Man I can't wait till this comes on the PS3!!! Sounds like an awesome game!
Just had a great battle against Lashley. Lashley of course went for the takedown every chance he got. He got like 17/34 takedowns on me. I wanted to keep it standing up this match just to get a good feel for the striking. Overeem is a beast man!
The combos that you can link up in this game is amazing. I knocked lashley down twice from standing strikes. And Phobia you are right, the jab is crazy in this game. Very effective. But anyway, I knocked Lashley down the 2nd time and just unloaded on him!!!! The camera angle changes and it feels like you are literally a part of the action.
The only thing i'm worried about so far is that whenever I get the mount and start unloading strikes, the CPU just sits there and doesnt even try to transition out of it. I keep having to stand up because I dont wanna knock him out in the mount.
Man, I dont know how i'm gonna buy this and NBA 2K11....one game is gonna have to take a back seat unfortunately.

OMG I am having 3 round wars with Miller and Shields. They counter damn near everything and escape out of submissions, go for submissions, go for slams, it is a war with these two.
Shields tried to put me in a triangle choke, I picked him up and slammed out of it. Then I tried to ground and pound, he swept me. I went for a triangle and he slammed out of it.
Came second round it was more of the same, I went for the takedown and he countered with a gullotine. After a minute I got out of it. Then he went for an arm bar and I was like oh crap, took me a while to get out of that too.
We were rolling around on the mat for the whole 2nd round. 3rd round was more of a stand up. I was peppering him with leg kicks, while he constantly tried to pin me against the cage. I must say I am impressed that you can block knees to the body up against the cage with your own knee.
But anyway, I stomped on his feet a few times, which caused his stamina to drop just enough for me to trip him down to the mat. Started to ground and pound, then I seen something I wasn't expecting. He was kneeing me from the bottom. I was like wow you can knee a guy from half guard from the bottom ? OMG ! NICEEEEEEEEEEE
Truly you are not safe anywhere in this game. Why you can even get swept from full mount postered up. I also like the fact you can dodge jumping punches into guard. Shields tried to do that everytime I was on the ground, he tried to dive punch into my guard and I just slipped my head to the side and he hit nothing but the mat with his fist, causing him to take a stamina hit.
And like others said, these 5 minute rounds are long as hell. I swear one round on this game seems like 3 rounds on Undisputed 2010. Which is a good thing. I can't want to fight in 15 minute 1st rounds they have in japan.
Truly is a chess match. their is a counter to everything, you can be attacked from any position, so there really isn't a true dominant position.
Honestly if I having a blast having a ground war with well rounded fighters like Miller and Shields, I can't imagine how a ground war with true ground master fighters going to be like.
Well done EA, well done.

Isn't the striking great. It feels so good to be able to utilize the jab correctly. Then follow with powerful strikes.

So I will check it out and seeGiving close rounds, for instance any round in the Nog-Bader fight this past week, a 10-8 is absurd and such is what I've experienced in the judging thus far in EA Sports MMA. On another forum, someone mentioned getting a couple of 10-7 rounds, something unheard of in MMA, and rarity at that. I would really like to hear what Simon has to say about the way judging is rendered in the game, because something is off.
Let me state this again, the gameplay is great right now, just worried about the judging becoming a problem once we all get the controls down and start having 5-round wars.

Agh, can't wait for Vale Tudo and Japanese fights... gonna be so sweet to have soccer kicks and whatnot available. GREAT news that the rounds aren't sped up -- seems like they really went hard with the simulation angle, which is a great change from UFC, which was essentially a fighting game.
Can't wait to have some submission battles... I call Aoki!

I just got demolished by Lashley. He had me the whole fight and in the 3rd round he caught me with a hook, stunned me then an uppercut. I fell to my knees and he hooked me with a right to the head.
I can't beat him. I'm playing on medium too..lol. Lots to learn but very challenging.

Another thing I mgiht add is that so far, I haven't been able to do any cheese move. You can't spam anything in this game because everything you do uses stamina., even blocking, so you can't hold the block button all day either.
The more subs you do, the quicker you gas out for missing. Same thing with punching and kicking. You throw 4 strikes in rapid fire, your stamina going to empty out. You miss a strike, your stamina takes a hit, especially if a person sway out of the way, you take a even bigger stamina hit.
Sure you can keep a person up against the cage or on the ground as long as you want to, so far I haven't seen any ref break ups. However to keep a person in a certain position takes stamina. So eventually you going to be forced to do something other then just sit there or your stamina tank going to empty out and the cpu just going to sweep you and KO you with one strike because your gassed.
Pretty balanced game due to the fact stamina effects all aspects of the game. Put somebody in the muay thai clinch, you can only get off about 4 knees before you totally gas out. So people better learn to pace themselves when it comes to striking. You can't rapid fire any kind of strike in this game.
Same thing goes with ground and pound. Get into full mount, don't get happy and think you can just button mash. You will gas out if you punch too fast and get swept.

Guillotine counters - these are by hitting X instead of B to deny takedown, but it's a TINY window (once you are grabbed you missed it), and hitting X blocks your ability to sprawl or pull guard, so you have to really anticipate the takedown to do it (not every guy can, shields I know has it).

I admit it might feel unfair but there is NOTHING random about judging and everything you and your opponent do is clicked and counted very carefully, then fed into the judging system. It's sort of "luck of which judges you get" and what you like to do, but if you let it go to the judges (like the real sport) it can go either way unless you clearly dominated the fight. Based on our time with Big John and Frank Shamrock we introduced coded judge persona's that are behind the scenes to make it like realistic judging and it's why some judges will score fights differently than others. I promise there is nothing random, its just one judge might not like "lay and pray" and decide to give your opponent a round (like what happened in Miller/Shields last fight)... Others might call that "dominating a round"
Cant wait to play this tonight. Sounds like EA has got themselves a winner here.

What will be interesting too is how some want to see that brutal knockout and try and pursue that, making them susceptible to being the victim of that brutal knockout or a submission.
