+ Cant defend Jones' takedowns for the life of me.
+ Love the highlight package they show before a decision. Shows highlights of all three rounds.

- Typical EA BS: They dont read the cards at the end of a decision. They just say "The winner by Unanimous Decision: Jon Jones". Same **** has been in EA games forever. It was in the fight night series. It kills the drama of a decision.

- Crowd sounds great during a fight but is eerily quiet in between rounds and during the decision

I don't know why they won't get rid of that nonsense.

Anyway, I like what I'm hearing so far. Now if Sony would update their store

SMH. Why can't they change this? I have put that on so many wishlists.

Sony updates their store somewhere between 5 PM and 6:30 PM (EST) on Tuesday. We won't be getting the demo until tomorrow, unless you make a UK account.

Just make a UK PSN account. That's what I did and I'm downloading it now !

+ I saw somebody post on EA's forums (which I'm never going back to after release) that grappling was simple but it isnt at all. Once you learn how to do it, its actually kind of awesome. Its WAY more realistic than UFC 3.

In UFC 3, each transition took really one move on the stick. One move took you from side control to mount etc. In EA UFC, each transition is actually two moves. For example, if I'm in half guard and I do a stick rotation, you will see me use my leg to free my other leg to move into side control. The next stick rotation will move me into side control. Thats how it works in real life. Also, that first step gives my opponent a chance to react and block my transition.

Its also stamina based so if you have no stamina even if you block I can still advance.

Small praises/complaints:

- No touching gloves button. That was in EA MMA so no excuse for that.

+ figured out how to push someone against the cage and the cage work is well done. I was able to hold Gus against the cage for 2 minutes straight by striking and stalling.

- Cant even see the scorecards after the fight so I have no idea whether I lost 29-28 or 30-26.

-Brittney Palmer looks off but Arianny looks like she was scanned.

+ Lighting looks incredible. I really cant complain at all about the graphics. Interested to see if it looks better or worse on PS4.

- Dont love Jones being able to do a cartwheel kick.
