Really can't stand the ground game anymore. It's a transition/sweep fest because you have to try and guess which direction to block on the ground. Which is impossible in certain positions (like transitions from half guard). Also sometimes the camera swivels around and gets stuck in certain places so you can't see things like the fighter on the bottom or how a guy is trying to transition.

I love the game so far, sure theres a few things that are corny like the handful of takedown animations but the stand up is spot on and the graphics are as next gen as any game out there.

The transition spam gets old quick. Unless you block and even then they can do another while your are lucky to land a single punch

I think if you block one then there should be a longer period before they can try another. If not that at least make it when there energy is low while yours is high then there transition should fail regardless if you block it(not always just depending on stats and energy will determine how often a unblocked one fails)

Ya theres no penalty to spamming transitions or takedown attempts. Guys can literally shoot nonstop with nothing to lose. Just get pushed away. Mindblowing they didn't put the intercept knee in. Stops that real quick. I had a guy using Belfort attempt 90 takedowns. No real penalty or stamina loss for doing so.
Im a bit shocked so many things were overlooked considering the time they had. Reversals should be THQ style. Flick rs. With a cool down period in between.

I don't have the game but what is the best difficulty level to play against the AI? The reason I ask is I am mainly an offline player with sports games. Thanks.

I've been experimenting with things to counter TD attempts. The front kick to the body usually does it. Or if you can dash back and they miss completely, you can get a free strike as your opponent is getting up. Uppercuts are useless. Flying knees land like 25% of the time, but if it doesn't connect you still avoid the TD by just jumping completely over the guy. I'm sitting at like 90% takedown defense online now, but it's not about preventing them. It's more about trying to find ways to punish the TD's even though there isn't really a way built into the game from what I've seen so far. I'm still shocked that you can't sprawl any of these. That's a glaring omission if I've ever seen one.
