oh yes! I easily mastered the clinch game in 2009, but 2010 was completely different. Not to say I didn't understand the concept, but the fact that I would be doing a transition in the clinch only for it to be canceled out by the other player and he would push me against the fence (which was impossible to stop) and they would spam uppercuts until you get KO'd. Even breaking up the clinch was useless becasue the person who tried to break it up would have a slightly longer animation and the other guy could initiate the clinch and do it all over again... fucking pissed me right off.
That's why I almost always used Carwin to knock those clinch bastards out before they could do that shit. That and I would always fight at heavyweight, since 205 had the WORST exploiters.
