Tools To Help You Never Get Pressured/Block Broken Again In UFC 5! 

Until they fix stamina none of these games are gonna ever be balanced..no person should be throwing 100 plus strikes per round an their stamina takes no hit if so very minor smh

They need to add a parry like they did waaaaaaay back in the day on EA MMA. That parry will give a direct counter to the pressure

So helpful building a counter striker in online career good to know what strats to use and level up

This was much needed

I was wondering if I was going crazy, or it was the game. I would literally have someone come at me, throw a 4 strike combo, follow up with a 3 strike, then a 4 strike, and their stamina would be at 30%-40%. Then they stop for a moment, it recovers, and they're back at it. Your only options are to back up, block - but that will get broken. Then slip the strikes, but because they are quite literally button mashing, there's no pattern to read, so you would end up getting caught. If you choose to strike back, you run into the same problem. It becomes chaos. Then, if you want to change levels, the game is currently too difficult with landing a takedown, so you're nearly stuck. Only thing that helps a bit is if you clinch them, slice them with elbows, if you see them blocking high try to land a trip, and do your best on the ground. Also countering them on the feet with a well timed elbow as they spam, is a quick way to cut them up, and potentially get a doctor stoppage or force them to reconsider what they are doing. In any case, it is VERY boring gameplay and not fun at all. I won't be playing until this gets patched. It's actual frustration when I play versus enjoyment and respecting the skill of an opponent.

Thanks, any idea when they will patch a lot of these issues? I’ve been playing online career and turning takedowns and power takedowns appear to be broken … I love to grapple and trying to get the fight to the ground without turning takedowns is ugly and hard … forces me to almost cheese and clinch more than I would like to.. the only takedown that doesn’t have an issue is the double under bail to pull guard …. But I can’t pull guard and sweep… and there is no options to add moves like the crucifix . Things are so broken … stamina , takedowns , the camera is wonky on the ground … I’m so looking forward to a patch!!!!!

I gotta start using the clinch more. And wrestling more just don't wanna get into a sub situation

Head movement and lunges are good counter but the tracking is a little wonky so you’ll still get hit most of the time 😕

Can you show how to defend against pull back counter spammers

Im going to just keep practicing in the meantime… ik theres something im not doing right

Strike to the body is irrelevant 😂😂😂 game is in shambles rn

How do you do muay thai long guard on Xbox? What buttons?

I need this I’m struggling bad in this game

What buttons do you do use for pivot lunges

First. Now I'm going to pay attention.

It’s all in the hips and the right timing 😎👊

Former top 1000 player from ufc 3. This game is totally unplayable online. There is no defensive fighting. Utterly ridiculous.

Man, there are still spammers in this game like crazy. But I haven't seen pressure boxers just yet. Only in UFC 4

Ive got a huge problem with the stam in this game. I should he able to weather the storm when someones trying to rip through me and get them gassed. But you never get gassed in this game.

They need to fix that pressure things without they get tired and the block breaking , fighter keep fighting and blocking for 5 rounds , why in the game 3 shots and you have no more break

Quick tip. Move back and front kick em 😂😂. Worked many of times to button mashers.

Saying grappling will offset the pressure meta when takedowns are awful and can’t get completed in open play makes no sense also yeah we can clinch but it’s so ez to slip a clinch or jab or striaght or strike to avoid the clinch that’s all they gotta do yeah you hit them with a striaght uppercut they gon think twice but I be countering and hitting body and guys are just living forever and ever I don’t get why these pressure fighters aren’t being punished when I’m slipping and hitting body. Takedowns need a buff stamina needs a nerf and counter damage needs a huge buff.

Crooks can we have a friendly stand and bang? I would verse you in mma but I’m shit on the ground. I want to know what it feels like to verse a pro like you

Can we address how online career mode is a mode to CAF but the options are the same for 10 years. Can’t add new tattoos instead change some to look even worse 😂 I’m not saying that makes or breaks the game but there’s not even like decent skull tattoos lol many fighters are known for their ink and we can’t even make a realistic fighter without spending an hour in the menu trying to make something. Can we get like generic sets ? Clouds, flames, skulls, samurais, guns ? Like things fighters actual have and put together ? You have such little development in somethjng that we were getting from def jam fight for NY 😂 even the ability to have pre saved outfits and signature moves like there’s no reward or unlocks For any mode except career which is bland. Fight to up your stats but not have a legendary tattoo or legendary gloves that are only unlocked through skill and experience ?

A little too much stamina? Good lord it's way too much needs to take way more stamina to throw strikes 😂

This may be an unpopular opinion but I’m a hardcore MMA fan and a casual gamer. My fight IQ has helped me be decent at ufc 4 and I don’t think I’m horrible at 5 but it’s very difficult to have fun currently I would like a simplified denial system as I said I know this isn’t the popular opinion but like I get grounded and my buttons don’t work I do quit out cause I can’t have fun being denied based off someone knowing how something looks more than me I think maybe a denial system where you deny up to stop a Ground and pound transition, Deny down for a submission attempt Deny left for position transitions and deny right to sweep/getup I think this gives you a 25% chance to not get destroyed, most game changers are super high level so I know they like the skill gap the current system has but just giving us the ability to deny based on circumstances not position. If I’m getting ground and pound two or 3 times I should sent that next time same for submitted or same for a transition spammer based off you knowing what they want to do to you like I know this person wants to hold me in crucifix but if I don’t know which way to deny I get destroyed and no stamina

You forgot the r1 r2 frame back away works wonders right now believe me.

Another tip, Make sure your controllers on.

This game is BS the block braking is BS the input delay slow movement when switching stances it’sall BS

This is the worst ufc I’ve ever played. It’s a spanners dream. Punch tracking is ridiculous, so hard to slip. Stamina is basically unlimited

This is the worst ufc game so far stand up is trash and ground is trash

ufc 5 is utter garbage they made the game 100x worse and made it to cater the casuals who only know how to button smash and making takedown denies super easy. Its impossible to get a takedown on an average player and Im going for takedowns when they whiff a shot or mid combo. Game is just horrible and they downgraded the servers as I never lagged until this shitbox

Your a bot buddy, especially in online career I slip and block and allow players to basically punch them selves out when they reach half Stan I fight back, I waited an ENTIER half to 3/4 round 1st round untill I attack in online Career mode, the person by second round will have 3/4-1/2 of stamina bar if they are pressure fighters, slips take way less stamina than punching, of course I jab to get farther away and slam the body and legs when I can to help slow them down also nothing hurts words than body shots when you enemy is already starting to lack stamina, so yeah in therory ur strat would work but ur fighting a standingbstill practic dummy take this information to the online mode while ur talking see how far it gets you.
