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

It would be nice also if the ref stand up/Break timer was faster in the clinch more so when ppl get denied over and over and it becomes a hugging match.

The clinch is already slow if you play it right. You have to watch your stamina or they will turn it on you and finish you. People should be able to clinch to gain stamina back. That is a real tactic. Granted this should only be certain clinch entries. Which should actually become the default. (Over/under). Maybe double under as well.

The ref shouldn't break if you keep getting denied. The fighter is still working.

Uppercuts should be one of the most damaging strikes in the clinch. I never use it though because it is only slightly better than a single button hook. Did the blocking in the clinch get fixed? You can use body punches and the opponent has to block them like they were blocking knees.

Some people want to adapt but can't.

Some people have slower reaction times they can't react quick enough for denials and for someone that mixes up shots in the clinch.

So they might block your first elbow and don't react quick enough for the knee and then they are out.

I had a friend who literally stopped playing because he was just getting ruined in the clinch nearly all the time, he loves MMA but is terrible at games. He deserves to enjoy his experience aswell just the same as everyone else.

I AGREE 100% ON THIS!

The high competition and stakes of the LEC is the best thing to happen in terms of weeding out exploits and balancing the game. I'd guess they're trying to push this patch for the 199 LEC.

I agree, but within reason. Can he not handle himself on the ground? The clinch is actually easier than the ground on both sides. The only time it becomes dangerous is when you have low stamina. You essentially are giving the guys who are good at the game, but aren't the best in the clinch the tools to become better because they don't have to worry about a position. That would be like nerfing the ground game to death. You don't nerf because people can't adjust. This is a game. People need to learn all the aspects. Just because one gives them trouble because they weren't used to it because it was basically non-existent in the first game, doesn't mean you make it easier to escape. Might as well make mount take one blocked strike to transition because that is a much more dangerous spot.

Probs when the patch is released it will be up, patch should be out when UFC 199 is in place.

The feedback was based on playing people in much higher divisions though right? So you will definitely get some feedback that is biased against something so many don't understand, or want to. I got clinched a lot too, and my biggest issue with the clinch was the lag that wouldn't let you transition.

A lot of the same feedback came from top 10 players in LEC as well though.

When top players and mid players say the same thing, it's probably something you should look at.

Dave, did GPD confirm Larkin? I dont see it anywhere.

I agree, but what was the feedback from the top 10 players? Did it involve latency/lag? You can still be a top 10 fighter and not know how to work in the clinch. The fact that the fakes aren't used there as a way around being denied is why it feels different to them.

I knew you guys were going to further nerf the clinch. There is just too much negative feedback from it not to. That comes from not having a viable clinch the first game. I beat a top 10 guy from last game in the clinch. What does that say? He didn't learn the clinch. He isn't even ranked this game because he isn't good at the clinch. Clinch against the cage can be OP. That is because of the default entry and ability to strike right away.

I don't like the changes, but understand why you guys had to make them.

Fix the size of Teixeira, he is 6'2 in real life and 6'0 in the game!
When we deny the thai clinch, we push the opponent so far, it should be like the single clinch.

That bug is just in the tale of the tape. The actual character is the right height.

I aplaud GPD

What is up with the second qualifying part of the live competition event?

# 40 Fearhead24 @ 05/30/16 05:56 PM

@GAMEPLAYDEVUFC How Do you guys plan to compensate what you screwed up on that lightweight packs except avoiding answers on Twitter? That's the only thing I and a lot of others care atm.
