comparison
There you go--I can relate to that. Thanks but compliments make me blush. Actually, it gives me pleasure to bring a fighter to life by doing his stats for the game. I think I've gotten relatively good at it. I can look at a fighter's career in the boxrec webpage and get a pretty good feel of where he fits in stat wise. I never use templates anymore but do each fighter's file from scratch. I know that many of the rookie fighters I rate with impressive records (so far) will not live up to the overall ratings of 3 or 4 that I give them but they can be revised if necessary sometime in the future. I also know that most of the fighters that i rate will never show up in the data pool, but that's cool. However, I transcribe them so that they are compatible with the prerequisites of the TBCB rating team just in case they are accepted. I no longer designate a fighter's career stage as Beginning, Pre Prime, Post Prime, etc. All are now designated as Prime.
As I told Ice Tea, I don't know Draw Power, Conditioning or Intellect from nothing so I always give them as numbers 1/4/4 respectively. I could go into much more detail about why a give a fighter a certain number but that's unnecessary and i don't have a formula that i feel obliged to strictly adhere to. My advice to anybody out there who wants to do a rating is to find a fighter whose career seems to be very similar, press copy in the game, and overwrite the appropriate data and tweak the stats a little. If your going to post a fighter, please, please, please transcribe all of the relevent info from boxrec including DOB (even if estimated) and weight range. It drives me nuts when someone is too lazy to do that. A large number of fighters i download I end up having to look up in boxdata to fill in the neglected info. Sometimes even the boxrec number is missing! It's a pain. Alright. I'm done bitching. Thanks for the appreciation of my efforts. It keeps me going.
