UFC 6 – Bring Back the Old Kick Animations! 🦵🔥Or Fix middle Kick.

Since the latest update, the kick animations feel noticeably different for many fighters.

The biggest issue is with middle/body kicks. For example, Benoît Saint Denis, Shogun Rua and Anthony Johnson (Rumble) now have middle kicks that feel much slower and heavier than before. This does not feel realistic, especially for BSD, who actually throws very fast and explosive body kicks.

There is also an issue with rear calf kicks/low kicks. Their animations have changed for fighters such as Islam Makhachev, Dan Hooker, Petr Yan, Joshua Van, Alexandre Pantoja, Kevin Holland, and many others. The old animations felt faster, more fluid and more natural.

Please review these kick animations and, where appropriate, bring back the old animations and speed from before the update. 🙏

  • I don't know who thought that giving everyone that slow kick animation but he needs to be investigated. I get the idea of balancing fighters who are not really known for their kicks but I keep playing my fighters who lack power but they often rely on kicks and now they don't have the speed which made a style. It made boxing so favourable it's not even funny. It pays off even more to play all the broken guys like Ilia or Conor because if someone has somewhat decent reaction time you're made to fight in the pocket. PLS BRING BACK OLD KICK or at least bless the kickboxers with faster animations.

  • You guys decided to further ruin fighter uniqueness by giving most fighters slow obese heavyweight hooks, head kicks, body kicks and leg kicks. Also everyone and their grandmother has a spinning elbow except guys that actually have real life spinning elbow Ko'es Like Carlos Prates, Lerone Murphy and Diego lopes..You have to be trying to intentionally troll us. "We promised fighter uniqueness let's actively take it away and guys that actually have spinning elbows ko'es don't give it to them hahaha, they'll hate EA even more" clearly trying to **bleep** the community off!

    EA is a joke, I give up. I've been hopeful over the last few months that they would add more fighter uniqueness, fix move sets but they've done none of it. I'll never buy another UFC game from Ea ever again or any other EA product. I'm glad I also refused it but battlefield 6. Worse company on planet earth.

  • BSD and Shogun Rua Prime now kick like heavyweights under sedation. 💀🦵 This completely destroys their identity. Their middle kicks were fast and fluid before the update. Please fix these animations and bring back their old feel!

  • I hate the new hooks aswell they feel so weird like weird and short I hate it along with the kicks
