This guy had a good record with a ton of victories via sub. I'm sure he frustrates a lot of people with these tactics and then they gas themselves out when they're on the ground.

Last night I ran into a completely different person with the exact same matchup. He tried the same tactics, only he wasn't as successful. I listened to him bitch the whole match through the tv about how all I was doing was jabbing him in the face and how he couldn't take me down. I had a good laugh during that one. He was something like 110-14. Felt good to give him that L.

This impression is for folks who are intimidated by the control scheme (submissions, transitions, or the ground game general).

This may sound silly, but I mainly bought this game for the KO mode (kick boxing mode); for those of you that have read my posts on the boxing forum or spoke with me knows that I am huge boxing fan. So I assumed that the KO mode would scratch that itch that misses a good boxing game (which it has).

So recently I decided to dip my toe into the exhibition matches against the AI which allows the full gamut of stand up/ground game.

Without even going through any tutorial or skills training I found the controls and on screen pop ups very intuitive. I find myself doing all sorts of position switches when I'm grounded or in a clinch.

I even learned how to get submissions and how to defend or cinch them in pretty easily. So OSers whom may feel that the previous UFC games had an unintuitive control scheme, in many ways this game has fixed that.

Happy Friday and gaming folks.

I will never be a fan of the submission system and clinch system. I just don't like the delay it takes to do things in the game. If I want to do a submission, just let me slap it on INSTANTLY. If I want to do a take down or judo throw, let me do it INSTANTLY. Same thing with transitions.

All this hold the stick in one direction for 5 seconds until the meter fills up just annoys the hell out of me. Kills the fluidness of the sport.

Just beat a dude who was 150-19 for the belt. His longest defense was 31 fights. He hit me with a good fight message and told me he'd see me again. Nice to see that all the top dudes aren't savages lol. Good way to start the morning.

Just scored my first online submission victory via an armbar with my lightweight fighter in UT. Felt good. My opponent only wanted to tangle on the ground. I'm still not great with the ground transition system, but I'm getting better. Still a complete newbie to the clinch game (but I've gotten better in that area too), also.

I'm loving this game in every aspect. There are the tae kwon doe spin to death dudes, ya but if say half the time I'm fighting somebody with a knowledge of mma.. Ground game is just practice, jits in actuality is just reaction to your opponent and setting up transitions with feint transitions was genius to put in.. The annoying dudes will fall off once they get patched or people start getting really good ground games.. and things will be perfect.. Psn doesHelikeit56 to play someone who promises they won't be Jon Jones of you won't lol
