Ratings of the Day Council

[djday45]

Thks Tosti, yep will be trying to rate a fighter a day from now on, hopefully I can keep to that schedule although each one does take some time as i research a lot and also give at least three ratings for each guy depending on the historical times they actually changed career stages and also specifically which ratings for them changed.

Sam McVey

His rating was very weird in the database. think of him more like a mini Tyson of his day but with more endurance and heart but slightly less power and you have him.

This is my first post and hope I don't annoy anyone but just wanted to wish Dean and the TBCB community a Happy New Year and looking forward to you continuing your great work. It's really nice to have knowledgeable "tweaks" and additions to this great game (i.e. Dean and Bear among countless others). As someone who has frequently viewed and never posted before... just wanted to say Thank You and please continue your great work.

Everything I read here indicates that you are right on with your rating changes.I am very intrigued with your heavyweight ratings .I understand that the ratings work well during play testing . I would like your opinion as to how you think the ratings will play when used against hws that you have not rated. In essence if I use these fighters against the pool of other hws will the results be way way one sided when compared to using the ratings before you added your insights to them

Hello djday45 (Dean),
I've been away for a few years. My son purchased V2.5 for me and I can't get enough info from the forums. I just wanted to say "Thank You"
for all the work you have put into re-rating all these HW's. I'm in "Ratings of the Day Council" thread.
I am very thankful for any ratings of those mid level HW's and even any ratings of the lower rated fighters. Many 0/1/2 level guys I feel could be a bit higher. Each has a place in my uni. Watch out for that low level power puncher!
I had rated a few fighters that were on Corner Work, but I guess that is gone now. I agree with just about every rating change you made.

TY again for your hard work here! Makes life eaiser for an old-fart noob like myself.
Best Regards, Hootowl9 (Fred)

These rating are just great! I've learned alot about the game and how to go about understanding better the methods and reasoning behind rating fighters.
I too was wondering about the effect of non-rated HW's vs those posted in this thread. I don't think it would make a huge difference vs the lower rated groups to any large extent. In any case "thank you" for your efforts.

Although I am not a member of the database revision team, I did Beta test the game. My understanding is that the fighters in the official database are relative to each other.
