SO the game is not a slug fest like some people said? Can you guys try to cheese and find exploits on purpose to give us an indication of what the game will be like online?

everything really has a defense, its hard to cheese, for 1 your stamina will go in the crapper. the only real complaint i have is the cpu tends to get psychic when it wants to on higher difficulties, but the ai is much better than the demo, i didnt see the thousand shots, and i actually had trouble getting a couple fights to the ground vs guys who want to stand and bang like robbie lawler. it is easy to push someone against the cage but you can parry shots and you can defend the takedown. till you get an opening to escape or get a takedown of your own. you can also throw your own knees while being clinched against the cage to take down your opponents stamina, empty stamina means pretty much a free pass.

the only time i see reversals is on a major pass attempt. i do see sweeps from full guard, that take you to your opponents half guard, but they are easily defended if you are looking for it. if you dont defend it they will happen at a great rate. you just gotta deny.

Sounds good. So I'm guessing it's not as easy to stun people anymore? On the demo apparently you could just come out throwing haymakers, and once the AI is in the stunned animation (or yourself) they become defenseless and makes for an easy KO every time.

Hey Matt do you know if you can check really quick to see if they have sliders? thanks

the cpu does a much better job of parrying, but if you got 2 guys who are swinging wild then someone is bound to get rocked. its also a little easier to fight out of the tko state by mashing b.

Career mode details would be great...
