Fixed bug so you can now deny a clinch attempt during the follow through of your strike
Added new logic to control when different strike types can interrupt a takedown
Fixed bug that made takedowns in some clinch positions too easy, and others too hard
Added new grapple momentum scenarios to a few ground and clinch transitions
Gave fighters who have the sitout sweep in sprawl the option to also perform the half guard escape
Tuned the submissive fighter's escape from back mount to half guard to be a bit more difficult
Changed the inputs for submission reversals on the ground to be L2+R2 to fix exploits and enforce pre-emptive denial penalty
Punish the defender in a submission for defending a chain before it appears by taking away some defensive progress
Pushing in the wrong direction to deny submission chain blocks the defending fighter from pushing in the correct direction
AI will now use submission reversals
Some fighter AI's tuned to use submissions and takedowns more or less as appropriate to their real life counterparts

This post will get updated as more details are revealed.

GPD I don't wanna make a new thread so I figure I post this in this patch section, maybe for the next patch you can add all of the legends with reebok gear and legend gear to pick from.

Is this even possible for a future update???

To be honest I would rather the art team work on new fighters or the new fight kits coming in UFC 200 than reebok kits for legend fighters. Especially given that its not easy to add new kits to fighters.

ya I had a feeling it would take to long, if it took Nate Diaz that long imagine all the legend fighters, plus GPD said something while back about character models and the shorts clipping if there not re made.

Owell mabye they can take a look at it if it's not to time consuming.

Why because you can't stop a transition in the clinch or that you relied on this to get Thai position, they could have made blocking a punch in SC gives you grapple advantage or auto break and it would have been more of a problem

If they released the reebok 2.0 kits, the prototype colors image floating around on the Internet for UFC 2, that would be awesome! Honestly my number one wish at this point.

It's not really the hit stuns that are the problem. The issue is EA UFC's hit reactions. They are too over the top and exaggerated...especially off the combo multiplier. That's what makes it feel all tekken like. Guys all stumbling accross the octagon from a little leg kick off a combo and all that...that kind of stuff needs to be saved for when a fighter is rocked or hurt to that specific body part. If EA UFC had more nice short hit stuns, it would feel alot better. Then those bigger hit reactions could happen when your hurt more to a certain area or rocked or whatever.

For me, the auto-switch on the stance is the biggest gameplay issue at this point. However, if I could choose 1 thing for the next patch it would be to implement the new colors for kits. Extremely boring with the black and white. Still can't believe the let Reebok take over. I really liked the diversity of the gear before. At least they are finally bringing more variety.

God i dont understand why EA doesnt work on the explosiveness and distance covered by strikes they are way too slow. and those reactions are absolutely ridiculousness when one gets stunned

Quick question about single collar will using knee/kicks ( really don't know what that is) stop a transition? Sorry if this has already been answered

So basically the clinch will be nerfed to the point of being just a glamour feature, only standing combos and ground work is allowed to be actually effective. Good thing i spent those points on making my UT guy a monster in the clinch... Its so easy to defend as it is now, guess it was too much to ask that people learn that aspect of the game, easier to just remove it

Now they behave the same as a regular denial, but with the submission modifier to make it a submission reversal.

You keep the same input (L2+RS) for TD and Submission reversals in Stand up and Clinch.
And only for Ground change input (L+R2+RS) for Submission reversals - to prevent pre-emptive input.

Stand up TD/Submission reversals:
- are the same as Grapple block - both u can hold pre-eptively and it dpoes not drain stamina
OK, agree.

But

For CLINCH TD/Submission reversals:
- Grapple block can NOT be holded pre-eptively and it drains stamina
- TD/SUbmission reversal are different from Grapple block and CAN be holded pre-eptively and dont drain stamina
= disbalance!
NOT OK, disagree

How to fix:
always where we have Grapple HUD (Clinch and Ground, ecept only Stand up) change input for reversals to L2+R2+RS and all other penalties of standard Grapple block (blank GB, Wrong GB - penatlies).
I.e. ALWAYS Reversals must to have the same penalties and features as Grapple block(GB). GB is different ONLY between Stand up and Clinch/Ground. So reversals input must to be different ONLY between Standup and Clinch/Ground! This must to be the rule of balance.

You can still do a lot of work in the clinch, just wo'nt be able to drop people with one or two MT knees. The clinch entries are going to stay the same (and they are about perfect IMO) --- it's just that if you fail them, you get punished a bit more. Which is fair IMO.

Also, takedowns from Over Under and Double Under should be easier to score, now.

I do agree, though, clinch needs a bit of love in a couple areas in particular:

* Double Under needs a bigger denial window; it's too hard to keep someone in that position, even though it should be the most controlling position in the game

* Punches/elbows to the head (in single collar in particular) should do more damage; and have the potential for health events. If a guy's head is already pretty red...and you land 3 or 4 straight uppercuts or elbows in single collar without them blocking them or transitioning....that should drop them....

It reads that SC will be incredibly tough to keep now, since they'll just be able to escape when you try to strike, then back to comboland. MT should be tough to keep, it already is. Agree with both of your points, especially if SC is nerfed those uppercuts should do some serious damage. Thought the damage was behind making MT easier to escape, SC escape through strikes is just people crying that they cant methodically combo you to death from there

well knees in SC can still stop transitions (not sure if you knew this)

plus of course you can still use your denials --- if your CAF has 90 clinch grappling vs someone with 70 clinch grappling, you'll def. be able to deny his clinch big time; drain tons of stamina; and gain lots of GA

The Like Glue perk might be a bit more useful now!
