ok I tired the AI on pro and they are much better but there is still times the AI waste all there stamina with a lil bit of pressure fighting but overall the AI is way better. Atleast you can see the AI this time try to stop using stamina when they get very low. It's an improvement.

If that's true that's horrible logic on EA's part.

How many times have we seen the flying armbar actually work in the UFC? Not very many, yet this game has 2 different types of flying armbars, and they're only 2-stage submissions.

If the standing guillotine isn't in the game because of how rarely it's actually finished fights in the UFC then how can EA justify flying subs being only 2-stage submissions? I thought they knew enough to eventually patch the 2-stage flying subs but they seem pretty clueless when it comes to that.

I'm slappin the S**t outta ppl lol, cool patch

# 66 Bigg Cee @ 06/27/16 02:42 PM

Is it me or do the AI fighters on pro come foward a lot more now?

Also I just lost a fight on pro, so it's a lot better, I just wish that the few times they do gas themself out they can just fix and we should have decent AI.

Relax, there hasn't been a successful non choke submission finish in the UFC this year.

No I just put the moves on my CAF, u can fin the slap under, L1 -> square, the heel hook is the last takedown, dunno why it wouldn't be listed as a sub tho

lolwut?

I'm quite relaxed. I just can't make sense of that logic. A flying armbar is one of the more difficult submissions to pull off, yet it's only a 2-stage sub in this game. That's a little crazy, no?

Fortunately they're fairly easy to defend, but why only 2-stages? It just doesn't make any sense.

I tired the AI on pro in several times. The AI's stamina management is much better than before but It's still issue and not enough. The AI is still very aggressive even if they get some strikes. It's so bad. and the AI of some fighters are still very unrealistic. For example, JDS is still throwing way more kicks than punches. He threw punches over 90% in real life. He is a boxer. but He used way more kicks as knee, high kick, back spin kick than jab and straight when the fought with me. It's terrible. Jose Aldo seems like grappler in this game because he attempt way more takedowns than in real life. It's so bad thing.

# 72 SMOKEZERO @ 06/27/16 03:07 PM

Good editions to the roster, AI updates and move addition.

Bummed the fighters moved to new weight classes haven't been added.

Highest ranked fighters I personally would like to see added
Francisco Trinaldo (LW)
Sean Strickland (WW)
Thiago Santos (MW)

# 73 LeonVegaSuarez @ 06/27/16 03:17 PM

AI seems a lot better and finally Larkin.

Who has the Imanari Roll tho? And how to do it?

# 74 johnmangala @ 06/27/16 03:20 PM

Sweet I was hoping for an imanari roll/grapevine dive.

Great patch, guess Lesnar will be added right before UFC200.

I hope they add clinch punch health events now and things will be closer and closer to sim.

You mean submissive clinch health events?

GPD said, there will be no patch before UFC200. I think, we can't see Lesnar in EA UFC2 because of under contract.

?

I mean health events (like elbows and knees) from punches [both uppercuts and hooks] in clinch- from both sub and dom positions so the clinch is active and more sim like.

e: also adding powerful punches to the ends of whips instead of just knees for guys like Hendo etc.

I'm 110% for this!

Since Single Collar Punches were nerfed (no longer stop transitions) --- they really ought to get a slight damage buff, including chance to stun/knock someone down

*I'm not saying that just a couple uppercuts should auto-stun you* --- but if you are already hurt and take 2 or 3 uppercuts/elbows from Hendo, for example, yea you should be HURT lol

Or --- if you are 100% fresh with no damage --- if you take like 7 or 8 uppercuts/elbows in single collar without blocking them/transitioning...you should ALSO be HURT !!

Right now...you can pretty much eat 500 of them without too much damage. I know I'm exaggerating. But not by that much

# 79 Chief Siwash @ 06/27/16 03:49 PM

I really hope they nerf the calf kick in the next patch, you shouldn't be able to spam 6 in a row at full speed then back up and regain all ur stamina, it's extremely annoying.

# 80 Bigg Cee @ 06/27/16 03:51 PM

I think this game is gunna stay this way till after LEC then the next patch will drop.
