    Re: EA Sports UFC's Third Patch Impressions and Thoughts

    Ok so im not the only one finding online a bit ridiculous. Amazing how the spammers always find a way isnt it. To devote ones existence to always finding a cheap exploit really is sad. But ya I fought a guy at LHW using Dan Henderson who seemingly had the hand speed of a bantamweight. Im probably just staying offline now as games like this will always have exploits

      That is the combo speed. Not an exploit. People can cheese with it, but it is not an exploit. This was intentional. You can do the same thing. Defending it is hard, but a really great player has come up with some tips to help people out. <---link to it.

        I'll try those tips. My goal is to see a guy that comes out throwing 100+ strikes a round pay for it in stamina drain and thereby highly susceptible to getting KOd.

        Right now I can get a disparity between my stamina and his but there isn't much of a payoff. I will try those tips.

          I just beat a spammer online and it felt so good. I played as Nick Diaz and he had Carlos Condit. Dude came out trying to body spam. He drained all his energy. I side stepped and went for a take down. Then proceeded to make him tap, all within 1 minute 30 secs in the first round. It was in brown belt division.

          Playing online has been a chore due to spammers, but playing the cpu on Pro has been lots of fun since the patch.

            The tips that fishingtime posted definitely help. Especially with the tapping of the block button against the Right/left hook spamming.

            I just hope any fix for that doesn't mess with the new strike system and its fluid movement.

              I could live with this but I'd rather see a speed and effectiveness drain after the 4-5 combo. Lets face it there are only a few great fighters that can sustain 6-7-8-9 strike combos without losing speed and power.

              I had a fight last night that went 3 rounds. My opponent threw 378 strikes and only landed 76. I was knocked out and my stamina ended up being lower than his.

                I agree. There should be an immediate stamina penalty for being unrealistically aggressive. There should be a vast difference in all around fighter movement when one is low in stamina and the other isn't.

                  It won't. I can guarantee that.

                    I have about 20 fights in since I read fishingtime's post on defending the punch spam and have seen much improvement. I am able to throw under 175 strikes a fight and can usually pull out the win. I just need to get to the third round. That's where you really see a spammer dwindle.

                    I still feel like these guys should be done by round two, but the blocking scheme of tapping the block really helps.

                      Ill try the suggestion of tapping block. Im also not a top player nor trying to be. I did encounter a guy who went body head body head so fast I felt paralyzed. See if tapping block helps there. I still think guys who throw tonnes of volume and miss should be penalized more.

                        It doesn't help to tap block against body as much as head shots. This issue is the same that was in FNC. Combinations don't fatigue a guy as much as they should. It's like they reward you for throwing them by not taking away stamina. I fought a guy that threw over 400 punches in an online match and I could do anything to him.

                        For whatever reason ('m assuming they want the fights to be action packed), they let you get away with throwing strikes and penalize you for trying to block them.

                            The problem I have been having lately is that the CPU (offline, obviously) rarely gets knocked down or stunned. I will hit my opponent with precise, hard shots (with full stamina), repeatedly, yet he seems to go unfazed. I will then take a couple hard shots and get knocked to the ground. Its very frustrating. I am usually able to still get the win because my submission game is pretty good but still.... The amount of hard, clean, signature shots I hit...... It shouldn't take that long for the damage to set in.

                              Well I'm just about done. Hopefully a patch pops up soon. The hook spam can be dealt with by tapping block but isn't nearly effective when they're spamming the hook to the body. Seems like the spammers have figured this out. I can probably live with it though.

                              However, the further I progress online the more I'm seeing the clinch exploit. You simply can't defend this and the better guys who exploit this don't just clinch and end the fight. They like to act like they're not exploiting this...I guess they don't want to be called out, but its obvious when you go for the clinch, rip a few knees and deliberately disengage only to do it again.

                                We do have a fix for the clinch exploit coming in the next patch.
