Is this a new patch issue? (Bodykicks not connecting when they clearly should)

I've never had this happen to me before yesterday, but when I played yesterday (first time playing this latest patch) I had issues with body kicks not landing.

People clearly not blocking them, but somehow not getting hit.. This case was particularly bad because he literally sidestepped into my bodykick (which I predicted he would), but instead of taking increased damage, he didn't just get off scot-free, he got GA and took me down..

What's going on here? Is this just an unfortunate bug that's been here all along that I just happened to run into multiple times in a single day or is this a latest patch issue?

[edit]

Oh, this one actually did connect cause it seems to do a tiny tiny bit of body damage, it just didn't do anything else..

No sound, no hit reaction from the opponent.. It's as if I whiffed but the game seems to somewhat recognize that I didn't..

I'm even more confused now..

Yeah I've been wondering about this as well. I got a liver kick TKO when the person tried doing that when I had them rocked, still bothered me that it made it seem like it was whiffed.

I have noticed on multiple occasion that body kicks/body punches do land as u see the body health go down a little but there is no sound or anything, just seems to be a bug to the hit feedback mechanics

That was probably the weirdest I've seen.

Happens to me all the time

If they lean or lunge at the correct time it doesn't hit you for some reason.

The whole vulnerability to body parts while moving is soooo messed up. I keep getting leg health events just for getting kicked while moving.

I've seen quite a few at the edge of the range, and especially from side moving or stationary kicks that may look like forward moving kicks at a first glance. So, they look like they glance, but don't hit. In a way, they're OK.

But this one in the OP seems straight out bugged. Dude was pretty close.

It is bugged. Go lab it, use head movement and kick the guys gut. It happens lots.

Yeah you can reproduce this pretty consistently in practice mode.

Just happened to me online as Dos Anjos, I just got wrecked by a Cerrone hook ending a Straight Bodykick combo. Body kick didn't register and his hook ended me.

It's not just sidesteps either. Just leaning into the kick with head movement triggers this bug..

It's not just kicks.. It's punches too.. Smh..

Why is this a thing..

It's happening because the head movement system they spent 2 years making is a mess and they are trying to change it with patches.

Another problem with body kicks is that if you catch it and they block the strike,they will never get rocked.I can't remember EA UFC 1 or 2 having as many problems as this game has

You can still get rocked. The blocked strike still results in damage just 50% less than it did before the patch when you couldnt block it.

Oh and UFC 1 and 2 had the same amount of issues 3 mos out. ****, UFC 1 had lots more.

I've definitely seen some weird hit detection issues in this game --- especially when body kicks and head movement/lunges are combined, the Animation doesn't match the Result (i.e. FLUSH perfect-range kick doesn't register)

After the latest patch I felt that I noticed this more often so it's interesting you say this...hope they try to fine-tune hit detection in the next patch or two
