Guys who spam primarily jab/straight combos to the body as fast as they can all fight really make me laugh.

The physics in the game are ridiculous lol

So is this game ever going to get fixed ever or what? If you go against an AI opponent with supposedly good ground game you get tossed around like bag of flour because you have 0 realistic ways to defend and then they just transition around you continuously without stamina loss like you're ****ing paralyzed ******. As Dominick Cruz I front kicked Urijah Faber in the face like 15 and roundhoused his head 5 times in single round and still he keeps marching in and tossing me on my back because nothing happens when I try to defend. The matches look ridiculous now.
I've done the real thing for 15 years and gotten beaten up by people better then me. This a lot harder then that.
I don't care about other sports titles, don't care about Battlefields or anything else EA has to offer so it seems this will be my last EA game.

Ya I don't get why this is still in the game, it's been there since the beta.

There's also so many times I have kicked my oppenent in the crouch when we start spamming punches and kicks.

I even got KOed by a miss kick takedown were my head got a flash rock off balls of steel when the leg kick missed my face and I hit his balls. lol

Is anyone else having issues winning decisions(playing mostly event mode). No matter how much I control a fight I lose every decision and it's been like this since the second patch. I will admit that I struggle stopping takedowns, but I even in fights where I'm taken down a ton I'm losing decisions.

Sub attempts give you INSANE points on the card.

If you DOMINATE a round, but your opponent gets a sub to gate 2-3, chances are you lost that round.

# 411 Pappy Knuckles @ 06/09/16 08:23 AM

I can't win fights for anything lately. Guys are taking me down and having their way with me. I need Fight Night back.

# 412 NYG_Meth @ 06/09/16 05:10 PM

Is it me, or has the AI gotten significantly more aggressive in recent patches? It also feels like their parry effectiveness has gotten BETTER.

# 413 bmlimo @ 06/16/16 09:38 PM

i think i gonna retire this game, let people who like OP ground and combo multiplier have fun

# 414 bigO12677 @ 06/19/16 02:33 AM

Growing frustrated, too many fighters not in the weight class they are actively fighting in or fought in but have guys in weight classes they never fought. It's just so inconsistent.

Ummmmm why is there no random button in select fighter offline???

Tone down ground and pound, it's over powering not fun.

No flash knockdowns? Who decided that? Fire him/her please

Can we get a simulation and arcade setting?

Refs not jumping in and stopping fights is a huge fail! SMH if it's in the game, it's in the game???

MMA is great because it's unpredictable, it's can be over quick or go the distance, fast pace or slow, brawl or chess match, you never know, that should be the future goal

It's not the worst, but it does have its flaws. I still enjoy the game and play it everyday, sure the game can be frustrating at times but at the end of the day it's a video game. Just have fun or don't play it.

People need to understand NO video game is going to be realistic, any sports game out now has flaws and there is never going to be a true 100% sim sports game.

Trust me I complains a lot but it does not mean I don't support this franchise because I do and i have just come to the understanding with myself that if I don't like it then I will just put it down and walk away but I still love it and im waiting for more and more. Also the game has gotten a lot better and is pretty balanced now. (expect for a few hit stuns)

First time in the UFC forum in a month or more (when the big banning happened), so anyway its been that long or longer since I've played UFC 2. This is by far the earliest I've retired a UFC title and here is why.

Stand up game I've grown to hate. Parries are terrible and need to be removed, I've grown to hate them so much I won't buy another UFC or Fight Night which has them.

Extremely poor representation of stamina in my opinion, every fighter is hoped up on bath salts and has the stamina to go until 2017. Lets all do 45 spinning jumping round house kicks because there is no penalty......oh wait supposedly there is a penalty. Oh well do them anyway, the penalty is so small the pay off of laser accuracy + high damage out weight the so called "penalty".

Blocking is over powered, this is one area I felt Fight Night Champions did a good job representing it. Punches could slip through cracks or finding openings. UFC 2 the blocking is perfect and that isn't a proper representation.

Flash knockouts not being in is laughable bad. If stamina, punch accuracy, and blocking were tuned correctly then flash knockouts would fit in perfectly. In the current system I can see why they don't exist, of course it feels to random when you land 35 flying superman punches and the guy keeps on coming forward BUT that small left hook suddenly flash knockouts the opponent....I'd be pissed too lol.

Punch accuracy is far to accurate. This was a huge complaint of mine when I went down for Champions and Brizzo & squad made some changes while we were up there which reduced punch accuracy drastically. It was fantastic and really pumped me up for the release, sadly it was re-tuned back to the higher punch accuracy when it did release. This is pretty much the same situation as UFC 2, all strikes are laser accurate and that leads into far bigger problems like the dreaded "spamming". Reduce accuracy which opens up counters, which stops spamming.

Clinch game is a mess, its far from intuitive like the ground game. Which way are they transitioning? Which way do I deny? Ohhh well I just spam crap until I'm either in the dreaded stand up game again OR better yet I'm finally on the best part of the game......THE GROUND.

Summary: I love the ground game, Clinch is mehhhhhhh, Stand up is in very bad shape. Stand up game is so arcady it has pushed me away from the game completely.

Been playing every mma game there is and a massive combat sports fan since the early 80.s love gaming and fighting ....the THQ games were hot but now you guys took the prize....still some things I know you guys are ...and need to improve but over all I love the freaking game ....by far the best...but few little grips ...anyway EA GREAT JOB ....BUT PLEASE DONT TAKE THE MMA FAN BASE FOR GRANTED WE ARE A NEEDY BUNCH OF NAGGING unpleasant know it alls ....however thumbs up great game

# 419 Pappy Knuckles @ 07/06/16 04:17 PM

So I ran into this guy in a championship fight. Let's just say it didn't go well. Got on top of me with Rory and I couldn't do ****. That record is crazy.

I hear you. The game is a mess. The stamina in this game is so wonky. I enjoy playing competitively online, but my goodness it's a mess.

Unfortunately, offline is shallow and gives little replay value.
