Stamina...

...Needs to regenerate way slower.


I can't stand that guys can throw 12 hit combos, completely gas themselves, take 3 steps backwards-faster than I can move forwards, and be at full stamina again immediately.

Preach brother. People walking backwards and you being unable to strike is one of my biggest annoyances - it's just so completely aggravating.

If people walked this fast backwards but your strikes had some lunge then OK (even if that creates its own problems) but they don't.

I quit my first match earlier (of thousands of games) against a 97 OVR HW CAF (My HW is 85 capped) because he would just walk backwards constantly using lunging side kicks and blocking clinches for a free lunging head kick and my CAF couldn't compete with his stats ground/clinch wise so I just left.

Not to mention they can hold block while moving back recovering stanima. Spammers paradise. (I'm guilty of it)

Really surprised there are no thoughts on this.

Walking backwards should definitely have a penalty on stamina regeneration or move speed or both.

I am also suprised there is nothing done about this since the game released with all those patches, other than holding High Block + Moving backwards is slower.

No. This is a video game and needs to have a balance between fun and realism. You need stamina to play the game effectively and for enjoying play. If they made it as realistic as you requested it would be boring as ****.

I don't see what's boring about having a chessmatch in the octagon, rather than the 100+ strikes thrown a round slugfests. It's all about rarity. How often in real life do you see headkick knockdowns? Not often. Do you get extremely excited when it happens? Yes. Now on the game, they happen so often if landed at the end of a combo I'm sure most people don't even get excited anymore. The more rare something is, the more fun it is when it happens. There's nothing more tense and fun than a strategical battle between two fighters both looking for an opening to land that big shot.

If you are getting a lot of head kick knock downs then the guys you are playing suck. How often do you think guys in the top 100 get knocked down from head kicks? In level 6 I get knocked down about once every 9 games from various strikes or about once every 30 games from head kicks and I am not even a top player. I honestly can't remember the last time I got knocked down from a head kick at the end of a combo. Lift your game bro.

Yes rare things are more fun when they occur but it is the time in between that makes it a tough sell for most players. On a 12 fight UFC card many of the fights will be chess matches that go the distance with minimal excitement. Yes that makes the 2 or 3 exciting fights so much better but it's the other %90 in between that is the issue.

To solve this problem they should just have a sim mode for people like you who claim they want realistic play and stamina. I am pretty sure though you would quickly get bored of playing sim mode if the stamina did in fact mimic real life. One hard guillotine attempt and your arms are gone for two rounds. One flurry to try and finish the guy when he is hurt then you got nothing left for the other 2 rounds. Block a hard head kick on your forearm now you basically only have power left in one arm. You say you want sim but I don’t think you know what that really means
