I think we can all agree this patch was a good one. A lot of work clearly was involved with it. But I'd be lying if I said it breathed a ton of new life into the game for me personally. And I know exactly why it doesn't.
The finishes of fights just don't do anything for me. To me the best part about EA UFC 2 was the KO system. It felt like a reward. In UFC 3, it feels like its just there. No ragdoll, no finish the fight, still has a weird camera fixation on the KOed fighter. It just does not feel satisfying, and thats a damn shame because so many other things are done better than EA UFC 2.
Honestly at this point if the game just reached the same quality in this department as EA UFC 2, I'd be happy. Originally I had hoped for even better things than UFC 2, but have since realized this aspect of the game is not a priority to most people. I find myself patch notes after patch notes frantically looking to see something mention adjustments to KOs or adding some sort of finish the fight after KOs into the game. Another month down it would seem.
So I ask the general community, are YOU satisfied with the current KO system? If not, feel free to discuss your specific issues with it, whether that be physics, camera fix, finish the fight, or something else.
Bonus gif (I just had this happen to me, Manawa AI knocked me down and finished me, but the animation got stuck in a pretty cool way. Almost looked like a new TKO position):
I wish more random stuff like this ^ happened more often. Would spice up the finishes a lot and make things feel more dynamic.
Edit: Sorry about typo in Poll title, can't edit it apparently.
