EA Sports UFC 2 Game Update 1.09 & Content Update #6 Available Now - 4 New Fighters

[rob3563]

Tyrone Woodley has not been changed to champion for update 1.09 whats going on.
Also Valentina Shevchenko has not been given a stats update even after outclassing Holly in striking and is even stronger than Holly in the clinch to takedown which should warrant a stats increase,she will probably be the next champion if given the chance.
Bisping was made champion quickly for the game so how could EA not make Woodley champion after his great knockout,surely EA didn't forget,now we will have to wait for the next patch.

I believe the patch had already been locked when Woodley won the belt.

I took a long break from the game(2 months) and now i got to try out the patch. So far the patch is really good. I find it much easier to knockout someone on the feet. Especially if i rock them with a good shot. The stand up is much better now.

One of the things that i hope is being worked on next is the parry. I feel like its too easy to parry a shot. And people like to use it often bc there is no real danger in spamming it. There is only a very short window when i can punish a missed parry. Since removing the parry isn't an option my suggestion would be to either increase the recovery of a mistimed parry or increase the damage taken if you get caught when you miss.

Good job on the patch though.

When I get parried its often because I'm leading with the same strike and not mixing it up. This is also an example of why AI is hard as hell to program and why sliders are needed. Just as recent as last month, people (some who posted in this thread) were complaining about how easy pro was and saying they preferred the parry fest that was Pro on UFC 1. People were openly suggesting that the Pro difficulty should be a God mode where it was extremely difficult to beat the CPU. On the other hand, you and others have complained that its too hard and unrealistic which is exactly the opposite of what others have said. ****, Big Cee just responded to your post saying the exact opposite of what you are. He thinks its too easy. The game needs sliders and I hope thats the case in UFC 3 because its impossible to create AI that pleases everyone.

Woah hold on! Let me make something very very clear, it IS waaay too easy despite the fact that the AI parry's anywhere i'll strike and mix up (and btw, feinting is not even doing anything in offline, the AI doesn't react to that as if it doesn't even happen, how is it okay to sell a game like that?? not to mention the clunky way of having to do it by pressing both triggers which doesn't allow you to mix it up in combos fast enough!! **** I do kickboxing 2-3 times a weak and IT'S EASIER TO FEINT IN REAL LIFE why isn't it like it's in Undisputed 3 by having block cancel out your strike??) back on topic, if I pick Damien Maia and fight an elite striker on Pro, despite the opponent parrying most stikes which cause my fighter to freeze, I will still KO ANY opponent on Pro, I am not talking about the difficulty! Hell I wouldn't mind even going easy on the AI I just wanna have a nice fight, but the parry's that basically take my controller away for a second every 2 seconds is annoying as goddamn hell... Rant over.. for now

I agree with every word. You know when I came from the EA forums I thought OS was full of guys like us who were all the way into offline play and gameplay immersion but most guys here just cares about gimmicks like the Max Holloway taunt (which is online only), stockton slap, colored trunks and stuff more than actual offline gameplay

I don't mean to offend anyone i'm just sad that you guys basically support offline being dead by praising these online updates so much. Yes I know, this update tries to fix the AI stamina thing, but that's like putting a cherry on top of a cake made of s.h.i.t

Since EA UFC 1 we basically don't have career mode, and as someone who's life was made so much better by the Undisputed series by starting different careers joining different gyms for years, this makes me very sad especially while watching live UFC events and getting the itch to play as certain fighters I watch but then being reminded of how broken the offline part of the game is.

Again I don't mean to disrespect the developers, i've no idea how development works, just saying that this saddens me too and Odion took the words out of my mouth so I just thought i'd say my piece too.

Nothing can match the adrenaline of online competition

that said --- my praise for the current state of online gameplay; which is pretty good; is definitely not an endorsement of the poor offline modes (especially career)

although AI is getting better....and Live Event Pick'ems and play-thrus are fun and a great addition to the series...offline still needs some major help in UFC 3

FYI, most of the offline guys are still here. The online guys post more so it makes it appear that there are more of them.

I guess I dont get what you expect people to do. All it takes is a quick search to see people complaining here consistently about the AI each patch thread. OS is part of the reason the stamina fixes were put in place. Part of the reason that the AI defends significantly better than it did at release.

I think one difference between the offline and online guys is that we are more solutions oriented (meaning finding work arounds) because we have to be. We know that the majority of the devs time is going to be focused on gameplay or online fixes. We also know that with EVERY MMA game, most of us have to use house rules in order to make the AI realistic and fun (Even UD3 needed house rules to make it competitive). We also are realistic and know that the AI issues arent going to magically get fixed by a patch.

All I ask for is improvement with each patch and we've seen that. It sucks that many people dont consider it a challenge on the feet or too much of a challenge on the ground still but until they get sliders (which allow an individual to tweak the difficulty to their personal skill), we are going to have these issue.

I'm hopeful that with the next game we will have more fighter individuality, styles and sliders to improve the AI. Until then, I'll continue to have fun with what the game is.

Pleased with the patch. I don't mess with a ton of UT or unranked, so I haven't gotten a chance to check out the meter thing yet. It would've been nice if they turned off your opponents HUD completely in ranked, but that doesn't seem to be something on their list of things to do.
