All in all its good. 1 thing is though that guard dominant is now too strong of a position. What I would do is allow the sweep to be quick while somone postures. If you don't block 1st postured punches stop the transition anyway. Right now there is just no way to really gain a stamina advantage from bottom to threaten with subs. You can sit in their guard, and not have to pass, and throw postured shots with impunity because you don't have to worry abouta block and pass. Because you have extra time to react left and right and there is no lockout, you can always guess to block the standup 1st then just fix it, and block the sweep atempt.

Can anyone with the patch confirm whether a cut-scene or otherwise if the ref will intervene now to stop the fighter/fight when a knockout or tko occurs?

Thanks.

Actually surprising that so much complexity was added in a patch. Im still not a fan of the ground game compared to Undisputed but it looks like after another patch or two i will be. Good show fight night team!

Depends on the location of the ref when the stoppage occurs but if close enough the ref will pull a fighter off of the other fighter.

I had someone last night give me their back and just block to survive, Well postured shots eat up the defensive persons stamina, and then it was RNC time while they had zero stamina. amazing. Back mount actually means something and is truly a dominant position where you do NOT want to be.

This wasn't possible pre-patch as they would just maintain stamina and block and hope you didn't posture and throw so they could get a standup.

He actually does it all the time, but if he's behind the camera you won't see it happen because the ref is invisible.

We didn't have time to tune ref visibility as part of this patch (he's actually turned off during replays since he never did anything useful before).

Hoping we can address these issues in the future.
