avoiding takedowns in career mode

[SouthernWarrior]

what is the solution? I'm constantly defending them, have 4.5 stars and still it constantly happens.are there sliders in this game?

this is so unrealistic for every fighter other than maybe Khabib. I dont know what to do.

And what's the problem? With "defending them", do you mean you put the correct input but get taken down? Or is the problem the AI attempting them despite you defending them succesfully?


I'm having loads of problems myself with defending them, despite having 5*. It's one of the first things I upgrade and unless I predeny, I constantly get taken down. The response time is ridiculously low. Unless the AI attempts them on an empty stamina bar, I can't get the counters to trigger either. Makes sense, in a way, but it could be a 'little' easier imo.

I spend 4 minutes on the ground after a takedown despite 4.5 * rating

You can have your way against any computer difficulty on the ground. Just wait for them to transition first (they will eventually) and deny it. Then getup.

4.5* general? That doesnt matter. Just tkd defense to stop it (but that stat hardly seems to matter) and bottom skill.

If I'm not pre-denying, im getting taken down 99% of the time. I can't seem to do any of those cool takedown denial/reversal animations I've seen online either. I think I've sprawled twice since launch and it was accidental each time.

once I get taken down I have tremendous difficult getting up (and just expend and lose energy) for the rest of the round/4 minutes.. so what skill should I use to improve that? Is that bottom skill?

I'm being completely honest, the skill you need to improve on is your ability to deny transitions. Stop trying to just push your way through or getup against the computer. Wait and deny their transition first. This will take their stamina and give you grapple advantage. Then move.
