I got used to the submission system playing UFC 3, I'm good at it but until now I still HATE it. I really feel like button-mashing is the appropriate method for submissions. I'm glad this 'Bellator:MMA' game applied it and I'm excited to try it. I know not everybody likes the idea but for me, I think it's better than a "cat 'n mouse chase" mini game that covers the whole picture and takes your focus away from the fighters.
The display is bad but I'll take EA MMA's and UFC's submission system over that. I'll hate to lose a match by sub because some person is faster hitting the buttons or has a controller with a turbo option.
