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

[Gotmadskillzson]

I hit my groove. Pulled out a submission victory 5 out of my last 6 fights.

My favorite looking one, the Darce Choke from side control bottom:



Made Gustafsson go night night. Seems like Gustafsson is more vulnerable to the darce and knee bars. I got him to tap to a knee bar 4 times.

To play devils advocate, I think there is very satisfying payoff if you can execute something like the pettis/henderson showtime kick in the same context it happened in real life with our game, with the same setup and the same outcome. That would be an amazing moment. And given that our game will be what people are playing in the future when who knows what happens in upcoming ppv's, it's prudent for us to look ahead at where mma techniques are going and what things may come up in the future and give the user the opportunity to explore those techniques as they may very well show up as the next big highlight reel finish. Plus it's fun, exciting and that's what some people look for in the game. Is that payoff worth it given the drawbacks you outline? Certainly a subjective thing that different people will have differing opinions about. It's a debate that was had internally as well. Perhaps there is a better approach that gives more people what they want, and I respect where you're coming from on this. Know that moving jabs have come up many times throughout development and is certainly on our radar, but are not something we delivered for this year's release as you've already discovered. I wish I could give you a more satisfying answer than that, but hopefully this at least give you a perspective on way things were done the way they were.

can we map jabs to l1 on cafs as that may help a bit with the walking jab issues or are they just thrown so stationary that holding forward and pressing l1 and either punch button will have no effect. Are we even allowed to map any strikes to these modifiers or just forced flashy stuff as my evan tanner caf will have none of that superman punch riff raff. thanks in advance.

Jesus dude put the demo down

Lol I kid

I have had some rather awesome fights - however I find my fights are better when I am Alex. I can have fights go for 2-3 rounds

You think there is a more detailed tutorial in the retail game? Or am I just dumb for not understanding all it as of yet

You are not dumb and if you are you are not alone. I suck at everything non striking. I really want to get this game, but I just can't enjoy it. It's all user error but sadly the demo isn't making this a buy for me.

I really hope EA can sign a deal with Golden Boy promotions and make a next-gen Fight Night.

You're not alone swamp. I lefitimately feel pretty stupid because routinely, in non-striking moments, find myself unsure of what direction I am trying to push what stick and what button to press with it. I tend to just spam L3 to avoid ground or clinch at all costs at this point.

Just to clarify, this not a complaint about the demo, this is me admitting that I am not a skilled player at this game and am still trying hard to understand the mechanics.

I wouldn't get discouraged or write-off purchasing the game entirely. The demo has only been out for a few days, and we'll all have a whole year and then some to figured out the controls. I'm still having problems with the clinch and takedown (countering the takedowns and transitions in the clinch, specifically) games myself, but I feel like I'll progress enough to feel comfortable with them with time. Plus, it's just the demo. I'm sure things will be easier to figure out in the retail version, since I'm assuming the tutorials will be more in-depth.
