EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

I believe take downs matter more then knock downs. But anyway, I was facing Alexis Davis and I was Ronda. I thought oh this will be an easy fight, I will just take her down and submit her. That chick made me tap to a twister. Had my world all messed up because I had no idea what was going on.

This game is begging for a Prima Strategy Guide. How are you going to have that many fighters in the game, with some of them not even household names and not sell a strategy guide that breaks down all the figher's strengths and weaknesses.

That is one thing I loved about the 3 THQ UFC games, each one had a strategy guide.

I'd say about 45 were "defended" while the rest he whiffed. Cruz' mobility contributed to that though.

They punish quitters, quitters recieve a loss but you don't recieve a win, I got a loss and a DNF when EA's servers dropped on me mid fight, but I never got a win when multiple spamming scrubs gouldn't get up from my mount, and quit.

In the fighter select screen in offline fights, there is a way to see all their attributes, and perks.

I will give you a legit answer, Scoring is similar to boxing, Winner gets 10 for the round, loser gets 9 or less. Scoring is based on effective striking, Effective Grappling, and ring Generalship. If you want the fight on the ground, can get it there, and keep it there, that is being a ring general, same, with wanting to keep a fight standing and successfully doing so. Different judges may favor grappling, others may favor striking, and some are just flat out morons, Best to finish if you can instead of depending on the judges to score a victory for you.

Also I was right about people online spamming attacks and every one usually picking the division champion. I cant tell you how many times i fought jon jones today as if people didnt get enough of him in the demo. Every match i played the opponent was holding either l1 or r1 for every strike all 3 rounds. This is why i like to play offline as the people I played today are more agressive than the ai in the demo.

Today almost all of my online games start on the left side, just what I wanted. It's weird that i have 7 straight first time online games where i started on the right side.

I got 1 dude quit on me when i do a submission and win the game...then it got disconnected right away just as i am about to win and on the menu...it shows no win for me...nothing changed. EA should realize that when it is disconnected, you should punish the guy whose connection lost (intentional or not doesn't matter) and not the guy who is still having great connection. I think NBA2K game did a good job of punished the guy who got disconnected.

In one of the games, i have a significant strike of 150%...that was a glitch i think. It's like 2/3 Significant strike, but 150%.
