05:28 PM - August 12, 2016 by aholbert32

Geoff Harrower, A.K.A. GameplayDevUFC, has been posting quite a few details on the upcoming EA Sports UFC 2 patch on his Twitter page. While no date for the patch has been revealed, he has posted quite a few nuggets. Check out some of them below and let us know what you think!

Added the ability to block when in any level of hit reaction to the legs or body. This should fix the "magic combo" issues.
Tuned AI transition denial success rate to be more dependent on grapple advantage
Increased stand up arm health damage taken when holding High Block by 20%
Reduced stand up arm health recovery when holding High Block by 20%
Fixed exploit that allowed fighters to hold their opponent in side saddle with little opportunity for escape
Added Grapple Advantage Meter which allows users to better understand grappling mechanics and timing
Improved AI takedown defense
Further AI stamina management tuning
Taunt with @BlessedMMA in the last 20 seconds of the round and have your opponent taunt back to end a round "The Holloway"

Oh, and your backwards movement speed is cut in half. Basically you are agreeing to stand and bang, and the game enforces that agreement.

Haha that is awesome great addition well done

Haha thats pretty cool of him i wonder if he ever comes on for a few games would be cool to play against some real ufc fighters for a laugh

Max is a cool dude though hard not to like the guy he always puts on an exciting fight

He streams UFC 2 somewhat regularly I think.

Hopefully he plays a bunch to try out the new taunt once the patch drops.

.... So i can't do this with the me going against th AI and it has to be pvp.... that's lame. Sky net please add it so that in offline, in the last 20 secs, when Max taunts to brawl the cpu also taunts.... PLEASE

Well as GPD stated Grappling itself is disabled so..

And if we're talking about realism, they would have made it the last 10 seconds of the last round instead of 20 ( like irl), so I don't think the goal of adding this was for realism... but hey what do I know..

Just a quick question to the DEVS who roam this page.

Are PatchSpoilers the only things that are patched in each patch you guys release? Or are there other minor fixes/tweaks that don't make it to the changelog?

There are things in the patch notes that don't get mentioned in patch spoilers.

There's work done that doesn't get mentioned in either patch notes or spoilers.

For example, bug fixes that don't address known exploits or imbalances don't usually get mentioned.

Incredibly cool!

Max's moveset and power are pretty rough though, I feel like i'm gonna get myself KOd doing this. lol

GameplayDev
I still play career mode and was wondering if there is anyway to patch in roster fighters retaining their actual stances when you play as them in career as well as their taunts. Picking Diaz in a career without his taunts kinda sucks.

Also, can you guys please fix the performance bonus criteria in career so it is possible to obtain.

Last, please patch in all the fighters like GSP and Bas Rutten as opponents in career mode. Would love to fight against these guys.

Max Holloway is playing UFC 2 right now on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/blessedmma

# 212 Dave_S @ 08/16/16 12:39 AM

GSP, Tyson,, Lee, Rogan ect need removed from ranked. It's insulting

That's cool.

It's funny to watch mma guys stream or just famous ppl stream. Makes me feel normal. Also it makes them look like just another regular Joe.

I liked this just so I was unable to unlike it.

# 215 Bigg Cee @ 08/16/16 01:04 AM

lol watching Max Holloway get mad at UFC 2 is funny. I think the way he feels about strikes and playing the guy who Jose Aldo is hilarious. It sounds like he hates when you lean back. Poor Guy. That's why I would hate to play famous ppl online. To much pressure playing ppl on twitch.

# 216 The Senator @ 08/16/16 01:14 AM

Love the Holloway taunt initiation. Hope you guys get a chance to make it work for fighting the CPU without breaking anything. Little details like this and the Stockton Slap make the game come alive, and keep the fighters from feeling like they're only the sum of a body scan and a set of numbers. I truly appreciate the work you guys put into the game after the release. It was the same for UFC1, post release support for this series is one of the best things I can recommend to others.

Still holding my breath for Marquardt's backfist, though...

# 217 Dave_S @ 08/16/16 01:33 AM

Is there a gif for this online? I think gpd blocked my tweets because I was bombarding him about fighters in there active weight classes.

I suspected you didn't block me. This was my attempt at a subtle reminder a few fighters aren't in active weight classes. Love the spoilers by the way.

Maybe it would be better if I tweeted proper dude about fighters in inactive weight classes if that's not your job.

It works be nice if in the patch they changed name to McGregor Presents UFC 2 to justify his ridiculous, over the top, whoever assigned then had a man crush ratings.
