SeanJuan Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Hello. I searched and was not able to find anything, so hopefully I am not asking a question that has already been answered on here. I understand how pops work with regards to how skills display on a fighter profile page, BJJ belts, etc. What I am wondering is, do the actual points behind the scenes also have an impact? In other words, would the game give different results for a person with 51 wrestling than a person with 59 wrestling? Or say, someone with 4-- takedown defense versus 4++ takedown defense? Just wondering, so if anyone has any of insight it would be great. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalifaxUndead Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 I had this same question a while ago and from what I was told their is no actual difference between 51 wrestling and 59 wrestling in terms of how you fare in your fights its only when you get a pop that you would see a difference.

Guest Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Wow. That would significantly change how I train my fighters if true. Can we get confirmation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanJuan Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yeah, been something I have wondered a while as well. Would certainly dictate how significant a pop was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 As far as the game is concerned, it doesn't care what the word is, it just looks at the number behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanJuan Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 Thanks. The question isn't so much about the word, which is whether the "pop" number is 1 through 15. But behind the 1 through 15 are numbers 1-150. Are those used for calculating how the game unfolds, or is it just the pop number. It would make sense if it was the number behind, otherwise there would never be much reach to improve from 15-- (141 I assume) to 15++ (150?) other than to prolong an eventual de-pop.

Guest Posted November 13, 2013 Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 doesn't pops advance your skills or tell you your fighters made an improvement in the skills he pop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanJuan Posted November 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2013 It does, from a high level. If you create a fighter, or do a fighter search for free agents, or look at the progress graphs if you have VIP (recommended!), the values for each skill are not actually 1 through 15, but 1 through 150. I'm just trying to figure out if pops are there for fun and to make us feel good about progress, or if the improvement only comes in plateaus based on pops.
