1) First of all, I'm not saying they did a good job at the stats. I'm just saying, I want fighters outside the top 10, to have the potential to be better at an aspect of the game than highly ranked fighters. Your suggestion of having someone ranked #7 be better than #15, is something I'm not supportive on.
As for the stats being well done? No, I never said that. But they are OVR stats, a result of 20 stats tied into one number, so its really difficult to draw conclusions on.
Who decides on these stats? Both the UFC and EA. I even think UFC has the final word in it. Obviously EA is guilty too, they are responsible for their own game, and the balance of it.
However, they did a lot of post-launch stat updates for the first game. If Jessica Eye starts dominating then I'm sure they will revamp her stats.
2) Sure you don't have to buy it. My attention went out to the bad representations too. But at the same time, I'm also going to give credit for the ones they did a good job on. Something many people don't seem to do at all.
Hell, if you don't want to buy it, then don't. There are certainly better uses for 60$ than buying a videogame.
3) I won't get into HH's 97 STU as you haven't done your homework on the OVR ratings and what they mean per division. If you think you are not going to get put on your ass when you pick a fighter merely for their STU rating, you might be surprised.
4) I agree. There's a lot of room for improvement on this game, both in gameplay and stats.
5) Keeping tattoos in, is a great way to get free lawsuits filed against your company. Ask 2K how it worked out for them. Lack of depth, I most certainly agree there is a lot of work to be done.
6) I'm not a hater, I'm just saying its ridiculous to put your money into the basket that is UFCRankings. The site is pure filth.
My example of Jessica Eye could as well have been made with my favorite fighter as the main subject. It wasn't about the fighter, it was about the website.
