I was able to play through some additional matches of the full version of EA Sports UFC on the E3 show floor. By now everyone has had some time with the demo, so most folks have started to make up their mind in terms of where they think the gameplay is (or isn't). The control scheme is equally divisive, with many feeling that it's too complicated or alienating for casuals (a market that EA is clearly targeting). About the only thing almost everyone is agreeing on is the staggeringly good visuals, which continue to impress right before release.

Very good read. I'm excited for Tuesday, I've played all of THQ's UFC titles and enjoyed every one of them.

Demo made me avoid this game big time. Very hard to play and the controls are way to complicated as it seems that the controls from the tutorial aren't even working for me.

The controls are not all that complicated if you were willing to invest a couple of hours into them instead of giving up and then whining about it. They become second nature pretty fast after playing it for a day or so. I can't understand this idea that a game should be able to be mastered in one play sitting, where is the reward in that. When you sit down and are dog at a game but keep at it and finally find that moment where everything clicks, you feel badass and that is a moment I love.

I am glad the controls are in depth. In that regard, there is a great foundation here. Other issues with the game (see the retail impressions thread) hopefully are addressed in the next release or patched in during this games cycle

I think the controls need some work and I've basically got them down. I can see how they would be off-putting.
