Operation Sports Forums - View Single Post - The main reason Finish the Fight has always looked bad in the series

The fighter that got KOed is nice enough to become conscious again and position himself for a canned animation. This is the centerpiece of all that is wrong with the KOs in the series.

This doesn't just make Finish the Fight look bad, it makes KO physics look bad. Its been stated by devs that the KOed fighters are part ragdoll part actively trying to land in a position that is convenient for Finish the Fight animations. This leads to very similar looking KOs and prevents the KO physics from reaching its full potential.

So this current system makes Finish the Fight look weird due to unconscious fighters snapping into pre-made animations, and it messes with the actual KO physics.

Bottom line is, we need a new Finish the Fight system that only involves the still conscious fighter having animations, while the KOed fighter stays KOed and reacts purely from physics, no animation.

I don't know if this is possible via updates down the road or if we have to wait until EA UFC 5 (if it gets made) but regardless the current system needs to go. It has been in the series for too long and simply does not look or feel good.
