How do you get caf fighters in UT mode? Am i missing something i cant get any.

You just need to get lucky. I got a silver one out of a pack.

Faking transitions should indeed just be flicking in that general direction. Would be bad if there's some lag though.

I really struggle with pressure, both with dealing with shots, and getting out of the way

I can pick my shots easily against someone who is patient, but against forward pressure I am dead, and they dont seem to gas out because they always hit me, regardless if Im using head movement or blocking

You seem to get stuck in a combo which is annoying

Couple ways i deal with this:

Throw a lot of body shots if they are uber aggressive and just keep coming forward. After 2 rounds of consistent body shots, their stamina will be gone

Or just stand your ground with sways & dips to counter their volume shots. You are bound to hurt them and they will back up

How do you fake transitions?

I always thought it was just flicking the stick but even if I do it for the shortest time it still loads the transition meter and the opponent has time to deny and waste my stamina

It is. It's a very gentle light flick in the direction. They can still deny it if they do it in time though.

How do I break someone's guard?

In the beta, I had tons of success with jab, jab, jab, hook. I've only played 2 online matches but it hasn't worked once (Rocked them million times). They move back so quick that my 3rd or 4th strike just completely whiffs

I'm having the same experience. I would finish the majority of my opponents if this didn't happen

Well this is news to me.....but:

In offline mode, when grappling, if you hold down the block button, it'll bring up an arrow prompt the second your opponent goes to transition highlighting which way to block.

GREAT way to learn animations.

It doesn't hinder your stamina build up that much either.

Excellent addition to the game devs.

Okay. So first of all feel free to laugh at me about how bad I am at defending this. Once you've got that out of your system, I could use a little help.

I don't know how to stop people from immediately posturing up again after I pull them back down into top mount. This is like the third fight it's happened in and all of them look this bad:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/H7vYNbR_jHY?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I can assume I have to deny a posture up transition with R2 + Up, but it must be literally a split-second window to hit before the posture up takes effect (you can tell by the quick flash of the full mount options on the grappling HUD). And AFAIK I can't hold those buttons ahead of time - the transitions don't work like that. So how do people keep this from happening? Is the window for denying that bigger than it appears to be?

BTW, if I try to go into half guard like this I'll get knocked out of it by a strike, even if I block to get full GA. And arm-trapping a guy with near fight-start stamina doesn't seem like it's worth the risk, either.

Can somebody tell me how the hell you perform an rubber guard with an level 4 bjj transition guy? According to the list, rubber guard transition from full guard are supposed to include for the level 4 bjj transition? Why doesn't it show up when i have someone in full guard then?

I found a solution to those dorks that spam those body uppercuts all day.. just stop moving and stand in the center face to face and take them to uppercut city in the right hook mobile.

I was scared this new feature might be implemented in online before I tried any of the online modes. Thankfully not!

But I agree, great addition.

I don’t believe you can prevent someone from posturing up when they have mounted you. IRL, it is very difficult to prevent someone from posturing up, but it’s not very difficult to bring them back down.

It’s better if you block some of their strikes and move into Half Guard. You don’t want to be stuck in mount.

Re: EA UFC 3: Teach Me How To Thread: Tips, Strategies, Tutorials

I'd like to suggest something that helped me, when it comes to learning how to properly use head movement/sways, as well as learning how to better use body shots and mix your punches up:

Try switching the camera angle to "Tight". It honestly helped me a ton because you're focused more on fighting in the pocket rather than dancing and swaying all over the place. I found it much easier to identify what my opponent was throwing and react better with the camera tighter. Maybe my eyes are getting bad and the tight camera angle helps, either way I thought I'd suggest it.

How do I survive being mounted? As soon as I escape my opponent will go to side control then back to mount.
