I always try to Dash foward when I hook or throw anything but it does not work to well and ppl always counter with rapid punches to the body.

One observation that isn't new to the patch but I didn't know what thread it'd fit in better and I didn't think it was worthy of its own.

As someone who has played quite a bit of online and a good bit of offline it's striking how different the AI handles the ground game as opposed to a human opponent. The AI isn't necessarily worse; it focuses on denying transitions and slowly getting into a good position and striking to build GA. Him opponents tend to attempt transitions far more often and you end up with way more 'transition races' as you try to compete yours before they can complete theirs. I think the AI 'knows' (which a human thinking fast enough could, in theory, figure out) when a transition is hopeless compared to what you are doing and either goes for the block or doesn't do anything.

Again, not saying one is worse than the other or harder to play against, it's just very noticeable how different they are.

I know there's some ppl who hate this idea, but just make the AI on pro so hard and almost impossible to beat. I know, I know... but I rather have it dead hard, then to have nothing but easy wins for every fight.

If I want to win easy I play on easy. Give the pro difficulty some meat and make the AI just dead tough and I know I will be playing more and trying to beat a OP computer AI then to just watch it not get played by me right now.

Just my thoughts ppl...

# 244 SwedishTouch76 @ 05/13/16 10:58 PM

Agreed. If you play Mlb the Show on Legend difficulty ( the hardest) it's insanely unforgiving. How it should be....

I think thats what Skynet is going to eventually do. Some of the changes in the next patch should get it close to that.

I was telling him that what I think what people want is the diffculty of pro in UFC 1 without the constant parrying. If the AI uses its defensive high block more, I think it will be pretty tough.

I traded the game in towards Uncharted 4 already, but if Skynett finally makes the A.I overpowered and near impossible to beat like in Undisputed 3 then I'll probably buy it again.

I have had many fights now on pro difficulty which before patch 1.06 i thought was hopeless so i stuck with hard difficulty which was much better.
Now i wasn't sure at first but after extended gameplay i am changing my mind,i feel pro is way better than before and is my chosen difficulty.

I am not saying it cannot be improved more but the AI is defending itself more when you rock them and they stay out of reach more often,before i could finish the fights in less than a minute now i am having some awesome fights and couldn't finish my opponent no matter how hard i tried.

The women seem to go flat out and don't lose much stamina and when they do it comes back quickly.Tried Cyborg vs Amanda Nunes as cpu on pro and Nunes is a beast and beat me twice and i finally beat her the third time but it was hard. Also fight against Sarah McMann on pro and she is relentless with her takedowns and wrestling.

There has been many other matchups with the men and i am having great fights winning and losing nothing like before the patch,i can't see why other players cannot see the difference as i was one of the complainers myself before,the cpu is blocking and dodging more even if it can be increased further. Great job EA and with further patches i believe you will please a lot of us except the ones that are going to complain no matter what you do.

since i have lost 6000 thousand points on my ultimate team score and 13 titles aswell i came to understand this was due to deleteing fighters but since all this has happened I am no longer getting any team score at all?

I'm debating doing the same. What did you get in trade?

I think, AI stamina management is really biggest issue on the current state. AI feels the same as before unless they didn't fixed it, imo.

There were no stamina fixes in the last patch. There are likely to be a few in the next patch.

# 254 Daddyballz @ 05/14/16 02:17 PM

# 255 Bigg Cee @ 05/14/16 02:33 PM

I'm starting to think you are trolling.

It's open for me and I've been playing.

# 256 oshighwayman @ 05/15/16 05:51 AM

dear EA
thanks for the patch
but can u please make standup and related mechanics in fashion that it will actually looks like UFC fight, not mortal kombat, not killer instinct, tekken, street fighter etc, thank u
whole movement mechanics and striking doesn't really work for crazy people who will be running around for 5minutes not engaging, or just spamming clinch over and over again or other great thing

as for clinch I don't know where u got this idea, that one or two hands around neck will make two fighters freeze to ground, it looks horrible, it plays horrible, what is that ground game gone airborne, it s bad

can u also please fix ur netcode for online matches, laggers have advantage, there s delay for host, it make it impossible to deny, submit, parry etc

it somehow also made preemptive denials possible, I mean if I flick my controller for 0,2 sec to make fake transition and HUD will show it was denied.. that s just no possible

# 257 THA C0G FATHER @ 05/15/16 03:32 PM

Don't know why I expected anything else but as werdum 1 win 2 losses in live events its the biggest piece of crap ever

Plays nothing like how it was on release an in my eye they had no permission of mine to change what I'd purchased but having to be online to play games these days is an utter load of elephant jizz

Will just bully people in quick online till they inevitably quit
Happy,I think not fuk off

Please tell me WHY Mistimed High parry cancel Block auto activation, but Low parry does not?
Again i dont think this cancel needed, Parry becomes nearly useless in this game = high risk/low reward.
So why we need them then?

Why do you think this is the most effective?
