[quote name='Soodmeg']You are right but that is not the point at all. Now I am with you, I hate super CAF, I hate the fact that anyone can be over 100 in this game. Part of the reason for skipping so much sparring was that I didnt really want my guy to be that strong.
Of course if you played on expert you could pat yourself on the back and feel good that in your own mind you didnt cheat. But you have to remember in doing so you are no better or worse than a guy who plays on beginner and makes a monster. The game clearly allows you do this and it is in no way considered cheating so both are fair game, this is what THQ set up not the players. Its simply a horrid joke of a system.
I have played through career 4 or 5 times now 2 on medium and the rest of expert. Looking at the actually stats is where the biggest problem with UFC begins. Having the ability to be a full 40-60 points better than another fighter in a certain regard makes everything pointless beacuse when you are vsing someone of equal skill you will get the win because of the sheer stat difference. (Not couting flash KO and flash subs)
This is coming from a guy who solely uses Mirko Cro Cop. His sub defense is like a 43. Can you understand how laughable it is for him to go up against a guy who has 100 sub offense? 115 sub offense? There is no way for him to win. I have been subed 5 seconds into a matches, 5 min, after 5 rounds with full stamina, no stamina etc. Now you can talk all the bullshit you want about player skill and keeping off the ground but with lets face it you will wind up on the ground at some point....and with how easy it is to start a sub it will come up. And the fact that those stats are so easily attainable is the biggest problem. Again, I barely did anything and got a 97 from Small Light smurf.
I dont want to seem like I am knocking anybody...I am not. I am knocking what I think is one of the worst, "create a guy and bring him online," systems I have ever seen. There is just no way you should be able to be a full 40 -60 points better than someone because they makes a advantage that no skill can really overcome. Hell why do you think every CAF online has 103 sub offense beacuse they know the odds are against everyone else since no UFC fighter can even be that high.
EDIT: Also, I know this isnt gamefaqs and I dont need to do this but they have jaded me so much. I do know how to play my current record is 79-26 no quitting online ( probably should have about 15 more wins do to other quiting.) Please dont take what I said and try to relate it to user skill. I know how to play the game.[/QUOTE]
I will agree with you that there are definitely some problems that need to be ironed out for next years game. I haven't played this game online too much but I just only use and play against UFC fighters. It is also extremely dumb that CAFs can be rated higher than 99 overall. Hopefully the developers will address this for next year because that could help eliminate all of the super CAFs out there. I will say however that this game is overall a very good first effort.
I must also give you props for using Cro Cop online, he is my favorite fighter in real life.
I don't know if you saw my PM I sent you but would sometime tomorrow night work for you to get our fight in?
