Re: Striking changes I'd like considered for UFC 4

Thank you!!!!! I really thought i was the only one. Its unbelivable how arcadey the damage system is in this game. It personally takes out the fun from the new striking system for me. Why are people not realising that most problems they talk about for the striking system stems from the damage system.

Those threads might be pushed back further now, but trust me, we beat this topic to death lol. We all know how bad it is. A few people just seem to believe it’s not that bad because you should just learn to do the right combos, but for the most part, we pretty much feel like we shouldn’t see as many knockdowns and rocks as we do.


But back to striking changes, they need to bring back the uppercut animations from UFC 2. It had the right kind of extension to it imo.

Head movement having some what of a force field effect and being difficult if not impossible to hit with nonsensical random rotations (even makes body kicks miss) is absolutely annoying.

The patch that introduced the three rock state meta was the worst. Made it super arcadey in that you generally have about three rocks states before your head is damaged for good.

This results in boring predictable gameplay that's relatively unexciting. Also how many times do guys when get rocked IRL and survive the fist rock it's very rare.

wow.... i never knew about that patch. and i was wondering why in the beta the damage system felt more real. and i agree with everything you are saying i hope the devs really take into consideration on what you commented. I just hate the damage system right now and head movement.

Re: Striking changes I'd like considered for UFC 4

I really would like to see an overhaul & improvement of the block break system.

Straight vs. Round Strikes is a good starting point...but there are many other variables that should be taken into account IMO.

Not all Round strikes are blocked/parried in the same way. Not all Straight strikes are defended in the same way.

I think the simplest example is the uppercut. If you try to block an uppercut by covering up (like you might try to block a 1-2) ... that'll just leave your chin wideeeee open w/ these small gloves.

And vice versa.

I would really like to see the ACCURACY and BLOCKING stats play a bigger role.

High Accuracy means you can find little holes in your opponent's guard more easily, especially on the 2nd/3rd/4th strike of a combo.

Conversely, High Blocking will allow you to more easily adjust your guard as different types of strikes come at ya

Ever since Retracted Monkey first showed me the block breaking mechanics of UFC 3.....I had a love/hate relationship with them....more dynamic than an "arm health" damage meter, but still sort of gimmicky, especially the Guaranteed KO scenarios that OP mentioned.

Although not a Top 10 Priority .... I do hope hit detection/blocking/accuracy get a revamp for UFC 4
