this game is fucking terrible. i just pre denied half guard EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT ZHANG GETS SIDE CONTROL EVERY TIME IT MAKES NO SENSE. IM LETERALLY PRE DENYING TO THE LEFT BUT SHE GETS IT EVERY TIME? WHAT IS THIS GAME
this game is fucking terrible. i literally pre deny everything at this point and STILL cant deny shit. its just a matter of who can get the takedown or clinch in this game now. fucking terrible
Agreed. I dont know how they literally ported the ufc 3 ground game, ruined the ground and pound and then somehow made denies nearly impossible to land. Only EA could copy paste something and still manage to fuck it up
Thanks so much, this video is the first one I’ve watched that makes total sense and makes me want to try to get better at the ground game. You have a real talent for making the complexities of this game a lot simpler.
I did nothing but Stand and Bang in UFC 3 but I had somewhat of an understanding of the grappling, so I came into UFC 4 with crisp standup but with a garbage ground game 😢 this helped a lot lmao thanks
i dont really get how this works. numerous times i have denied the right way and it doesnt register. Do you keep flicking the stick towards that direction or just hold it?
What I need is all those indicators without the arrows cause I play on the hardest setting so they don't give you the little circle that shows an indicator
Do you have to hold the right stick in the denile direction or flick the stick in the direction?? Also maybe you could make a video on reversals and how to perform them
I was losing on the ground everytime it got taken there so I paused the game watched this video and as soon as I got taken down I was able to move straight into top guard and into a leg lock
I get stuck in gnp opponent puts knee on belly throws 1 strike goes down and repeat over and over he has no stamina i dont get it literally can not get out
Thank you bro I only needed to know the bottom part I’m not a pussy so I don’t do takedowns I go toe to toe but when I get taken down I have no idea what to so
Not sure how to change my Actual Grapple Commands.. my transitions just say Grapple.. Get Up and Ground an Pound.. after that I'm so lost on how to transition properly..?!. just going with the flow
@@ssjwarrior100 yeah makes no sense even when I'm on the bottom and press my right stick in a direction and immediately press R2 to canel it and I'm already blocked
How do you deny someone LB reversing backside ? It's not RS right or left because it pops up to transition back to side saddle when you let go of RT n this is so frustrating. It was a simple left or right but now if you're holding rt they'll reverse you n if you're not holding rt it gives you the option to side saddle again . Obz I'm holding rt to deny so everytime they go for backside they get it . I'm baffled!
I’m still confused online I can’t stop a transition to save my life they consistently get up not even really changing positions but just getting out of the ground game
I don’t get it this this is to hard and I can never stopped getting spammed into grapples onto the ground and when I press L2 and R2 to not get took down it still happens it’s so frustrating not being able to fight and have to get spammed the whole time playing
I am new at this game and had 20 wins 5 losses (quick match and online world championship) but still have problems with the game especially submission system
@@dktitanx2773 is the timing based on when the other players fighter starts to move or when the "circle" thing is loading up ? Like, if I know someone wants to get up as soon as I take them down do I just hold r2 and flick up or wait until they start to actually move ?
@@deiv007s technically it’s based on when the circle thing is loading up but there’s no reason to overthink it. just deny as soon as you see the other player start to move in a certain direction. once you get comfortable with the transition animations it’ll get a lot easier
I often get no transition wheel/options when I get taken down they immediately transition into top Mount while I didn’t even get the option to deny or transition is this a glitch or wtf is going on??? Also I had one dude transition from armbar to RNC back and forth wasting my stamina just by transition I never got the option to do anything he did this for an entire round? Is this a glitch or just shitty job by EA?
It’s not supposed to show you where he’s going.. it only shows you when you’re against AI’s, you just gotta defend it by looking at where he’s going, basically just learn what animation means what.. it takes some time tbh. Usually you can just deny in the direction you see him move
There is also a practice mode where you can face a bot. Go into offline modes and then choose practice. You can choose different difficulty settings for the bot’s behaviour.
I consider myself a good wrestler in this game, i am currently ranked 2494 in ufc 4 but I simply cannot deny posture up transitions in this f****** game, the game absolutely sucks to be honest I am starting to feel sick of playing it because of this problems. Sometimes the game doesn't allow me to do the takedowns as well and I can't understand why, sometimes I try to do it 4 or 5 times repeatedly and the fighter simply doesn't went for the takedown.
Ok I know how to do it but it never Denies anything for me it’s so frustrating like I know I’m doing it right n the game is just telling me fuck you it literally never denies anything n I know I’m doing it fast enough I literally don’t get it
Can anyone tell me, when i take down, my screen says says the L stick up for get up, L stick left for submission, and L right for ground and pound. There is no R stick half guard/full guard option
Bro idk how to complete the transitions from the bottom. I got out grappled by AI Rumble Johnson last night because it glitches, freezes then bam I'm on my back. Then when you try and get back up or transition they defend it immediately
This does not work in online gameplay it’s so stupid offline is so easy to block evan on the hardest difficulty online is just so weird and my internet is not bad I evan be pre denying it jus does not work.
@@slxyerxo I understand it now. but at the time when i saw this video, the part about controls being inverted in half guard made zero sense. Eventually i realized that the camera angle is what makes the difference and not the position

