GameSpot: How do your fighter ratings work? What attributes does each fighter have? Can attributes change over time?

John Edwards: Fighter ratings are based on an average of all of a fighter's Attributes (Strength, Speed and Cardio) and Fighter Skills (which reflect things like Standing Striking Offense or Submission Defense). Higher overall ratings generally reflect a fighter who is dominant and extremely versatile, exhibiting no major weaknesses.

While a fighter's ratings definitely play into the outcome of a match, player skill represents a much greater factor overall. The game is after all a game, and not a number crunching simulation. It wouldn't be very much fun if there were matchups that were completely unwinnable based on a fighter's Attributes or Fighter Skills, would it? Having said that, Attributes and Fighter Skills are still a very important aspect to the gameplay and ones that make every match play out a little differently from a strategic standpoint by allowing players to craft game plans around a fighter's strengths or weaknesses.

Official UFC fighters are meant to be representations of their real life counterparts, so their attributes are not modifiable.

To rec a man’s post without tossing him some praise is shameful.

i like how the commentary

is a bit educational, giving people who are really being exposed to the sport some more info about their favorite fighters

like when it talked about greg jacksons camp or chuck liddell’s career

ps if jardine ever knocks out anderson silva via high kick i will give everyone at BE with more than 100 posts $1.

im not impressed with your performance

Who is the lucky programmer who got to model the boob physics for this game?

Keep firing Assholes!

but what about Goldberg

If you think he is the John Madden of MMA now, imagine hearing him prerecorded over and over and over when you play.

I did not even think of that. That is going to be awful

That's great, but how does it affect Lyoto Machida?

You’ll probably be able to turn off the commentary.
