EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

[TheSouthpaw]

What do you guys think about 1 hit ko's?

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

Yes, but it shouldn't just be random. If you get caught in a bad position and get crushed with a perfect strike it should be lights out.

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

Yes. But they need to slow down the kicks that you can't spam them. Also more stamina tax for kicking.

Otherwise the people who spam front kicks, head kicks, and all that spin stuf all the time without thinking will have a lot of 1 shot ko's

No, we don't need to make the game anymore luck based.

Some of these suggestions are downright ludicrous.

Not sure but in the first undisputed game sometimes it felt random as hell.

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

I chose " Maybe. If they're very rare " simply because they are very rare in real MMA competition at the level of the UFC. The only reason they are very rare, is because real fighters fight really smart. In EA UFC, you don't have to fight smart because all you have to do is make sure you can connect a bunch of strikes of any kind that include quick short jabs even at the closest range possible.

It all depends on how the devs do it, and how move set levels will be assigned to specific fighters. Someone like Miocic or Vitor Belfort for example, should have an ability to KO you with a high kick and it shouldn't even be that rare for guys like them, I want to have to fight carefully against guys like that, and right now I don't have to, I just have to watch out for jab combos which is silly and another reason why I don't play this game but want it to be good since UFC 1.

Again what I said in the EA UFC forums for years. DO WHAT THE UNDISPUTED SERIES DID and that goes for every single thing except for graphics (unless it means 60fps like Undisputed 1,2,3's were on previous gen consoles)

Dear devs, do what MOBA's do. Make it a very hard game by making it a sim, a game where players will lose fights not because the system is senseless and will rage quit, but they will lose because they will get caught with a big strike that will make them fight carefully the next fight, where they'll have it watch out for them unlike now. It will suck people in like MOBA's do because you'll feel how deep it is just like MMA is at the highest level.

Goodluck ya goofs, no idea what you'll do but I have my fingers crossed for at least an average game that will at least feel fluid in it's footwork and striking like in Undisputed

Also remember people out there care deeply about their records, and if they get knocked out and it feels at all random, everyone will turn into lay and pray artists.

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

After looking at EA MMA KO Highlights, I thought this was worth bringing up. Even though EA UFC 2 is much better in some ways, I felt like the KO's were more similar to real life in the way that they happened.

There was no need for a 4-5 hit combo beforehand, it was just a well timed strike that would do the job. I think 1-hit KO's if they are properly implemented would add a sense of danger to the stand-up. If I remember correctly the Gamechanger Solid Altair wanted a more EA MMA-like damage system.

Stamina system would need a lot of work before even considering adding them in in my opinion.

Why? Stamina isn't a huge factor on whether someone is getting knocked out or not.

Why? Stamina isn't a huge factor on whether someone is getting knocked out or not.

Because spamming is, and will always be, a issue as long as stamina isn't worked on.

If a high kick is to be way more dangerous in having it being able to deal one hit KO's, then shouldn't it be done so that if thrown, it has the same double edged sword effect that it has in real life if repeatedly thrown? The stamina tax on strikes missed should be way more punishing so that the heavier strikes needs to be set up beforehand and well thought up.

As it is now, you can just throw 50 high kicks in a round and still be in tip top shape in the 2nd round, so if you add in one hit KO's with the stamina build as it is currently, what's the downfall of repeatedly spamming the strike with the higher percentage of outcome to get you that 1 hit KO?

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

They got to be when a fighter has low stamina and off a parry or sway, but that means parrying and sway have to be harder to do and be at a risk more.

Then i think it could work, also it is a video game so I don't want to be 1-Hit KOed by a guy throwing the same strike over and over and I get knocked out in the first trying to dodge bombs from Robbie lawler.

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

Definitely should be in. But it should be a context and timing based thing, not some random event.. and of course stats should play a part too.

Stats should play a huge part.

Guys like AJ, Lombard, Hunt, Hendricks, Dodson, etc. Should have terrifying 1 shot ko power

On the other hand guys like Magny, Faber, Edgar, Bisping, etc. should have to put guys aways with volume.

There actually is a balance in this set up. Most of the guys with scary power don't have good cardio and most of the high cardio guys don't have scary power. There are plenty of exceptions but it's totally possible to do 1 hit KO's right.

Re: EA UFC 3 - KO Poll

No and I'll tell you why. 1 hit KO doesn't actually require any skill, there would be massive amounts of crying over it. Then what happens is the running around and top game grappling goes up 400% and we have to lay out sandbags for the flood of tears that will cause.
