Proof Of 'Magnetic Cage' Effect!

[Boiler569]

This weekend while doing the Live Event Pick'em and Play'em --- I was using Frankie vs. Aldo and wanted to grind out a decision so was screwing around in clinch.

Watch this video (less than 30 seconds)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VzM_OAg2950

As you'll see --- at about the 20 second mark; I had Aldo at 0% stamina and I was at 100% stamina --- we were locked in single collar --- I was pushing the stick AWAY from the cage; but still 'magically' was pushed against cage by a 0% Stamina Aldo.

Anyone else think this is just wrong?

A month or so ago I posted a topic about the cage having a 'magnetic effect' when two fighters are in the clinch

http://www.operationsports.com/forum...light=magnetic

this video is a good example of what I was talking about

let me know what you all think --- as I said, I was just sort of screwing around w/ the CPU in this clip, but it shows exactly what's wrong in my opinion --- 0% stamina guy pushes a 100% stamina guy against cage, even though 100% stamina guy (Frankie) was pushing forward?

lame !

EDIT: You'll notice that I actually DENIED his transition from SC to MT --- which 'pushed' me backwards --- and lead to the Magnetic Effect!

So not only did he have 0% stamina --- I *then* denied a transition; which ended up putting ME against the cage?!

P.S. While the denied MT transition did in fact put me against the cage --- this type of magnetic cage issue does *not* only take place in that situation

i.e. this is not just an issue about the denied MT clinch pushing me backwards; that just so happened to occur here

But there are many other times when a low stam fighter is able to 'magically' push a full stam fighter against the cage; without any denials being part of it

Just a funky mechanic. I really hope they re-work how fighters interact with the cage in UFC 3

i see what you mean if you get a guy at a certain range near the cage they will automatically get glued back to the cage, the person should still have to work to get all the way to the cage.

yup exactly

it's almost like the game says "You're X feet away from cage; no matter what your stamina, clinch power, or other stats say --- you're getting pushed to the cage"

I've found that the distance "X" is actually pretty far away --- further than in that video example I showed, really

At the least, if they can't fix this via patch (because of animation/physics issues) --- would be nice to get some sort of CAGE REVERSAL.

Where in the video example I posted --- I was actually able to REVERSE the push against the cage; and put Aldo up against the cage

This past weekend there were many examples of cage reversals --- where one fighter tried pushing opponent into cage; only to be flipped around to be smothered themselves.

The example I posted is an over the top example --- and yes I could have easily transitioned to single collar, and eventually flipped Aldo back against the cage; because I had a huge stam advantage

But 'in real life' the examples are much more subtle; and when it's two top fighters going against one another....every little position counts, and I can remember a few times when this 'magnetic cage' screwed me over lol

It's annoying because denying MT always pushes you back. The clinch game definitely needs some work, there should be more varied animations for scrambling depending on the stamina situation.

It's not really a bug or a glitch. It's an oversight in the game logic.

that's the definition of a bug
