Roster Balancing

Hi,

I am a long time ea sports ufc player since ufc 2. I really enjoy ufc 6 but it has an issue with some fighters being overpowered/underpowered compared to others which ruins the competitive aspect of the game.

I go to aoe2 because they have kept ranked play fresh for 20+ years. they have a team dedicated to making sure the meta changes with each update by looking at the data from the last few months and making small adjustments wherever they need to nerf or buff.

Each civ in aoe plays very differently but they still managed to balance their gameplay so that there isn’t one dominant civ but 4-5 meta strategies. I believe if you looked at the data you could make similar adjustments and it would improve gameplay greatly. For example McGregor, his power is too high, he had a lot of finishes but it was his speed, movement and accuracy that got him these finishes more than power, I feel that’s the way he should be played in-game not the powerhouse he is at fw currently.

I think the game is going in a great direction but it needs tuning to make it competitive and most of all balanced, balance doesn’t mean making everyone the same, it means making everyone playable but some are stronger in certain areas than others so it’s there job the keep then fight in that area. 

Thanks for reading.
