I hate flicking the stick while I'm getting submitted. IT's mad annoying because I can never get out of it. I probably need another xbox one controller just for this game alone

Why are you flicking the stick?

Agreed.. Back pedal and pick your spots and you will be fine. As long as I keep it standing I win but if Gustafsson gets me on the ground I am in trouble.

Another words they will stuff every take down, parry all strikes, land counters at will, and submit or get out of submissions with ease. I'm hoping I'm wrong but that is the EA M.O.

Actually they did but it was a bit more varied. With EA MMA, the cpu does three gameplans: 1) With strikers like Fedor/Overreem, throw heavy punches and kicks until the stamina drops. 2) With wrestlers, spam takedowns constantly until it gets a takedown. 3) With grapplers like Shields and Aoik, spam the clinch. I almost quit playing the game against the CPU because of the amount it clinch spams with certain fighters until I got good at defending against it.

I dont even back pedal much. Most of the time I'm moving side to side and circling. That throws the CPU off on Easy. Same approach worked for EA MMA.

When the submission screen comes up you're supposed to press the stick, to whatever corner it is to get out of the submission. I can never seem to get out. Maybe I have to do the tutorial again

Thoughts.

Extremely mixed this far after 6 fights.

Pros:
Looks great
Fluid animations
Fighter models
Runs smooth for a demo.

Cons:
Apparently normal difficulty is equal to rookie or lower

AI is questionable. But it's only a demo

Hope we can accelerate the clock for rounds with 2-3 mins per round or else every fight will end within 1-2 rounds which I HATE

AI useless on the ground due to difficulty I hope

About what I expected honestly.

Hope the retail version had an AI bump. But as it seems now, the difficulty setting will only increase aggression and not actual fight logic.

Not very optimistic given EAs track record with just about anything involving sports.

5/10.

My expectations for the retail version?
Arcade AI mechanics.... 95% of fights will end in KO/ TKO by middle of second round...cookie cutter AI for every fighter... Unbalanced AI ... No sliders for difficulty adjustment.

So at least I set the bar low....

EA... Please prove me wrong.

I enjoy flicking the left stick while holding left trigger and then stepping away from attacks and getting back to the center. That will slow things down.

Just wish it felt more like a legitimate strategy instead of fixing the over aggression.
