Overall ratings

Eddie2003prt · 10-07-2021, 08:15 PM

I was unable to get the game to download today's update. I decided to manually type in the new ratings (only the ratings- I don't care about the biographical stuff). Everything went well until I got to the last boxer (Christian Hammer). I accurately typed in his ratings from the database (all of them, not just the handful of changes). The database says that Hammer's overall rating should be a 4. When I clicked calculate, the game listed his overall as a 3. I checked 4 times that I had recorded everything correctly.

1. Why would this happen? Is there a difference between how 2013 and 2.5 calculate overalls?

2. Do overall ratings matter? The game uses the individual ratings to simulate fights, right? As long as those are accurate, does it matter if a fighter is a 3 or a 4 overall?

I changed his ratings yesterday, if that means anything.

Other than confirming the first two lines of my original post, no it doesn't mean anything.

It looks like I confirmed the first four lines.

You would be correct if you meant sentences. I wrote "lines".

Thanks for all your dedication to updating the database Icetea. I'm sure the entire community is glad to have the new boxers in the game.

Welcome .... I still can't rate a fighter as "either." My game won't update properly. I'm hanging on by a thread.

Well said Cap, yes thanks again Ice Tea!
