OP also posted a thread a few days ago saying the game was worse - https://forums.operationsports.com/f...-good-bye.html
I guess because he now found the most effective strategy AKA cheese it's okay again. Or maybe he realises it's BS. Either way, I hope people see what I'm saying better now if you didn't already.

It still is bull****. I was going to quit, because in my years of doing mma I cringe at this tactic as a viable method...The way I looked at it, it doesn't seem like any serious changes are going to be made to head movement yet and rather than it being addressed I was mocked. I raised the concern immediately and people told me I just wasn't good enough until they faced the same high ranking competition I did, now everyone is making posts about it.
So rather than look at it like a Simulation game play experience, I treat it like any other fighting game. Where the point in fighting is to use the most effective strategies to defeat your opponent, regardless of how it looks. So, in the case of real life, BJJ looked odd at first but was very effective given real life mechanics. In EA UFC 3, head movement based fighting looks odd, but it is very effective given the game's mechanics. It's a principle in fighting games that you have to eventually adopt. The case was the same with EA UFC 2's dependence on combos. I couldn't stand that there were certain set combos with small variances that were extremely effective and unrealistic, but since the mechanic wasn't being changed I might as well adopt or lose.
At a certain point in ranked you just can't avoid it. You can probably get away with fighting at range against low-level opponents, but once you get to a certain point you realize this is a very different strategy than your normal duck spamming. So your best bet is always to be ready to box or grapple spam, pick your poison.
or tl;dr, if you can't beat em, join em.
