Ive run 18 leagues of that so it would want to be at this stage! Will aim to start something the end of next week. For now anyone interested drop their name below so I have an idea of numbers and then ill look into what would work best.

I'm down for it.

Any of the new lads add your psn when sticking your name down so we can add you to the psn group we have setup.

Still can't block people from getting into the clinch and spamming knee kicks, any tips?

Am doing awful online to be honest, record of 12-11 I think

First mistake most people make is not using low block for a knee. They assume its high cos its a knee in the head but you block low with your hands so its a low block. If you block it you have grapple advantage and can transition out.

As soon as someone gets you in thai clinch, hold R2 (low block) to block knees. As soon as you block I've, hold up to break the clinch. If you can block 2 strikes in a row, you get maximum grapple advantage (quicker transitions/escapes than your opponent).

It can be hard to block when when they mix up elbows and knees and knees are overpowered at the moment, crap coming up against guys who constantly try it. The insta thai clinch should be removed from the game.

I was champion for one night and came up against a fella who didn't want to fight, he wanted to roll around on the ground, not do submissions or anything. Just punching wherever he could. Still haven't got the hand of offensive submissions so I was useless. Lost on points

There's a good vid on YouTube. Search ea ufc 2 best ground game tips. Then try a grappling only fight with someone on here, great way to get used to the ground game.

How is that insta Thai clinch done? I hate getting stung by it.

Zero-Cool

Certain muay thai and bjj guys have it as well as an unlockable move in ultimate team. Hold L1 and press right stick towards your opponent. Now pick Rose who has it and you have a choice of elbows, knees and a 2 gate flying armbar all from a simple clinch move.

RebelSoul

I've come up against guys and that's all they will try to do. Just constant insta clinchs. Frustrating as hell until they eat an uppercut.

Something I noticed last night. When I was in top mount raining down punches to my opponents face their stamina was actually going back up. Not when they were blocking but when the punches were connecting flush with their face. Anyone else notice this happen?

Just came here to say I had the most annoying fight online yesterday. Some prick tried 66 takedowns. Also kept getting me in a head clinch. Daniel Cormier I think it was..

More info about the new patch coming shortly.

Stockton slap : https://twitter.com/GeoffHarrower/status/719264143526604800

- Made passing guard from postured down position more difficult #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- And to maintain balance, submissions from bottom guard have been made a little harder to pull off as well #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- If a parry is mistimed, block will no longer be activated automatically #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- Swaying away from the opponent will put the fighter at risk for higher body damage #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- New strike intercept framework. #stoppingpower #longlivethejab #shutdownspinning**** #timingiseverything #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- If you don't know what that last tweet means, check out this example. With the new framework, the jab would win. http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/10406207.page

- When two opposing strikes land in quick succession, the 1st will take power off the 2nd #patchspolers #EASPORTSUFC2

Zero-Cool

Dis gon be a big ass patch

- Reduced damage on consecutive uppercut combos #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- Updated Attribute/Perks/Movesets for various fighters #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

- AI logic, submission and game plan tuning #patchspoilers #EASPORTSUFC2

Uninstalled the ea access trial.

Too many annoying things in game. Most annoying is the way you cant hit someone while they do a spining kick or punch

Just punched the head off someone who was using mc gregor.dominated him and Rocked him about 5 times. Each time he covers up and i cant finish. Then somehow late in the third with no stamina throws a ten punch combo with full power to ko me.

When my stamina goes down my fighter barely lifts his arms.

The patch is out and the Stockton slap is in

Cote and Smolka added.

Trade 5 of your UT cards for a random higher level card.

I really wish longevity wasn't part of career mode, or if it was left optional. Careers finish far too abruptly. Really spoils the game mode.

How is that best handled?

First keep your distance until you're ready. Know need to be standing in range of flying a knee.

Then when you're ready flick the analog stick forward quickly and your fighter will do a quick step forward. Most of the time you'll still be out of range but your opponent won't realise this and go for the spinning kick. He'll miss the kick but will be open to your strike if you do another quick step in.

Another is to just learn how to parry and use body kicks.
