EA Sports UFC 2 Community Impressions

Someone help me understand fakes because I'm clearly missing something. When I flick the stick in one direction and then go the other way, there's always a pause before I start transitioning in the other direction. It doesn't matter if it's denied or not. What am I doing wrong?

He starts walking forward holding high block, parrying his head as soon as he gets in range, then clinch spams. I deny the first 50 attempts but the 51st gets through. He denies all my transitions before the 10% mark, doesn't matter if I fake or not. He takes me down, gets me into crucifix which I can't deny because I have no stamina. Again he denies all my transitions, doesn't matter if I fake or not, a minute later the fight is over. I am really getting burned out on this game

Just matched up with a guy who I have played before who has like 151-7 record. I gave him one his losses because I blocked his clinch spam enough to get off a sick combo that laid him out. So I know what's coming. Surprisingly enough, the first few minutes of the fight we stand and are having a pretty nice little scrap. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Cut to about 2:30 left in the round, he starts walking backwards holding high block, oh boy..I know whats next. I block the first clinch attempt, and the second..but at the 2:00 minute mark his third gets through..(I'm not going to sit there with my fingers on clinch denial the whole damn fight, if he wants a ranked win this bad he can have it.) So I see him going for Thai, ( of course.)...I thought I hit the block but I guess I wasn't there in time..And here we go. He goes for the knee, I block pretty easily..He denies my transition instantly. I mean INSTANTLY. Like my circle doesn't even get to 5 percent and it's done. I block another knee, try to transition the other way, INSTANT block. Are the ques this easy to read and I just suck? WTF is this. Basically what you're saying is, he can hold me in the most powerful position in the game, throw the most powerful strike in the game, get blocked, and then instantly deny anything I try to do? HUH?

Eventually my stamina goes to zero and I just give up. Elbow, done. Who cares. If this is what people paid 60 bucks to do, so be it, they can have it. I mean, can you please show me on MMA fight where a guy held a perfect MT clinch in the middle of the cage, threw multiple knees that got blocked, and was able to just drag their opponent around the cage by the back of their head for 2 minutes like it ain't no thing. C'mon EA. This stuff ain't cool.

Nothing. It's like that for me too.

Me 3.

When I attempt to fake, I feel like I only slightly move the stick one direction, but before I can get the new direction to register, my opponent has usually already blocked the fake I started with.

I'd like some more info on perfect Swoop too. Feels like that's a huge part of the game I'm missing out on, but no one seems to talk about it!

What's up with the live event competition

[Hokievape]

personally and ive spoke to someone at ea with our suggestions and enough support around our suggestions we can get things done basically first of all im sorry im not punctuating and speaking proper but oh well anyway what i would like to see is in the game the created fighter can fight out of all our hometowns basically stealing lines from ea's ncaa and madden we can be from our real hometowns and fight out of them of course this patch would have to have new speaking parts added to the game but anyway it can be done with our community support and we can fight from our hometowns online and on the regular game and career so basically im asking for your guys support as i cant make a new post i opted to reply to this one and say reply with your suggestions and what youd like to see in the game and also if you stand with wanting to fight and be born in your hometown in the game ufc 2 or the series as im sure this will become a big series with the new overhaul on the fighting engine and all thank you for your time -HokieVape

I'm only able to get fakes to work offline. Every time I try online they get blocked. Kind of silly that a fake transition can be blocked. It's a fake and should not be blockable, at least online where latency ruins the ground game half of the time.

why do so many fighters in this game have a super man punch off the cage???
