Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

Could you maybe tell us something about leg kicks?
It plays a big factor in real life stand up and when a guy gets hit with many leg kicks without even attempting to block it will affect him a great deal in the later rounds. Could you tell us anything about this part? Same goes for a correctly time checked leg kick. If you cant say anything regarding this thing, could you maybe post a general statement about if it has changed in any way?

I'll be watching the beta very closely to see if leg kicks are OP. That should tell you a lot.

That recent Melendez fight? Totally possible in UFC 3.

Same with a Weidman/Silva like finish, minus the floppy broken leg part.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

Thanks for all the swift answers, really appreciate it! If the leg kicks are powerful when executed but does quite some damage to your leg when checked it is perfect, i am also quite sure that people will complain when the leg kicks are powerful. To balance this out it would be fair imo that if for example the left kick gets checked a couple of times, the leg becomes much less useful and powerful. Maybe a stupid idea but it would balance the leg kicks out a bit.

Are leg kick knowdowns possible? For example, I kick the **** out of my opponents legs, he goes down but can get up again. Or will the fight be over once he drops from a leg kick?

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

Would've liked to had Gaethje in the beta Looks like I'll have to go with Conor then

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

I would like to know if the game now take into better consideration the difference between fighting an orthodox or a southpaw.

For example will a rear body kick have a chance to do more damage if placed from the correct range , targeting the liver ?
Or will the lead hook have better performance against the opponent 's jab in this stance?
Will keeping the lead foot on the outside have some impact ?

Can we also have some information about the long reach fighter vs short fighter matchup ?
will the taller fighter's strikes be somehow less efficent when opponent will be able to close the distance ?

Also i would like to thank GPD for the amazing job on the ground game in ufc2 and the feedback you gave to the community, i read all yours and GC's posts since the old EA forum and having the chance to understand the logical thinking behind some of the gameplay choices is really amazing.

This is awesome. Barboza is gonna feel like a whole new level of realistic now.



^That fight in general is such a leg kick clinic. Recommend everyone checking it out as a side note. Was against Mike Lullo. It's a horror movie.

What about Gaethje though? Can he throw leg kicks in the clinch? He does it very often irl and it's very effective for him. I think that'd be a very cool thing to add to his character to make him unique.

Yes to these, will go into more detail when I do a full breakdown.

Yes I'll go into detail on this as well.

Thanks. I hope you enjoy the standup in UFC 3 just as much.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

There's one thing that Im curious about that we wont see in the beta. Are fighters in different weight classes going to have different character models? Conor at FW vs Conor at WW is a big one, GSP at MW vs GSP at WW etc.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

Really looking forward to the stand up breakdown, appreciated the grappling breakdown so much. I am still so bad at the ground game, i have a kickboxing background and wrestling and such is not televised in my country.
Because of ufc 2 i started to appreciate the ground game more and more and will try to be at least decent with the ground game in ufc 3. I guess with the improved stand up and the flash ko and such it maybe also a safer route to victory i guess.

I feel like Conor shouldn't be at FW since he hasn't fought there in 2 years and has no intention to either.

You could counter that by saying GSP hasn't fought at WW in 4 years but he's the WW G.O.A.T

I'm curious what everyone else thinks about this.

Nope if someone has fought in a weightclass they should be included in that weightclass.

Well that makes no sense to make an exception for one and not the other.

He knocked out Jose Aldo in 13 seconds at featherweight. He should be in at featherweight.

Re: EA Sports UFC 3 Beta!!

Yeah, it really is. Going to be a little too much Conor's though. Hopefully he isnt too ridiculously rated (who am I kidding).

Lol yh you won't be seeing much of that list online. Mostly Conor and Khabib. And right who are you kidding? You know that man will be OP as hell lol.
