Ground and Pound in UFC 3 is worthless.

[Bigg Cee]

The ground and pound has been nerfed so much in this game it’s not even funny. Full mount is pretty much worthless unless you do a sub, and half guard is also a waste. Also Stacked guard is useless and pretty much every ground and pound position. It’s so damn hard to break an opponents block now.

All ppl have to do is block shots and transition once your opponent drains his stamina or throws 1 punch every few mins while the ref never stands you up.

Kinda bull**** if you ask me, but whatever.

How many fights actually end in GNP as quick as they still do in this game WITHOUT damage already being dealt? GNP is generally a grind. The game still has GNP ending fights too quickly, but it's better than UFC 2.

Re: Ground and Pound in UFC 3 is worthless.

Also mixed in is the fighter on the bottom of Full mount being able to Arm Trap, Hip Bump and eat shots over and over without the ref stopping the fight or breaking the block.

You can literally stay a whole round in full mount doing nothing but throwing 1 punch every few mins while i hold the block button just waiting for him to drain stamina or they get bored and try a sub.

Oh i forgot they also nerfed freaking takedowns so much, and the clinch is so damn easy to deny now since inputs sometimes don’t respond while your opponent throws crazy combos.

It happens in real life if opponent isn't defending properly.

Sure it happens, not often anymore, but it happens. But in most cases, it's a TKO after taking over dozens of shots and most of those times, it's simply because the guy can't get out of position (excluding the instances were they were hurt by standing strikes before going to the ground). There really aren't a lot of pure GNP finishes in the UFC. It's a grind, it's ugly and it is usually time consuming to actually end the fight from nothing but GNP. It doesn't need to be buffed at all.

I want it faster for the most part, but it doesn't need less hits to end a fight.

That video is not even that bad. If your opponent is a noob and tries to transition and not wait then yes it’s easy, but smart players know you can’t do any real damage and just wait or hip bump or arm trap (which is still so easy to get)

Xbox has a lot of grapplers and this is were i’m seeinn the issue pop up. I’ve faced a few good xbox players that i had in full mount and they had me in full mount and it was a long boring waiting game with no ref stand ups or a ref stopping the fight because you been holding your block for pretty much the whole round.

Ughhhhh... Ground and Pound in UFC 2 was pretty damn good and i remember everyone agreeing on it when that game was out.

UFC 3 Ground and Pound sucks!!!!

In real life if a fighter doesn't block there face they are gonna get destroyed. I think body shots on the ground is too strong.

It shows shots doing hardly any damage.

My issue is how powerful the block is on the ground and the fact refs don’t even stand you up in this game is annoying. The video did show how weak strikes are from the top, but you got the finish. Against a skilled opponent there will be no finishes EVER!!!

I wish the same strategy for breaking block worked on the ground as it did on the feet. I haven't got that tragedy to work on the ground anyways.

Re: Ground and Pound in UFC 3 is worthless.

I have no idea why people are defending the GnP in its' current state. How jacked in the brain do you have to be?

Dude who made the topic said the video wasn't even that bad!?!?! What!? He hit him with like 10 flush elbows and STILL only got a TKO. Boy didn't even go out cold.

I rocked him first elbow. The next group of elbows were against my opponents block, you can see the meter. The animation just doesn't reflect that he's blocking. He looked unconscious for most of the elbows lol.

It was bad, but i was just saying he still got the finish. Against skilled players that won’t ever happen. If i get them down in the first round and out wrestle them and take full mount i probably won’t even get a finish or even do any damage.

C'mon guys. You had to see this coming. They spent the whole dev cycle on the ground game in 2, so it was way too easy to get to the ground. They spent the whole dev cycle this time on stand up, and now it's impossible to get to the ground, and even if you do, you're never finishing anyone with even a semblance of what they're doing. They want you to play using what they worked on. It wouldn't make me as mad if it was easier to actually get a TD...but it's freaking impossible unless you can catch a kick.
