This is a damn good game online.

There are some serious oddities with career mode. The stand up defense tactics Training is just crazy. Your training partner is waaaayyy too passive. I'm just basically chasing him around the ring and most the time he doesn't even throw enough punches for me to block to get a good rating.

So basically I retried that for an hour. Got lucky and got a B. Then I fight and win. Then I get a fight challenge and it's against Frank Mir. I can get 5000 bonus if I spend the majority of the fight on the ground. Land 30 punches from the ground and submit him with a kimora. OK that's going to be tough. So I go to train for my ground fight. Apparently there is a staph infection and I can't ground train for this fight. Hahaha OK so I'm going to take my 81 rated fighter against 91 Mir and fight him on the ground with no training. Ya this should go well. I don't get who thought that was clever.
I'm enjoying the game but career is a disaster in my opinion. I get why they made it so when you train you can sim and automatically get your highest grade. Its cheap and lazy though by EA in my opinion. Basically the first time you train on anything you should do it on hard and keep restarting till you get an A than don't do it again. If they would have made it so at different stages it was easier or harder or really anything different at all there might be some incentive to redo the training exercises but I've found that obtaining high grades has as much to do with luck as it does skill. So why would I subject myself to a crap shoot when I already have the grade.

Dont forget grappling advantage. Punches break up any attempt to land big MT clinch knees and give you GA. After you punch, you will find it easier to transition out of the clinch or take them down from it. I prefer taking them down.

With that said, I think the devs are looking into the quick mt entry.

Still puzzled at some of the move sets. Mike Tyson should not be able to sweep from half guard bottom to dominant back sitting.

This straight up isn't true. I just did this with McGregor vs Aldo the other day. I even have a clip of it if I can find it. I got the achievement for first strike knockout and everything. Definitely was on KO mode.

Here's the clip unfortunately it's not the live version, but the celebration+replay, so it doesn't really prove anything, but I'm 99.9999% sure it was the first strike of the match

I dont think that was in KO mode. The whole point of KO mode is that you have a certain number of hits before a person is KO'd.

Here are the EA UFC 2 achievements. There isnt a single one for knocking someone out with a single strike in KO mode or regular modes.

Strike First, Strike Hard 40
Knockout your opponent within the first thirty seconds of a match.

This is the one I got - you are probably right. I am even looking at my other clips and I see the one where it happened, it was not the first shot. I'm on drugs clearly.
