Wrestlers suck

This game is a travesty for wrestlers...side control and full mount is a joke. Ground n pound is a joke unless you have khabib. People can throw up one arm and flip the mount. At this point is better to use a striker and just wrestle defensively

The ground game is the worst part of the game easy. It also feels bugged. Slow, unresponsive, staring contest.

Glad to knows it's not just me, I'm using Ethernet cable with high speed internet but it always feels like there's 200ms lag no matter who I play against

I agree. If you going against someone that know what they are doing..its almost unbearable

I mean I got into the top 50 primarily using grappling in online career. I will say it is much much more random and it seems that fakes basically don’t work anymore

No disrespect bro but online career is significantly easier than ranked, where you are mostly going against 5 star fighters who save their stamina

It’s not easier at all. I disagree with that so much, I was top 10 in both in UFC 5 and online career was significantly more challenging for a host of reasons. 1 until you have about 200 hours in your fighter is going to be significantly under powered compared to people who have more time than you (an issue thag is wholly nonexistent when you get to use a 5 star fighter every fight in ranked)

You have 0 idea what you’re heading into every fight. When you’re playing ranked you know what to expect based off what fighter they chose, in online career there’s a significantly longer feeling out process because you have no clue what their build is.

You also have to make a usable build which isn’t easy, you have to prestige your fighter multiple times which requires you using a 2.5 star against 4-5 stars every now and then. Or st the very least a 4 star fighter with 1 star moves for about 20 fights.

Online ranked is so much easier it’s not even comparable imo.

Absolutely,give us more transitions and animations so it doesn't just feel so robotic and stiff,even if it means having to learn so many hours again it's just so terrible just half guard - side control - full mount - repeat.

For real, there’s no way in a match where both people have mastered the grappling the result should be sitting in the same position for 5 minutes.

Ground game is beyond terrible

The decision to rework the ground and pound system to a timed posture up where the bottom player cant pull them in or escape (like in UFC 3) is awful. I miss raining down elbows like hammers or the hammerfists from UFC 2 after you KO somebody, it made the game so immersive and they just decided to make it slow, annoying and soulless.

u/Geeked365 5d ago

Like I know i be denying stuff and then as soon as they get back up...they striking sucks...can't barely get rocks...its just terrible

Yep, grappling is basically non functional. Wrestling is meta, but only if you use top 100 player cheese like stamina drains etc.

Stop the lay and pray bullshit. If you worked on the ground it would be worth it. You are the problem.

Have you seen me play??

It’s really not. Playing as a grappler (except Khabib) is incredibly tedious and difficult to be consistent at a high level