Literally these videos are all I’ve been looking for since ufc 3. Thank you very much, subbed.
Swear to god I always time the transitions yet still don’t get the deny
For real like Ik I timed it and got the right direction but it doesn’t deny

Keep in mind the meter on top of screen is why you punch from bottom the more it is on your side the faster you transition
Finally a video that isn't confusing that explains exactly how to deny transitions
Grappling and ground and pound is absolutely shocking on this game feels broken
A lot to remember but great video honestly best break down I've seen yet especially for beginners like me lol.
Great videos my man . Way better than the other ufc youtubers. You get right to the point. Keep up the great work
My ground game is on point but I didn't know how to deny people till now learned it all while smoking a cigarette thanks
*Bro this video made me waaay better, I'm getting wins with wrestlers* 🔥🙏

@@dylansmith8777 well i was flicked it the moment i saw movement and then hold it to the block is registered that worked
Either way is fine
flicking denies, holding reverses
Thank you I never knew about playing in offline modes shows you the arrows in mmmmm with the animations. Great info
I love denying in side control multiple times and getting the easy d'arce choke. 90% of the time it's a rage quit
@benadryl cabbagepatch stop it then
Bro how do I deny people from getting up?
From side control
yea, side control is the best top position in the game. was on ufc 3 too
I was losing on the ground everytime it got taken there so I paused the game watched this video and as soon as I got taken down I was able to move straight into top guard and into a leg lock
Yo I was you 100th sub and great vid
Thank you for subscribing!
@@ic4games your subs have basically doubled in a day because of this video, just shows how frustrating the ground game really is :'')
Thanks for all you’ve done for UFC 4!!
Great work on the vid. This will for sure help me against my friends and other people
Beautiful tutorial, thanks for the tips.
Lowkey excited about UFC 5, they better nail the ground game this time
Ty for this! Great tips!
My stand up is pretty much perfect on this game. I rarely lose standing up online. Literally 90% of my L’s come from ground and pound or submission
when i play online the defend Doesn’t come up 😭😭
its not supposed to. if it popped up online the enemy player could see it. u just gotta practice it.
Great video dude, You keep it simple and understand the game well!
I have just hit top 700 in the world and this is going to helpful to anyone who watches and implements the instructions
subbeeeddd, super clear explanations and great job showing us all the transition
Mines glitched can’t deny online only in fight now
same problem
I get stuck in gnp opponent puts knee on belly throws 1 strike goes down and repeat over and over he has no stamina i dont get it literally can not get out
586th Sub. You're a legend!!
Great breakdown, thank you for this!
I don’t understand why they didn’t keep the same ground game and clinch system. So frustrating
How do I push the opponent on the ground when punching them on the cage from a rock
Idk if you've figured it out already but you can just approach them and it'll do it automatically
The arrow doesn’t show up on my screen.. I thought it was a design change to stop Ground being so dominant
Wow bout time a perfect to the point simple tutorial 👏 👌 👍
I have a problem the R does not show on my screen and does not work in the Game ....only in career mode does it show
Thank you bro I only needed to know the bottom part I’m not a pussy so I don’t do takedowns I go toe to toe but when I get taken down I have no idea what to so
Good vid bro!! earned a sub💯
Holy damn it that was so annoying until I switched to legacy. It was just stagger them, they tackle, we stay on the ground until the next round
Not sure how to change my Actual Grapple Commands.. my transitions just say Grapple.. Get Up and Ground an Pound.. after that I'm so lost on how to transition properly..?!. just going with the flow
Soon as i get put on my back i can't get up. How do you get up ? They block every transition. Impossible.
Word shit is annoying asf
@@ssjwarrior100 yeah makes no sense even when I'm on the bottom and press my right stick in a direction and immediately press R2 to canel it and I'm already blocked
Thanks coach, I needed this
Whenever i play online or multiplayer,that “defend “ option won’t show!
Any tips on how to turn it on ???

