@NWO Swedish Midget that’s not shit to Corey Anderson denying every possible transition and getting on top of you in a position where he can hit but you can’t 💀
The ground and pound is ridiculous. You can be winning the whole fight one sided and once you get taken down, just get beat up with the stupid ground and pound. I prefer UFC 3
I love how sometimes D.C's commentary will be like " ouuu this is a good spot to rain down some elbows!" And then there is just no elbows programmed into the ground striking...
Same bro, it's ridiculous you can't get out of it until their momentum is down and all the different buttons to defend the different punched on the ground are so hard to predict
I dont get how in these vids you get like a 0.1 second window to react and manage to get the sways off, because in my circumstance wether or not i react in time in terms of controller input, i still have the input lag to contend with, so i actually have to premeditate every strike coming my way. The same applies to my offense, have to chuck the combo in at least 1 whole second before i intend for it to start. Am I the only one?
this is genuinely a really good guide. With that being said this system is really wonky and needs tuned asap. Even when you are blocking you have low head damage and it ends the fight thru the guard.
For Xbox its left bumper and right analog stick left side to block your left side as your on your back. Push to the right while holding left bumper to block the hooks coming from the right. I had so many ppl grounding me and realizing I didn't block hooks and just spamming them lol
I was convinced that you just put a soundbyte in for Nicks impersonation at first! Lol and the throat clearing on the Nate impression. Too good man too good. I hope these tips work because I'm ranked like 72 on the game but I'm still in division 1 lol. Ive got like 300 wins and thousand losses or more lol
You guys notice the delay with the strikes when it comes to the ground and pound though? Idk if it's just me, but It's really difficult to react normally to strikes because it takes half a second for you to stiff arm the hook when your opponent is just wailing.
Every time I'm on the bottom I do not see the blue are stuck to the corner of my screen that would help me out it only shows the Matt get up ground and pound
How do you post your hand there to block the kneee or belly hooks. I’ve tried everything and I still don’t know how to do it I always get finished it that oosition
Being a lifelong grappler, and playing this game you realize why grappling (like this) does not translate from real life to game, while striking does. There is no "press r2" when you're on the bottom. Grappling on the ground has many levels of nuance. You don't just do what you choose. You can get a submission perfectly ( head and arm choke) and you don't the submission because the other person slides 1/2 of an inch. Grappling in pro wrestling games works because in pro wrestling the two individuals are cooperating. While its not ideal, I always felt there should be a mode where getting or not getting the submission should be primarily based on the in game fighters stats, a behind the scenes role of the dice, and maybe the current health status of both fighters.
All fighting has many levels of nuance. Striking in real life is nothing like this game either, they can only do what they can, it sucks that they aren't fight experts and just game designers but they've done a good job. It would be impossible to have it all life like front he striking to the grappling, there's just too much going on
In real life, you can move your head and punch from multiple angles. In real life, if you throw a punch to the body - an uppercut won’t kill you every time. In real life, you can sway and punch… However, I get your point. At least we have a fight game!
I'm currently playing career on hard and would like to get good enough to be able to compete online. I don't have anyone to play this game with so it's a little difficult to go from the cpu to multiplayer against another person, but there's some good pointers in this video.
How do you survive being face down, ass up after getting rocked, and just getting your head smashed with your opponent at your back? It seems like you just turtle up facing the ground and hope your block and head holds up till your opponent gasses.
Also a great plan for spam mount gnp is to let them burn out, then hit all the transitions to side, then half then full guard (not the quick ones that go from side to full) that way it taxes the persons stamina on top even more. If you can do them quickly their stamina will still be at the bottom and yours doesn't take much from transitioning when they are gassed. Then you can hit the Sub from the full guard and it works pretty well.
How do you defend or transition out when your opponent has the back side and is hitting you? It seems that none of my transitions or buttons are working on legacy move whenever I end up in this position?
I'm brand new to this game and yeah after seeing a few of your videos I'm now subbed to your channel so thanks for all the tips and great quality videos ✌
@@RickyJSportslol I just got knocked out after a back and forth stand and bang haha trying to get those side steps down is hard but you make it look easy dude 😅
I’ve never felt so in raged by ground game in a UFC game they somehow made it even worse for the person on the ground to where it’s unplayable , I’m utterly shocked how little people say this
Stand up on ufc is great is the ground game thats shit! And on ranked people just spam the ground and pound and i lose 95 percent of the time on the ground cos nothing work's
Ricky please long time fan and just bought first UFC game UFC 4. Only ever played the UFC 1 demo before this. Please do more of these and teach us how the heck you’re supposed to not get submitted every 2 seconds
striking tips? i keep getting pieced up and caught in exchanges.. ive tried head movement but i dont really know when i should sway and lunge i try to read patterns but people mix it up sometimes, im just tired of getting caught when we exchange
