EA Sports UFC Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (Xbox One, PS4)

[Phobia]

Wow the videos have really turned me off where I might even pass on it entirely. The computer lack of a pace really turns me off. This is the main reason I was turned off my facing the CPU in UFC 3 so if that element remains then I know I'll pass.

Having the CPU constantly push forward throwing nonstop is truly a game breaker for me.

On the PS4 and after 5 fights and 3 times retrying the tutorial:

-Graphics are insane! Cannot stress this enough. You know those other next gen games you thought looked good? Yeah well this one looks real.

-Transitions are a little blocky, feel a little stop animation at certain times.

-I find the submission a little hard to "relate" to. "The Shine" from previous UFC games had more correlation
to an actual submission. You felt that you were really overpowering your opponent. This one feels more like a separate mini-game of just guessing and pushing buttons to match the guesses.

-Disappointed that this is more way arcadey than all previous UFC and EA MMA. Thew like 8 kicks to the head to Jones and dude's still standing up. There are instances where it feels more of an MMA title (clinches, ground and pounding etc..) but the stand up is basically a beat em up (based on the demo).

7/10, still buying it.

Has anyone noticed every single time you stand back up from both fighters being on the ground the cpu always takes a wild hay maker swing?

Has happened every time just like people always did online on past games. Makes for a easy counter every time

No one mentioned how good the UFC girls look? Lol

Jones tried it and I countered him for the KO.

Someone mentioned that Ariany was scanned. Too bad Britney wasn't.

Here are my takeaways from the game. I played a little bit this morning before work.....

-The graphics and presentation look incredible. Like over the top amazing.
-The blood looks great
-I had a hard time with the controls at first like submissions and ground game but over time, I think they will be very easy to pick up on and get used to. Just practice.
-I absolutely hate the takedown and knockout animations. I got taken down by Jon Jones about 5 times by the backdrop and another 5 by the pick up and drop. You rarely see those takedowns in the UFC so I wish they would have chosen some other, more standard takedowns. As I said, also not a fan of the knockout animations. There is one or two that are okay but I hate the one where you get hit and then stagger for 5-7 seconds and then drop and you are out.
-It takes a sh*t load of damage to knock someone out (or atleast in my experience). I hit JJ with about 4 or 5 clean, solid, flush headkicks in the 1st round yet it seemed as if he was totally fine.
-The CPU was waaaaay too aggressive. It was as if I was playing someone on the other end and they were just mashing the buttons. In the full game, you can tweak the settings so hopefully this will help with that.
-All in all, I loved the demo. Aside from some quirky and off looking animations, I think the game played well and I can't wait to get the full roster and the other features of the game.

The sways people are talking about are the kind you see in Fight Night where the fighter uses only his upper body to avoid a punch.

Actually there was, you could sway with just your upperbody in ea mma, its just no one ever realy used it because you would get murdered by body hook spam. But they were in EA MMA. Just ineffective due to over powered speed and effectivenessof body punches.
