Come across lots of leg kick spammers. Almost unplayable online with that crap.

Re: Online spammers

I haven't had anyone quit yet in about 20 games. In my one submission victory he tried but I locked it in before the countdown hit 0.

I haven't had a big problem so far with spammers. Punch/kick spammers are easy fodder; just parry and counter and they go down for a first round KO every time. The game does punish you if you manage to run out of stamina and get countered. Submission guys are annoying but submission guys are annoying against the AI too so I just deal with it and get back to my feet ASAP.

Re: Online spammers

I have had ZERO quitters.

I am currently a black belt.

BTW- People get the loss, you just don't get the W.

I feel like most of the quitters are in lower levels.

ManiacMatt is very good at the game and I would listen to his advice.

Re: Online spammers

If you have high stamina even if you eat the kick, your counter is gonna do big damage, If you have no stamina, it's not. I don't think the blocking should tke as much stamina as it does, but it is what it is. Also sidesteps are amazing to counter stuff like that as well. side step and hit em. side step and hit em. It's annoying to play against, but really easy to beat.

Thats how I feel. I LOVE when I get a spammer because most of the time I tear them limb from limb
with ease.

I had one guy that picked bruce lee and thought he was gonna spam kicks and knock me out. Figure he was doing it with much success before we ran across each other lmao. Go ahead and spam if ya want, I have a trick for that ****!!!

Re: Online spammers

Playing career on hard has really helped my online game. Went 0-3 to start and then gave online a break. Retired my guy in career mode and started a career on hard. Started playing online again yesterday and am now 6-6 and only lost one game and have pulled off 3 submission wins. Haven't really ran into any spammers seems like I get pretty good opponents. Plus if u wanna spam me I'm gonna watch your stamina drain, take you to the ground, and make you tap out. Anyway, loving online now. Didn't think I would be this good at it but I attribute a lot of that to playing career mode on hard. I do need work on my game though cause I am susceptible to getting knocked the hell out lol.

Re: Online spammers

When someone spams, don't panic. Don't go heavy on the controls but take your time and counter. I fought Cain last night and the guy came out like a blazing fire. I hit him maybe 6 times in the stomach with hooks and he was done.

That's not to say it's easy. I understand the frustration, but if you can evade and counter you are set to win.

Re: Online spammers

2 quitters today. Can't stand it! Last one was a win I really needed.

Re: Online spammers

Had a guy in a submission it was over my fighter won and he quit at the very last second. Ea needs to fix this ****

Re: Online spammers

I am on board with the system they use for quitters, but I understand the frustration of not getting the win. The unfortunate thing is the pool of quitters needs to be established for it to work and that can only be done by us playing.

I still question why the one that stays on doesn't get a win. Genuine disconnects are rare.

I do more than question it. I will come out and flat out say it was a poor decision. Fifa, uses seasons, If your opponen't bails, you get a win. NHL, your opponent bails after the game hits the 18:00 mark in the 1st, you get the win. It's not like this is an EA policy that the game must complete for a win to be awarded. But to have someone locked in a submission, actually get the tapout, and see the octogon counting down, and then the message you have lost connection to your opponent. And then see no points awarded, No win given, then fight again, maybe take a loss, not goe promoted when you should already be through, it is frustrating, and the guy that decided that, in this game, we won't award wins to victims of disconnecters, should be barred from any decision making on future games.

Re: Online spammers

Had my dose of spammers. Really killed the enjoyment of this game.

Side kick, wheel kick, front kick, takedown. spam one to the other. A lot of smarter spammers now try to get a take down or spam superman punch or front kick and get up in a round and wait for you to come in the wheel kick tornado. Some guys start off straight but once they get in trouble, the spams start coming.

Here is the catch 22. They can spam jump kicks, superman punches, all kind of moves and lose little stamina and still can make the moves. But the defender loses all kinda stamina side stepping and jump evading. I never noticed till today how that was working. I never threw a punch, only moved and side stepped after his spam i moved in and was throwing weak punches and looked to see the stamina and he had half i had none. then he stalked me with a side kick spam and my stamina stayed at zero and his didnt go down much. He eventually caught me in the corner of the octagon where you kinda bounce around with the movement animations and was side kicked to sleep.

Let me add these are body spam kicks. Way too powerful / accurate with not enough stamina loss for making the move.

I wanted to keep this game. But if no progress is made this looks like it will be trade in credit for one of the Aug / Sept released games.

On the control scheme. I think the gameplay could have been much better if takedown block was R2+right stick to the left. Depending on the size of your hands flicking down is not a natural thumb movement motion when you have the controller in hand. Too often the stick goes more to the left then down and I get slammed. Even though i knew it was coming and ready. Its a control scheme everyone has to deal with. But i bet almost half of my times being taken down was the stick not going in the proper direction. If it was push left i woulda won a few more fights i think.

I don't think I could have said it better myself. Good post.
