    Ref Interactions: Amazing new feature that needs to be utilized more

    First off, this patch is amazing. Seriously, great job Devs and thank you.

    My favorite feature by far though is the new ref interactions. They look great, and add much needed authenticity to the end of fights. So here I am, asking that it has an even bigger presence in the game.

    It is true that GDP said Finish the Fight sequences are more frequent, and walk-off KOs are fewer. I have no doubt this is the truth, however, I'm not sure if its my playstyle or if it is because I'm playing against the AI, but walk off KOs still occur more than Finish the Fight in my experience so far.

    So this is my request: Please add these new ref interaction finish the fight sequences to ALL KOs.

    Shocking right? We all know this has been requested before, but here is what has changed:

    -Added Referee break interactions during Finish the Fight
    -Reduced number of strikes before Referee steps in during Finish the Fight

    These were big reasons why the crew decided to do away with Finish the Fight after KOs. Now that conditions are better surrounding this area of the game, I am requesting Finish the Fight gets added back to being an option after KOs.

    Like I said before, the animations look great and add realism to the end of fights, I'd love to see them more in the game. You could still allow walk-off KOs by having the "walk-off celebration" animations trigger after a few seconds after a KO, if the player doesn't attempt to follow his opponent.

    Sorry if it seems like I'm being ungrateful asking for more, on the day of the patch, because I really am appreciative of the patch. In fact, I want something introduced in the patch to be in the game more, thats how much I love the patch. Thanks again, and tell me what you think guys.

      Trust me, I'm more grateful than you realize. Just look at my Thread history. Almost all of them are about Finish the Fight and KO scenarios. This was an amazing patch all around.

      Just wanna give input as soon as possible, more possibility of it happening and all that. Thanks again to you and the crew.

        You took the words right out of my mouth, awesome post. This patch is literally AMAZING. GPD thank you and everyone who worked on this patch once again. With time, if strikes after a knockout gets added, do you think there's a possibility to have the unconscious fighter be in some kind of "ragdoll mode" on the ground when being finished? Only when a knockout happens though. Once again thank you.

          Yeah Undisputed 3 had the "ragdoll mode" after a KO finish the fight, it looks great. Makes everything about the sequence feel dynamic and unique.

            If EA will do it, EA UFC 3 will be the best mma game ever for me.

                  I think playing the AI has a lot to do with it getting more straight up KOs.

                    Am I the only one who doesn't care what so ever about the refs? They serve no purpose in the game yet people complain constantly about them! I'd take improved crowd reactions improvements over ref animations any day.

                      I think what they’ve done with ref interactions is unbelievable in the amount of time they had to do it, I’ve also noticed ref stand ups while stalling on the mat and in clinch. I got caught stalling on the ground at one point and the ref stood us up quick and I wasn’t mad about it I actually liked it it seemed quicker and more reasonable which was awesome also my opponent was holding me in the clinch and the ref separated us I LOVE what you guys have done so far with the interactions

                        Some people would say the same thing about "crowd reactions improvements".

                            Impressions

                            I was holding off from buying this game until the patch dropped to see what could be done with the gameplay and most importantly for me what they were going to do if anything with FTF. I actually cannot believe that in 1 months time-frame the the developers have managed to put in 50 changes and add in ref interactions which i was insanely pleased with when it was revealed.

                            They seriously look incredible and ultra realistic in terms of the animations , way way better than UFC undisputed actually. What i love is that the ref continues to cover the fighter and wave the doctors in while the victorious fighter gets up and walks off to celebrate. Whereas after the ref separation in undisputed the animation just hung for a few seconds with the fighter just standing there shaking his fist and the ref just blankly starting at the crowd.

                            Thank you to GPD and the other developers because this FTF issue was a major concern for me with the game. But i can now rest assured that the game will become the best MMA game ever in a few patches due to the care being taken to enhance the game.

                            Now we have such as strong base for ref interactions in the game i can 100% agree with this quote and in terms of the future i with out a doubt would like to see this extended to all finishes not just TKO scenarios like you said. I think the very best way to implement this would be to allow the player 1 at 2 max follow up shots after the KO before the ref steps in to separate; with just one leaping hammer fist and another single follow up shot or just two grounded follow up shots.

                            That's just a suggestion but im sure GPD has plans for this at some point, especially now that the amazing addition of ref interactions essentially dissolves any controversy surrounding the previous games FTF mechanics.
                            -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                            Anyways sorry for rambling on but i will definitely be buying this game on the PS4 once im done with Shadow Of The Colossus and if i could i would donate tenfold the amount to the development team. This is truly appreciated and i don't think there is any other development studio that currently engages with fans like this and then implements the changes so fast.

                              I damn near wanted to shed a tear when the ref stood up an opponent who was just laying on top of me doing nothing.
