Since I know that the AI dev frequents this board, I would like t provide my 2 cents: - Make the AI less likely to standup from guard and half guard positions. Make the AI work that GNP. I saw Josh Koscheck AI do this multiple times against me using Robbie. Similar when I used Ross against Khabib; Khabib has a huge advantage on the ground but it didn't seem like the AI was taking advantage of that. I still remember playing against Undisputed 3's GSP or Chael AI. Those AIs were dead set on getting the fight to the ground and smothering the player. I hope to see EA MMAI play like this. - Would like to see ground based fighters go for more takedowns and clinch takedowns. Played Lawler against Maia AI and he seemed like Maia was content on standing with me. + Haven't seen this called out but it seems like the AI isn't standing up from mount anymore so that's great!

Robots, I played more deliberate mismatches on the ground to see how the AI attacks:
Barry (me) - Werdum
Pearson (me) - Maynard
Hunt (me) - big nog
Lawler (me) - Sonnen

Standup:
- Generally improved a lot!
- I would make the AI use weak block a bit more to avoid parry fests which is very common at Pro difficulty.

Ground:
- Scratch the last part of previous post. Saw Werdum and Sonnen standup from full mount dominant. That needs to stop. Saw big nog stand up two times from side control.
- Continued to see AI that is being lit up on the feet try to standup from full guard dominant, half guard dominant, stacked guard dominant and full mount dominant. I would intentionally not block transitions and only block enough punches to not turn fully red. The AI still stands up even though it is winning by a big margin on the ground.
- Would definitely like to see a bit more takedown attempts.
- Did takedowns get tuned? I noticed that I'm being taken down much less by the AI when they make standard attempts. Was success rate decreased because of the kick catch takedowns?
- Would love to see strong wrestlers get a drive into full guard move from sprawl bottom.


Clinch:
- Same dominant position issue as on the ground. AI will let go of MT clinch and back control even though the AI is landing plenty of flush strikes. And the AI was the one who initiated the clinch to begin with.
- AI needs to mix in more clinch takedown attempts.

I'm with ya. Pyle is kind of a head scratcher for me. Dos Anjos, Bermudez, Rumble, Assuncao, Lombard, Kennedy all would have made a lot more sense.

Yeah. I wouldve named 15 other fighters before I got to Pyle. It seems their pattern is two no brainer additions and one headscratcher. Mizugaki and Pyle are the headscratchers.

Pyle's addition isn't that surprising now that I remembered he was featured in the short messages to your fighter in Career mode.

Light years. The demo was three patches ago. AI agression tweaks. Stamina tweaks. More animations. Sprawl animation and catching kicks added.

I'm not saying the game is close to perfect but the demo isnt exactly a good representation of the game now.
