Ragdoll knockouts

Yh I wanna see some ko's where ppl go stiff as a plank

This is one of my biggest concerns with the upcoming game. I love seeing intelligent knockdowns where fighters are able to get their bearings, but I would take ragdoll KOs every day of the week over that. What I really want to see is toned down ragdoll animations that don't send the entire body launching across the cage.

Having ragdoll animations that legitimately replicate a fighter getting put down is something at the top of my priorities. It's a key moment for fights that takes you out of the moment when done poorly.

ragdoll physics should be toned down. it looks like TAKKEN or action movie. i think, it was one of the worst part in ea ufc2.

I don't know why people like ragdoll so much. I prefer realistic looking knockouts. I'd settle for ragdoll only in knockout situation, and not knockdown. (With the exception of knockdowns where dudes roll backwards and try to pop back up on their feet or similar situations)

People like ragdoll because it makes every knockout/knockdown different, it makes your fights unique, and it opens up a few different scenarios that couldn't be done as smoothly with just animations.

Personally, seeing the same knockout/knockdown animations after a few hours of play kills some of the replayability of the game, knowing that no matter what you do or how you throw your punches or kicks, your knockout will just be the exact same in the next hour or so just seems so "last gen" with the tech we have to make it work now.

I personally loved the ragdoll system that was used on UFC 2, a lot of people like to pick out the extreme examples but seem to forget how much more realistic the knockouts and knockdowns look as a whole compared to UFC 1, just because someone scored a uppercut one time and sent their opponent in to a backflip doesn't mean it's not a good system, it just needs some polish and tweaking so we can all get the perfect balance.

Absolutely. Knockouts are 100% unique with Ragdoll effect. Looking forward to the new system.

I know this was one other thing EA MMA did really well. I'm hoping to see this more in EA UFC. They did say the KO's in UFC 3 will have a mix of both.

EA MMA had them more frequently but they were possible in both EA UFC 1 & 2.



I feel like we will see this more in EA UFC 3.

I actually don’t mind that one where they go super stiff. Only issue I had was that it got repetitive fast. Something like that with a bit smoother transition between the hands being up and then being down would be awesome since there’s a mix of both in UFC 3.
