I don't have the Beta but I'd suggest someone do some investigating and see if anyone else besides BigRig has the slam right into full mount. I mean if you get your ground game into shape and hit that. Night night.

Spoiler

I think a lot of people are missing a subtle difference in Thai Clinch with respect to blocking strikes.

If you want to block a knee, either to the head or body, you block low.

If you want to block a punch/elbow to the head, you block high.

The reason we did this is because the knee animations all look exactly the same until it's too late, and we wanted people to be able to reaction block and not have to guess ahead of time.

By making knee blocks low and punch blocks high, we achieve that at the cost of some potential confusion of people holding high block and still getting hit in the head.

When you look at the block poses, it made a lot of sense intuitively (at least to me) but that may not have been as obvious as I thought it would be.

I'm posting here for visibility, please don't start a random feedback thread. Keep it very narrowly on topic.

I'm on the beta boards and will be combing through feedback this morning.

Thanks.

I gotta say I am NOT a fan of this decision. You take a precieved minor problem of knees not being able to be recognised early enough in the animation to recognize to block them. And make a MUCH BIGGER problem in destroying the uniformity of the controls. If I want to block my head. The controls should be the same throughout. If I want to block my body, the controls should be the same throughout. Now in the clinch, I have to reverse my thoughts and think body block even though I know it's knees to the head coming. To me it creates a bigger problem to try to fix a smaller one.

I meant that to be a quote, not a spoiler. Typing on a phone isn't the easiest.

Matt Hughes has it.
I suppose anyone with high Wrestling mastery has potential to execute this move. However, it's not a basic takedown. I hit this move by accident. There could be a lot of things needing to go right in order for this happen.

One weird thing I've seen is that sometimes you'll knock a guy dude down, but you can't jump on him immediately. Like if you punch, nothing will happen. He'll just stand over him.

LOVE THIS GAME! My only complaint is that there are some weird Collision Detection issues. I was leg kicking a dude last night and something about the way the fighters interacted led to me scoring a body shot knockdown. Actually happened a number of times last night. Weird interactions with takedown attempts as the opponent threw leg kicks also had me shaking my head.

Other than that, I am so damn stoked for this game and for Ultimate Team!
