Not paying too much attention to this is fine....(for people). However, the reality is "selected AI strategies GREATLY effect the SIM model ...and thus the results of most fights that take place.....

I have done days of play-testing with AI strategy and while there are certain fights that seem to go decently (that is just the math of averages)...the reality is a ridiculous amount of times...there is absolutely awful Strategy selections being made by the AI/Computer. This greatly effects the reality of TBCB -

When Mike Tyson is fighting 3 of his first 5 rounds "outside defensive"......that isn't an accurate SIM of Tyson in the ring......... When a guy scores a KD and the very next round is told to "fight outside defensive"....this is foolishness....

So, the only alternative to making TBCB 2.5 at all an accurate SIM....would be to have the "strategies turned OFF"......However, then we run into the foolish "do you want fighter X to cover-up" when hurt pop-up-box to appear......Which means you have to sit there and watch every second of every round....(ridiculous option for the most part).....

A figther by default should ALWAYS look to COVER-UP...when hurt......Or we might as well be having to tell each fighter what type of punch to throw each second of each round.

A small patch turning on the COVER-UP strategy is what is needed - It would not take a lot of program time...and is the least OOTP should do for all those who have upgraded and purchased this product..... Who have stood by this product.
