EA Sports UFC Patch Version 1.02 Available Now, Patch Notes Included

[fballturkey]

I actually thought cuts had been toned down after my first two post-patch fights but my third I and the other guy got opened up pretty good.

The stamina changes are really good. Honestly right now the only thing that is going to have to change for me to give the game an enthusiastic thumbs up is fighter AI. There are a few other non-gamebreaker things that will probably have to wait till the next game, but AI remains as the one big mark against it for now. Glad to hear it's on their radar though.

Fixed issues with framerate during gameplay.

Not sure about others, but for me, framerate (stuttering in particular) has become much worse during training (in career mode). It doesn't make things impossible, but it does get annoying - the stuttering strangely tends to happen when new instructions for combos appear on the screen, which sometimes causes the first set of button presses to be ignored. The game then picks up the second set of button presses, which gives you a red/fail for the combo set, and you need to start over. Getting a black belt/completing all the combos usually isn't an issue but then again I did just start a new career, so most of the combos are still fairly simple - I vaguely recall the conveniently timed "stutters" being quite annoying almost to the point of making you get a brown belt if they hit you a couple of times in a row towards the end of my last career.

EDIT: Just got to the "use movement and counter" training - the stuttering completely screws up this training.

Second thing I need to vent about is the career damage - How exactly is this calculated? As I've mentioned in another thread, I seem to end my career on 40 fights regardless of how I fight - defensive, or robot sock 'em style.

I'm glad someone else posted this. I've had this issue since day one and still after the patch. I thought it was just me and maybe something was wrong with my PS4/hard drive because I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else.

I get random "lag spikes," or I guess "slowdown/stuttering" is a better term for offline play. I can't tell if it is a framerate issue or if it is an issue with streaming information from the hard drive (juddering).

It happens a lot in career mode training, and occasionally in fights. Not all the time, but randomly like sometimes if the ref stands the fight up and right when we are about to go again it gets choppy for a second on two the goes away.

I'm really paranoid about having faulty hardware, it happened on my stock hard drive, on my hybrid drive, and on my current standard 1.5tb drive. Maybe my systems RAM is failing?

I'm on the stock hard drive.

Weirdly, the frame rate stuttering/jerk/pause (insert whatever you want to call it here) is much, much worse during training... when it "should" be worse during an actual match since there's much more going on. I really doubt it's anything to do with loading anything off the drive/RAM unless the "images" for the combos you need to do are 5GB for each button.

Also, during the "movement and counter" training, there aren't any "press this button" prompts... so technically there shouldn't be ANY stuttering here.

I really have no idea what it is... maybe it's just the PS4 getting too hot? I'll take closer note the next time I play career (I think I'll take a break for now - just got through my 3rd for experimentation on the career damage and created a spreadsheet just for it) and try to find a relation between the stuttering and approximate PS4 temps (or rather time the PS4 has been on). I should mention that I live in a tropical climate - so I'm guessing the PS4 starts out hot and just goes to melting point after awhile.

I think there should be an added animation to where, if someone throws excessive modified hits and misses, they should put their hands on their knees, bend over and gasp for breath. Thereby making them susceptible to an open attack.

Also, and this is very similar to FNC, it seems like you get stuck in mud when you stun someone and try to finish them off. It's almost as if they can move faster being stunned than you can.

Finally made it to red belt division. Honestly never thought I would. I usually go 5-5 in black belt. I've played over 300 matches so the patch is a win in my book.

Just beat the 36th best in the world on ps4. What the hell is going on?
