Your biggest annoyances with EA UFC 2?

[Balllikedrose1]

Body kick runners(thanks martialmind for inteoducing this weak strategy to the game as well as that 2 strike combo that ends with body kick so OP)

And runners

What's a body kick runner? I've been throwing body roundhouses like a madman since the game came out, because most people don't block the body. It's better to get reaction off of unblocked body kick than needlessly (and fruitlessly) strike against the high block.

Basically they run and throw body kicks everytime you open up or the straight punch body kick combo spammers not unbeattable but annoying af

How would you guys like to be able to counter this? Would you want the ability to catch kicks anytime like in Undisputed 3?

#1 High / Low block...very hard to block strikes, mainly a guessing game for me especially in the lower weight classes due to the speed of striking.

#2 High / Low block again...fighters don't have as many moves now because the block button replaces the striking technique modifier button from UFC 1.

#3 No Lung or sway striking in this installment...UFC 1 had them, and they were fun but for some reason EA removed them for this game.

#4 The short side step...looks super unrealistic and constantly annoys me.

#5 Fight now mode...In this installment the fighter selection screen will always return you to the feather weight division with Connor and Aldo. UFC 1 would remember the fighters you last picked and would return you where you left off. This would be helpful for this game because of the vast number of fighters and the time it takes to navigate back to the right division and scroll back to the fighters you were playing with.

#6 Career mode is very bland and unimaginative...feels like very little effort was put into it.

#7 I don't like how the parries were nerfed...don't like how the block does not re-engage after a missed parry attempt. (game feels like rockem sockem robots because its to darn hard to block and parry.)

#8 This should be at the top of my list, but Finish the fight is just a re-hash from UFC 1 when they found a way to patch it in the last go around. Only punches no kicks no other options...are you kidding me?

#9 KO animations are missing in this game. Even though they redesigned the KO system and physics, the fights get pretty boring and could use some of the KO animations from EA UFC 1 to break up the monotony.

#10 Need to be able to edit the fighters for offline mode. Assigning skills attributes perks and moves is something I'm sure everyone wants to be able to do offline.

They just need to get rid of the snowball effect of hitstuns but the person who exploits it most is a game changer so we have zero chance of it been fixed.

Catching kicks would be huge. And more options after you catch the kick. You should be able to strike, takedown, or trip the opponent.

Massively!!!! Something needs to be done about it.

Just watched MMs new video, first fight he is having trouble so just absolutely wrecks the guy with the straight, body kick combo! It is absolutely insane! All the devs have to do is check it to see how mad it is.

People don't just throw straight, body kick like 10 times over and the other person certainly doesn't freeze and start bending over for more haha. Scary stuff.
