Is high block going to be tweaked?

[bcelts]

Is high block going to be tweaked in the new patch? The high block should wear down if someone is taking a bunch of shots. It should wear down like on the ground. It is too safe and people can just walk into punches.

Or increase body strikes, that's just what I'd like to see.

Finish the fight I shouldn't be forced to punch arms.

I suspect ea have all these fighters Jax steel arms covered in skin, it sure seems like that. Until they are on the ground, then opponents arms turn from steel to peanut brittle

I honestly think it's fine the way it is. When people complain about the high block being like a forcefield I'm always wondering why they don't just go to the body.

I do, but I prefer head strip strikes. I also get bod y spam messages.

The high block IS an infinite, impervious, no drawback, unlimited, perfect blocking, force field though......

Obviously, you attack the body.. But that is no excuse for an impenetrable, super block. Nothing about that reflects any sliver of realism.

Not to mention how EASY it is to just hold high block, walk backwards, and avoid almost everything. All head attacks get perfect blocked by the forcefield high block. Body kicks whiff. Body Hooks Whiff. Only body jabs will sometimes connect.

Unless you manage to close them off against the fence, High Block gives you unbelievably insane defense. It's a get out of jail free card which requires no skill whatsoever.

Beyond OP mechanic.

You are wrong.

I think Block (high or low identical) is fine now.

Block effeciancy ONLY depends on Hands health not on stamina at all.
And hands health is SEPARATED - you can land 4-5 Hooks on one side (only left hooks for ex) and block will be out completely.
Hands recovered and block becomes active again, but more damage hands recieved during the match - less damage they are needed to break block.

Re: Is high block going to be tweaked?

Fatigue for sitting on block, and parry timing tied to the block as well to fix this. You can sit on block as it is, and just press a strike button to parry anything to the head while sitting on block. That shouldn't happen. Time the parry with the block and let the game's mechanics take care of that.

i would be ok with this iron block if 1PKO's was in the game

Re: Is high block going to be tweaked?

Anytime watch figured the other night, almost no turtle block and when it happened dude was ko'd through it almost immediately.


Why turtle block is in the game and used entire fight is mind boggling

Re: Is high block going to be tweaked?

They need to allow us to move while throwing strikes. If you rock someone and they are far away from the cage, the only chance you have of finishing is through the clinch because everything you throw at him will miss while he's back peddling.

Hmm. Why the heck aren't flash KOS in the game?

I agree. The more I think about this the more it frustrates me.. how can devs let that slide in a fighting game.. keep your hands high in a real fight and see how many punches I will land or sneak through

Re: Is high block going to be tweaked?

I think, bring back weak high block when someone rocked or low stamina at least.

Re: Is high block going to be tweaked?

I agree w/ a lot of what you all are saying

In all --- for RANKED or high stat UT (not low-stat UT) --- I think it's pretty clear that STANDING blocking power is a bit OP.

I think a reduction of blocking power by about 10-15% would be perfect. Nothing TOO crazy, still need a defense against spamming chumps lol, but it needs a tweak for sure.

Or at the least...'legit' combos have a way to break down the block more...i.e. mixing up straights, hooks, uppercuts, in a logical/realistic way, do more damage to the block to simulate 'breaking thru the guard' with the tiny 4 oz gloves

Needs to be addressed...but no MAJOR changes lol try it out slowly

I see what you're saying, but I much prefer the way it is currently to the weak blocking from the last game.

I don't know. I don't want to be finished by someone just because I got rocked by one random strike and then I'm not allowed to protect my head. That already happens too much in Ultimate Team as it is IMO.
