What grappling positions are not in EA UFC 2 that you wish were included?

[GameplayDevUFC]

I'm interested to get the community's view on this.

What grappling positions would you like to see in the game and why?

For me, my #1 in the double leg against the cage, with entries from ground, clinch and standup.

After that it's not as clear.

I think my #2 would be quarter guard, to help balance mount escapes.

After that things get even less clear to me.

Maybe butterfly guard, but it's really not as common as it was a few years ago.

Smash pass maybe.

I'm interested to read other opinions.

Seated against the cage. (Would actually make the over/under getup here go to seated, then to over/under.) Body lock with the head pressing into their chin. As well as using the shoulder to press them in to the cage to restrict their breathing. This has a chance for the opponent to elbow though, as well as attempt a guillotine. Both should have the guillotine available here though.

One other from me I forgot. The double leg on the ground position.

Where when guys shoot in for a blast double, get it but end up on the ground holding both legs, and the guy who got taken down pressing down on the head.

I think it would be a nice way to add a blast double without it being too OP.

I would also like to see the can opener from full guard for certain fighters. GSP is notorious for this.

Takedown from sprawl position (but really hard to pull off)

double leg takedown from cage is a must

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16jacXJvHi4 (11:20) Wrestlers use this positions all the time (eddie alvarez vs pettis)

Knee on belly and some variations to single collar tie.

Maybe I'm dreaming, but having to work to get your hooks and take someones back would be cool.

Body triangle.

Variations to stacked guard.

Re: What grappling positions are not in EA UFC 2 that you wish were included?

I only hope that #1 in the double leg against the cage, with entries from ground, clinch and standup.


and hope added this takedown and then seated against the cage.


Also, I really hope that tweaked the cage wall walking like this gifs :
- First of all, changed the cage walk camera into front view.




- We need to be able to throw punches and elbows to the head and body in seated against the cage.


+ pass to guard, too.


Thank you so much!

Re: What grappling positions are not in EA UFC 2 that you wish were included?

These are necessarily positions, but I think it would be cool to add slams as a way to get out or try to get out of guillotine chokes.







I would also like to see the ability for the bottom fighter to get up from the sprawl position and the top fighter have short elbows and the ability to throw knees while the button fighter is attempting to stand up from Sprawl.

Lastly, I think that the cage work needs a little boost. I think it should be more difficult to break a clinch from the cage than the middle of the octagon.

Yes, blowing out the catch kicks into full positions is another high priority one.

Good list.

I'm surprised to see 50/50 guard so high on the list.

Interesting choice.

Re: What grappling positions are not in EA UFC 2 that you wish were included?

Hi, wish to see following positions and animations

1. Sliding knee bars. We saw Palhares do it all the time, last to use it was Ian Entwistle in UFC Zagreb


2. Punching while defending a sub. (Not manual) but to end a sub defense with a punch or two (happens all the time)


3. Bulldog choke. Think Pennington used it last.


4. Triangle hold around the body from back mount (most common use position)


5. Uppercuts from the Thai clinch


6. More butterfly guard animation (just for some transitions- more then two used now)


Will write more when I remember some

Re: What grappling positions are not in EA UFC 2 that you wish were included?

One thing Undisputed added to the clinch that really worked well was being able to close the distance when clinched. This made a lot of the harder strikes like knees to the head impossible without having to add distance. They also let you punch out of it. I also want the ability to release the clinch and strike someone on the offensive side. Right now, if you let the clinch go, you are pushing them. Would love to see a button combination that will do this. With some kind of defense as well. Need to be able to pull them in tighter if you see it coming.

Crucifix from back side!

Both Nogs should have it!
