"Tuned the submissive fighter's escape from back mount to half guard to be a bit more difficult"

NICE --- it's so hard to finish people w/ GnP from back mount...they can transition to HG without worrying about strikes intercepting!!!...this should help some I think (though I still think strikes from back mount should disrupt the transition to HG at least...??...maybe not the roll over to Full Mount, but the HG transition is OP due to strikes not stopping transition...oh well this is a start!)

"Added new grapple momentum scenarios to a few ground and clinch transitions"

I love the concept of grapple momentum; can't wait to find out what positions this applies to, nice

Enough of those changes, and we could probably carve the multiplier system into something tolerable to you guys for now.

Maybe.

I really think people are mistaken the inability to block because of hit reactions for the problems with the combo multiplier. I've seen guys do 10 strike combos, and the multiplier was gone long before they knocked out their opponent. The random rocks last game are also a part of why people wanted the multiplier gone.

I really think other things are making people believe the multiplier is the problem. It is unrealistic maybe, but it would take forever to knock someone out without it.

Something like this is much more viable than removing the combo multiplier altogether.

This might even be too heavy handed a change though, as there are realistic combos that mix high/low in real life.

What would be even more viable if specific combos were identified that should be removed from the multiplier system because they are unrealistic or exploited.

With solid reasoning behind it, those changes could be made I imagine.

Okay thanks for the info!

I also wished when you have someone's back and flatten them out, it should not be so easy to go flip over to full mount from the bottom.

I wish they made the back flatten out more of a dangerous spot like in real mma were you never want to be in this situation.

But isn't it the damage bonus from the multiplier that causes a lot of the hit stuns? Or am I interpreting it wrong?

It seems like the problem is a combination of both.

Re: #patchspoilers 1.07

I wouldnt assume that all or most casual fans buy the game because of the "faithfulness to the sport and realism".

I have friends that buy FIFA because they have their favorite team but who turn off offsides, red cards and increase the speed so that its super fast.

I have friends that buy Madden and play with penalties off and never punt.

I have friends that play 2k who turn all fouls off and increase the dunk sliders so that there are more dunks.

My point is you can buy a UFC game for the graphics, the roster and the sport and not want it to be a true simulation of the sport or care if its faithful to how the sport really is.

Ok I get what you're saying and you're right not everyone enjoys MMA in its totality like a hardcore player would and hardcore payers will always purchase the next EA UFC game due to it being the only MMA game on the market for now. In that case for EA to make the game a sim wouldn’t be a smart business move.

That does leave a pretty big space for another, smaller company, to make a simulation fighting game for the hardcore fans though (which I think will happen sooner or later) because there is a demand for it and an enterprising individual or small company will eventually take notice of that and do something even if EA and the likes doesn’t.

How does Big Nog not have a submissive sprawl sitout sweep!?! I wasn't aware it was in the game....

He practically invented the sitout sweep (facepalm)

They won't have the license, and the market for an unlicensed hardcore sim MMA game is very, very small.

So their budget will be equally as small, so it won't have anywhere near the feature set of EA UFC, EA MMA or Undisputed, no matter how well intentioned they are.

The best you could hope for is a cult classic niche MMA sim game, which may be all you're after, but it likely wouldn't be a blip on EA's radar.

I don't say this to sound cocky. Believe me I would LOVE to have competition. But it's not the reality of the world right now.

I wonder what the new momentum transitions are... Anyone have any guesses of what they could be?

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Patch 1.07 Coming Soon, Here Are Some Details

@GPD

Will it also include fighters or will it just focus on tweaking the game?

I dont know for sure but I think you can expect fighters. GPD never confirms fighters but EA hasnt released a patch that didnt include new fighters (except for the Khabib patch).

I'm going to post them in another thread for visibility as one of the game changers suggested them, and it would be unfair to not have them visible to everyone else prior to the LEC.

They are in the patch notes as well I think.

Just give me a second to type it up.

It is both. However, people are usually on their third strike before they get a big enough hit stun, and that is only with damage. However, doing it over and over keeps them in a loop if they don't block right away. Depends on the stats and stamina as well, and the reach. There are also perks that help. Some guys you only need to do it once when they are low enough on stamina to put them into a health event for an easy finish.

Everyone used leg kicks last game because it gave you a free strike. That is what people look for this game. The combos are completely unrealistic, but they are deadly. That is my main concern. It feels way too arcade.
