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

[cdk10]

Just got my 1st win in 6 tries. Took Gus down and pounded him out.



Sure there are some things that could be improved on but game seems fun and enjoying the demo quite a bit. More than I can say for Watch Dogs....still getting the NAT connection errors. Just about done with that game. smh

The over agression from the cpu is a bit of a turn off. But it does make them easier to counter. Maybe on higher difficulties, they will counter more.

Side control is going to be a super dominant position, it seems you can only escape 1 way, so it will be very easy to hold someone in side control.

Submissions seem easier to pull of from more dominant positions. I finished the inverted triangle from side control a few times, but failed to finish the triangle from guard, or the kimura from half guard. It definitely took longer to get prompts to advance in those positions.

Early counter do appear to be in. A lot of the times I rocked or KO'd a guy it seems I landed an uppercut or an overhand as they were trying to connect.

The game all hangs on one fighter for me.....Machida.

When I get the game, he is the first fighter I will fight. If he is stepping forward constantly and aggressive I will flame Hayes and his team on every forum and social media site I can access.

The one thing that keeps me calm is the Foxsports.com report where the author while playing the full game stated that he had a hard time hitting Aldo with Mendes because of Aldo's movement. I'm hoping that the demo is tuned agreessive because thats what casual fans like.

One thing I'm seeing is that people who say "I'm not a big MMA fan" love the demo. People who are big MMA fans have issues with it.

Sure seems way easier to win with Jones or at least for me it does

I can't watch this with out being turned off completely. If the CPU portion plays like this then I will save my money. It will not be enjoyable to have every fight against the CPU be this spam fest.

Online I can't speak for but the way this looks is BAD to me

Same goes for about every game. People who are hardcore Ncaa/Madden fans see the flaws more than the ones who aren't

I tried the demo on XB1 last night and was disappointed. Something just seems a bit "off" about it. There were times when I would throw a punch or combo and it would wait to actually pull the moves off (animation lag?). Also, I remember doing one match and tried to go for a takedown and it took about 10 times for the game to actually pull the move off because the fighter just stood there like I wasn't pressing anything.

I hope this is just a case of "it's just a demo" but right now I'm not impressed. I'll try the demo on PS4 later to see if that makes any difference on how I feel since I was going to get the game on that system.

Just watched the video and it doesnt look that bad to me. Why? Because the guy controlling Jones is barely moving around and is willing to trade with Gus. Like I said before if you want to stand and trade with the CPU, the CPU will oblige in the demo.

What most people want to do is exactly that.
