EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Ok, the few things that are standing out to me at the moment are:

-The devs have taken out some degrees of movement from the analog. In UFC 1, if I subtly moved the controller, the fighter would take small steps. The steps are still there but they aren't as precision as the last game. The fighters seem less fluid and more stiff. Devs need to get those degrees of movement back in.

-I'm figuring this will be fixed for the final release, but as of now, I think the difficulty levels are turned off. I'm playing A.I. opponents on "Pro" difficulty (which was pretty challenging in UFC-1) and I'm just punching the daylights out of my opponents waaaay too easy. They're not blocking are defending themselves AT ALL.

-Lastly, am I the only one thats having a problem fighting human opponents? The game is not recognizing that I'm already an Xbox live Gold member and its trying to force me to buy a subscription to Gold before I can get online with human opponents. I'm NOT buying another subscription, I already have one. Whats the problem here?

What mode are you fighting AI opponents? I dont think practice mode has a difficulty level and UT isnt AI driven I think. You are playing against a ghost of another person's UT fighter and not against the actual AI. I could be wrong about this.

Probably not the type of feedback the Devs are looking for

Yea, I'm in UT against the A.I. opponents. Thats the only way to actually fight against the A.I. as of now I guess. Also, I finally got online to challenge human opponents but I've had no luck transitioning to an actual match. It says roughly 1500 people online, but I can't sync with any of them.

I keep getting a, "the session failed to load. Please try again" error. Same thing a couple of hours ago. I checked my connection and it's good.

Is their move lists? Just downloaded. Can't figure out how to even do a Superman with Lawler lol

After doing all the tutorials, in my first fight against the computer, i pulled off a standing guillotine from muay thai clinch with Gunnar Nelson. Thing of beauty.

After that, jumped right into online, 5-0, 3 decisions, 1 knockout, 1 sub. I still don't feel too good, no where near as good as UFC 1 yet obviously. I still feel like a noob, but it's easy to see this game is really good IMO.

I'm having some trouble on the ground though, i can hardly block a transition. It feels like i'm doing it on time and going in the right direction, but it's not blocking it. Especially when i transition into mount and the person already loaded up their transition to get back to half guard, and i see it from time, and i input my block to the correct side and it does nothing. Anytime i get mount, the person almost always regains half guard instantly.

Anyone have any tips on blocking transitions on the ground?
