EA Sports UFC Gameplay Video - Jose Aldo vs. Anthony Pettis

[aholbert32]

Check out the latest EA Sports UFC video featuring a full first round of action in the Octagon with Lightweight champ Anthony Pettis and Featherweight champ Jose Aldo.

What are your initial thoughts after seeing the first real gameplay action from the game?

At first I wasn't feeling that intro but then it really started to look good and especially sounded good. The crowd adds to the excitement and everything seems leveled properly. The commentary is so/so.

I definitely see the speed of the game and enjoyed watching arms and legs not just pop back into place but sort of deflect off of other body parts. It looks like players gas pretty easily but I'm not too crazy about how quickly a gassed player shoots into a takedown.

To me this was a pretty impressive gameplay video.

Looks good. I feel like it would look even better if whoever was playing wasn't trying haymakers the whole time.

To me it looks like a good mix of arcade and realism for my tastes. I think I will have a lot of fun playing this game. Just from one watch-through, I do hope there is a general slider for "fight speed" as it seems things moved extremely fast paced. But other than that, I enjoyed what I saw.

movements look rather choppy to me, not alot smooth about it IMO. kinda a let down there. gameplay looked as choppy as it did on the last UFC game on ps3. they really need to work on making players movements look much smoother.

Soooo many thoughts:

+ Intros look incredible and looks like EA did a better job at these than THQ (better hardware but still)

+ Good to see Also can fight at LW. Hopefully GSP can fight at MW too.

+ So many little things going on in the background. Ring girls going around the octagon during Pettis' intro. Aldo's corner going crazy in the background during the fight.

+ Love the amount of leg checks and love the standing elbows.


+ Love that stamina has a real effect. Pettis gasses because the person contolling him was throwing strikes non stop.

- Didnt love some of the takedown transitions. Looks like they are missing an animation as players go from sprawled to upright a little too quick.

- The Aldo slam into side control was a little much. Dont see that much coming from a straight double leg from a guy like Aldo.

That looked good to me. The intro was great. The crowd and atmosphere is freaking nuts. Obviously the guys were throwing alot of wild punches sorta spamming the stand up controls but I could see the potential for when you play a little smarter. IMO this is the most impressive graphics ive seen on this gen so far. Already got my pre order in, cant wait to get this game. I'd like to see a vid with more technical players who explore the ground game.

The movement is slower at the higher weight classes FYI, its been confirmed by other off screen footage this morning. Also, watch it on youtube in 1080p, it's amazing.
