EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

[nate1986]

Here's my review for the ufc game, the game looks beautiful and it plays very well if you find the right difficulty to make the fight fun, I don't do online so I can't review that I just started career mode and I don't get how you can up your training points, the lack of a tourney or event card mode is disappointing, maybe that's something EA can patch in down the road if this is an every other year title

I would give the game a 7.5 mainly due to the lack of modes to pick from, they need to add more fighters like, Ali bagutiov, dillashaw, ovince st preux, tyron woodley and some lower card guys to for punching bags

Solid game but it has some serious flaws. The AIs too aggressive although they do slow down further into the fight so maybe fix the stamina. They need to either eliminate cartwheel kicks and german suplexes or make them rare. Those are my only dealbreakers.

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.

This was the next topic I was going to touch on. Power take downs should be easier to block, not harder but I've noticed the same thing. I can block standard takedowns fine, but power "over the top" slams are extremely tough to block. This should be the other way around. Harder to stop a single leg, easier to stop a huge slam.

After jumping straight online last night and played 8 to 9 fights in ranked then another 4 or 5 against OS guys. The only issues I have encountered (other than the stamina), is these problems.

1) Sweeps far to easy
2) Stamina not mattering much for transition success
3) Power take downs far to easy to win
4) Transition speed not slowing down with stamina temp loss

Pro difficulty is the only difficulty for me where I have fun. Royce Gracie is the man ! Rousey can't take a punch. I find it quite easy to knock her out in the 1st round.

That is my favorite part of the game. Did a great job there.

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.

I agree... The pitch for MMAi was completely fabricated or it's not even in the game...

When Maia throws 396 strikes thru 3 rounds while only attempting ONE... Yes ONE takedown.... It is NOT in the game.

I won by unanimous decision just by watching him flail away every round. I threw 156 strikes and 4/4 on takedowns on hard.

Yeah MMAi is NOT in the game. If it is? It's abismal in every single way.

Side note.... If I see one more reverse suplex in gonna lose it. Literally the ONLY takedown the CPU attempts and it's nearly impossible to stop. I no longer even attempt power takedowns just cuz I'm sick and tired of seeing the same animation sometimes 7-8 times a match. So I stopped doing them. Horrible implementation, execution and context for performing them. Nothing positive to say at all about it.

Power takedowns should be reserved for fighters with a takedown of 85 and above and then should be slower and easier to block.

Awful choice. And full guard reverse to mount should be removed completely OR only available as an expensive move (1500 evolution points) with ALL ground skills over 80. No way that should be a skill every fighter has. And they all have it. Roy Nelson must have reversed me that same way 7-8 times in one round alone.

LAME.

I think I am more like mud right now. I think this guy as a little more depth that we think and I haven't explore all of it. I am still struggling on the ground and I haven't master the art of dodging and counter-attacking.

The game sure has it number of flaws but overall its a good foundation to build upon. I think the computer AI recovers much too fast stamina and has the chin of an cement wall at time while my fighter is a delicate as a flower. This could change over time as I build my fighter but right now I have to be on the defense and can't trade into a pure brawl without being knock out by the computer. I am trying to play a more defense minded style so I can bring that skill online where it will be the difference between being good/lucky versus great.

OMG I hate people with crappy internet speeds. I just lost because this dude was lagging so much that the game literally would freeze every 10 seconds. Grrrr.
