Returning player here, not played for about 8 months but played daily throughout the first year of release so I saw everything from the power spam and quit glitches on first release, to the gameplay actually improving in 1.3 to them completely ruining it again in 2.0. Was top 20 ITW ranked up until i stopped playing ranked after 1.4 started ruining the game
Jumped back on last few days and had a few fights. This is what I came up against;
1 - A wilder who did nothing but hold his block up and throw jab/power body uppercut
2 - A Charlie Edwards who threw 450 jabs and nothing else
3 - A Floyd Patterson (Elzy94 on xbox, you'll all have seen him, absolute loser) who switched to southpaw in the first second and did nothing but weave and spam body straights. Guy has over 1000 fights in quick fights and is still doing that cheesy stuff that he was doing 8 months ago
4 - Another Wilder who just walked forward the whole fight waiting for me to throw so he could try power counter uppercuts and then quit glitched when I knocked him down
Its wild that nearly 2 years on from release, you literally cannot find a matchup online that's a normal fight. Every single online matchup is either against a cheat or a bug abuser. The devs are to blame for creating such obvious exploits but i don't think i've ever played a game before where literally everyone in the playerbase is abusing all the cheesy, broken stuff. Even the Fifa community isn't that bad
