EA Sports UFC 2 Community Impressions

This journey to division 7 is a long one. I have no aspirations of making it to 8 - once I hit 7, I'm good. Lol.

Your not going to try for 8?

Why on earth does this game have no flash knockdowns, like we saw in Overeem vs Stipe tonight for instance? Especially at the heavier weights, they happen all the time irl.

Such a huge aspect of real life mma, yet in this game you only get knockdowns when there's a clean KO or off someone already being rocked.

Big fan of EA Sports combative games so I have a general feel for the UFC 2. Was seeing if anyone that has the game for Xbox One would be down to practice with me. I also like fighting as not so popular fighters to make it more fun. My Xbox name is Kuklinskii so add me if you'd like to to teach me some things and point out my flaws. Appreciate the time!

Knockdowns happen all the time in the game???

It is extraordinarily rare seeing a knockdown outside of during the rocked animation. Like I see one maybe once every 25 fights and it's usually from a headkick when countered (exactly as it should be, but it just happens way too rarely).

Do you think this game emulates real life when you see Overeem vs Stipe last night?

In this game you can walk into clean power punch after punch(or headkick for that matter) by heavyweights and there is barely a reaction

in fact some guy was afk(afj) last night and it took me 10-15 clean power hooks to put him down playing as rumble

and then there's the stupid combo multiplier arcade bull****. Did Rumble need a combo multiplication to KO Glover in their fight? Or what about JDS in the first Cain fight? Or what about Yancy Medeiros dropping Sean Spencer twice from two headkicks last night? Overeem dropping Miocic with basically his first punch of the fight?

If you don't actively block or evade against big punchers in the game you should be punished. Right now there's a cushion where you can just eat 5 headkicks in a row and say meh, no biggie. There is no sense of imminent danger. Most fights in EA UFC 2 look like real life flyweight fights in terms of clean shots landing with little effect.

In this game, if you both players try playing realistically with footwork(well as realistically as you can, seeing as we can't even throw punches while moving in the game) and a common-sense level of caution, every fight goes to decision. At every weight class. Because single strikes have no effect(inb4 someone says "but i got this clean knockout once like 20 days ago ya know". This is generally speaking of course.

They should add realistic gameplay as an option for non-arcaders.

I dont know bud, if my opponent goes afk, I can KO him in about 4-6 shots easily. If it took you 15 youre doing something wrong.

You are welcome to do this in fight now and report back.
Even then, The game is doing something wrong if it takes 4-6 unanswered Rumble shots to put someone on his *** at the very start of the fight.
