Thanks for posting that, Phobia. I was just going to ask about how the replay system works. Looks good. Can you view previous fights online?

His punch range was better than mine and closing speed just out classed me. He lands a quick combo that sends me stumbling. I quickly shoot for the take down while he was pressing forward. I land and quickly pass to take the mount. He rolls and lets me take his back and I just quickly slapped on the choke. My right eye was cut and bloody real bad from the heavy exchanges I was falling short on. Got real lucky I landed the take down and just out classed the guy on the bottom. I have yet to face a high level BJJ guy like myself yet though. EA Sports: SAVED

Good stuff, Phobia.

How is this game against the CPU? Is it a (fair) challenge?

I have not fiddled with the replay system to much yet so I really don't know the ends and outs of whats possible with it. So far all I have seen is you can save and upload the finial highlights of a fight.

The CPU is fun to play. Seems fair to me. I just got handed my first lost. 11 punches thrown in this fight. You will quickly see what happened.

I came out, threw a leg kick. Then went to shoot in and got caught with a rising knee to the face. Which stunned me badly. I regain my head a little and try to keep some distance with some body kicks. but the guy catches my first kick and then just destroys my face. this puts me to the canvas pretty much done. He jumps in my guard and lands 2 or 3 punches to KO me.

My first loss.
8-1

EA Sports: FIRST LOSS

[Phobia]

Rebounding after my loss. My fighter can't stand and bang so take it to the ground and look for the sub is my main game plan. It is not flashy but it works.

I almost locked in the darce but he barely managed to escape. But not for long, as he manged to get back into my guard and the triangle quickly locked on him.

The majority of my Non Career mode fights have gone the distance. I actually havent seen a flash Ko from stand up yet. Most KOs were someone getting stunned and the other player jumping on them and finishing with a Tko. I had 1 one punch KO with Tim Kennedy. Kennedy had Jacare in full Mount, landed a hook and Jacare went to sleep.

I'm actually disappointed with the replay system. There is no in game manual replay. You can only watch the replay of highlights at the end of the fight and even that is limited. Limited camera angles, no rewind, only 3 speeds to choose from.

There are only 3 highlights per round. Also the highlights the game selects arent always great. Sometimes it will select someone attempting a sub over a more significant punch or kick in the round.

Really? That's a big let down for me.

Matt pointed it out to me but just seen it a few fights ago. Some times when you got a guy in a choke they will tap or times they will just go to sleep.

This issue I am having so far in my career is not that it is easy. But the opponents I am facing so far are all VERY weak in submissions. But almost all of them have me beat bad in the stand up, clinch, and health.

I am in the 60s in stand up while most the guys I been facing are in the 70s. But I am in the mid 90s in submissions while most the guys I have faced so far are in the 30s with the highest I faced so far in the mid 40s. Can't wait to see what it is like when I face a high level BJJ guy.

Because now it is pretty difficult for me. The CPU does a great job blocking you shooting for the clinch or take down. So getting it to the ground is not always easy.

This last fight, I am in the 1 round 20 min league and it lasted to the 7 min mark. So that was like 13 min of a real time war. It took me all fight till I saw a opening for the submission.

This guy I faced did nothing but kicks. So he threw a barage of leg kicks and head kicks at me. Basically just asking for me to get KOed. He always stunned and rocked me about 2 or 3 times in the match and I covered up and survived with my back to the cage.

I am REALLY loving the game.

This was one of his shots that stunned me.

Left cross, Left head kick lands flush and almost puts me to sleep. THEN a stiff jab on the chin. Then he hooked me in the clinch.
