  5. 102 *SPOILERS*

    in General MMA / UFC Forum

    Posted

    I was saying it all last week, why the fuck were Nog and Silva the underdogs? i bet on both of them winning (both on the game and real online betting) and just loved it. The only problem i had was that fuck Leben....he was odds on favourite and ruined my accumulator.
    Favorites and underdogs are picked by who bookies think people will bet on, not who is actually better. Sometimes you get wacky odds if a lesser known but superior fighter is facing off against a well known opponent. The face recognition person gets the odds set in his favor purely because people will bet on him on a basis of knowing their name. That's not the case here but is somewhat similar - Nog and T. Silva were both coming off horrible looking performances. Nog looked half dead against Mir and Silva got messily devoured by Machida. So the bookmakers looked at that and thought that most people would bet against those guys. And of course people are going to go for Randy. No explanation on Jardine though, people just like that goofy looking guy, I guess.

  12. Whole Fight vs. 10 Must

    in General Game Discussion

    whole fight means the whole fight is scored as one. (i believe pride used to be like this, and dream is currently? correct me if im wrong.)

    You are wrong. PRIDE's system was to automatically give the decision to the Japanese fighter. If there was no Japanese fighter, give the decision to Dan Henderson.

  13. Best fight ever :p

    There have been other fights like this. It's what happens when a fighter has themselves set to high counter, but consistently doesn't make the roll to actually throw a counter punch. They just end up stuffing a lot of takedowns and never actually engaging in any action.

  15. Cap on primary skillpoint distribution

    I'm going to hijack the thread and ask people to post links to sparring only gyms that use this method. If people have used mutiple accounts to create sparring partners then we'll just delete their accounts for cheating. Long term the solution is not limiting what fighters people can create but fixing the training so that creating fighters for sparring doesnt work.
    I can't speak to multiple account abuse (can you see IPs to check that?), but I have noticed a few gyms that seem to otherwise fit this criteria.

    - Low weekly fees.

    - No coaches.

    - Low number of player slots, all of which are filled.

    - Heavy duty sparring schedule.

     

    I'm not saying these guys are abusing and definitely not making accusations about account sharing, I just think these gyms could be looked at closely.

  16. MMA Steroid Busts: The Definitive Timeline

    in General MMA / UFC Forum

    Posted

    Is steroid use an epidemic in MMA?
    Yes, because MMA is a professional sport. All professional sports (except sports like golf or curling) have heavy steroid/HGH use. It's just a question of motive - these athletes are literally putting their livelihoods on the line, they will do whatever it takes to win.
    Or are most of the fighters who have tested positive simply the victims of inept athletic commissions, shady nutritional supplements, and tainted goat meat?
    Yes, at least to the part about athletic commissions. They are historically terrible. And it's not goat meat, it's horse meat.

     

    Also, it was good to finally get some proof that Kevin Randleman is, in fact, not human.

    - Kevin Randleman, for submitting a urine sample that lacked human hormones, following his submission loss to Mauricio Rua at PRIDE 32. Said NSAC Executive Director Keith Kizer: “It was either allegedly non-human urine or urine from a dead human being.” Randleman admitted that he submitted a fake sample because of the large amounts of painkillers and antibiotics he was taking at the time due to a lung infection. He was suspended from competition for one year.

     

     

     

  18. Noob Questions

    in Noob help!

    Another noob question...

    Let's say I create new fighter with 110 points in boxing, so he sucks at other overall skills.

    But then I don't assign points for, let's say, punches and striking defense (that would logically be good for boxers), but I choose to assign points for takedowns, sub offense and defensive grappling.

    Which skills are then used for calculating fights?

    Example scenarios:

    1. - I'm a "wonderful" boxer and if I fight against a BJJ brown belt with "useless" boxing and "useless" MT, and he chooses bad tactic of stand-up fighting all the fight, big chance is I'll KO him, or

    - I won't KO him cause I'm "useless" at punches?

    2. I'm a "useless" wrestler and BJJ white belt, but have "wonderful" takedowns, sub offense and defensive grappling, will I excell against someone on the ground?

    Thnx in advance for taking your time to reply.

    This is a complicated question. The only person who can really answer it is Mike Tycoon, and I don't think he will. There's been a discussion of it in this thread over here, but all that really came out of that was that they are connected but no one knows the degree to how much one affects another.

     

  22. The Invictus Thread

    Thank you for bumping a 7 day old thread with nothing to add to conversation yourself, Grifter. I like this thread anyways. Less whining I have to hear.
    Hey Invictus, I noticed you're not into hearing whining. I cannot figure out why you're reading this thread so obsessively.
