No dynamics in grappling

I completely agree, it's a very slow and boring parterre

I bet you change the channel when people goto the ground irl. The ground game is there for grapplers to slow the pace and work their game plan. Go-to stand and bang. It's chess not checkers.....

This is a game, not a real sport. This is made for fun. So when I see Kamaru Usman vs. Masvidal, I feel bored. If we can remove this element, then why not do it? In the 4th part the ground was more dynamic. Now it looks like lie down and pray

Take it to stand and bang then. It's a "sports" game. Their not removing punts, first downs or taking a knee out of Madden why would they remove a technical aspect of this game? If you're not really an MMA fan just say it....

Also I don't think you understand what dynamic means. The ground in 4 was bland and made to be a lot more arcadey. The ground in 5 is very dynamic and the clinch system in 3 was a lot more dynamic. 

Glad to hear you're liking the changes to striking!

Thanks for the additional thoughts about grappling and the ground game overall. Those are some fair points and I'll pass them along to the team!

@JKexplosion1 had a great post here with some tips on the ground game as well, for those that may have missed it. 🙂

@JKexplosion1  some nonsense about who is an MMA fan and who is not. Can we check this somehow? If it seems that everything should be like in life, then in the game there should be situations like Omeili’s: 1 hit, 1 knockout. But this is not the case, because the game creates conventions and I may not like this or that convention. Slow grappling where you lie the whole round and you and your opponent can’t do anything, it’s bad from my point of view. This kills interest in the game. For this reason, I believe that this aspect of the game needs to be made more dynamic so that both the one who attacks can do something and the one who defends. Now it looks like the struggle of peak Georges St-Pierre. Lie down and pray

I'm saying it's a "mixed" martial game, not a striking game. Most hardcore players want a real sim, sadly enough if you're not good enough on the ground to get up then yes youll be stuck and that's just realistic man. I don't know what else I need to say other than a lot and I mean a lot of ppl love grappling and find the chess match fun. Alot of you guys just want to spam a million strikes and then you rage quit the moment you get dumped on your head. To each their own but id suggest you just "Get Gud".

Where are there any arguments other than “I like it this way”? What chess? You just pull the stick in different directions. in UFC 4 I had a 1900 rating. In UFC 5 I had 1600. I can’t say that I’m a casual who doesn’t know how to press buttons. I'm not saying that only defensive grappling should be dominant? Both attacking and defending in grappling is very boring. It's slow.
If this is supposed to be a sports simulator, then knockouts should be with 1-2 hits. Will it be fun? Don't think.

I have no problems with grappling. You sound like you transition every way on the ground then quit cause they blocked em all. You had to do certian transitions when theyre transitions, allowing thier stamina to recover. If it feels slow to you. It cause you probably are using a striker and got taken down. Its like when i try striking a striker with a grappler. Guess who allways lands first? Suprise suprise, the striker.
