This is very unrealistic.

I have no issues at all with defending takedowns on or offline.

What's your key in stuffing them? I'm terrible.

I don't have trouble with takedowns either. I always anticipate them. So my finger is usually always on the block button (not pressing, but resting on it). When they shoot, I attempt to block. It's really not too hard, since the game gives you enough time to respond. Find a guy with great takedown defense and it'll help you defend easier.

Word of advice, learn how to stuff takedowns before going online. I would always fight guys who used Bruce Lee and other great strikers, so I'd always test their ground game to see if they could handle it. That's usually when they got exposed, so I'd just take them down and submit or ground and pound, instead of trying to win a striking match with them.

I was pleasantly surprised when I updated my PS4's system and saw this downloading as well. Lombard is a great addition(Although I would have liked if he could fight at Middleweight too) plus Diego(not sure how he didnt make the cut earlier) and Chiesa are great updates.

I agree with most of you in saying EA should stick to releasing sports games every 2 years and constantly updating them. I really hope they continue using the same fighter models as well so for EA UFC 2 they dont have to redo the models and can add guys who aren't in the game now. Imagine them adding 30 new fighters for the next one? I would be in heaven as this game as come a LONG, LONG way from the demo in just a matter of months and plays great.

There are still a few quibbles here and there but I wouldn't be surprised if they got taken care of. I cannot remember a game released by EA that has gotten this much better since launch via updates, they really have done a great job.

Can we stop with the two year thing? The NFL, NBA, MLB and NHL would never allow EA or any game developer to regularly skip years. Those leagues get revenue from each game sold so you are asking those leagues to take a financial hit every other year.

The UFC situation is different because instead of 30-32 owners its the Fertitas and Dana. Also if this game sold anything like a Fifa or NFL, I promise you EA would go to every year. THQ tried it and realized that there isnt enough roster turnover and consumer demand to justify a new game every year.

I think people are just fed up with spending $70 a year on something that hardly gets an upgrade. Personally speaking I only play NHL out of the EA games and I know every year hardly anything gets changed and it seems like more stuff gets broken.

Last year was the terrible puck bounce when you dumped the puck which basically ruined the gameplay. This year they basically gutted the game(they did improve the gameplay alot) although it is their first NHL game on PS4/Xbone so I will gave them a pass. 2013 I believe they added fighting and that was basically it.

I mean hell, the NHL series still suffers from a massive lack of penalites, which is a big part of the game in real life and it has been this way for YEARS and it is still not fixed. They always seem to add one feature, update the rosters and slap a $70 tag on it year after year. I only buy the NHL series on sale when I can find a good deal on it. I am a huge NHL fan but have come to realize that buying their NHL series every other year is the way to go.

If they can just tighten up the striking and make it a tiny bit heavier - not much - then we will be really getting somewhere. Far too many strikes can still land without too much consequence.

I want to be scared of getting hit in the head. Great support though, seriously. This game was a shell of what it could and should have been, but it is now so much better it is ridiculous. Good work EA

I LOVE the Diego Sanchez addition. Now, just like others have said, we need Dennis Bermudez and Yoel Romero!
