I don't really think the us vs. them attitude is very helpful. Each community brings something different to the table, OS seems very single player and sim oriented, the official forums seem to be have a very competitive online gaming bias, /r/MMA is obviously the hardcore MMA crowd with less of a gaming focus overall, and /r/EASportsUFC is a mixed bag drawing from many communities, but seems to draw in more casual fans, perhaps because of the lower barrier to entry. And of course there is cross over through all the communities.

Drawing feedback from all those places is healthy, and as long as the feedback is articulated well I'll always give it the weight it deserves.

I wasn't trying to imply the us vs them for future patches. You can not deny that we on the official forums were pretty much ignored for the most part can you?


Not trying to insult you or anything. Just stating what I felt occurred and that this last patch was received a lot better than patch 1.02 was it not? I know the sweep from guard changes made an already unbalanced ground game completely unbalanced.

This.

The main difference between the forums is the primary focus (online vs. Offline/OS) and the aggressive modding at OS. I look at the EA forums and I find it difficult to easily determine what is an issue and what isnt. On the same page you will sometimes find a long thread praising one change and another thread calling that same change a game killer.

Anyway like I said, if this is something that GameplayDev is interested in, I would love to provide it and insure that the posts here at OS are constructive and articulate. I dont care if devs go to Redditt or EA Forums or Twitter to get more input just as long as the input here is equally valued.

I'm not denying that the official forums were ignored, they were and that was my fault. And there are a lot of really intelligent and articulate gamers on the forums (much more than I expected to be honest) who have given amazing feedback and ideas.

But the feedback I got on reddit was really good as well, especially in the first month. Reddit seems to be all but dead now however, and the official forums have had way more consistent activity.

All that matters is that you are there now, and this game is better than it has ever been. It is amazing in fact. At least from an online gamer's aspect. At least this online gamer.

This. One of the main reasons I post here is to help make sure that the offline gets the much needed attention it gets. Hopefully with sliders. As well as Event Mode. Not to mention trying to keep changes specific for online and offline.


Offline gamers make up the majority of the player base. When you look at the online numbers you can see that it is the most used aspect since the "Online" numbers refer to the people signed in to the servers. Whereas the "Fighting Now" numbers refer to those actually in ranked, player, or rivalry matches.


I'm an online gamer, but I know the importance of offline for this series as they are the players who make up the biggest portion of the game's sales. Which translates into better games. Most people only care about what they like to play and don't look at the ramifications of one or the other.



I believe all feedback should be valued, and believe we are finally there in regards to that.

I had this incident last night, playing as Mark Hunt vs Roy Nelson. Roy got tired so he clinched me. While in the clinch I knee'ed Roy Nelson 30 times in a row to the body. Nothing happened to Roy Nelson. It was as though the knees to the body didn't hurt him at all. If it wasn't for the ref breaking us apart, I would have probably landed 100 knees to the body in the clinch.

I was thinking to myself, how is Roy Nelson's ribs not broken ? Shouldn't some sort of body shot TKO animation happen ? I was fully expecting Roy Nelson to drop, but nope, he just stood there holding me in the clinch while I threw Knee after knee to his body.

So that definitely need to be looked into. One shouldn't be able to throw that many knees to somebody's body non stop and nothing happens to him.

The only complaint I have is that the cpu parries too much on Pro. I'm still able to win, but now I'm resulting to waiting for them to strike so I can side step and counter. All head on shots are countered. and the cpu has no issue landing strikes off of counters, no matter how fast I block. And kicking is the same. I literally got taken to the mat 6 straight times while trying to kick. And yes, I did mix in punches. The CPU should use movement more and swaying to avoid shots as well, not just parry everything.
