Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
This is my BIGGEST issue with the game by far....I created Shogun Rua muay thai fighter, and all he does on HARD level is try to engage the muay thai clinch and it will work 9 times out of 10. Frustrating and not balanced at all. I asked here how to stop the clinch and someone said to use the sprawl button. makes no difference whatsoever....Is there any advice anywhere here on how to fight standup? I tried taking Fedor against people on medium and a lot of them just always try taking me down. I've gotten good at avoiding takedowns, but it seems impossible to sit and punch...whenever I get anywhere near in range to throw punches that might land they either try and clinch or takedown. I can't really throw combinations or anything, and if it somehow gets to be an exchange I end up getting rocked and KO'ed.
I've gone through the tutorial mode in career where you learn the buttons, but whenever I try feinting or anything it doesn't seem to be beneficial. They just always try the takedown. I know I can then use the ground game, but I'm trying to work on being able to box/kick and not suck.
Does any CPU guy ever actually throw punches? Or are they always just looking for clinches or takedowns?
I never really had a problem with UFC, but I just can't seem to get anything to click here with regards to standup...it's weird, i'm sure I'm just missing something....
if anyone has an idea to stop the cpu from clinch-whoring you on HARD level let me know...Comment

Hit the sprawl button. You need to make sure you arent blocking and that you time it early enough. The higher your defense stat the bigger your window to defend is. After 4-5 straight blocked attempts they ease up for a while.This is my BIGGEST issue with the game by far....I created Shogun Rua muay thai fighter, and all he does on HARD level is try to engage the muay thai clinch and it will work 9 times out of 10.

Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
The beauty of this game, the CPU is always reacting. I like to lead with a job w/ my career mode fighter. After about 5 times of that, the CPU begins parrying or blocking the jab and countering.Originally posted by MoJust once I'd like to be the one they call a jerk off.Originally posted by MoYou underestimate my lazinessOriginally posted by Mo**** ya

You'd be best waiting for the patch and making sure they actually address some of the key issues. The game certainly has a lot of potential, but a proper patch is a must first.Comment

Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
Is it even possible to win via submission on hard or legendary? No matter what the hell I do I can never sink in a choke or limb lock...
On medium it was simple, basically if I got it on I'd submit them...up it to hard with my maxed out sub guy against Lyman Good and he refuses to submit to anything....
Is there something more than just getting in the right positions and executing? I try and get their stamina down but that doesn't seem to help much...
I am enjoying this game but I will say that their difficulty levels suck hardcore. Medium is sooooo easy but Hard is way way harder than medium....IMO they need a way to let people ramp up in difficulty, not get frustrated because nothing that worked on the prior level works here....
Is there some trick? Just doesn't seem to work, and now my sub guy is useless because he can't stand up to save his life (gets rocked after like 3 punches)...Very frustrating to say the least...I would think a 100 sub guy should be able to submit a 41 sub guy, you know?Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

Legendary, no idea. Hard - yeah, it's really up to the user. I find limb submissions much easier. My career fighter wins by submission in the first round pretty much every single fight. He's too powerful. I wish I could skip weeks in training to even him out.Comment

Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here
Choke should be your only problem with higher difficulties. Whats happening with limb submissions? If you tap the button slowly you will tap them within 30 seconds or so max. They wont get into a submission battle like a person can. Are you gassing yourself out or are they just escaping?Is it even possible to win via submission on hard or legendary?

Quick advice, dont tap real fast to start the battle. Tap just enough to keep the battle going, the cpu will gas pretty quickly. Thats when you tap faster to lock in but dont button mash to lock in either.Comment
