EA Sports UFC Gameplay Video - Jose Aldo vs. Anthony Pettis

I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't the full commentary package. Haven't they cut down on commentary big time in demos before in sports games to keep the file size smaller?

That wasnt the demo version. The demo is expected to have Pettis v. B. Henderson and Jones v. Gus. The commentary is the way it is because most of it was taken from actual broadcasts. They werent able to get much time with Joe and Goldie so they had to piece together the commentary.

Hendo v. Cormier.

If they have sliders or a simulation setting for stamina, I'll be OK.

PROS:

Amazing Presentation!!! - Cudos to EA Sports for stepping to the plate in the presentation department. The intro is one of the best I've seen on any sports game to date. Really draws you in and gives the fight amazing energy. I could only hope the Devs over the Fight Night Series are taking notes!!!!

Atmosphere - The arena felt alive with all that was going on. Felt like a true MMA environment. Also felt like a big time fight. Definitely looks and feels like real life!!!!

Sounds - Sound effects were very realistic. Announcer's voice on the mic was spot on. Very good commentary, commentators were on top of every move and made big strikes feel like big strikes. Good Job EA!!!

Animations - Loved the animations during gameplay. Could of used more here and there. As another member stated... there are a few animations missing as far as when it comes to the fighters getting up off the floor. I just feel they get up way too quickly.

CONS:

Game Speed - I felt the gameplay may have needed to be slowed down a bit. Especially as the fighters begin to settle in. They would naturally slow down a tad bit and focus more. But maybe this can also be addressed with a sliders.

Damage taken on Strikes - I saw waaaaaay to many flush shots being taken to the grill with no effect on the fighter. There would be times a fighter would receive a three punch combo to the face and he would just keep going forward like it was nothing... that's very unrealistic and makes the game seem "arcade-like" at times. Fighters need to show more damaging effects from strikes.

VERDICT:

Looks like it will be a solid game if this is what the final build will be like. Oh yea, I absolutely.....

"LOVE THE PRESENTATION!!!....O-M-G!!!!"

Gameplay is solid and and flows quite nicely. Looks like EA is starting to harness every inch of the consoles power and potential which is a welcomed change from EA Sports.... Well Done!!!

If I had a major grip it would be the damage effects of each fighter, I see way too many direct hits have no effect on the fighters. But it doesn't take away from the beauty I see in this game. And when it's all said and done.... "I believe this will be the best UFC game we have ever seen to date."

The one thing that bothered me the most is when jose aldo gets floored by pettis, get's up, and continues to fight like nothing happened. The dude should have at least been a little groggy when he got back to his feet. It made the game seem more like tekken or doa than a mma sim.

looks like another mindless button masher where your goal is to spam as many attacks as possible before your opponent. also, the slam against the cage and how the fighters seem to warp away from it was terrible. I've seen that stuff since the WWF PSX days. 20 years and that stuff is still happening? pathetic.
