The stamina system can't quite handle Lombards 4 minutes of doom 11 minutes of boring gloom.

Is this game worth getting or not. I'm just a casual UFC fan.

Right now it is very much "MMA streetfighter" as a previous poster put it. If that doesn't appeal to you, then you should wait for reactions after the first tuner patch.

Rented it a week or so ago and really enjoyed it. From graphics to gameplay I really did not have any complaints, just trying to perfect submissions was tough at first. Probably going to pick up a used copy today after work.

I've had it with this game. The controls are appalling and unresponsive.

Why should you get knocked out on the ground because you are holding block and nothing is happening?

The ground game is terrible and the takedown game is so pathetic I just can't do it any more.

The next one doesn't need to be 'ufc for dummies' like this one.

You can't employ any strategy on the ground because everyone just spams transitions, and I hate it, because the decisions seem to favour takedowns but why go for the takedown if guys can reverse you so cheaply and beat you up because the transitions don't/won't register.

The most honest and realistic fights I had were in the first 3 divisions. There were close decisions, slugfests and good battles.

Then nearly everyone in the black division is a cheeser or body-shot spammer. Or best of all the guys who just walk forward, throw shots non-stop until you are knocked out even though you are blocking nearly every punch. Just terrible.

I think when you get into ranked online gaming, the higher you get, the more "win at all cost" will be the philosophy. I understand the frustration of it. I also would hold the dev team somewhat responsible. The game almost encouraged you to throw stamina to the wind.

But it's not all on the development side. There are guys on the leaderboards with already over 1100 fights in. If they address one scenario, that guy will find another.
