What about a knockdown where you are just knocked the f out? they just decided not to sim this part of the sport which for the record, is exactly why I watch boxing and MMA - for the knock outs when someone is put to sleep. I don't mind the weak knock down animations (again IMO) but have only KO'd the comp once or twice on the 2nd knock down - it usually takes 3-4 times min though. I have never been knocked out on the first knockdown -
I think they should have put in special animations where you just know the fight is over and he's not getting back up - and I'm not talking about the animation where the ref stops mid count cause your're stumbling to get to your feet - I'm talking about one where you need smelling salts before you're going anywhere.
Also - finishing a guy who'd just been knocked down (and I mostly talking about fighting the computer) is flawed. I realize sometimes from a flash knockdown you recover pretty quick but I'm tired of getting stunned and knocked down myself when going in for the kill - the computer always fully recovers and just starts winging punches right after they got hurt , I mean come one - like a real fight they should be holding on and easily hurt after a hard knockdown. Instead they get back up as if nothing happened and same goes for me after I get knocked down - I don't feel vulnerable , it's like alright let's just keep fighting.
Side note : it would have been nice to be able to turn off the knock down game altogether for those of us who think it's stupid
