Awesome update gameplay wise, but not the scoring is atrocious. I lost an online match where I had 10 takedowns to 1 for my opponent and outlanded him with strikes and significant strikes. He spent the entire match spamming low leg kicks with Bruce Lee, most of which were blocked. Dude won a split decision.

I tried the demo prior to release and just wasn't impressed. From what I have been reading it seems like it may be worth giving a shot now.

Glad to hear the game is still getting developer support.

I picked it up when it was on sale on PSN and am thrilled that i did. I Loved it after the second patch and more so now.

Ideally, it would be nice to have the games be optimal upon release, but I have no problems with a company continuing to work towards a better product, especially when the updates are of no cost to the consumer.

I can honestly say that the UFC game, along with a FIFA 15 game that I find amazing, have truly got me considering an NBA Live 15 purchase this month. Keep up the good work EA!

It isn't that we don't appreciate all the hard work, it is how this patch has changed online behavior. This game is awesome offline now, but a totally different beast online. The CPU doesn't come at you like online players do. The latency also plays a huge role in blocking etc. With the combo speed, any bad latency can ruin your night. I had this happen last night. Turns out I needed to power cycle my modem, but there are still guys I play that my connection doesn't allow me to pump block, etc.

Overall the patch is great. There are just things that people do that ruin it. That isn't the patches fault, just the way people play and the inability to defend correctly at times.

Can't stress that enough. Twice last night I got caught in a moment where upon getting up from the ground I couldn't defend and it was the same ole R,L,R,L,R,L,R,L,R until I was done.

Seeing stat lines of my opponent look like this and still earn the win...

S. Strikes 6/44
Total Strikes 39/178
TD 1/8

and I'm trying to be prudent and judicious...

S. Strikes 19/27
Total Strikes 58/82
TD 6/9

But all it takes is for your opponent to catch you in a RLRLRLR flurry and its over. I'm not gassed either...I should be able to get my hands up.

With that said I do think things are improved. I still enjoy the game but there's little I can do against a spammer. I figure a low level spammer has at least a 60/40 chance of beating someone who's well rounded and skilled on the ground.

Same question I ask everyone who reports this problem.

Was your opponent alternating body/head while doing this, or just focusing on one level.

If he wasn't alternating, did you try strong block?

Was this online or offline?

I'm trying to formulate a recommended fix but need to be very persuasive and need all the info I can get.

Thanks.
