Haz, I've never met you, but I think I love you. Thank you for speaking for all of us MMA fans who find this game fails to reflect our sport.

I've been following MMA since its inception in 1993. I've been playing MMA style video games since Fire Pro G on PS1 in 1999 on a modded american system. I've played the original UFC games on PS2, the original PRIDE game, the MMA mode in King of the Colosseum, Undisputed, EA MMA etc,. MMA is my favorite sport, video games have been a hobby of mine since I was a child.

UFC 3 is what casual fans want UFC to be. It is not an accurate representation of the sport.

Striking in MMA is not non-stop action.

For the most part, most major sporting video games mimic the flow and pace of their actual sport.

UFC 3 does not.

Is UFC 3 trying to be a sports game or a fighting game? In needs to figure that out.

Two of the three biggest elements of MMA, grappling and clinching, are terribly implemented in this current iteration of UFC and only further the "stand and bang" mentality that is a cancer to our sport.

If EA is trying to make a fighting game with UFC rosters, go for it, but I won't be buying. If EA is actually trying to emulate the sport of MMA and create a realistic simulation, it has failed.

Yes-men make you feel good, but valid criticism taken to heart and applied makes you good.

Now back to UFC 221.

So Serengeti apparently is a master turtle.

He’ll do what Romero did but after you throw the first combo he’ll just duck uppercut +hook you. Now your stamina is low from the first combo, even lower after the whiff and you’re in a vulnerable state. He gets mad rocks and knockdowns from it.

If you try to back up he’ll just follow you while holding high block and wait for the above to happen. Any kicks thrown also get duck uppercut because he’s so close.

Can confirm this is an issue. Iron_Sharif plays like this on PS4 but also spams body knees into your gut after you try to break his block. Definitely needs to get looked into.

You mean like this? lol. I'm in the blue corner. 100% agree it needs to be changed tho. I've been campaigning for it.

Yup. Very similar to 1:44 onward. It's really dumb.

I think that knee needs to be less safe on block. It's too good to throw out as a big, low risk, stamina draining poke. Kenetic was telling me it can be countered with stationary hooks as intercepts, but I would like the ability to block and punish, and that is very hard to do as it stands.
