COMBO BREEEEEAKER! Lol

[12_Adriyel_12]

This game is WAY too reliant on combo, combo, combo, break the block, free knockdown, rocked, TKO. SMH

You literally CAN NOT counter fight and stick and move for NOTHING on this game. I have the fighter with higher footwork rating and still can't escape the FORWARD PRESSURE of a slower opponent??? Come on EA. Lol

This game feels like Street Fighter featuring MMA.

I have to use constant push kicks, lunges, head movement, clinch attacks, and takedowns to beat someone who has no idea how to play and just walks forward throwing combos.

Which is pretty much what you'd have to do in real life if a fighter was enough of a psychopath to mindlessly march forward.

Or you'd have to just pummel their guard. Go watch Eddie Alvarez vs Justin Gaethje. That's exactly what Alvarez did because Gaethje refused to stop moving forward, and Gaethje got knocked out.

What do you think you should be able to do that you can't do?

Faster footwork on side to side movement

Block needs a buff, cardio needs a HUGE nerf and head movement/counter fighting as it stands is completely useless. It is hard enough to get a counter off a slipped strike because it is very unresponsive, and when you do it does pretty much no damage and your opponent walks through it.
Not to mention you get taxed more stamina for slipping your opponenets 8 punch combo than they get for throwing it.

Once these things get fixed and people actually get punished accordingly for their pressure the game imo will be in a much better place, at least standing anyway.

Just watch some youtubers fight. It's back and forth, throw your combo, then hold block, throw your combo, then hold block. Turn based combo system is *** lmao! If you're lucky a strike causes a random rock. But hey, you need 5 rocks to ko your opponent. So let's start all over again.

Man this game looks so dumb it's mind blowing. Did the devs really ever play their own game? Can someone please tell EA to show us how we are supposed to play the game? I mean on video? Dev vs. Dev maybe?

100% Correct.

The thing is, my opponent throws a combo, I block or evade most of it, but one punch gets through the broken block and my counter punch is considered weaker because their 3rd or 4th hook in a row lands when the first 2 were blocked and now I get rocked.

Or the next scenario, they come forward with 1-2's and one Jab hits me and I'm stuck and can't move my head or get out of the way. It's like having quick reflexes on the sticks don't matter on defense.

In real life, natural instinct tells you to MOVE or flinch which can make your opponent miss or make the strike glance and not land clean.

But on UFC 4, there's no glancing strikes like Fight Night Champion, all strikes on UFC 4 are WAY too accurate. Literally like laser targeting, even if you moved your head.

Plus head movement is way too slow and unresponsive.

As soon as you lose any stamina it should be that anything you do will be slower and less powerful than when you have full stamina. They also need to only have one stamina bar not a short term and long term stamina bars.
