Yeah, do we know if they changed it after the beta? I found it fairly easy to break people's blocks in the beta, but it's really, really difficult in the full game. It could be a weight class/different fighter thing though

How on earth do I consistently land roundhouse kicks to the body? I was trying to land the classic 1-2-switch kick with Barboza against the AI Ferguson and often times the body kick was blocked or turned into a leg kick. I was mixing the combo up with boxing combos such as straight-hook-straight and rear uppercut-lead hook-cross but it would rarely land flush.

How do you get caf fighters in UT mode? Am i missing something i cant get any.

I really struggle with pressure, both with dealing with shots, and getting out of the way

I can pick my shots easily against someone who is patient, but against forward pressure I am dead, and they dont seem to gas out because they always hit me, regardless if Im using head movement or blocking

You seem to get stuck in a combo which is annoying

How do you fake transitions?

I always thought it was just flicking the stick but even if I do it for the shortest time it still loads the transition meter and the opponent has time to deny and waste my stamina

You just need to get lucky. I got a silver one out of a pack.

Faking transitions should indeed just be flicking in that general direction. Would be bad if there's some lag though.

Couple ways i deal with this:

Throw a lot of body shots if they are uber aggressive and just keep coming forward. After 2 rounds of consistent body shots, their stamina will be gone

Or just stand your ground with sways & dips to counter their volume shots. You are bound to hurt them and they will back up

It is. It's a very gentle light flick in the direction. They can still deny it if they do it in time though.

I'm having the same experience. I would finish the majority of my opponents if this didn't happen
