EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

[Anaxamander]

I'm having fun with the gameplay itself, but the whole experience feels rather... thin. I'm not really interested in online, and I don't want to take a fake fighter through career mode, so the lack of an Event Mode, Tournament Mode, or Title Defense mode really kills the replay value for me personally.

Aside from modes, the fighters feel a bit samey for my tastes, like ratings and movesets don't matter quite as much as they should.

GameplayDevUFC,

Can you give me a details on the winning stats. I don't understand how I lose. I thought Significant Strike is more important than take down and submission? Basically i feel like i dominate the match. I have more significant strikes and total strikes in EVERY ROUND and total rounds but % of significant strike is not as high as the other guy (but % doesn't matter i don't think...i mean it's all about how much you connect the hit, not how much you missed). He attempts take down more but why is that important than significant? I think he had one knock down...but overall i don't see how the judge make it a unanamous decision. It's ridiculous...i feel like the guy is playing scare the whole time avoiding Bruce LEE. All he want is take down.

I like the game so far the blood is so realistic. For stamina too work it has to be on the regular clock which is fine. The only problem I have is when I fought Machida with Evans. Machida is a counter striker but he just kept kicking and throwing bombs. I'd just wait for him to flurry than counter. Also I hate the reverse to the mount this rarely happens ever in real life. Other than a couple of things though I like the game. I want to feel like I'm fighting like I'm fighting against Machida or if you fight a wrestler he works to get the fight to the ground. I haven't played too much only 3 fights so I probably need to play some more matches.

The roster is pretty good just wish they had some of average tier fighters so you could see if theres a difference between fighting a GSP or an average fighter.

This means people waste their time playing a match without getting rewarded. 2) On PS4, it doesn't show the people you've Recently Met while playing UFC. How are we supposed to make friends on the game when you can't see who you last played? Those are the two biggest issues for me right now. Gameplay is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gameplay Dev,

Several things really need to be addressed.

1) Sweeps from full guard when on bottom to full mount is REDONKULAS!!! It is not that it happens that is silly, it is far to easy to score AND damn near everyone can do it. This should be for ONLY high level BJJ fighters.

2) Sweeps from side control to side control dominate. Yet again damn near everyone has them and far to easy to succeed.

3) Sweeps from north south, this one I give a slight pass with the animation played but it still is way to easy to succeed with and way to many have this move.

All in all the ground game becomes a back and forth sweep fest. Sure I can defend 6 or 7 attempts and let them burn out their stamina but they can continue to spam transitions where you are locked out of doing anything other than blocking the pass, eventually the ref will come in and stand you up.

As the stamina decreases the window to block pass attempts should be MUCH larger, plus the speed of their attempts should be slowed down by a lot. Currently it is so fast even with zero stamina you can't rise up and drop shots because even with you at full stamina and them at zero. The sweep transition is so fast, the moment you attempt to drop a shot they will succeed with the sweep.

Biggest issue I've encountered so far online.

To piggy back Phobia's comments, the window for the Power single takedown is too short. It makes no sense that its easier to block a basic single/double leg takedown than it is to block the power single.

This is especially the case online. I had several fights where I would block every basic takedown but the window was to small for me to block the power one. Please fix this.
