Is there something more than just getting in the right positions and executing? I try and get their stamina down but that doesn't seem to help much... I am enjoying this game but I will say that their difficulty levels suck hardcore. Medium is sooooo easy but Hard is way way harder than medium....IMO they need a way to let people ramp up in difficulty, not get frustrated because nothing that worked on the prior level works here.... Is there some trick? Just doesn't seem to work, and now my sub guy is useless because he can't stand up to save his life (gets rocked after like 3 punches)...Very frustrating to say the least...I would think a 100 sub guy should be able to submit a 41 sub guy, you know?

Choke should be your only problem with higher difficulties. Whats happening with limb submissions? If you tap the button slowly you will tap them within 30 seconds or so max. They wont get into a submission battle like a person can. Are you gassing yourself out or are they just escaping?

Quick advice, dont tap real fast to start the battle. Tap just enough to keep the battle going, the cpu will gas pretty quickly. Thats when you tap faster to lock in but dont button mash to lock in either.

Yeah, I'll mess around with it. Thanks. I've been using my career fighter in play now mode, so that may be my issue...

I don't seem to be gassing, I keep the battle going and eventually it ends with me still having stamina.

Very worth it. If you have the time, read through all the pages of this thread. There are some issues, but nothing like UFC and the gameplay is very good.

I'm doing fine with limb ones on hard...chokes aren't really possible anymore, but I can get a win with the limbs, just have to go slow to start like you say...I think I was tapping too much to start...It seems easier in career vs. when I was trying in play now, I'll have to try it again on play now later against Diaz (faced him in career and it was a easy sub)

Chokes are still crazy, it's like it's impossible on higher levels for sure.

Clueless on chokes and considering i don't have a rumble controller...yea it sucks.
I do wish there were more moves to be learned.

[delspf]

Half way through career and i am clueless on how to play the game really.

I get caught in the clinch and taken down at will. Wrestlers take me down at will. My LHW fight vs Randlemen, taken down 24 times.....all he would do is take me down, let me up, id throw a punch, he would clinch...rinse repeat.

No idea what I am doing on choke submissions. I just sit there and spin the L stick. ( non rumble controller ). Had one guy (the ai ) chain what seemed like 5 or 6 subs on me.

The slipping parrying counter system...chinese to me lol. I don't know if it is my controllers but the response time on it seems rather slow. I would dip back on the controller, my guy gets hit, then he dips back in game.

I like the set up of the game and such. Load times are horrid. Seriously they are bad.
Tutorial could go alot more indepth when starting career out though, I still don't know all the controls.

Severe lack of moves in the game also. That is an area that really needs to be expanded on.
