I quit the tutorial early and Dana White yelled at me. Hardest I've laughed in a long time.

No way! Really???

Here is my first match. It actually was the best match I have had so far. I was trying to time my swaying and counter punching, my ground game sucks though. Need to practice more.

15 fights of playing, this is my reaction. I should have known.....

The takedowns are terrible. There is no sprawling, even EA MMA had that. So every takedown is either shrugged off or goes into a pick up slam or a single leg pull down.

Instead of developing better animations for takedowns they spent their time wisely giving Gus this move

I am quite worried that every fighter will have a similar move set. Just because Bones and Gus are LHW's and have a similar build and reach, doesn't mean they have the some moves. I saw both Bones and Gus use the cage to do a "Showtime Kick" during my time with the demo; Come on now.

The animations remind me a little of Backbreaker + Facebreaker. Kind of wonky, and disjointed.

I am still holding onto hope for the retail version. But, I am concerned.

There's a lot of "the sky is falling" posts in this thread, but I really don't think the game is all that bad. If there is no variation in CPU tendencies in the full version of the game on different difficulties, I'll have more of an issue then. For now, all I see is a fun MMA game with a few missteps that I can overlook right now. I think the basic elements of combat are represented fairly well, honestly. It's not exactly a simulation experience or anything, but I wasn't expecting this game to change my life with a first time effort. I don't know, I still really want to play the retail edition and see how it compares to the demo. And I also want to see how good this is online as well.

Probably just generic move sets for the demo and to show off some new kicks.

good thing this demo.came.out....it saved me from purchasing day one. I'm sorry there is.no.sugarcoating this gameplay.this demo is a TERRIBLE representation of the ssport called MMA.

I played 5 matches and so many things wrong with the gameplay and if the gameplay is bad even.with great footwork, photorealistic graphics and fluid animstions, game will STILL be bad. this demo has no.redeeming qualities....of all the 3 ufc thq titles and EA mma, this demo ranks dead last if you grade it on the basis of mma representation.

1) cpu over aggressive
2) stamina is too lenient
3) same strategy throughout the fight and same ai for both fighters.
4) heavy strikes dont do much damage as the fighters have solid steel chins.
5) takedowns are a bit unrralistic (.slams)
6) no.standing jabs....so reach advantage pretty much negated on jabs.

NUMBERS 1-4 are the critical flaws for me...

it's just a very disappointing demo and i dont see myself playing it again.

My only hope and I am.clinging to this hope....is that numbers 1-4 are much improved in the final version and a raise in difficulty will result in smarter AI instead of being MORE aggressive ( which is what usually happens in EA sports games).

I still have a glimmer of hope....but to be honest, it's just probably wishful thinking.
