As crazy as this gameplay seems to literally all of us, this is exactly how the vast majority of the playerbase plays. And they have a blast doing it. It's good to have that kind of perspective sometimes.

That's definitely true!! They had fun. People forget that. If one person jumped all over the details it wouldn't be as fun.

It also shows that the paused pop-in walls of text are really ineffective for teaching the game.

Well in that situation yeah. You have 2 opponents trying to get back to the fight. I would think that is you were by yourself. You'll read a few of them.

Yeah, you would be more likely to read on your own. People read tutorials for a game like Dark Souls and they aren’t even that obvious to find.

This was a situation where it was two people trying to make a quick segment for a live TV show.

I take my xbox on the road for work a bunch, and I've seen many of my coworker's matches after a good amount of beverages. That clip was an accurate representation.
Well, a representation of people who don't own the game. So I wouldn't say 90%, or even assign a player base percentage for that matter.

People who own the game are naturally more inclined to want to get better and read and do tutorials.

Then in the worst case such as this they're intrusive. A lot of people are turned off by games interrupting the action to show tutorials. Even if you wanted to read them they're still not great educational tools especially for new players. Generally speaking the most effective way to learn any skill is by doing it yourself.

RM mentioned Dark Souls but Dark Souls in particular has a very minimalist approach where it uses very concise messages (Press R1/RB to attack) before presenting you with an option to use it.

My takeaway is to remove the forced tutorials (perhaps include a button like touchpad if you want tips?) and instead ask the player playing for the first time if they want an actual proper tutorial. Anyway it's fun to see people just have fun duking it our without worrying about metas or balance.

More inclined? Sure but I dont think to a great degree more than casual fans. The large majority of people who buy this game arent interested in getting great UFC 4. I honestly think most people who own the game are like me.

I legit have NO DAMN IDEA about what most of the people here are complaining about when it comes to gameplay and meta. I dont know the OP grappling positions or the money combos. I dont study or care to study the meta behing this game. I play offline and for fun and as long as the game is somewhat realistic, I'm OK with it.

I think we overestimate the amount of time that people are willing to invest to get better at a video game. The devs have telemetry on how long people read tutorials and how often they are in practice mode and other features that help you improve and its not a lot.

Part of that could be because the tutorials in previous games were crap but I also think its because most people just want to play and have fun.

At this point I’m just grateful we still have teep kicks before they decide to remove them because 80% of players don’t even know how to throw one.

It's always more fun playing against your buddies.

I would bet anything if they played a single game online, they'd stop having fun real fast.
