The Complete EA Sports UFC 2 Roster

Re: UFC 2 - Full Roster Reveal

Wow, that is a great roster. I am a bit disappointed in some of the face scans/hair cuts(AlJo...) but oh well.

Notable omissions: Alex Oliveira, Smolka, Breese, Kevin Lee, Rivas.

I usually dont have an issue with stuff like this but......Why doesnt Sterling have his high top fade!?

I'm impressed and very happy. Great roster. Can't wait.

Re: The Complete EA Sports UFC 2 Roster

I disagree. It gives the roster more flexibility. Jones will likely be at HW in 2 fights and I dont want to have to wait on EA to create a HW Jones when they can do it now. I have no issue with having Cormier at HW either given that he fought in the UFC 3 times at that weight.

Your complaint is actually opposite of what I see most people complaining about. Most people are complaining about guys who have fought in multiple weight classes like Masvidal only being in one.

I'm prolly being picky, because it might take away a spot for someone like a Louis Smokla

There is no spot taking. A guy like Smolka likely wasnt added because he's a low profile flyweight and his biggest win came around the time when the roster was likely locked.

If he's not in the game now he was never going to be, I doubt that putting a guy who was already in the game as one weightclass into another "takes up a spot" from someone else

Was hoping to see rob font, but that may have been a reach.

Re: The Complete EA Sports UFC 2 Roster

After taking out duplicates, legends and some retired fighters it looks like my Universe will be starting out with 251 total fighters. No longer will I spend the majority of my UFC time creating fighters. I can actually play instead.

Spoiler

Skimming over UFC's roster these are the fighters I will probably create. I hope they come in DLC though:

Evan Dunham
Ed Herman
Tom Lawyer
Patrick Cote
Lorenz Larkin
Albert Tumenov
Sean Strickland
Daron Cruickshank
Abel Trujillo
Cole Miller
Neil Seery

Then, I'll create a few non-UFC fighters (Palhares, Cyborg, Fedor, etc.) later on in My Universe

Great list of omissions. I'd like to see all of them in at some point. Ed Herman's been in the UFC for 30 years. My dude can't get a roster spot?

I'm struggling to decide whether I want to save myself the grief of creating separate profiles for each division or if 20 will be enough.

Other than the people on your list, I would like to see Andre Fili, Jimmie Rivera, Kevin Lee, Makdessi, Johnny Case, Tibau, Matt Wiman, John Howard and Akiyama.

....it looks like I'll be creating a ton of fighters again.

They could add him in via DLC I'm sure that they're going to add more than just Sage. I assume there will be packs like the last game and if there is there should be three fighters added along with Sage.

I saw things like that on EA's forum, as well. Just because there's some fighters are in more than one weight class or are in weigh classes that they haven't fought in yet in real life, doesn't mean that they took some else's spot. It just means that they are available for more matchups.... which is awesome.

I'm hoping that guys who have already fought in other weight classes are available in those divisions, as well. Recently Cerrone and Masvidal fought at WW, Conor is about to fight at WW, Myles Jury is moving to Featherweight, Tim Boestch is fighting at LHW, etc..

Plus, in the past a lot of Flyweight's have also fought as BW's, Dennis Siver and Jeremy Stephens fought at LW and I'm sure there's plenty of others. I just want as many matchups available to me as possible. And I would much rather them guess in get out in front of it than to have to wait on a patch that may never come... cough, cough Pickett at Flyweight in UFC 1.

Great list of omissions. I'd like to see all of them in at some point. Ed Herman's been in the UFC for 30 years. My dude can't get a roster spot?

Maybe they'll have an old school TUF pack with Ed Herman, Cole Miller, Patrick Cote and Josh Burkman.

I don't think I will need more than two profiles honestly.

Re: The Complete EA Sports UFC 2 Roster

My minor grip aside the roster is pretty damn deep and much better then last year there's at least a good 25-35 fighters per division give or take

Do you mean Forrest Griffin? He is in the game.

Re: The Complete EA Sports UFC 2 Roster

aholbert32, can you say if guys like Rampage and Cro Cop are rated to how they are currently (irl) or if they are rated closer to what they were in their prime?
