Tweaks To Blocking System Needed Now

Whether you lunge to the right or left when somebody throws a straight, the straight is a straight shot down the middle, you should be able to avoid it lunging left or right. If you go to the lead leg side, it tracks you. Same thing happens with uppercuts. Don't even get me started on the issues with body punches tracking when you're lunging away. And the god forsaken knees. I feel once issues with tracking are solved, then you would see a lot of that being used to avoid pressure rather than block, and as a result of that, more playstyles open up. I'm curious to see how lunging at the end of a combination would work out if you successfully predict what your opponent will fire back with.

Dude preach ...

Uppercuts in this game are deadly as **** .

Sometimes it seems like a jab uppercut , uppercut will walk through almost anything .

Certain combos in this game track you even if you lunge to the side . Fighters just stick to you and phone booth boxing begins . All they just need to do is lunge forward with pressure . And wail on your block .

The crazy thing is if you move to return fire an opponent will just skip away well out of safety with footwork . All they have to do is move back after the lunging strike without holding block . So you have to walk towards them to engage and then they plant and give you the good ol combo breaker and finish you off when you are rocked .

It's annoying asf . Super annoying .

But really what was the science behind the block breaking system ...I understand for finishing fights but man are there any alternatives ?

I post videos all the time of me dealing with pressure and against good pressure fighters too. Just recently, i fought Swiss who is literally scary to fight and he had Michael Bisping, a "stamina god" as you say.

Start from 6:38 to watch the fight.

Make no mistake, the balance between pressure fighting and outside fighting in EA Sports UFC 3 is the best and most realistic it's ever been, in any combat sim, that includes FNC.

If you run into a pressure fighter, understand that he is taking MOST of the risks. With the way the game is now... You have numerous ways of punishing that. You just need to use the tools you've been given.

If you know what you're doing, you might take some damage, maybe even get rocked badly and dropped, but eventually, you can usually weather the storm and stop these guys. Go pressure someone like Edparker and see what happens. You'd be sniped to death.

If you're consistently running into pressure fighters that are running you over, you're simply facing better players homie and that's okay.

@martialmind , I saw the video ...I was wondering I tried the pull counter a lot yesterday Cormier vs wandelei Silva . Is there a certain distance you have to be from your opponent to slip and counter .

But I will give it a go again . Thanks once more .

I have a lot of examples on my YT channel from the past cpl months where I am able to really take advantage of sloppy pressure fighters. It's not easy, but the new grappling, stamina & TD changes have helped. So have some new lunge mechanics/etc., which I myself need to work on some more. But...I know where you're coming from...pressure fighting has its place of course, but even if you BEAT these guys it can just be boring and frustrating anyway lol

This is a major reason why I mostly play LW and up. Maybe I'm just old and my reactions have dulled lol but FW and below just seem too button mashy for me most the time. I did have fun this past LEC, but everyone had 90 Stats of course which makes a huge difference.
