fact land more strikes, more significant strikes, was more accurate with my strikes, was 5-5 on takedowns with 4:30 of ground control. I stunned Vitor multiple times - for whatever reason I couldn't finish him off at all. In the 3rd round he stunned me twice - but I was able to recover both times. Yet they scored the fight for him. I can see awarding him the final round due to getting me stunned twice, but the first two rounds I dominated that dude and was genuinely shocked when Vitor's hand was raised.
Bad Guy Inc was not happy about the decision in the post-fight presser.
Anyway, any idea on if I'm way off base or does that result seem wonky? For reference, total strikes landed was 49-42 in favor of me and knockdowns was 1-0 for me. Both fighters stunned a few times, but no one fell to the ground. Plus Vitor's face was bloody and cut up. Virtually zero damage to virtual Chael.
