    This game is so broken

    Inside slip the jab, then straight, lead hook kd’s. Jab while walking backward will give you space.

      Just because you don't know how to play and deal with pressure (which you can) doesn't mean the game is broken.

          Maybe broken isn't the right word but its a frustrating mess to play. You have half the forum asking to change the grappling which should be an indication that its not as fun as it should be.



          Is everybody wrong and this game is incredibly fun to play? Because the playerbase was at 2800 last night. UFC Chile is this week. I always get the urge to play after watching the UFC events then remember how annoying the game is.

            It is hard to post a video of dealing with pressure because it doesn't happen if you have good movement. You make them whiff a few and land some jabs and body shots and they stop pressuring you after one or two exchanges. Then you post a video and people just say that guy didn't press the way everyone I play does.

              Aren’t they the one’s choosing to back off in that situation, though? It’s not really you maintaining space, its them being forced to give you space.

You cannot convince me that another company couldn't have made a better game mechanically. I know for a fact THQ could because they did. So sad, this game is garbage.

                  I feel for you OP, or anyone else trying to pick this game up. I'm mostly pleased with the standup balance, but it sure as hell is much easier to constantly throw strikes than it is to punish someone constantly throwing strikes.

                  I would suggest learning how to be the aggressor. Anyone telling you that you are bad and just need to learn head movement is full of it. Sure you can (and must) pick up on patterns and punish with slip strikes here and there, but head movement is entirely sway n pray if used as a primary defense against overwhelming strike output. You will lose with this approach virtually always.

                  I'll also point out that "button mashers" in this game are often highly skilled. Do not confuse getting beaten by a constant barrage of skilled strikes with losing to a no-skill masher. Don't be so hard on yourself. Watch what they do, and try to learn from it. Pay close attention to what combos are being thrown and when. Get a feel for the general striking cadence, and try to emulate it.

                    Saying the game is broken is a HUGE exaggeration at this point.

                    I have my issues with the game, but it’s still the best MMA game ever made. If you disagree prove me wrong.

                      I agree but I think a large part of it has to do with the fact that EA has the UFC license, and almost any MMA game without UFC fighters wouldn't gain enough traction to have a budget.

                      And in that respect, I don't think EA has lived up to the potential they should have by now. There are basic things that dated games still have that this game lacks, but overall it is the best MMA game

                        My point exactly. All these patches in the THIRD game of the series. Really??? I don't think they even have the excuse of having to tune the game for a new generation console either. It's ridiculous to have to relearn to play a game 3 or 4 times in the third iteration of what is basically the exact same game.

                          To be fair they’ve pretty much rebuilt the stand up. The direction head movement went in was a huge mistake but it has been mostly fixed

                            They didn’t roll back the head movement they doubled down on it and expanded it.

                            I’d be interested to hear what you felt the mistaken direction was.

                              Head movement was absolutely terrible pre patch. Fighting people essentially had to do with guessing whether they would duck uppercut or slip hook,

                                It wasn't until I saw someone point it out in another thread that I realized that I haven't had a match go to a decision since the last patch. And that's fine as far as trying to keep the game exciting but it also speaks to a complete imbalance in play. I realize the devs want this to be a stand up and bang type game so they can show off all their pretty animations but I think we see that the pendulum has been allowed to swing much too far in one direction.