I've had the same, use front kicks alot, just plant and throw a teep to the face, interrupts alot of people. If they throw alot of straights just do a small sway and counter straight, or just duck under it to dodge hooks as well. Don't be afraid to spam it since there is so little stamina costs in the game
really spend time trying to understand distance & shot selection by playing the ai & you’ll reap the benefits in ranked i promise you. also, use feints & try not to cycle through combos predictably. know when to plant & throw and when to give ground & use your other tools. final tip: DO NOT throw kicks in boxing range. trust me, this is something that sets the high level players apart from the rest
J Las I need to start understanding distance honestly. But I don’t really get it regardless and it doesn’t help when people online just move forward especially at the lower divisions. Now you also said don’t throw kicks in boxing range but when I want to create space and use a front kick because someone’s just on me 247 throwing shot after shot on my block what should I do ?
How do you change the grappling because mine just says ground and pound submission and get up how do you change it to match ufc 3?? If you get what I mean
How do you get the information for the transitioning to different positions on the ground, on mine there is none like in previous games like half guard or as shown on his game.
Wow, thank you for posting this! Had the game a year, and never knew about using LB to block hooks on the ground. I only play offline, but just on hard difficulty, I have swept Khabib and Usman from the bottom automatically by blocking their punches. Personally, I have also found getting out of side control easier by moving to the Sprawl position and then using the getup. I guess it depends on your fighter's skill, but they rarely block me moving to sprawl, and the getup is faster than a normal getup from your back.
Bro just started playing the game. facing Maia and he had 5.49 control. had to KO to win. Pressing the buttons it tells me to and then it just cancels before it fills up. I was so angry
Is it just me or we cant block blows to the body this year ...when they are in full guard ..... ma oponent was sending punches at ma stomach and i had no way to defend that... also ur video doesnt even mention body blows... whats up with that
Hell Yeah Bro…Needed This And That Impersonating Was Dead On!!!
Loved It
U rule man thx
They need to fix the stamina in this game. Dudes throw non stop hitting air and they got more stamina than me
Facts bro.. Mans throwing head kicks and hitting air I beating him up with jabs and still lose stamina way faster
@Сани 2В nah I figured it out.. Just kick him in the body for him to lose stamina.
@Swedish Midget MMA doesn't help when you play with a created fighter though. lots of people do that
Oml. That stamina sh** boof. Cause my stamina higher than computer on hard and they STILL gott the greater advantages
@NWO Swedish Midget that’s not shit to Corey Anderson denying every possible transition and getting on top of you in a position where he can hit but you can’t 💀
The ground and pound is ridiculous. You can be winning the whole fight one sided and once you get taken down, just get beat up with the stupid ground and pound.
I prefer UFC 3
I have always said it, they need to slow down the ground and pound and reduce the damage imo
Prefer ufc 2 tbh lol
Ufc 2 had the best striking system
Why's it stupid it's realistic if some one punches your head in on the ground you're gonna get knocked out simple
@@vegasmaori6621 they are so boring and wanna hump all day
This GnP system is so ridiculous . Can't explain my hatred for it.
Same
Broken asf I know
I don’t like it either
It is by far the worst system that no one asked for at all.
@@tobio.9324 they have to change this
The fact that the only way to stop someone from posturing up, you literally have to read their mind or pre deny
Is that why I always fuck up during half guard? I always thought it was my connection
Omar Albalushi Same I thought it was weird I couldn’t deny
I'll block a transition with perfection and it'll just tell me to fuck off and deal with it. The incompetence of EA is remarkable
I love how sometimes D.C's commentary will be like " ouuu this is a good spot to rain down some elbows!" And then there is just no elbows programmed into the ground striking...
elbows are in side control and side saddle top and bottom control
Gav Owlz how d fuck can elbow? It’s like a different button than ufc3? Man i was so disappointed when I couldn’t elbow in full guard
Boom roasted
I had no idea you could even post, and I’ve played ea access for 4 hours, played the story for 2, and ranked for 2 and haven’t seen anyone do that yet
Same bro I’ve been grinding since early access and I thought you could only block the hooks
All my losses online came from gnp so far including losing my title! Haha thanks for the vid, very helpful
Same bro, it's ridiculous you can't get out of it until their momentum is down and all the different buttons to defend the different punched on the ground are so hard to predict
Great DIAZ impressions!!!!!!!!! lololol
Thx big daddy!!@
So good😂
🤣🤣🤣
I’m getting this game for this reason peace out bitches Nate voice 👌🏾
That you know i just want to say this « Uggh » killed me 😂
Oh my god thank you, I was getting cheesed by Ground and pound spamming wrestlers. You're a life saver🙏
I dont get how in these vids you get like a 0.1 second window to react and manage to get the sways off, because in my circumstance wether or not i react in time in terms of controller input, i still have the input lag to contend with, so i actually have to premeditate every strike coming my way. The same applies to my offense, have to chuck the combo in at least 1 whole second before i intend for it to start. Am I the only one?
Yeah I'm usually way too early because I have a fast reaction time
You are not the only one. The first few days I had this game I could move my head to avoid ground strikes, not anymore. Am I the only one?
3:38 For Ground pound Arm Blockage This is the most helpfuo too me Suscribed!
this is genuinely a really good guide. With that being said this system is really wonky and needs tuned asap. Even when you are blocking you have low head damage and it ends the fight thru the guard.

