Just fought a guy named theserpentden666 (okay, lol) and I knocked him out in the 4th. Got another hate message calling me an exploiter and telling me that he'll see me in March lol. This guy must've taunted 300 times in the match. **** was ridiculous. I get more venom from random people in UFC games than any other. **** is so funny to me, man.

I love it. It makes me love the ground game even more. I can usually tell when I'm gonna run into one of these guys. They usually pick a top 5 fighter. They usually try to body spam or spam modified strikes.

I just sit back wait and take them down. Then the message comes. "That was some **** ****". "**** u *****". Those messages are like medals to me.

I've never been that mad because of a video game.

Does anyone know how to do the blocking at the perfect moment to parry, i swear it's either not in the beta or i'm doing it wrong.

Slipping is just dodging with the right stick i believe but the block/quick counter seems really hard to pull off.

you press a face button while holding the block button just as they throw their punch/kick

I've watched lots of videos on the beta and the ground and pound punches really bother me. The guy on top doesn't move his shoulders to generate the power in his punches. It just looks like he's moving his hand back and forwards softly. The guy on the bottom whilst being hit doesn't look or feel as though the punches are strong at all. If you watch Anthony "Rumble" Johnson do it.......

Has anyone fed this back to the dev team?

There is a way to do modifiers on the ground, just like on the feet. By either pressing a direction on the left stick, or holding L1/LB to throw elbows or hammerfists. So the footage you were watching they might not have been doing those things, just hitting the face buttons themselves.

I'll have to look at that more. I though GNP looked alright when you can get some off. Holding the button down will make them load up more as opposed just just tapping it.

Your position matters. If the guy is postured up and he is pressing the modified strike button, his punches will be much stronger. If he is postured down, they will be much less powerful.

I actually like this and it's kinda realistic.

# 310 Momofirefox @ 02/01/16 05:11 PM

Thanks for the quick responses!

It's great to know there are modifiers to make you load up on GNP shots.

It must have been the people playing the game. But in all the ones I saw, they were using these 'normal' punches and still getting the fight stopped. It just looked really odd because the punches looked far too weak to have done any damage for a stoppage.

But the timing is very forgiving IMO. I think this needs to be tuned -> more difficult. Right now, I see a guy throw 3-4 punches combos to the head and I just hold block and hold the top face button and eventually I'll get a parry off of it. Was the same in EA UFC 1.

Is Benson Henderson will be in UFC 2 after he went to Bellator?

this seems way harder than the last one, i just can't pull it off for some reason

# 314 Pappy Knuckles @ 02/01/16 05:58 PM

Parrying seems the same to me. Just had to get used to using R2 to block the body instead of the old layout.

# 315 SwedishTouch76 @ 02/01/16 06:35 PM

I assume the UT Matchmaking isn't exact at this point in time? I created a CAF and immediately jumped online. All lvl one moves. All basic strikes. The guy who bear me was actually terrible but one head kick put me in danger. I would light him up standing but couldn't hurt him at all. Once he figures this out he just walked forward.

Hopefully in the full game they match you up with other low lvl fighters to begin.

# 316 linny @ 02/01/16 06:50 PM

I can finally block 2 out of 5 transitions. I don't like the ground game at all.

Why not make it more approachable?

how long do you think it would take the average person to be competent on the ground?

not just know how to get up.

will they have ko mode online? cause i bet thats what most will play

Yeah there is no matchmaking i've noticed in the beta; it's virtually impossible after it being out for a few days to compete in these matches in Ultimate Team anymore.

Yea, I thought it was just me. I'm severely outmatched now and wondering how in the world these guys have their fighters beefed up like they do. On top of that, they're all 6'1 with 75" reach!!

I'm guessing I haven't played long enough to get the packs that raise the attributes. Had to leave it alone because it was getting ridiculous how swiftly I was getting knocked out.

Strictly single player against the A.I. at this point trying to build coins up, but I doubt I'll be able to play enough to make a significant change before the beta ends. Its cool, I got something for you knuckleheads once the full version is released!!!!

Well 1st off you need to be unemployed or not working. I saw a guy on the UT leaderboards with over 300 fights already. Then like you said make your CAF max Height combined with a skinny build which will have him resemble Dhalsam from.Street Fighter
Once the full version is out some guys will just drop a bunch of money to buy a monster. It's cool I'm still having fun with it.
