This many titles in, 2K simply gave up in telling new players how their own game works. Sure you'll get a few text boxes popping up to dictate how the newest systems like pins, submissions and refined chain wrestling work, but that's it. Literally it. For anyone coming in fresh, or if you've not been playing the last few games regularly, you'll see opponents using a far wider range of moves on you, than you know how to pull off - and there's no way to find out how, either. Even the newcomer-focussed MyCareer just walks you through the same 'here's the new stuff!' steps as the main game, and it's a crying shame, because you simply won't know about some of the best animations in the game (like the OMG! ones) without venturing online and/or asking around. Fostering a talkative community is one thing, but lazily forgoing a tutorial, waving your hand and going "Bah, they'll figure it out" is something else entirely. How to fix it: Yukes already had a solid step-by-step breakdown of every single move in the UFC games, and considering the more realistic approach they're taking with 'putting on a show' and the like, we'd appreciate a full rundown of exactly what's in our moveset to do so.
