DEAR EA Sports UFC Team

Hello LGND_UFC here I've played the UFC games since undisputed 3 really didn't get into till I played EA UFC 3 and one thing I've noticed that UFC 5 lacks that's become an issue is the stamina system. the game claims to be "real as it gets" but playing on UFC 5 I've noticed online players are able to throw over 100 strikes a round and at times land only 20 to 30 of those strikes making it low accuracy this alone should drain stamina but let's say round 1 they threw over 100 strikes but landed 20 that be very low accuracy percentage. they'll come in round 2 with nearly full stamina and the low accuracy is one thing but you also have to take into account the damage the player took in round 1 as well so more of a reason why stamina should have drained.  where this issue brings in another is the block break some players don't have technique and just try to spam the same strike countless times and yes head movement and counters can solve this issue but the problem is strikes and counters land clean and some how it doesn't do enough damage to stun the opponent or it doesn't make the opponent be at a halt for being countered instead the opponent can continue to press forward and eventually hurting the player by passing the block.     and as rounds go on the players block is completely gone and making it difficult to continue the fight and now the opponent who had just block breaked the entire fight wins the fight.   the answer to this is the stamina system if they keep throwing punches and were missing strikes and getting blocked their stamina should drain so yes they may get passed the block a few times but at the risk of completely draining their stamina and not being more technical.  counters need to have more damage and reward one counter that doesn't have enough damage is when an opponent throws a jab lead hand combo I block the jab and counter the lead hand with my own this does nothing and the opponent continues to walk forward throwing strikes another is the body kick when blocked and catching a kick the opponent is the one rewarded by being able to hit you while holding their leg back in UFC 3 if you ever caught a kick or knee you were rewarded if timed correctly you counter instantly with a lead hand and stun your opponent this would help the issue of players spamming knees and body kicks with no consequence.  the game needs to have more realism. in real MMA fights both fighters take their time in what most call feeling out their opponent cause they need to find reads, openings and creating set ups cause if they go out there recklessly there's too much risk of getting caught or being completely gassed. and when they're caught by a counter most of the time the opponent retreats and tries to reset they don't continue to walk forward cause usually when a fighter is caught with a counter and they're stunned and continue to try to work forward their strikes are much slower and they're more vulnerable to a ko. (if fighters didn't have the block break they would be forced to fight a technical fight a real fight where technique is need you'd have to find openings and reads and distance management cause throwing and missing strikes or being blocked will drain your stamina) I'm sure the block meter won't be removed but we need it to be balanced out players are taking advantage of the block meter and have no consequence and the elite dedicated players have to pay for that so if the stamina could be fixed it would help tremendously. players would love to have back to where you had truly manage stamina and doing do so you had to pick your shots and be defensive cause throwing too much would drain your stamina especially if your strikes were missed or blocked. but hope in ufc 6 we see this help cause one issue that is the stamina system and counter system could solve several issues thank you.
