EA Sports UFC's Third Patch Impressions and Thoughts

[DaveDQ]

I'll try those tips. My goal is to see a guy that comes out throwing 100+ strikes a round pay for it in stamina drain and thereby highly susceptible to getting KOd.

Right now I can get a disparity between my stamina and his but there isn't much of a payoff. I will try those tips.

I just beat a spammer online and it felt so good. I played as Nick Diaz and he had Carlos Condit. Dude came out trying to body spam. He drained all his energy. I side stepped and went for a take down. Then proceeded to make him tap, all within 1 minute 30 secs in the first round. It was in brown belt division.

Playing online has been a chore due to spammers, but playing the cpu on Pro has been lots of fun since the patch.

The tips that fishingtime posted definitely help. Especially with the tapping of the block button against the Right/left hook spamming.

I just hope any fix for that doesn't mess with the new strike system and its fluid movement.

I could live with this but I'd rather see a speed and effectiveness drain after the 4-5 combo. Lets face it there are only a few great fighters that can sustain 6-7-8-9 strike combos without losing speed and power.

I had a fight last night that went 3 rounds. My opponent threw 378 strikes and only landed 76. I was knocked out and my stamina ended up being lower than his.

I agree. There should be an immediate stamina penalty for being unrealistically aggressive. There should be a vast difference in all around fighter movement when one is low in stamina and the other isn't.

It won't. I can guarantee that.

I have about 20 fights in since I read fishingtime's post on defending the punch spam and have seen much improvement. I am able to throw under 175 strikes a fight and can usually pull out the win. I just need to get to the third round. That's where you really see a spammer dwindle.

I still feel like these guys should be done by round two, but the blocking scheme of tapping the block really helps.

Ill try the suggestion of tapping block. Im also not a top player nor trying to be. I did encounter a guy who went body head body head so fast I felt paralyzed. See if tapping block helps there. I still think guys who throw tonnes of volume and miss should be penalized more.
