I have friends that buy Madden and play with penalties off and never punt. I have friends that play 2k who turn all fouls off and increase the dunk sliders so that there are more dunks. My point is you can buy a UFC game for the graphics, the roster and the sport and not want it to be a true simulation of the sport or care if its faithful to how the sport really is.

Ok I get what you're saying and you're right not everyone enjoys MMA in its totality like a hardcore player would and hardcore payers will always purchase the next EA UFC game due to it being the only MMA game on the market for now. In that case for EA to make the game a sim wouldn’t be a smart business move.

That does leave a pretty big space for another, smaller company, to make a simulation fighting game for the hardcore fans though (which I think will happen sooner or later) because there is a demand for it and an enterprising individual or small company will eventually take notice of that and do something even if EA and the likes doesn’t.

How does Big Nog not have a submissive sprawl sitout sweep!?! I wasn't aware it was in the game....

He practically invented the sitout sweep (facepalm)

They won't have the license, and the market for an unlicensed hardcore sim MMA game is very, very small.

So their budget will be equally as small, so it won't have anywhere near the feature set of EA UFC, EA MMA or Undisputed, no matter how well intentioned they are.

The best you could hope for is a cult classic niche MMA sim game, which may be all you're after, but it likely wouldn't be a blip on EA's radar.

I don't say this to sound cocky. Believe me I would LOVE to have competition. But it's not the reality of the world right now.

I wonder what the new momentum transitions are... Anyone have any guesses of what they could be?

I dont know for sure but I think you can expect fighters. GPD never confirms fighters but EA hasnt released a patch that didnt include new fighters (except for the Khabib patch).

I'm going to post them in another thread for visibility as one of the game changers suggested them, and it would be unfair to not have them visible to everyone else prior to the LEC.

They are in the patch notes as well I think.

Just give me a second to type it up.

It is both. However, people are usually on their third strike before they get a big enough hit stun, and that is only with damage. However, doing it over and over keeps them in a loop if they don't block right away. Depends on the stats and stamina as well, and the reach. There are also perks that help. Some guys you only need to do it once when they are low enough on stamina to put them into a health event for an easy finish.

Everyone used leg kicks last game because it gave you a free strike. That is what people look for this game. The combos are completely unrealistic, but they are deadly. That is my main concern. It feels way too arcade.
