EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

[Gotmadskillzson]

Yeah I like fighting anywhere but Strikeforce......Strikeforce rules don't allow elbows on the ground. So if you want a rule set like UFC, fight in europe under the unified rule set.

No holds bar, everything goes, elbows on the ground, knees on the ground, soccer kicks, face stomps, fight in Brazil Vale Tudo rules.

Want everything but elbows on the ground, fight in Japan, under Japanese rules.

No enough people playing this late at night time though. I couldn't get a match at all last night when I started looking for one at 10est. I guess everybody is playing Fallout New Vegas.

I do wish they had the single collar tie though. That position would have really made Randy Coutoure shine. As it is now, when you fight against him all he does is push you up against the cage or take you down with a double league.

I noticed they have Andrei Arloski as a muay thai fighter, I thought he was a sambo fighter. Even the classic Andrei is muay thai fighter as well.

Was surprised they didn't have Carlos Newton in the game, along with classic Maurice Smith, Sakaraba "The Gracie Hunter", Don Frye.

But yeah they definitely need to work on the grappling aspect and presentation.

DAMN IT!!! I gotta stop reading these impressions. Lol. I'm so tempted to get this or just repurchase UFC 10. UFC was just so hard for me and all the KO's mad it unrealistic. I'm off this weekend and may make the jump. Gotta remember to stay away from Phobia. Lol

Man I understand. I was trying to pass on this game but the impressions seemed to good. Now I am picking it up in 20 mins when I leave work.

I love the total strike controls by far more than the classic. I had a hard time with the striking at first but after more than a week with the game. I can throw the strikes I want, when i want now. Plus having all the pass, defend controls on the buttons I like much more.

[ManiacMatt1782]

i think i found the first exploit, sadly a player with classic controls can throw with the other hand really fast off their punch being parried, so parring is useless, you cant sway because they will abuse the body with combos , and the parry that blocks those is useless. against someone who knows what they are doing and just taps away with the left stick for an automatic sprawl even if you shoot mid combo. ea needs to tone this down and fix it. slow down the speed in which these button spammers can swing especially off of being parried.

No doubt total control. I have yet to use classic controls, but honestly I don't want to. I hated it in the demo and wasn't going to pick this game up, but I'm glad I did. I'm having way more fun with EA MMA then I did with UFC 2010, and UFC was a great game so that tells you EA is doing something right.
