Ok so I have a question: How I lost the 2nd round in this fight. http://mmatycoon.com/fightcommentary.php?FTID=711267 . My opponent attempted but landed no standing strikes, I took him down in less than a minute, he reversed it. He did/attempted nothing from the top. I attempted 2 subs from the bottom and reversed it on him. He was in top position for aproximately 1 minute total. And the ref stood it up after the 4 minute mark. He attempts a few more strikes but none land. All 3 judges scored this round for him. As far as I can tell he went 0/10 in standing strikes, stuffed 6 takedowns, did 1 reversal on the ground and had top for about 1 minute. While I went 1/7 on takedowns, 0/3 sub (2 from my back, 1 from top), have 1 reversal, 1 advance position (guard to half gaurd), 0/3 ground strikes, about 2 min top control. I won the decision but someone explain how I lodt this round. Is this sort of thing happenig to anyone else? I feel like the ground scoring changes went to far in the other direction if ineffective agression on the feet somehow trumps a more effective ground game. Maybe fight stats broken down by round could help people figure out how they lost rounds like this. Side note it was fighters 2nd fight and my takedowns were only set to 15% attack, 20% counter so the volume of attempts was primarily an artifact of the way the program happened to run this time.

So I've been playing the game for a few years now, though I rarely make board posts. I agree that tweaking the current system is a better option then puting a whole new one in place. Although I seem to be in the minority here, I am absolutely opposed to having the judges be biased toward certian styles. Is it more realistic, probably. But inconsistent judging is one of, if not the biggest issue in real MMA today. Do we really want to recreate the screwed up parts of real MMA in the game or have a game where that BS doesn't happen (as often at least). Posting the judges biases the day of the fight is still problematic because of the world wide nature of the game. If my fight is at 6am my time and the bias isn't posted until the night before I may not even have a chance to adjust. I like to set my sliders a week or so out and make adjustment once closer to the fight so if things come up in RL I at least still have a strategy set even if I can't log on the day or two before a fight. As for the ground game, I am speaking as someone who likes ground fighters. the +10 for attempted subs is WAY to high. I could probably be accused of spamming subs in some of my fights, but that is because I HATE decisions. Trying hard to finish on the ground shouldn't be penalized; I don't understand why being very aggressive on the feet should be praised, but the same level of aggression on the ground be looked down on! I think there should be differentiation between threating with a sub and an actual attempt. As it is throwing your legs up for a triangle is viewed the same whether you lock it in and really go for it, or if you throw them up and they just get shrugged off. I don't think threating with a sub should get many points, but an actual attempt, even if it is defended should be scored more than it is now. Other than real sub attemps, I agree with, I think it was Mentors comment, that attempts in general shouldn't be counted much. As for spamming subs, this brings me back to the difference between threats and attempts. High level grapplers, in RL MMA, may only really go for a couple of attempts per round, but they threaten with many more. threatening with a sub can make an opponent have to adjust which can open other opportunities. It doesn't take much energy as they aren't really putting much into it, unless the chance to really sink it in comes. As for takedowns. a successful takedown should be scored in conjunction with how long dominant position is maintained or how much damage is done once the fight is on the ground. This will lower the incentive to try and win decisions with a bunch of takedowns and nothing else. Over all I think on the feet/clinch damage should be the main factor in scoring, but on the ground it should be balanced with positional control and actual sub attempts.

Duckin' you? You've turned down contracts that would have put us in the same org when we were both at 55. Sound more like you were duckin' me! It's signed bitch. You better go get family pictures done 'cuz I'm gonna crush your ugly ass face. I guess it'll give you an excuse to go get the plastic surgeon and fix that mug.

A Message from Willy Wonka to Lik Alotadik: It's finally going to happen, Lik. At GAMMA #399 your mouth is finally going to catch up with you boy. You been talkin' shit for years now and ducking me at every turn. Well the contract is signed from my side, you going to sign it, or you going to prove what a bitch you truly are!?

Holy Shit! I just won a fucking jet!

What is the point of winning a free avatar!? So I win the right to have something I don't have the skill to make or have to pay someone else to create? What kind of useless crap prize is that!
