The latest patch

[PlatNationRepresent]

1st off, I gotta say thank you for finally putting Platinum in the game.

Also I like what you did with head damage being more important.
My only complaint is jabs and straights do way too much block damage, everything else feels fine but a player with a faster jab can just tear a slower strikers block down and not have any significant stamina penalty. Its gonna lead to people just picking the fastest guy when people figure that out

I like how stamina and damage works now, just adjust the block damage for jabs and straights, or the stamina. Every match I lost since patch was 1-2 or 1-1 spam

Use quick lunges and back sways.

If you are confident you have the new headmovement down, you could try slipping their predictable 1-1/1-2

My biggest issue at the moment is double/triple jab/triple jab & hook. Does anyone have any ideas how to counter it without losing ridiculous amount of stamina?

I don’t understand how people like this striking and non stop rocks. Even if your careful your still gunna get dropped. Then throw in lag and it’s such a frustrating experience.

Every single fight someone is getting rocked over and over. I’m trying my hardest to only strike during ranked fights, but damn it’s so boring. Every single fight plays out the same. I just want to pick my shots and not have someone 24/7 in my face.

I don’t know what else to do. I officially suck so bad at this patch it’s not even funny. Makes me kinda sad that this is the gameplay now. Combos are so fast i can’t even keep up anymore.

I know there’s a lot of people who love this new patch, but i just can’t get into it.

In my opinion this the worst the game has ever been. I rather deal with head sway spammers then to have this type of OP striking gameplay. Just dealing with Conor users is one of the worst experience i have ever had in any EA UFC game.

No more Top 100 leaderboard for me once the new season starts. Looks like i’m going to be hanging out with the scrubs in Division 3 and 4. And still those dude will beat the crap out of me.

I’m sad!!! ☹️

Have you guys thought about adding a hold button for other grappling positions, similar to the one in mount?

Not sure how it would affect the grappling flow but it could be useful especially for online folk who have issues with latency.

Perhaps give it to Khabib and see what happens.

It was quite handy in THQ UFC 3 and might help keep the fight on the ground for longer -if that is a complaint people are making.

Sacrifice stamina in return.

Maybe they think the same about your deny lay n pray game...

A few other suggestions help counter spam, for the devs to consider:

Clinch entry
- If a player ducks under a strike, while the opponent is moving forward, then initiates a clinch, they should get auto double unders or over under if they ducked say a jab.
- If a player sways a straight punch and initiates a clinch while the opponent is moving forward, they should get auto single collar.
- If a player blocks a hook and initiates a clinch while the opponent is moving forward, they should get auto single collar.
- If the opponent ducks and the player initiates a thai clinch, they should get it automatically.
- If the opponent is blocking low and the player initiates a single collar, they should get it auto. Perhaps even thai. If both opponents are really close.
- If the opponent is blocking high, you should have easier over or double under entry.

New mechanics
- Push back. Similar to the THQ one, if a guy is in your face, push him back. Opens an opportunity for a body knee if you time the push correctly or a double leg shot.
- Pull to side. Off balance the opponent to one side or the other. If used by a judoka throw options open up, if by a thai low trip options are available too.

It’s was a style. It was different.

Now everyone is just a op striker throwing the same combos every fight having tons of stamina. Fighting different people online feels like im fighting the same person over and over.

It doesn’t even matter anymore. Grappling is pretty much dead now. So people like you don’t have to worry about getting taken down or even worry about learning the ground game.
