The new controls is part of what makes us have to remember combos. As well they recaptured over 5,000 animations, and redesigned fighter movesets to allow more individuality. Which is more realistic, many fighters in EA UFC 2 had off the wall techniques they shouldn't be able to do since we never seen them use it such as Pettis showtime kick being accessible to many roster fighters besides Pettis.
EA UFC 1 & EA UFC 2 you had to remember combos as well because not every fighter had that strike you are looking to use. Recently on EA UFC 2 I've been using Bobby Green and he does not have body kicks and knees with both legs, so I have to remember I can't use certain combos with him like I would if I was using Donald Cerrone.
Remembering combos is not new. It's more so remembering the moves we have access to. The same could be said about the clinch and ground game as well for all 3 EA UFC games. It's just going to be more noticable this time because everyone won't have all kinds of crazy kicks or punches this time around. If you played UFC Undisputed this also isn't something new. Some fighters couldn't throw any kind of head kick if or any Technique Punch like Chael Sonnen if you remember that.
EA UFC 2 I had a problems with fighters not having access to basic strikes with both limbs, some fighters couldn't throw body kicks or elbows or body knees with both limbs because the control scheme prevented it. EA UFC 3 I don't see that being a problem with R2/RT being also a knee/ elbow modifer, and L2/LT a body modifer. With those modifers every fighter should know have elbows knees, and body kicks with both arm or leg.
Remembeing combos is simply remembering moves our fighter has access to that way we know what moves can be chained together.
The new controls and mechanics will also prevent people from throwing 6-12 body uppercuts in a row as well which was an unrealistic combo.
That or body 1-2 combo to sliding head or body kick I don't feel will be as effective in this game. Vulnerability will put an end to that or any other exploit like combos. I like the changes I already bought my copy I'm ready for the game.
