That's the problem this game's been having since EAUFC2. There is no way to learn this unless you come across it by mistake. MMA logic can only get you so far as not all logical actions and bonuses aren't represented in the game.

Ducking down before a takedown makes sense, but it could've been useless too.

That game was so awesome. The double takedown was quite overpowered, but it was a nice option to have. It already had a lot of options and features for its time (2000), and the graphics were sweet.

are the new power takedowns harder to defend?

While the improvements to striking are amazing, they ultimately shed light on the downfalls of the grappling mechanics. Edit: I also think EA can one-up THQ in the grappling department. The first step would be intertwining takedowns with the clinch (have this event occur more often when TD is defended in the middle of the window) and also adding different and follow-on “grappling on the feet” animations when takedowns are defended late in the TDD window. Also, incorporating grappling against the cage more often wouldn’t hurt. Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

Has anybody played with the sliders to see if these imperfections can be tuned. If they can then maybe that could give the devs information for patches. I'm sure that they can add the timing affects what animation on gets through patches.
