EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I like being able to cancel transitions on the ground. I was able to wear out a guys stamina doing that and tapped him out when all his energy was gone.

Feints still feel awkward to me when hitting the buttons. I'm sure I'll get used to throwing them the more that I play.

I wonder if EA is going to update GameFace because it no longer works with browsers...

The striking seems to have more power (able to KO with straight punches, etc.), and the physics based KOs are awesome looking, although sometimes when you're throwing strikes at each other the fighters look like rubber, flopping around a bit too much. Blocking using both high / low is pretty tough, if you're trying to gauge your opponent and react accordingly, rather than just holding one of the buttons. Also, the weird thing where my fighter will switch stances coming out of takedown defense or standing up is still there... Overall, the beta is already a huge improvement over the first game.

I could be wrong but the ground game reminds me of MK. What I mean is in MK you essentially have to pick a character and memorize all their combos and moves. Same here on the ground. You will need to repeatedly practice with one fighter so you don't need the HUD and know exactly what he can and can't do from each position.

Exactly the gaming analogy I was going to post. I personally love this design choice.

They don't and man that jab and leg kicks are awesome with spammers. I'll jab a guy 5 times in a row while he's trying to throw a hook. It's hilarious lol.

Had 5 or so matches last night.
Guess I'm lucky. Didn't run into any spamming. GGs all around.

So as you are in the process of scoring a take down can you hold a direction on the stick to start going for an advancement on the ground before the HUD even appears?
