The new switch stance controls are the final nail in the coffin for me
I saw a post that said in the new game even when you switch stances you can use the same button for your jab etc
It's a small thing but it solidifies the direction they're going in, to appeal to the most casual player of the game and away from any form of simulation.
Damaging a leg and making someone switch stance is a fun realistic mechanic because it makes them play with controls they aren't comfortable with, similar to real life when fighters have to fight out of their natural stance. It's even fun having to play with your uncomfortable stance because the control changes.
Removing that means there is no real advantage to leg kicks unless your trying to actually win via leg kick and just dumbs down the game even more.
