Takedown spam with no consequence

To EA Sports:

Fix your **bleep** game.

How the hell is it possible for some scrub to shoot 30 takedowns in a 3-round fight and still have a full gas tank? That’s not MMA — that’s a clown show.  No denial button for clinch spam aswell. You’re rewarding panic wrestlers who spam double legs from across the cage like it’s a button-mashing contest. They miss over and over, eat counters, and somehow still have enough stamina to clinch, shoot again, and throw combos? Absolute trash mechanics. This is UFC, not a Tekken wrestling mod. In real life, missing even a couple of takedowns gasses fighters. In your game, they can fail 10 in a row and look fresh as round one. Meanwhile, the guy defending everything gets no stamina advantage — no damage bonuses, no counters, nothing.

Start punishing failed takedown attempts. Make it drain stamina like it used to. Denials should hurt. Chain-shooting with no setup should leave them vulnerable. Right now, it’s broken, unrealistic, and pure spam bait.

Fix the game or keep letting clinch-spamming bums and D1 cheesers ruin the experience

    Sounds like you may have never defended an actual takedown before bro. It's a lot more resource-intensive defending a takedown than it is trying to land a takedown

    I defend nearly every takedown but my stamina gets drained and his does not.  This is my whole reason for the post . Clearly you have not played somebody that only shoots takedowns purely to drain stamina within 2 rounds of the fight leaving u unable to do anything
