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

[The JareBear]

I think EA, in all their departments (maybe except Fifa), that sometimes, bad fights/games/matches whatever, happen. Gray Maynard vs Guida happens. Lawal vs Rampage happens. Not every fight is a barnburner. That kind of variation in games like MLB The Show make the experience for me.

Hopefully we get varied results in the retail version.

Yeah it is so annoying. Anthony Pettis does a kick where he bounces off the cage. Now, everyone can do it in the game, although it is a rare occurrence in real life. EA does great with big moments, like David Tyree's catch in the superbowl, but that only happened once as well. Now everyone does it. Classic EA MO.

I will still get the game, but I hope since the sequel will release in two years the devs will listen to our feedback, and look at our wishlist thread. Tons of material there for them to dive into. They seem to be proactive in supporting the game in between releases. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Even if Buffer didn't have time to do the voice work, EA could've easily and probably more cost effectively just cut audio from any UFC event and used it in the game and it STILL would've sounded better than it does in EA UFC. But that's just one part of my disappointment, and sadly there are many. I'm trying hard not to hate this game because just like Madden, it's the only UFC game we've got. Exclusive licenses are the true culprit with games not living up to hype. But, as I said, I will still buy it and I will still play it. I can only hope that my mind changes once I'm able to dive into career mode.

Buffer sounds fine in my opinion. He is calling a non title/non-main event in the demo. He's always subdued when he's introducing those.

On top of that, I just cant help but feel so many aspects of MMA are missing form this game. It's going to be very difficult to get over this emptiness feeling and really have this game draw me in. I'm very concerned. I really had high optimism for this game with how much positive hype it had, and EA does have a history of being able to talk a good game without backing it up. We can keep making the argument of it is only the demo, but there is a reason developer put a demo out, and it isn't to show you the flaws that will be corrected for the retail version of a title.

My only counter to this is EA MMA's demo was horrible but the retail version was much better.

Down on the scorecards, look for the AI to end the fight with a knockout or a submission. A smarter opponent equals a more challenging and unpredictable fights." Thats why I'll be pissed if its not different in the retail version.

That's would be great.... If.... The company making it didn't have a well documented history of literally making stuff up that is in no way integrated into the game in any way. Cuz that stuff certainly isn't in the demo.

Fingers crossed.