You explain everything so well, slowly and breaking down every part. Very much appreciated.
Ricky J you are my saviour for that L1 block on ground man
Just got beat by ground and pound on online ranked, came here and learned about holding L1 and the right stick either direction much appreciated fam
You’re the best bro🙏🏽🙏🏽 I didn’t know how to stop those hooks
Anytime man!!
games so shite
I have a question I was using jones online and I kept trying to clinch with r1 square but he kept doing overhands ?
U probably were standing southpaw
Try triangle if you’re in SP stance

Nice one didn’t realise you could put your arm up to block hooks that’s so helpful thanks
Exactly what I came to find! 😂 Ricky J puttin us on on the the good ol stiff arm!
Every time I'm on the bottom I do not see the blue are stuck to the corner of my screen that would help me out it only shows the Matt get up ground and pound

Yooo those Impersonations were on point and hilarious 😂
This defintely didn’t need to take 11 minutes
Instant click on this, I can defend takedowns but i'm clueless about the g&p, thanks a bunch for this!!
Thanks man this video was kind of hard to find but you saved me
How do I get rid of the simple submit, ground and pound to something like half guard option or full guard like ufc 3? Please help
Go on controls and switch ground game to legacy controls
For a guy that can sometimes get to the game through the week do to working alot. I appreciate you! Thanks !
I appreciate the comment man. Yeah people dont know that I spend 12 hours a day working a real job lol
Quick question, how do I running quick punch the opponent when I get up off of him?
Why when I was playing last night all my Transitions were on the left stick ???
Change the grapple assist to legacy
Choki thanks did it!!!!
Omgitsmatt3 MDM good to hear :)
Choki how do you do that ?

Sorry i dident speak english . Ho can i move head when opponent hit me from dominant position ? R or L botton ? Play 4. Th nks

Great video man!!! Yeah definitely a change and something to get use to coming from previous EA UFC games,but I like it!!!
Wonder if you take more damage if you move into a hook Straight,Hook
How do you change your transition settings to see side control half guard and etc
Maybe if this game was actually responsive and doesn't miss inputs it would be fun to play.I needs at least 2 years of updates to be playable.
A quick Stockton slap😂😭

I find it easiest to just slip the straights and block the hooks. Easier to read just one strike then two, till I get used to it
