Kinda, now they've turned it into a mini game. For chokes you use the LS and both players have a bar, if you are getting choked you need to keep your bar out of theirs and if you are doing the choke you try and catch their bar. For joint subs such as arm bars and kimuara its the same thing just with LT and RT.I don't think ive played a UFC game since the first one, is the submission game easier?
