Quickest and Easiest way to improve Online Ranked

[Ksearyback]

I think it's fair to say the majority (if not extremely overwhelming) number of players get annoyed, frustrated, and/or simply bored by online ranked mode because you, by and large, fight the same fighter 95% of the time in any given weight class.

How great would it be if the set up process where you click the weight classes you're willing to fight in provide one more step: you can select one fighter in each weight that your opponent cannot use.

This would make the game exponentially more fun for me. I fight the same 5 f$&@ing characters 99% of the time. Just give us the chance to avoid Conor, Lawler, Rockhold, Jones -- not because they're unbeatable, but rather to add some variation and fun to this damn game

Been asking for this for a long time. Would love it. Will never happen. I think the UFC plays a part in this too. They want you to be able to use your "favorite" fighters. Even if they are the top rated fighters.

Lol, everyone will just pick the second best fighter in the division. Nobody ever wants to put themselves at a disadvantage.

I still think an equal stats mode is good, then people cant complain.

But yeah, it's hella annoying.

That isn't the point though. Playing against the same characters over and over again is. If you could block Jones and not have to play against another player using him for the 1000th time you played a division, it would help a lot. Even if they pick the second highest rated fighter. This is why most of my time has been spent in Ultimate Team.

I like the equalized stats too, but don't think they mess with the move levels. This alone could still make certain fighters better than others.

Thats not true i put myself at a disadvantage all the time. Im 2-0 wirh cm punk in ranked matches. Both against weidman lol

I'm not against this idea. I'm for anything that solves this problem. I'm just saying that's what people will do.


You know what would be cool? A mode that picks your opponent stats at random like you don't know their stats until the match starts.

So you could be assigned an 84 jones at random vs a 96 ilir latifi. I'd play that mode all day. That would keep things fresh for me.

True but not the point. I was still in div 6 putting myself at a disadvanatage, not knowing how good my opponenet was going to be
