I've seen some people (at least in other places on the net) have complained about their fighter's Cuts/Swelling decreasing as they progress in Legacy Mode with no way to increase it.

Well, this is my complaint too. I "do" however see both sides of the arguement, both sides make perfect sense to me.

I am still, however, not happy with the way my boxer loses his cuts/swelling as he progresses in Legacy Mode. So I found a very "cheap" way to work around that (and I saw no one else coming up with this idea before me, so here goes).

When you start your Legacy Mode and your fighter is out of his Amatuer career, go to Settings and change the difficulty level to Amatuer. The game "should" keep your cuts/swelling both at 99 so long as you keep it on this difficulty setting.

I keep it here until I'm able to fight one of the top ten fighters, then I change the difficulty setting to a higher setting. That way, my cuts/swelling by this time is still at 99 instead of in it's 50's, 60's or 70's.

An alternative way of doing this and still having a challenge is placing the difficulty setting on Amatuer whenever you fight an opponent you "know" for sure you can beat. Then when you face and fight an opponent that is better than you, but your still confident you can win, set the difficulty up a notch or two.

I hope this helps for those who hate their cuts/swelling from decreasing without any way to increase them. It's a cheap way of getting around this annoying feature, but hey...whatever works.

Good Stuff, Welcome Aboard

Thank you.

I think its more of a performance based rating.. Meaning your Cut/ Swelling rating decreases depending on your lack of defence.

The more elusive you are, the higher your rating stays
