Official EA UFC 2 "Teach me how/strategy" thread

Title says it all. Share some strategies you used that you've found to be successful. Not sure how to use the ground game, not sure how to take advantage of reach, wanna know how to use a fighter, etc. Ask here.

I'll start, do not do what I do and button mash and panic when put in the MT clinch. I haven't found the strategy to be very successful.

I just don't understand the ground game. I know what I'm supposed to be doing but I just can't get it to work right. And I can never improve position because the cpu always either blocks my transition or moves to a better position themselves, even if I somehow miraculously manage to block one of their transitions they'll try to transition again immediately after. It seems like it may be stamina based, but their stamina never goes down from what I can tell.

Try a strike from the bottom to gain GA and transition. That is how I usually get out from under the CPU. Transition fakes are good for online, but the CPU is very quick to deny. So these might not be the best here. You can try it, but it isn't a guarantee. Just flick the stick the direction you want the CPU to think you are going and transition the opposite way.

Denials are harder this game, but are attainable. If you can get these down, you will drain their stamina. Enough to hopefully allow you to get the transition.

If you have a reach advantage use it by popping 1-2s. Mix it up go to.the body. If it's a human opponent and they start getting frustrated coming foreward throwing too much take advantage of it.
I saw this other piece of advice on another site if you encounter a parry spammer. Didn't matter what I threw he would parry and crush me with an overhand right. He never led he always waited for me. So.I started feinting and it actually worked. Feinted a punch and you could see his palms open high. Then body kicked him. Did this for a bit so of course he started adjusting his parry spam low. Faked a knee then 1-2 high. Busted this guy up really quick....

Okay, I put this in the Q&A thread but it is far more fitting in here:

Anyone have any general tips on blocking ground transitions? I can get into dominate positions, but I'm horrible at blocking the AI from working right back to where we started.

Should I be more patient and sometimes just wait for them to make a move and then block it, as opposed to trying to block one while I'm going about my business striking or going to transition again?

Yes. Preemptive denials have been removed. However, the tells are much better this game. The vibration you get on your controller is to give you feedback on if you are too early or too late. Try to find that sweet spot.

just stay patient and work your ground advantage up before you go for top mount. I usually just stay in half or side guard and just deny until they are low on stam.

Re: Official EA UFC 2 "Teach me how/strategy" thread

Okay, I've posted this before. Very easy to do. Most people never realize it, and it is a game changer for a lot of people. I'll put an image of what I am talking about, and I want you to guess what the tip is.

You will be surprised when you figure this out. A lot of complaints might even stop.

For those having difficulty with the grappling/ground game, GameplayDevUFC's write-up is always a good read. He posted this before the beta period when there wasn't too much activity here yet, so some might have missed it:

Re: Official EA UFC 2 "Teach me how/strategy" thread

Still, literally cannot do anything on the ground against the cpu. I mean literally. There's just no chance I can really prevent anything from going down. If by chance I stop one move, the cpu follows up immediately and that's it. When I am trying to attack/in a dominant position I just get stopped or sweeped.

I'm not sure if there is help for me because I have to think it's timing, and if that's the case then I am screwed because I just plain cannot ever react that quickly.

If there is help though, I would appreciate it.

Re: Official EA UFC 2 "Teach me how/strategy" thread

I'm having only intermittent success in the ground game, so I have one question:

Is it a fast movement of R to deny or is it more of a deliberate push?
