Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

We need a petition to remove ea from making a mma game

Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

Maybe they can keep CAFs in ranked so there's no playerbase split but add a toggle for CAFs, if you want to only face roster fighters.

Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

How about a new petition? Everyone that’s an MMA fan and everyone in the forums boycott pre-order sales and August 14 buys, since I heard EA team only want to cater to middle school casuals.

Gameplay dev requested removal of TKO on ground limp animation, and they refused to change it to downed opponent covering up until ref stops the fight..one of the most common ways fights are finished in MMA even casuals can see this on TV. We have had nothing but UFC fights showing since April.

It already exists. Just don't buy the game.

One person does nothing. We need to ensure that a large number of us don't buy the game to make any impact.

I stayed away from Ultimate Team in the past because I had no interest in fighting wacky characters. Hopefully, this is something we can toggle off like we could in quick match.

Right now you cant. Its either pay roster ranked and face CAfs or just play quick match.

What’s more possible? Separate CAF and roster ranked. Or a toggle in ranked for CAFs?

Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

they can put like quick match roster only or caf only

Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

Why are all of the gamechangers so LASER FOCUSED on this instead of the dumbed down gameplay?

Were you guys all okay with having almost no submissive clinch transitions and having the only option be to escape clinch?

When in a bad clinch position (too many to name just try it out) your only option is to escape the clinch. No option to advance to a better clinch position from these submissive clinch positions.

Also, having no option to manually pull the opponent back down from postured up GnP. Just hold R2 until the game decides to automatically pull them back down for you.

And no transitions from bottom when opponent is postured up ground and pounding lol. Were you guys all okay with this BS?

In case you weren't aware, we weren't even made aware of most of these changes until late. But it could have been worse, a LOT worse.

Also, we've been asking for a transition to OU in the clinch as well, amongst other positions, so its good to see other people are asking for more options there as well, speak up!

I want to be able to repummel into OU, and work to get Double Unders as well, along with trips from those positions. Currently the only way to get to OU, is to slip inside and input the clinch.


Edit: as for the transitioning during GNP, I 100% the sub guy should be able to do more than just frame against the hooks, and the reversal window needs to be opened up a tad bit.

@Counter Punch The Jab Feint Body Straight + other things were extremely unrealistic, and part of my gripe with some of the things that work in the game that shouldn't, is when it doesn't match things that would happen IRL. It's almost impossible to 100% get a game to match all of the different variables that can happen in an IRL Sanctioned MMA bout, but if we can get about 75% in, and then focus on balancing gameplay so people who buy the game won't have a terrible experience at home, then that's a win in my book.

There were TONS of casual players that were annoyed at mechanics being "cheesed" (a word I hate to say, but I'm going to have to say it) and it prevented them from enjoying the full experience of the game, or having the motivation to play if all you were going to deal with online were dudes zooming across the Octagon+ you don't have the timing or skill to counter a thing that should have never been in.

I hope you guys can get an input for o/u. Maybe use r1+rear punch. We should be able to transition to single under and double under from there. And we should be able to strike- shoulder strikes, stomps etc.

Laser focused? There are 9 GCs. I've seen maybe 2 talk about this issue publicly and I'm not one of them. I dont play ranked so this issue doesnt effect me but I 100% support this.

Regarding the "dumbed down" gameplay, we dont need to publicly address our issues with gameplay because we have been presenting them directly to the devs for months. Some changes resulted (the grappling system wouldve been much different and MUCH WORSE if it wasnt for us). Some didnt.

Our input is only as valuable as the devs deem it. Only so much you can do when the game is focused on attracting fans other than this hardcore community.

That's unfortunate. I mostly play quick match these days so it wouldn't effect me much, but that seems like such a backward decision to allow them in ranked. A separate leaderboard for CAFs would be ideal if they're set on going this route.

Fight 1 - Cruz
Fight 2 - Dude with swastika tattoo
Fight 3 - Spider-Man

I'm good.

I'm sick of the talk.

I want to see it. I'm skeptical that OSers will be willing to do it and thats why the target audience of this game isnt the hardcore community.

People got mad at me a few months ago when I made the "crackhead" comment but here is the ultimate test.

EA made a MMA game that is not tailored toward the realism community. They didnt input 80% of what you guys wanted on your wishlists. They are clearly saying that they would rather attract a different audience.

So what are you going to do?

If the answer is not buy the game, I accept that.

If the answer is buy the game and just accept that the game isnt going to be an ultra realistic sim, I accept that.

What I dont accept is doing what you guys have the last two games which is buy the game at launch and spend the next two years bitching and complaining about the game.

So much this. If you have to buy the game, buy it used and leave a scathing review on metacritic to hopefully discourage others from buying it.

EDIT:

Obviously, this is assuming the game hasn’t improved at launch
