While I feel like the stamina could be better, it is much improved. If you make a guy miss, they will see significant drop through time. I can't complain about that. What needs to be addressed is how slow a non-stunned fighter is compared to a stunned fighter. Fight Night once had this and they addressed it, but it feels so awkward trying to close in on a guy when he is stunned.

Anyone else feel like they mistakenly put the wrong legs on Mirko? They look weirdly thin/small compared to his upper body.

Ground striking is strange. Do we always have to deny the first transition attempt to be able to strike quickly. I'm getting a ton of people down and in trouble but I can very rarely land any strikes.

I'm trying to build up the grapple advantage by striking but it seems like it rarely lets you get the first one in.

Huh, just had a majority decision loss. 30-26, 28-28, 29-27.

Are draws in after all?

I'm sure they are, just very rare.

Must have had Cecil Peoples.

I'm pretty sure I heard that draws are not in the game.

Easy way to test. Play two players for 3 rounds. Don't touch any buttons and see what happens.

No draws. Majority decisions were in last game too.

Loving the game so far. I only play online and it's been fun re-learning to play while also learning the new techniques as well. My favorite guys so far have been the Karate guys(Hall, Thompson, Northcutt) and the wrestling brawlers(Hendricks and Mendes).

I'm having the toughest time parrying strikes though.

Both of these are against online opponents

Mendes vs Bruce Lee

I'm having the exact opposite issue. When I get on top of someone in the mount, I can end the fight rather quickly just by throwing strikes with some ground and pound action.

It's the only part of the game I find overly easy

It's probably me being useless. I have finished a few fights in the mount but it's not consistent.

Having said that I've just downloaded the new patch and it seems a tad better but it could be a placebo.

Also downloading the patch as we speak. Hopefully it didn't get any easier lol. What difficulty level do you play on?

Oh man that would be amazing if it were to happen.

# 53 Hiro1 @ 03/16/16 03:40 PM

One of my biggest complaints is not having a sprint button. It would be really useful when an opponent is tired or hurt. Would also be cool if you could get countered running into a punch without caution.

I was playing on hard, then I ventured online. 19-15 so far for me but there are some infuriating things despite them fixing others. I will do a more detailed post later with my findings.

Something like Scott Smith vs Pete Sell in video game form would be amazing.

CM Punk should not be able to reverse Damian Maia on the mat.

He's reversed John Cena's STF, so I can't see why not.

# 59 jb12780 @ 03/16/16 07:06 PM

Idk how I feel about this game. Only high level BJJ guys should be able to sweep from half guard bottom. In this game, it seems like everyone can do it.

Yeah I said it before. The CPU ability to do reverses and block things is unreal. They are a tad bit successful in that department. I also don't like how a stunned CPU can move faster then you even though you aren't stunned. And I really hate the fact they made leg kicks so weak now. Seems like now leg kicks are purely cosmetic.

Even with a red damaged leg, the CPU still moves at the same speed, still can perform take downs and block take downs at the same speed. Hell they can still reverse you on the ground with a red leg.
