How to unlock the Work Ethic achievement in EA SPORTS UFC 2 - Definitive Guide

There's 11 challenges each have three difficulties (easy, medium and hard). To get this achievement you need to complete all 33 with an A Rank. Here are some tips for the harder challenges.

Defense Tactics - Holding cn_RB or cn_RT and pressing cn_A,cn_B,cn_X or cn_Y will parry the strikes and gain you the most score and time.

Heavy Bag Hands & Legs - Keep your stamina high to land strikes with power, and vary your strikes between jabs, hooks, uppercuts and elbows.

Clinch Control - Keep your stamina high to transition quicker, land the odd strike to gain time and score.

Takedown Offense - Get two clinch takedowns to earn 150 score each and two normal takedowns to reach 500.

Submission Offense - Probably the hardest skill challenge, the AI seems to try to escape in the same pattern (cn_RSu,cn_RSl,cn_RSd,cn_RSr and the same timing, so you kind of need to get used to the pattern and block before they move rather than blocking as they change direction.

Submission offense requires a bit of luck, for sure. You have to stay ahead of the AI gates, which means you'll have to guess on the timing.

Also, the bug where you get negative reinforcement from your trainer on successful low kicks on the heavy bag is annoying.

I certainly think defensive tactics hard is the hardest of them all by far. I just literally cannot seem to fathom it.

He doesn't attack enough for me to hit 1k on the defensive tactics.


EDIT: Very luck dependent, how aggressive the AI is. After 20 rounds of watching him circle, I got up to 1200 with 20 seconds still left in the round.

You might want to update your Solution mate, the most recent update had made the submission offense a lot easier. I imagine some others too.

For the submission offense i used a little trick.
Start the submission move and when the mini game starts, pause the game, you should have the time to see where non to push the stick, hold the right stick in the right direction and return the game, wait less than a second and pause again, to see where to move the stick.
Repeat pause-resume until you get it.
I think that's the easiest way to do it.

EDIT: this trick can help you with "quick strike" challenge too, if you have slow reflex, when the command pop up, pause and prepare yourself, resume and do it!

For the rest of the challenges check iNTiMiDaTe xX solution

This really helped me. If you’re confused on how to do this like I was for like 3 minutes, as soon as you put the opponent into the submission pause your game then put your right hand on the RIGHT THUMB STICK then put your left hand on the START BUTTON then unpause and pause again quickly to see the RIGHT STICK HIGHLIGHT pop up on the submission wheel then spam the START BUTTON and just keep moving the RIGHT STICK to the highlights but keep spamming the pause button until you see THE LEFT STICK highlight pop up then put your left stick into the direction of the highlight. Then just repeat.

Basically the only two skill challenges that will give you trouble are the Submission Offense on Hard and the Punching Bag on Hard.

The Heavy bag is just about using your stamina and the right punches. Start with Jabs and Straights for the first half (while keeping stamina up) then switch to uppercuts, might take a few tries.

The trick for the Submission Offense is when you initiate a submission pause the game repeatedly so you can see where you need to push the joystick next kinda cheesy but will save you potential hours of frustration.

There are 11 challenges, which split into 3 sections: stand-up, clinch and ground. Each has 3 difficulty settings which normally means you need to score more points to achieve a higher rank. Earn an A rank on every challenge difficulty to unlock this trophy.

Tips:

Fast Strikes – Continue to press when starting the challenge. If the first strike isn't cross restart the challenge. The displayed buttons are random so you will eventually get to be the first button press. When you do you will start off with 19999 points so even taking your time with the rest of the strikes, you should have plenty of points to achieve the 1800 required for an "A" on Hard.
 
Offensive submission – This will probably be the hardest challenge for most as the key is to stop the bars going up. The A.I will always start blocking in an anti-clockwise motion once you get the timing down you should be able to rack up a fair few points. Completing a submission by flicking the in the correct direction twice in a row, after starting the submission attempt will give you bonus time. See the following video:
 
Heavy Bag Hands and Legs – This is far easier than initial impressions, It's all about getting a rhythm going, Mixing up your power shots with normal strikes. Take very small breaks to get a small replenish in stamina. See the following videos:

Let's go to SKILL CHALLENGE and go through each workout to level "A" at each difficulty level!
In my opinion, the most difficult thing in this trophy is the Submission offense at the HARD difficulty level, when you need to submit your opponent. I can say one thing, despite the fact that the computer’s intelligence on exit (DEFENSE) from submission has risen to a level, it still sometimes happens (you need to re-enter the challenge several times, or just retry) that it works according to the old scheme as in UFC 1, namely, first it goes up, then to the left, then down, then to the right, that is, the pattern works counterclockwise, all you need to do is work out the beat and everything will work out for you , because you already know where he will go next.
Here is my video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=737xh8PWBxA .

It is not necessary to do 4-5 grabs. You can get by with 3. The main thing is to try to guess as accurately as possible the directions in which the AI ​​will go and try to escape. The number of points received depends on this.
The counterclockwise circuit works, but not always. Sometimes the computer starts to thrash...
The most difficult thing is to get into timing when the AI ​​goes from one direction to another.

The trophy is actually quite easy. Submission Offense will be inconvenient for some, but you can get through the pause the first time. For me personally, it turned out to be more difficult to pass Quick Strike on Hard. The secret turned out to be to guess the first blow immediately after the start. An instant press gives 19,999 points. Then it’s quite stupid to not sleep and more or less quickly perform strikes. The result at the end with this scheme is from 4k to 5k, which is more than enough for an A rating.

Apparently, turning on the PS Pro boost mode enables time acceleration in tests. I couldn’t pass the challenge of punching a bag for 2 hours, after turning off the boost I passed it on the second try

Separately, I would like to add that you need to do about 4-5 grabs, it is advisable to predict the direction and try to block it faster (the approximate direction of movement, as was already said above, is counterclockwise), if you fail to make a grab some time or something then it failed, there is no need to wait for the end, immediately options and restart.

It was very sweaty with Heavy bag hands
To get through, I did this, hit a superman punch and immediately an uppercut, and so on all the time, hit the side and upper from the bottom of the bag, with 5 seconds left, I exhausted all my strength, scored 1087

In Submission Offense, there is no need to hope that the AI ​​will turn counterclockwise in circles. Just do it after a pause. You made a grab and pause, pressed for a millisecond, saw where the enemy was pressing, pause again, in the mode of which you put the right stick in the desired position in advance. Of course, keep an eye on the indicator for the left stick when it appears. Thus, out of the 700 required points, I scored more than 850. And no reinstallations are needed without a patch.

If you cannot complete the achievement after the update, I advise you to do as I did:
1) We delete the game, install it and do not update it. I advise you to turn off the Internet.
2) Upload the save to the cloud and delete it from the curling iron. The game won't launch with the new ones.
3) As written above, the AI ​​will break according to the system: UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT.
4) I advise you not to rush to immediately press up, wait a little, it happens that the AI ​​in this case begins to choke immediately to the left. The faster you transfer the painful hold and block the AI, the more points you will get.
5) Make 3-4 good creases and the trophy is yours.
PS It happens that the AI ​​starts to rush around abruptly, it happens, but quite rarely.
