The switch Straight works wonders for me, but personally I like UFC Undisputed 3's switch Straight animations better then EA UFC 2's.
Combos will be awesome in EA UFC 3. I've had times I wanted to end my combo with a leg kick but it didn't register it as one because the game thought I was still walking forward or backwards which is a head kick with EA UFC 2's Controls.
EA UFC 3 I imagine I can throw my combos more accurately with the new controls. Note this is no confirmation of control scheme just I strongly feel L2 is a kick modifer button now.

Square, Triangle + Circle, L2 + Circle (Jab, Right Uppercut, Rear Leg Kick)
Square, Square, L1+ Circle( Jab, Jab, Overhand Right)
Square, Right Stick Left, Circle ( Jab, Weave left, Right Hook)
Square, Right Stick Forward, Square, Triangle ( Jab, Body Jab, Jab, Straight)
Right Stick Left, Circle, Right Stick Right, X
Right Stick Forward, Triangle + Circle ( Weave Left, Right Hook, Weave Right, Left Hook, Duck Down, Right Uppercut).
I could go on all day with combos I Invision with the new controls.
And the crazy thing about it all the examples I used can be done stationary or while moving, and regardless of the direction you move the strike won't change, jab is jab going forward, backwards or sideways. Which makes striking way different than EA UFC 1, 2 UFC Undisputed, & EA MMA Classic Controls.
This is the art of striking on the move. Fight Night Champion strikes work in the same way.
