Was something done to block seems a lot weaker

Re: Was something done to block seems a lot weaker

I hate the moving forward blocking breaking fast. Sometimes you just want to come forward and put pressure to get them thinking about what your gunna do, but then you get dropped in seconds from the same few combos people throw over and over.

You try and move forward on a featherweight conor user and your going to sleep quick. It’s not like it’s skill. They just throw the same combos and your block always breaks on the 3rd or 4th strike, but it’s too fast to even dodge. Then throw in just a lil bit of online latency and it’s just a mess..

Over the last 2 days this game has just been so rage inducing. I don’t mind losing at all, but they way it’s happeing now is gross.

I get such a headache playing this game.

I hate this patch!!! 😡

Re: Was something done to block seems a lot weaker

I think the block is now broken down wayyyy to fast now. I mean its crazy. Its so easy to just spam jabs and straights and break down somebodies block and rock or KO them.

I hope they fix this and strengthen the block because it's leading to just KO fests in every fight. Very very few fights go for very long because of the blocks breaking down so easy. Somebody always gets knocked out. Fights rarely get past the 2nd round hah. People are getting KO's by jabs for christs sake hah.

Def would like to see a fix for this.

Get rid of combos... we don't need them in this game... seriously so annoying.

Feel like this update made my playstyle (which is a shot picker usuauly max 2 shots at a time) completely useless. Doesn't matter if i counter with a overhand anymore as you guys took the power out single shots and made the jab straight the end all be all.

Re: Was something done to block seems a lot weaker

I think the issue is the jab

As someone who fights off of the jab it shouldnt have much if any impact on someone’s block.

That way people would have to throw hook-upper-hook instead of 1-2-1-2 to break block.

Well ppl said the block was too strong. Now it's weaker and everyone wants it back strong again lol. But I agree with the above post...the jab shouldn't have much effect at all on block at all.

Re: Was something done to block seems a lot weaker

Guess I'll put in my two cents...

Before determining the blocks break too fast I strongly urge people to try playing career mode (which has it's own issues). You can't tune a sports game around people who don't play the sport as it's usually seen (i.e. on TV), and expect the results to look like what you see on TV.

If fighters in UFC walked forward striking and had as little care for their health/life as people in the ranked modes on this video game do, I'm sure it'd look a lot closer to what you see in the game than you might imagine. Having the block break down when pressing forward makes a lot of sense IMO. Granted I've been getting tuned up A LOT online since the patch, I'm sure with time I'll get used to things. Still in the trying to break old/bad habits phase.

I haven't had a single fight make is past the 2nd round since the patch. Hah not one. With the block breaking so easy, it's basically whoever breaks the other guys block the fastest and then it's just rock city until an eventual KO.

The jab should not be able to break down your block like it does. Their needs to be something added to punish those who are abusing the 1 2's over and over, throwing in a hook here or there to just break down your block in .5 seconds and rock you, then rinse and repeat when you get back up.

I don't know what they have to do to fix that but for right now I'd settle for the block to be pretty much twice as strong as it is now because it's almost completely useless at this point, which is why nobody is getting fights even into the 3rd round let alone to a decision. It's just KO city and combo spam.

I like a lot about this patch, I do, but they need to tune some stuff up with the striking and block otherwise this game is now just rock um sock um robots. Not fun winning that way and obviously not fun losing that way. Skill gap has been narrowed down considerably. Anybody now who even semi knows who to watch their stamina, can just throw combos, break your block, and get a KO. Every match is basically 50/50. Who gets off the most combos first wins. That's not what I want in a simulation mma game...
