This game is missing a risk/rewards for takedown

[Drakar]

Takedown are way too easy. It should be easier to parry and there should be a risk/rewards attach to it. If you fail you takedown, it needs to deplete your stamina. This will prevent the spammer from attempting takedown after takedown.

The Risk/Reward factor is missing in pretty much all categories, honestly. It's the arcade element showing up in this regard. This is common on lots of sports games, unfortunately. At least in my opinion.

What about the spammers attempting mod strike after mod strike? Interesting you only mentioned takedowns. ...

At least in THQ UFC there was the risk of:

a) getting kneed/soccer kicked in the face

b) getting sprawled when tired could end with you in a poor position in the ground

and c) again going in with no stamina would leave you extremely vulnerable to the guillotine.

Here you either get the takedown or you don't. No harm done.

ya sadly this game is a big letdown for me. No shame in taking elements from THQ that worked. I essentially bought a ps4 for The Show and this game. At least the show is realistic.

I think takedown are just OP right now but mod strike would be next on my list.

The takedown complaints one could make a case for especially in the online arena where your window is shortened by lag. If your not anticipating the TD by holding RT/R2 + Down its tough to prevent one. Much like Undisputed...
Im my personal opinion ; factoring in lag, its still much easier to react to a TD attempt in EA UFC than in the undisputed series.

I really don't see why spamming mod shots is a problem if you are able to parry properly. Mod shots are easier that other shots to react to and punish with at least a quick cross. If you get good at this system, you'll punish all modified shots with a mod shot of your own.
Conversely, a well placed leg kick will result in hilarity against mod shot spam. Very Very satisfying!

STAMINA!
Spamming mod shots is not conducive to conserving stamina. Not conserving stamina increases recovery time from parried shots. Increased recovery time from parried shots is conducive to getting KTFO'd.

i miss plenty of takedowns but in weird, un natural ways. there should be getting caught with a knee or uppercut when going for a takedown tho like in undisputed for sure
