I have heard that the judging system was screwed up and broken but I was not expecting just how broken it is. I played against a friend last night. Awesome fight. No one could get an advantage. Even every round except the last round I dominated with 6 takedowns, 2 sub attempts, and also rocking him on the feet. I spent most of the round landing shots on him from side mount and half guard. Decision time I lost: 29:26, 29:27, 29:28. First of all how I could have lost the last round in 2 of the judges eyes is insane. Cecil Peoples wouldn't have even had my friend winning. The next problem is the first round a judge gave me a 7?! In an even fight! I even thought I may have won the first round. But I got a 7?!. Even more insane is one judge had me win the round at 10:9. Well hopefully it's patch cause this is a crazy judging system.

I have yet to go to judge's decision, though I came rather close a few times. I wonder if a patch could fix this issue as others have reported or if it is something that we must wait till MMA2.

From what I'm hearing from a very reliable source, the judging is will be fixed in the upcoming patch. No ETA on the patch's release date, but it is coming.

That is good news if it will be fixed.

Another issue that I have with career is that I wish we had a list of the rankings. I would love to choose my own opponent(s), but also be able to see which fighters are ahead in the rankings this way I can better concentrate on training in specific areas since 8 weeks may not be enough when you have an upcoming title fight. I feel like I get forced into title fights and would rather fight one extra opponent if I have to before taking the title shot so I can better train for the champ.

With a few fixes, this career mode can exceed expectations as it is very fun in its current state.

I am 12-3 in my career and those 3 losses were against opponents that I underestimated during the fight making stupid mistakes.

Having weigh-ins would also be nice for the sequel..........unless they are there when you get further along.

You can see the ranking of every league but only your weight class. Its actually pretty cool because at on point I was 5th in Mystic rankings, but #1 in the world. You can see the stats and fight history of anyone on the list. Just press the start button to get to your phone (same as if you were changing the difficulty.)

That is not too bad being able to see your class, would be cool to see all of them too. I've looked at the stats and fight history of my upcoming opponent(s) which has been helpful.......did not know about everyone on the list. I'll take a deeper look into the cell phone.

Just got this today and it's a lot of fun. Really enjoy the transition gameplay. Tons of quickly downloaded UFC guys too, really awesome. Gotta give it more time, but glad I got it.
