The clinch controls and ground system are absolutely terrible. They were much better and made more sense in the first UFC. Now, it's unclear what's happening. There's no prompt when your opponent is making a move. Even if I did know he was trying to transition, it's also unclear of how to stop it. If you're trying to make a move yourself, they can still transition without an issue. Unless they're too busy striking you, making it impossible to transition at all.
The AI in general is crazily overpowered. I didn't have this trouble on the hardest difficulty in the first UFC, but now they're doing impossible combinations that a person couldn't possibly do (even on Easy). Also, my parries, blocks, and strikes have no effect 60% of the time. I could begin a decent striking combination only for them to not care even slightly and hit harder and faster. Usually when I throw a quick jab, they get at least 3 punches and a kick in before I even retract my arm. Sometimes when I parry, I counter with a strong attack that could even stumble them. That doesn't matter though; they just get back up and hit me even harder. I could throw 99 hard strikes that stumble my opponent only for them to throw one strike THROUGH MY BLOCK and it stumbles me or knocks me down.
And believe it or not, I'm not making any of this up or exaggerating what's happening.
