EA Sports UFC 3 Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

[GameplayDevUFC]

Gameplay changes only this time.

-further reduction to the counter strike vulnerability multiplier
-further tuning to the shape of the vulnerability curves while slipping to better balance with the above change

Based on our analysis, this seems to be the best balance of risk/reward between slipping and counter striking we can achieve with tuner sets alone.

This should hopefully mitigate the slip spam 50/50 problems a bit until we can get some more comprehensive changes in.

I do still feel the risk of throwing kicks is too high, and that will be addressed in the next patch.

Just couldn't fix it now without making counter strikes off slipped hooks/uppers feel too weak.

As always, feedback is welcome.

So excited for this. Thank you.

Hope sways have more vulerablity similar to lunges.

and lunges have no delay.

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

Make back lunges great again


Looking forward to seeing if this helps out the current meta

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

maybe it's less related to this thread
but i'v tried to find a feedback thread with no luck.

the only one thing which bothers me personally about this game is the
walk-off KOs.
now that we have ref interactions, it would be nice to get rid of those
and let us the control to choose if we want to walk off or not (like in previous games)
also it would be nice to get some new takedown animations (not from the clinch)
so the game will feel more crisp new

I understand that things are a bit more complicated than that for you
the develpoers but it would be nice if you considered it for future patches.

Beside that, great job on a great game and thanks for listening to us the fans.
sorry if it was less related.

when are combos going to be nerfed?? they instantly rock you and come out like bullets, people can spam it throughout the whole fight without losing stamina.

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

I'm actually starting to agree with the changes. You really don't know how it's going to playout until you have X amount of matches against equivalent skilled opponents. So I really can't say. Eventually I have no problems with any version of the game. It changing bi-weekly is my consirn.

Now the kicks, please think about this. Kicks are dangers to throw in real life, look what happened to DC against Jones when he threw the body kick (instant takedown) also the damage that head kicks do to the stamina they loose to me is perfect where it's at. Buffing kicks will make the gameplay look a bit unrealistic IMO. Kicks ALREAY can instantly win a fight and you have to always look out for them. So they need some risk reward balance.

So I'm thinking, you're thinking about reducing grapple advantage on kick recovery. Please leave it... I'll pay you! Can we lobby? jk a lil bit.

Leg kicks are very dangerous also. Just having to switch stances can totally change a fight. So buffing the kick I wouldn't be a fan of.

But like always whatever changes are implemented I'll use that to win.

You can keep tweeking this system until UFC 4... at some point we need to settle in.

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

I see no combo stamina changes or changes to the stamina at all. Makes me sad panda. Looks like I have to lay the game aside for another couple weeks.

Hope it's coming with the next patch next month?

.

Adding to this; please add “chainable” takedowns.

Also, don’t worry about adding animations to the current clinch system bc I’m sure you guys are working diligently on a new clinch system that allows players to strike, transition, score takedowns, etc WHILE moving [emoji6][emoji108]

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

less Counter strike vulnerability does this apply to all counters or just head movement?

Yh the combos and the stamina effect are ridiculous. Ppl can spam combos all day and still have good stamina. Throwing over 100 strikes a round smh...I think constantly throwing combos should have a bit more effect on long term stamina.

[MMA Damage]

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

People can still walk you down and will still sway spam till they get that counter rock/knockdown since we still have the terrible lunges and no punishment on whiffed strikes. So nothing really here that will affect the unbalanced meta of the game.

Re: Tuner Set - March 21, 2018

gameplay dev..


can you please give me your insight being the creator of the game.. how would you play against someone who ducks and sways before Literally every punch/kick and duck upper cuts after i throw 2 or 3 punches? im not being sarcastic or trying to come across as rude.

i just have not been able to figure out a good counter to that approach.. i will occasionally catch a ducker with a stationary upper cut. But that is no were near as powerful as a ducking upper cut. so it does not stop them from spamming the duck.. because over the course of the fight they will catch me with their ducking upper cut more than i will catch them. and even if the ratio was closer one of their hits could floor me

i just can not imagine you and others envisioned the game being played like this..

i’m pretty sure the stationary uppercut is faster and more powerful than any moving upper post patch. i was a duck uppercut spammer before the first patch, after that patched dropped i was getting caught ducking into uppercuts more than i ever got caught by a ducking uppercut.

that being said you have the right strategy to beat them, just gotta be more patient. no way are they eating uppercuts they’re moving into for long.

Definitely hope this is looked at

I did a poll a week ago and 75% of the community wants strikes to cost more stamina; maybe 15% wanted the same, and 10% wanted them to cost less lol

* Successful Strikes --- Increase Perm Stam Loss by 5%

* Blocked Strikes --- Increase Perm Stam Loss by 20% (they really need a boost)

* Missed Strikes --- Increase Perm Stam Loss by 10%



Reduce Block Power by 10%; Increase Time Required to regen block power by 50%; and add a 0.1% Perm Stam Tax on Sways/Ducks ---- and we would really be getting somewhere!!!
