This has been a pet peeve of mine and I doubt too many people are worried about it but I guess it's worth at least discussing it (that's why I'm posting in the "General Game Discussion" section instead of Improvements). I never liked that every fighter in the game becomes "Elite" at all disciplines and up to this day I haven't been able to change my mind. if you think about it, no fighter in the history of combat sports has been "Elite" at all the disciplines involved in mma. Please let's not get off topic and start a GOAT discussion - obviously not everyone will agree with ratings that I'll pull out of my ass - but off the top of my head, even the best MMA fighters of all time haven't been nowhere near close to quad elite: Fedor in his prime would've been what? "Strong" boxing, "Competent" muay thai, "Sensational" wrestling and a BJJ purple belt? Jon Jones would've had "Abysmal" boxing, "Proficient" muay thai, "Elite" wrestling and a BJJ purple belt as well; GSP would've had "Elite" wrestling but not elite anywhere else; Mighty Mouse might be the one that's the closest to it but even so his striking is not "Elite" across the board by any means. Also no Elite boxer has ever been even mediocre at muay thai; no Elite BJJ player or Wrestling world champion has ever had Elite striking; Several top muay thai fighters have become boxing world champions but you would've been hard pressed to say they had "Elite" boxing - even the great Samart Payakaroon who's widely considered the goat of muay thai and was a WBC champion probably wasn't exactly "Elite" - and certainly none of these crossover champions had any BJJ skills or high level overall wrestling skills. So why in MMA Tycoon should you be able to become "Elite" at all disciplines? IMHO once you get to Exceptional/Sensational, it should be so hard to pop to the next level that you would only be able to do it at the expense of depopping in something else (the same with physicals - no one has "Elite" strenght and cardio at the same time for instance).
