What parts of YOUR game do you need to work on?

[kahjah]

So I've been playing the game since launch, really digging it and went online for the first time to play randoms and had an ok time. Ran into mostly spammers and like most people got really frustrated after taking my 3rd straight loss because random dude kept kicking me in the belly.

The last fight was the one that really got me though because I couldn't get out of submissions and had to tap leaving me with controller and arm in boomerang throwing position.

So this thread is less about being frustrated and more about helping myself and others try to share techniques for specific kinds of things they are seeing online. The only way you can learn is if you understand what mistakes you are making right?

I am hoping to be more of submission expert, I actually really like the cat and mouse mechanics EA put into the game but find myself having trouble getting into subs and out of subs. I think I can play smarter against spammers but here is a start. If anyone has any strats or advice, reply away.

My style in these types of games has always been based around boxing since I come from the Fight Night series I prefer to keep things standing and throw punches and kicks and use my distance. So I guess my weakness is everything that doesn't involve boxing haha. Ground game is garbage for me so that's what I need to work on the most.

I definitely need to do a better job at preserving my stamina. I also suck at blocking takedowns (is it just R2 and down?)

I need to figure out how to avoid these damn sweeps. I can't do much work on the ground because I'm always getting reversed.

Escaping submissions. Against a real sub specialist, I find it hard to get out.

My clinch is probably the worst. Also my stand-up sucks ***. These brown belt games are hard...

I wanna go back to like blue belt so I can smash people who don't know how to escape mount or prevent submissions.

im with you. I can block transitions np. Sweeps I guess I dont read the animation correctly until its too late

The side control sweep I cant read. I can read the guard sweeps.
