I think it’s a way to expand the current system, keeping it intact and adding onto it. You’re right though, EA is too scared to make it more complex bc of the “stand n bang bro” crowd.
Too bad, because I think it would just give those of us that know what we’re doing more options. Maybe it would also give new customers more of a reason to be interested in the ground game, something to learn. Maybe toss the newbs some more get up options from the ground; for example, utilizing a sweep from butterfly guard to get back to the feet.
