Is there anyway to pull guard from standup?

I couldn't find it so I posted that complaint to the official beta forum.

I believe you have to let someone crush your face and fall over backwards

It's cool that they kept the beta up so we can practice against the CPU, but I need some human opponents right now. I still can't bring myself to re-download the first game, though. Guess I just have to stay hungry in the dojo while I wait to step back in the cage.

One thing that's kind of irritated me while playing the beta is the punch feint. Hopefully we can get some different animations for that one. Don't like it at all.

As soon as I played the beta, I deleted the first one from my PS4.

It would be nice to hear from the devs or from someone who knows that what kind of changes are the devs making to the game after the beta feedback?

Also I think I read from somewhere that there will be no demo. If this is true, I would like to hear why? I think there are many who are not sure about getting UFC 2, and I think that a demo would be a good way to showcase the game to get more buyers.

I'd love a demo too, but I think there's a lot more to that than the average person realizes.

Just releasing a Beta is a massive amount of work. And I've read in the past that a Demo is a tonne of work as well, which only takes time and resources away from the game itself.
Then there's the hurdles that Sony and MS put in place which devs have to leap in order release a demo.

Simply put, it's a lot of time, money and headache.

I'm not disagreeing with you, as I'd love a demo too. But I don't think it's a case where EA is purposely trying to screw the customer.
And XB owners have the option of EA Access to play the completed game much earlier.
I'm a PS4 owner so I'm kind of screwed, but if I had an XB, I'd be getting the All Access package for sure.

I wish I had pre-ordered so I could have had a shot at the Beta, but that's on me.
I'm still very interested in purchasing this game even without having any hands-on opportunity.
I own a Gamer Card at EBGames which allows me to buy a game, play it and if I don't like it, return it in 7 days for a different game.
That's another great option for us Demo-less and Beta-less guys.

I doubt they will do a full announcement 4 weeks before release. The devs have already stated that they are making tweaks to things like ground and pound among other things. You will probably have to wait until we get closer to release before you hear anything official.

Regarding the demo, I think the answer is lack of time. It takes time to create a demo and bug test it. It takes time to create a beta. I dont think they had time to do both and still work on the game. Thousands of people got a chance to play the game through the beta. Thousands more will get a chance to play the game before release through EA Access.

If you are a PS4 guy who didnt get a chance to play the beta, there are already hours of videos online that you can watch of people playing the game to help u make a decision or you. Or you can wait for reviews and rent it from Gamefly,
