I'm in the exact same boat. I never deny any clinch transitions. My game would be a lot stronger if I can figure it out.

Can't wait for this patch. Hopefully we see some drastic stamina repercussions for the spinners online.

^ I'm in the same boat. My guy in UT is getting up there as far as stand-up ratings so I try and keep it on the feet and separated as much possible. I rely on the block a strike method as well.

No, I completely understand different values on different aspects of the fight. Here's how the fight played out, literally, for 5 rounds:

I'd hit him a handful of times on the feet, he'd take me down. I'd reverse his transition to mount and end up on top. I'd ground and pound him while denying his transitions. Mostly not postured up, but I'd get 2-3 shots postured. He'd attempt 4-5 submissions in a row, NOT ONE getting past the first stage. I'd then hit him a handful of times. I rocked him 6 times in the fight (no knockdowns) You should not be awarded for attempting 5 submissions in a row and never even sniffing the "2nd stage". I also took him down 1 less time than he did me (so the takedowns weren't the difference) Each round went this way, it wasn't like I landed all my shots in 1 round. In fact, the one judge scored it 50-45 me, and the other two went 48-47 him. I have been on both sides of controversial decisions. This one was just plan ridiculous. He literally had 0 offense the entire time, except 2 second armbar attempts from the bottom.

Thats how i feel when i lose by split decision when im sure that i dominate my opponent.

I'd like to see a video. With that said, One (or two or three) bad decisions dont equal bad judging AI. Like I said before, I'm satisfied with 90% plus of the decisions that I see. Just chalk up the others as the randomness of judging.

You guys want realism....you got it.

Oh it feels so good to take out guys trying to bs their way to wins. Just faced an Anderson for the belt a second ago with Mousasi. Dude wouldn't engage for anything. I chased him all around the cage while he hit me with spins to the body. Halfway through the fight I just started shooting for takedowns and timing a lot of them on his spins. His ground game sucked and I did damage every time. In the 5th I got the gnp finish. I was kind of hype over here lol.

I had 25 takedown attempts at the end of the fight. That's definitely gotta be some kind of record for me. I love having the tools to deal with these guys in this game.

LOL I know what you mean. I had one two nights ago, the guy took Nick Diaz and I had Kelvin Gastelum. This guy did the most ridiculous striking spam. It was like he had one of those old turbo controllers. His pattern was always consistent....left straight head....right straight head....left straight body....right straight body....left straight head....right straight head....repeat. It was just this nonstop light strike where you spent every engagement blocking up down up down up down. I'd get in parries often and land a strike off the parry but he would then start right back over.

I'm not sure if Diaz has some ability which prevents him from losing stamina with this "spam" but his stamina would drain so slow with this combination he could do it from one side of the ring to the other striking nonstop.

Finally I got on the mic and started just talking ****. Out of no where in the second he gets on the mic and starts talking back about how I "suck". I just laughed it off then shot for the take down. I beat him up on the ground a little but there of this weird little delay in the network which was causing perfect R2 denies (on my end) to not register until to late.

Finally in the third I just started taking him down over and over again but I couldn't keep him down because it was damn near impossible to deny with any consistency with the lag.

I figured I lost the fight easy just from a strikes landed point of view. Judges ruling comes out.......29-28 Diaz........29-28 Gastelum........

100% THIS; I tweet the EAUFC handle weekly for this...KO mode would be a sick online mode.

I was finally able to not lose 5 in a row in division 5. Learning to parry the body and be patient has worked wonders for my stand up. I no longer fear Mcgregor because of my homie D.Choi the Korean Super boy.

I still find myself getting worked by Jon Jones. Im Able to beat him every now and then, but my clinch game is hot garbage. Muay Thai clinch should not be the most dominant position in the game. I have no idea how to fix it, but I lost to a MT clinch bum to end a 5 fight champion defense run. Maybe allowing it to be blocked by simply high block would help.

I just crossed into division 6. Hopefully it's not like my jumps to 4 and 5 where I win once every 5 or 6 fights.

Also I've noticed a lot of guys will be content staying in side control just simply blocking transitions and punching you until your stamina is gone then proceeding to crucifix and finishing there.

If you have a buddy you can play on shareplay, but I agree KO mode is one of the best parts of the game

Will this game receive monthly updates like UFC 1? Should we expect an April update? Thanks!

After playing a against a few guys with Tyson, and several with Jones, I think a good mix of stamina and the power of a strike is needed. Tyson seems rather easy to withstand, but Jones and his reach is tough. But, if you get Jones to about half his stamina, you have a chance. The problem is your strikes do nothing when they should. You can spend so much time defending that your own stamina drops, making it tough to take advantage of a gassed fighter. And even with such low stamina, guys can easily defend a takedown. The logic is odd.

I'd say increase stamina drop and vulnerability to heavy strikers, weaken the strike they are throwing when they are fatigued and increase overall strike damage. The challenge will be though to not tweak everything evenly because then guys that use Jones and just throw kicks will get an early KO. There should be more reward for a guy that is more patient, giving him the opportunity to capitalize on an undisciplined fighter.

If you get easily frustrated with online play then you need to stay far from ultimate team lol. The worst of the worst is in there is far as tactics are concerned. Plus your fighter is pretty trash, so you'll take some weak losses sometimes. You have to have to just not take that mode too seriously.

Katt just can't catch a break these days.
