EA MMA gets XP Bonus Before Servers Close
In an effort to help the community to achieve some of these extremely difficult achievements, the folks over at EA have decided to boost the XP up for the matches. Although some other places are calling it x20 XP, I have a hard time calling it that since that number doesn't match up at all.
Originally you received a whopping 30 XP points for a win in the first round, and 10 XP for a loss. Recently under the "x4" exp, these numbers got bumped to 200 XP for a win and 50XP for a loss. My math skills are a bit rusty but neither of these things match up to the supposed "x4" number. Now you receive 1000 XP for a round one victory and 350XP for a round one loss. These numbers receive a multiplier for the round you get to, e.g. round two gets a x2 multiplier for these numbers and round 5 gets a x5 multiplier. So a win in round 5 now nets you a whopping 5000xp and even losing in that round gets you 1750xp. (Note the numbers basically come up to x33 and x35 XP - so I refuse to call it x20).
Add to this there are bonuses for certain things such as winning a title, title defense, or landing a certain number of strikes, kicks, etc in the game, getting the coveted Red Belt Master achievement is a lot easier now. As a note the multiplier only applies to the win/loss XP, not the bonuses.
So for those of you interested, this 100+ hour boost is now down to under 20 hours if you can match up with your buddies easily. For those not interested in boosting, it is still a very obtainable achievement as you have about a month left in which to get those matches!
