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

[cabra1]

Anybody else having trouble blocking ground and clinch transitions? I feel like I'm hitting R2 and moving the right stick at the right time but I don't think I've blocked a transition yet in my 10 or so fights. Even in the tutorial it took a bunch of tries for me to block one.

Also I just discovered that you can sway by holding L2 and flicking the left stick in any direction just like in UFC 3.

I just sent a tweet to Corey (who wrote the hardcore impressions of the game for the site) asking him about the aggressiveness issue and if its in the retail version.

Downloaded the demo on X1, played for about two hours. I left it saying damn, this is a beautiful game. I'm not going to purchase it though. As I played, the same sense that I get with Madden I get here. Pretty game, but everything feels too organized and telegraphed. I don't feel the punches, take downs and the violent nature of it. To sum up, even though I am playing a video game, the game does not do much to persuade me that I'm actually there in a big fight. It doesn't do much to blur the line when it comes to the experience. Aesthetics, it does a great job, but when it comes to the experience, I don't feel it.

I'm actually seeing the physics part of it

Does anyone know how the reversals on the ground work? From what I'm seeing it is just using the modifier and quarter circle in certain positions. If that is the case that sucks because online is going to be flopping around like fish out of water. Guys should not be going from terrible positions to full mount so easy also.

I noticed this last night with me and bones trading reversals and it just didn't look right.

Didn't one of the Fight Night games actually patch in an alternate control scheme? I remember being surprised that an entire control scheme was getting added post-release. So that's something.

They did. That was the first year they used the right stick for Total Control Boxing and people complained because they were used to using the buttons for punches.

Just put together a sick combo really starting to feel the rewards for learning the controls the best I could
