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

[DaveDQ]

I like that you can evade punches, but man they need to adjust the stamina to where, long and short term, if you throw heavy like the CPU does now, you pay. It is just too forgiving right now.

I'm seeing the CPU throwing several shots in a row and then easily slipping into a modified punch or kick. I am even seeing the same punch output followed by a strong takedown. That is crazy.

Was off yesterday and after some cleaning I played hours of UFC. The more things you learn the more fun the game will be. After a couple of hours of playing against the CPU. My roommate (occasional gamer, Fight night lover, button smasher and special move spammer) grabbed a controller.

1 v 1 He has Jones I have Alex. Granted by this time I have at least 70+ fights to his maybe 5 vs the CPU. I out strike him technique wise, but he spammed axe and wheel kicks with 2 or so punches thrown in to KO me in the 1st round.

Throughout the night I won about 85% of the fights and learned far more about the game than I could've playing the CPU.

I love the game and it's definitely a day 1 buy.

My gripes:

- Special moves: superman punch, flying knees and "spinning sh*t" don't affect stamina nearly as much as it should.

- Fighters shouldn't be able to power slam their opponent while gassed.

- punches thrown while on the ground are a bit stiff for my liking.

Sidenote. I know ppl hate how anyone (assumption) can do kicks, knees and punches off of the cage, but man is it a blast to set my roommate up rocked near the cage and finish him off with a flying knee off the cage.

I can't get over the ref not stepping in to stop the fight. It takes away so much immersion to me.

I played it a lot more and and warming to it as well, but the controls I hope they patch or something so that we can map them our selves. R1+(right kick) is Gus's leg kick, but (back+rightkick) is head kick, (back+L2+right kick) is body kick ... it just doesn't make sense, and is inconsistent when you consider a bunch of other commands. controls like ufc3 I'd rather, nothing=body, L2 = leg and L1 or r1 =head, and translate that to the thai clinch as well,

Another graple control I wish was that sprawl was the RS alone and not + block since it's a different action and not intuitive for me

The punching is a lot better though.

What's really strange is how the cpu opponents behave changes DRASTICALLY every time I boot up the game. Sometimes it's a kicking-gallery show-off and other times a little more boxing/take-down more chill.

I'm completely on the fence. I mostly do career and sp fights using guys I enjoy watching in the ufc like cerrone, kampmann, gsp, rua, silva, shad, belcher, rumble etc.

and to piggyback on something Hiro just said about stamina, I noticed Gus's overhand right drains it substantially more than most moves - i'd have to check, but maybe more than his cyclone kick (which he shouldn't even have)

You are gonna have to let that go. Only one mma game has ever had that and that was UFC 3. Also the ref does step in on tkos just not kos. You could end up missing out on a good game because of a small thing.

2 ways:

Get to north south and let your opponent get up to his knees. You can transition to back mount from there.

From full mount, your opponent may give up his back to get out of full mount.
