LEADERBOARD RESETS
Along with the patch update we are resetting the ranked and fight camp online leaderboards. As mentioned, we are doing a complete leaderboard wipe to start everyone fresh given the magnitude of changes. All of your online leaderboard stats will still be saved in your offline profile, however your leaderboard rank and fight camp rank will be reset to 0. Any new ranked/fight camp leaderboard online stats will simply aggregate on top of your offline total. In other words, if you're leaderboard record is 500-225 today. When we reset, it will go to 0-0, but in your offline stats profile, you will still have 500-225. When you start playing ranked onlne again, if your leaderboard record after a few days is 20-10 let's say, then your offline aggregate stats should say 520 - 235. We want to make sure everyone understands all your stats are always aggregated offline in your save profile, as long as you never delete that!
FIGHT CAMP WEBSITE MANAGEMENT
Second, the complete Fight Camp integration with our official website here will go live this week as well. This will allow you and your team complete control of your Fight Camp on our official site, with the ability to manage, assign roles, message, check your banners, view advanced stats and leaderboards, and check out other Fight Camps. Not to mention, you can also create or join a Fight Camp directly from our website. For those familiar with "clans", this will be your new best friend section on our website.
All in all, its great to get the patch out for everyone and we realize completely there are more requested fixes at hand and even some that are considered extremely high priority by the community consensus. The dev team is taking all the feedback in and i'll be continuing to echo your voice and do the best we can for continued support.
Fight on!

So, are people still playing this? What's it like online? All I would play are ranked matches really.
I like that the EA game has a more global sport feel to it. So you get the feel that you are actually a fighter travelling the world making a name for yourself.
Gameface should be great for adding the UFC roster too. Now.. if only they had included a create your own promotion mode so we could have created the UFC ourselves.
