Same here. I really enjoy all phases of the game--standup, clinch, and ground.

The only concerns for me are the AI and whether every fighter has the same move set. It's one thing to see Jon Jones jump off the cage, but if I see Roy Nelson doing a showtime kick in the game, I don't know if I can take it. I'm holding out hope that those two issues are just due to this being a demo.

I downloaded and played a few matches last night. I have to say, I thought that is was pretty fun. The only real complaint that I have is that some of the camera pans and when the fighters moved, it was kind of choppy...maybe even a bit laggy. Hopefully, it will smooth out by time the retail version hits the shelves. Other than that, I think that it will be a lot of fun.

I can see where people may think this is a button mashing, arcade, not a simulation type game. However, after playing a few rounds, I can also see where if you take your time to learn the controls it can make for a pretty precise bout.

I am playing on the PS4, by the way. I am downloading it to the XBOX One tonight, just to get a comparison.

I don't know if I love the ground game yet, but it could be partly because I'm still not familiar with the controls yet (even after going through the tutorials and watching the videos).

It could be that the fighters are both just really good at getting back to their feet, but I can't keep the CPU on the ground very long and on the flip side they can't hold me down either (This is probably because it's set to easy). When I'm on top, I'm not sure how to keep the CPU from just kicking me off and standing back up. Is there a way to block their transitions?

I remember in the first THQ's first UFC game the ground game was tough. I went through a career as a WW and did everything that I could to avoid Matt Hughes, because once he got on top, I couldn't get him off of me. In UFC '10 they ground game took a step back and you could easily get your opponent off of you with three little flicks. UFC 3 was in-between the two. I'm hoping that this game brings the fear back to the ground-game.

Other than that I really need to get better at stopping takedowns. If I'm getting hammered like this on easy, I can only imagine what the tougher levels will be like.

Thanks for the video. Gave me a better perspective of an actual UFC fight, as I'm not THAT big of a fan and never actually watched a full match. With that being said, I agree with you guys statements about me being used to the louder smack sound in older games which gave off the illusion of more impact.

I watched your vid, then went back and played a few matches and it was pretty close to the real thing. Completely changed my outlook. Not that it wasn't a first day buy before, but my excitement level is back up to 10 from probably around 7.

On another note, Phobia, that recent vid you posted was impressive. Looks like you're a sim guy such as myself, i.e you know how to MAKE a game play as sim as you want it to. With that said, there is NO equivalent to my simness lmao and that video only made me excited to show you a thing or two lmao!!

Hope ya'll ready, cause I'm going straight beast mode on the 17th and it WILL be incredibly difficult to win against me!!!!!

This makes me happy.

I finally played the demo. I must say, I really enjoyed it. I went 2-3. Once I get the controls down, it will get even better. I can't wait to play as the rest of the fighters.
