I’m a solid player (div 18), but this ain’t it ya’ll. Been playing this series for years. This is the corniest it’s ever been. It’s just pressure boxing. It’s not an MMA game. There’s no out fighting. I should be able to hold my opponent in the clinch for most of the round if I’m skilled enough there. I should be able to take McGregor down if I use a takedown while he’s mid kick. Stamina should matter. And most use the same 5 characters (Topuria, McGregor, Prates, Periera, O’Malley) because they’re boring, unoriginal jackasses. And if you’re offended by that, that’s probably because you’re one of those boring jackasses that button mash and never done actually something fun like sinking an opponent via a submission reversal.

What are you all liking so far with the new strike variations? I’m loving long hooks. It’s like Roy Jones Jr boxing. So much easier to have a midrange boxing style now.

I’m not loving heavy. They feel great when they land but it’s really hard to go tit for tat with your opponent if they have faster strikes naturally.

What do ya’ll think?