is there a way to practice these without the stupid arrows?
Just got yourself a subscriber thanks brother
I’m still confused online I can’t stop a transition to save my life they consistently get up not even really changing positions but just getting out of the ground game
Hey bro can you make a video on striking defense? Lunges, sways, slips and counters? Thank you your videos are very helpful.
Working on that for you right now!
@@ic4games 🥊💯💯
Super helpful man ty, subbed for sure
Dude you are just awesome
I almost took out pen and paper 👍🏾
It’s hard for me cause there’s no indication Wich way u have to flick ur right stick idk if it’s a glitch or not
I don’t get it this this is to hard and I can never stopped getting spammed into grapples onto the ground and when I press L2 and R2 to not get took down it still happens it’s so frustrating not being able to fight and have to get spammed the whole time playing
If you want you can go into practice mode and turn the AI on skilled ground game and practice transition denials great vid btw thanks
Dude my record 20-60 lol but yeah I’m getting better thx for your uploads
A vid of combo strikes would be nice
How do you see your losses
Kevin Penn leaderboard and friends on online the first one called champions press on it and the bottom one or second last one
I am new at this game and had 20 wins 5 losses (quick match and online world championship) but still have problems with the game especially submission system
"Push the right stick up, down, left, etc..." do you flick it or push up and hold it ?
doesn’t matter as long as you time it correctly. most people flick though
@@dktitanx2773 is the timing based on when the other players fighter starts to move or when the "circle" thing is loading up ? Like, if I know someone wants to get up as soon as I take them down do I just hold r2 and flick up or wait until they start to actually move ?

flicking denies, holding reverses

cheers bro, this helped me out a lot!
Can I closed the direction signal on offline mode for practice ?
About out to real ones who put the hands on and don’t go to the ground once they start getting rocked
sick vid bro
What’s the best way to practice this ? Other then mycareer ...I wish there was a bot where you can just grapple
There is also a practice mode where you can face a bot. Go into offline modes and then choose practice. You can choose different difficulty settings for the bot’s behaviour.
I see we have a 2k player here
Thanks I’m a good striker but I usually get recked on the ground
how do i practice denying transitions on practice mode ?? really need help

This is my first ufc game and this part is gonna take a while to understand
Why are some of the options red (also green i think)?
Do you push right stick or hold right stick
Pretty informative good job
How do you stop them from getting up?
Can anyone tell me, when i take down, my screen says says the L stick up for get up, L stick left for submission, and L right for ground and pound. There is no R stick half guard/full guard option
Same find any solution???
@@capovs6648 yes buddy, apparently we need to go in settings and turn on legacy settings

Bro idk how to complete the transitions from the bottom. I got out grappled by AI Rumble Johnson last night because it glitches, freezes then bam I'm on my back. Then when you try and get back up or transition they defend it immediately
Who
Bruh I swear they’re smart because they made to where u can’t spam each side cause if u do the wrong one it automatically gives them the transition
how do you get that thing that says defend
So you can just hold down the r2 button the whole time your doing it?
I do that in single player but it doesn’t seem to be the case Online
Just subbed…thank you kindly
I hold r2 and wait for the opponent to move and it doesn't appear for me to defend and he manages to transition
remembering that I already put in the legacy
@@sixelr6169 it won’t show when ur online
This is a great video
Push it mean to hold it and not flick it?
Good Video mate
Thanks for the video
It’s literally impossible to remember all this I been playing this game for 6 months and still zero ground game
What’s your camera angle
Yea if u got a lil lag u just have no chance to deny some transitions
yes bro i would like to see the wrestler come at me now
Lol
🤣🤣🤣🤣
How do u get those controls
This does not work in online gameplay it’s so stupid offline is so easy to block evan on the hardest difficulty online is just so weird and my internet is not bad I evan be pre denying it jus does not work.
They need to add more elbows in the top mount postion
What if they have more stamina and they wait ontop of you to cancel whatever you do. Im fucking pissed
When he said the controls are flipped between types of guards, i lost him. Probably the only way to figure this out is through practice.
Bruh what don't you get?
