UFC 2010 Undisputed Overall Ratings Revealed

[Stumbleweed]

If they have the best fighters in the game set to 79, I highly doubt you could make a CAF higher than that unless you got extra points or something beyond the initial creation allocation. No way they allow CAFs online rated higher than the best real fighters... Plus, I assume that ranked matches won't accept CAFs regardless, so I don't think we'd see a ton of them online anyway except in custom matches.

But yeah, hopefully these overalls don't mean all that much and the fighters are well-differentiated by their skillsets and move lists. I just really don't want guys like Anthony Johnson reversing good ground fighters at-will just because the timing on the flick was right. I've been able to reverse Shogun/Machida with Rampage a few times, but it was rare and required perfect timing... hope that's the case in the full game.

Interesting ratings to say they least but agree with everything you just said.

If this is what it seems like, where overall plays in very little and specific skills decide more... EA needs to take notes for their football series...

Why does it matter, does it make them any better to have an 90 overall rating? If they decided to put say GSP at 90, they would scale everyone up to 80+. You end up with the same situation where the range of ratings are +/- 10. Does it really matter? Overall rating is just a number.

yeah but that number affects the gameplay. i also dont have a problem with the top fighters topping out at 79 but when the worst fighter on the game is only a 69, thats just not a big enough disparity for me. im afraid a guy like GSP or anderson silva arent gonna be as dominate as they are in real life. and if we can max out our CAFs at 100, then online is gonna go to ****.

[mikenoob]

A fighter is only as good as the user. Also, who said Silva can't dominate a guy in the upper 60's? Look at NBA Live, their ratings are pretty low with not much guys in the 90s or 80s. A 79 rated player is MUCH better than using a guy at like 69. Their scale isn't as small as UFC so that must mean the top end fighters with the higher overall number will fight much better than the lower numbers.

[Gotmadskillzson]

maybe their goal was to have people to really get to know the fighters and actually play with them to determine who was clearly the best. It is a lot harder to determine that if everybody is separated by a handful of points.

So in a way it could be looked at a good marketing strategy by THQ. Because you know casuals will always flock to the highest numbered person anyway. They do that with every sports game. So being the highest is only a 79 which is GSP and BJ Penn, and they only one number higher then a dozen other fighters, it will force in a way for even the casuals to truly learn the in's and out's of each fighter.

Because even though GSP for example is 79 over all, his striking might only be average, wrestling superior but BJJ average as well. So therefore instead of over all mattering the most, individual skill set ratings matter the most.
