I must also say that last night, I had ZERO quitters. Does it get worse as you move up? I'm on the third belt right now.

Shouldn't have been a priority, should have just been standard.

The whole game seems rushed. They saw the options for offline play in UFC3 and yet none are in the game, not even an Event mode, which is already in Career mode is it not?

The game is just lacking. Not worth full price.

Ya I remember it prompting me to set that stuff. I figured I'd start on easier difficulty and then be able to change it while in that mode as I get better at the game. That's a pretty bad design flaw if you have to restart a Career mode just to change difficulty or time. I don't remember the last time I played a game that didn't allow you to change difficulty while in a game mode. That's extremely aggravating especially because you can only do Play Now fights for so long before you get a bit bored. I guess I'll just have to restart.

I acknowledge all the points you made and will take that feedback to the designers for sure.

I'd like to respond to this point in particular though.

Once you successfully block a sweep, you are supposed to get priority on initiating the next move. I don't know for sure if that applies to posturing up, it sounds like you're saying it doesn't and that may be a bug, but you should have first shot at initiating a transition, getup or submission if you queue up your request after successfully blocking your opponents attempt. It's not a window where your opponent is locked out from attempting after the move completes, but you get priority if you both queue up an attempt while the move completes.

Hope that makes sense.

Speaking of posturing up, I can get to the full mount, how do you posture up?

I noticed the ref stand up too early. There are times i was in control of the guy underneath and methodically try to do something about him and then the ref stand up....and i was like what the hell. Need a fix here.

You posture up by pressing up on the left stick, but you need enough stamina to do it.

You can get to mount by transitioning there from either half guard, side control, back mount, some submission breaks I imagine, a standing strike when your opponent is knocked down when you are past his guard, and probably something else I'm forgetting.

I really hope you stick around. Not only educating us but also taking feedback to the team. I think with a few tweaks with risk/rewards like takedown and mod strike, it can really make the game more enjoyable offline and online.
