    My defense is terrible

    I just started playing and my defense sucks. I feel like maybe I'm trying to block too many punches instead of bobbing and weaving. What would you say is your percentage of block attempts vs. moving to avoid getting hit? 50/50? I would guess I'm blocking around 60% of the time, and I'm losing fights I shouldn't be losing.

    When you put up your guard is stays strong only so long. I refresh it when I can. I release and re-engage now that the perfect block doesn't open a counter window anymore. On GOAT I usually keep the CPU around 35%. Vs humans anywhere from 25-45%.

      My block is always used judiciously buy it doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't know if it's out on the internet but the cry is now "If jab spamming to the body doesn't work just try the head".

      It might be that the counters aren't as effective, but guys are now jabbing high and low with impunity.

      The blocking has to be reworked or at least made more workable or intuitive. In it's current state the game is a mess.

        It's too weak vs. the jab. When I try to finish an opponent and I am tossing hooks and uppercuts I can't get through at times.

          Someone just worked me over with the PacMan stepback move. When I try it with Pavlik I can't do sh$t.

            It sounds like "If he can't hit ya, then he can't hurt ya." I'm just gonna have to try more moving and less blocking. I'll give it a couple hrs today, but if i'm still getting mashed by Glass Joe then it's on to Tiger Woods 12 or back to NBA 2k11.
