EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

Does anyone know how to keep your opponent from getting up? Everytime I take someone down online, they click the LS immediately and get out free. Any help appreciated, it's pretty frustrating

could the ref coming to an aid of a ko'd fighter be patched in? or would that not be possible

Game is Awesome for a first try. Menus are dark and drab but I see the reasoning everyone can see that graphics wise and animation wise this is the best representation if any boxing or band to hand combat video game ever made. Every match is different you can tell right after say 5 matches with different height players different weight players it's truly interesting and has made an uninterested UFC viewer a potential interested watcher if UFC matches. Well done team!

Played as Ronda, Silva, and Bruce Lee so far. I've won all my matches but I had a slobber knocker between Ronda and Liz C. She jacked up my leg, busted my eye open and knocked me down 3 times before the 2nd round :0. As soon as 2nd round started I busted her cheek open and she cut my eye open again lol we looked like two gladiators with blood everywhere. I eventually knocked her out during the last min of the 2nd. I gotta see if I can pull it up on Share. Having fun so far, submissions are still confusing though.

I take it back. It's not against just lee. It just happened again 4 times in one fight.

EDIT: this is just my opinion. I do not think I am right nor do I think anybody else is wrong. This is just my personal view, nothing more

I've played enough, IMO, to rate it now. I've posted a number of impressions as I have played already, I will keep this short. This "review" is only in regards to my HUMAN vs CPU experience.

I give it 6.8 out of 10.

It's fun, it looks and sounds pretty good, and I bet a lot of people will have fun online. That being said, it's not very realistic, much more arcade than sim, and it just gnaws at me constantly when I see things that just wouldn't happen in a fight. I know it is hard to program an accurate mma game, with the way fighters move, strike from different angles, and improvise game plans on the fly, I don't think it's reasonable to expect perfection in this area but I do think it can be a lot better than this. There isn't much of a mesh here, just mostly an arcade game that has real life techniques and some realistic mechanics sprinkled in there. I've tried really hard to notice but I just don't see that much difference between CPU opponents other than a few more takedown attempts. There's a lot more to mma than that. A few other design choices already documented in this thread trouble me as well.

They made the CPU challenging, but not in a realistic or rewarding way IMO. AI and stamina need a lot of work as well as some animations/physics. I enjoy learning the mechanics of the game and executing throws from the clinch and successfully controlling the ground, those are strong points for me. Sweeps/reversals are way too common tho.

For a first effort, it succeeds on a number of levels. I am sure casual mma fans will get a lot of fun out of it (I hope that doesn't sound condescending). I know some people who are real hardcore mma fans were waiting for this game to buy a ps4 or Xbox one. I hope they aren't disappointed.

It's good enough for me to look forward to the next one.

I was hoping to avoid online play but I might have to find a sim league since the CPU is just...."unoriginal" fight in and fight out, for lack of a better word.

I think sliders would have gone a long long way here. With gameplay sliders that work this game could easily be a 9
