A lot of this stuff is good I think. However, it's difficult to say without testing it out. One thing I don't like is them making the clinch useless... this is what happens when everyone bitches about it without learning how to use it tho. It certainly needed to be balanced more but I think they went too far. They've nerfed it in 3 different ways. Maybe it will play nicely once I get used to it tho.

Having said that about the clinch... one of the glaring problems with it is that blocking takedowns is much harder than blocking someone shooting for a single or double leg. I went through a phase of questioning whether I was even pressing the right buttons. I don't know if it was intentional or not but they definitely seem harder to deny than takedowns outside the clinch.

The fact that they added the stockton slap makes me so happy tho lol.

I like it. I like it a lot. AI definitely needs to be a bit tougher.

I'm more interested in when we'll get some more fighters DLC. But this is cool.

# 8 Siorai56 @ 04/11/16 06:10 PM

any word on additional fighters? Legends etc?

# 9 SwedishTouch76 @ 04/11/16 07:33 PM

Over 200 fighters and you guys are already worried about DLC? I think giving slow GA to the guy in bottom sprawl is a mistake. If I have Khabib or some high lvl grappler I'll gladly accept that position and reverse you. Feels like a copout. I understand why they did it as you can hold guys there but we shall see how it plays out...

I dont know who is or if there is going to be DLC but it may be a little too early for Cyborg. She just joined the UFC less than 2 weeks ago and it takes some time to create new characters (especially someone with as many tats as she has).

Maybe we will be surprised though.

It was a no brainer change because there is no way for you to gain grapple advantage from sprawl because you cant strike from that position. The really good grapplers could hold you there all day. Also its unrealistic. Fighters dont hold people in sprawl easily in real life.

Regarding DLC, I want them to continue to add fighters. There are still top fighters and top 15 fighters missing from the game.

I don't know if better AI is needed... if anything the AI is too good at times! I lost to Joe Freaking Rogan while using Ben Henderson! WTF?! I play on normal difficulty!

Better AI is definitely needed. Once you get half way decent with the game, the game is very easy to beat because the AI is brain dead in certain areas and becomes way too predictable.

# 17 pdandy @ 04/11/16 10:58 PM

I like the change list so far. Very eager to see those AI changes though. Can't wait to start a new career playthrough.

I'm especially pleased about these. Bring it on!

Just curious aholbert who are the fighters you really want them to add. I want them to add more as well, just want to know your top wanted adds?

Cyborg, Cote, Tumenov, Larkin, Schvecenko

I'm really not interested in any classic fighters because the ones I want, the UFC wont put in their game.
