UFC 2010 Undisputed Demo Available, Post Impressions Here

[eeyor]

Having made myself clear about my opnin that the game needs sliders in the other thread there is one impression about the game that strikes me.

Submissions: Looking at how it is done this year, and partly last year, it is hard to argue for it as a valid tactic against the cpu. The problem I have is that submissions do not provide any tactical/gameplay benefit that would rationalize their existence.

What do I mean with that?
When you look at actual MMA the idea of submissions is to provide a mean of regulating aggressiveness. When you get sloppy, you might get caught in a submission attempt and will have a hard time fighting the danger of tapping. It should pace the opponent to only do "rationally" solid attacks. This part of the submission game is not there in UFC2010 which I do not understand. Flash KO's are there to caution you while in the standup but while on the ground, the element of pacing through the constant fear of being put in a submission is not there and also wasn't really there in 2009. This is per se not a big deal but in the game it downgrades submissions to a slick/fanzy way of knockouts.
I know that this problem can be reduced by playing online or with friends, but it should also be addressed in the AI coding.

Do you have noscript? It'll do that if you haven't allowed OS through.

not against shogun on expert. Just attemptin to posture will result in being reversed abot 75% of the time. Vs rampage. Posture all you want he doesn't try to reverse. Except in the clinch and then he gets double underhooks with body lock throu reversing your clinch transitions

Just got this last night, playing with Advanced mode I'm basically rematching until I win. Managed to get 2 wins last night. I'm hoping to be able to get to the point of beating the CPU on expert fairly easily, or else I'm gonna be a piece of cake for the rest of my fight camp haha. Beating Rua was no easy task, I was Rashad and for about 40 minutes of straight rematches I'd say he submitted me 1st round about 85% of the time haha. Good times though, the game plays quite a bit differently than last year, but I seem to be getting the hang of it.

Precisely the reason I say to bait him into a transition by throwing a weak strike, and reverse it to be full postured. he gets though he's only in half guard. if you transition and he reverses you have him in your guard.

So I played on advanced instead of expert last night. Was having alot more trouble overall than I was on expert.
