Nasty uppercut on Jones

Just won my first decision. Wow!!! If I could just figure out the ground game I might be in business. I agree with the stamina issue. Needs more of a penalty

I got the ground game sewed up. I can control the CPU on the ground for most the round now (if they gas themselves). Stand up I'm solid now also using the strong blocks, weak blocks, parry, and sways. My big issue is stopping the take down consistently. I can only get it once for twice a fight even though I know the buttons it's such a short window (with these guys at least).

Video is processing to show what I mean.

I love the take down defense controls. My success rate at stopping them is pretty good. My standup is also on point, but my ground game could use some work. Probably gonna run through that tutorial again just to make sure I didn't miss anything.

After a few more fights, I'm liking the controls a bit better. I figured out how to knee in the face from the clinch, which is a very easy way to KO the CPU. Then I worked on the submission game, which is very difficult because I suck at mini-game type stuff.

I could do without the circus kicks, but I do like what I'm playing. The only real question for me is whether the CPU AI is good, so I'll be waiting for aholbert's impressions to decide whether I get the retail or just Gamefly it.

Alright me showing off some of the key parts of the striking game. steps, sways, strong block, weak block, and the parry system. I'm also picking my strikes and throwing pretty much what I want "most" of the time. I'm Gus by the way.

You will also see me fight the ground game in the first round as I keep trying to go for a sub from full mount but it would not engage so I'm not sure what is up with that. Then in the second round you will see me let the computer gas then completely maintain top control for the easy win.

^ Nice vid. I like the ground work in that second round. Just pre-ordered this through the PSN store, so now the waiting game begins.

I feel like we've yet to see a truly great MMA game. I've really played the heck out of the demo and I've enjoyed it. The basic physics of this game are really solid, so I think something special can be built around it after a few iterations. They definitely need to re-imagine the control scheme for EA UFC 2. There's a lot of fun to be had in just the demo version we have now though. Pretty pumped to get my CAF into the TUF house on the 17th.
