I thought the patch made submissions easier...

[SoundTheAlarm]

THQ said that the patch would help make submissions easier, but I haven't seen it yet. Even if I play as Frank Mir, with a 92 Sub. Offense rating, I still have a hard time submitting Mark Coleman with a 49 Sub. defense rating. And I don't even stand a chance if their sub. def. rating is anywhere close to my sub. off. rating. Anyone else notice this?

Hm, I thought the patch was supposed to make submissions harder?

No it was supposed to be easier.

As for the op. are you spinning the stick? Are you sure your putting it on when the other guy is tired(yellow when the stamina bars on)? You are talking about offline right?

Yeah, I am talking about offline matches. I didn't know about any stamina bars, so I probably wasn't trying to put them on while they were tired. How do I turn the stamina bars on? Hopefully that will help. It gets boring winning all my fights by KO. Haha.

Im 95% sure you just pause the game and turn them on. Otherwise they are in the options menu at the main menu. Usually after 3-4 blocked trasitions in a row is the best time to throw one on.

Ok I found it. Thank you very much, hopefully this will work for me.

I recommend only using the stamina bars for a couple of matches just to learn what different motions have what kind of effect on it. The game is much more immersive when you pay attention to how much energy the other fighter is using and you pick up on the visual cues that they're ready to be submitted.

button mashing is the way to go. Just start tapping all 4 buttons repeatedly really fast as soon as the animation starts. It also helps if you wounded the guy first.

Re: I thought the patch made submissions easier...

I've noticed a difference. I actually submitted Penn in the 2nd round against the CPU, which I could never do before even with his stamina drained.

Online, I've no idea if it changed, but I've subbed a lot of people lately. I've actually got 36 online now, whereas before the patch I had maybe 7.
