Absolutely agreed.

To be quite honest, a lot of mine and a lot of other peoples disappointment comes from our own made up fantasy hype. I may want a sim and complain that it's an unrealistic game, but where did EA ever advertise it as a simulation experience? Never as i recall.

Until i actually read an official mission statement about the game and the intentions of the game play, maybe we should assume that EA/Dev's wanted the game to play exactly like it does now with flashy, unrealistic striking scenarios.

Only EA knows. Anyone from the EA squad or a Dev want to clue us in on if it's an Arcade, Arcade-Sim, or Sim?

flying subs need more than 2gates to finish..

This was on beginner for a reason too. This game is a joke when it comes to STU game.

Unless they fix it, I am not touching that game again... Unless I want to play some ground/submission game, where it shines more.

I'm a Jits guy, and love subbing people out in this game, but even I can agree that 2 gate subs are kind of unfair.

It also allows scrubs to just throw them out with no set up, or regard to stamina/ grapple advantage, and sometimes get a lucky win.

I don't agree, then there will be no fear in subs.

I for one love the flash sub rear naked choke and Flying arm bar.

I wish there were more 2 gate subs to be honest, and don't say it takes a noob to get subs, because I know skilled players that won't even tap from a 2 gate sub.

More flash 2 or 3 gate subs please and less 4 or 5 gate subs that are worthless.

Example is the dum arm triangle from half guard that is a 4 or 5 gate sub I think.

hahaha all you moaning about cheese!!! its so sad that because you are not the best or not at the level you think your at you blame the game and its developers. you moaned about takedowns n clinches being too easy, now its spamming body jab straights. everyone can be beat, and each fighter has a weakness. if you ask for something to be patched it will only make something else slightly over powered. so remember if you lose its not your fault, you were 100% the better fighter 99% of the time and its the game/this patch/other guy buying sad that was to blame.

In order to defend this game you must work for the developer or one of them is your bone head relative. For anyone to say this game is on the level is nuts. I don't know how it ever got passed testing.
I think the problem comes from the division they create between the strikers (spammy combo multiplier) and grapplers (transition block speed). They try to control too much of the game through these attribute numbers that just don't add up, instead of letting the fight be in the hands of the player.
For instance, if I get submitted I want it to be because I wasn't quick enough with the controls, not because some bum had a higher attribute advantage; that's BS.
One the same coin, if I land a beautifully timed uppercut, I want it to do as much damage as any over powered striker, KOing me with a jab.
Call it moaning, but some of us want the game to be playable.

I agree that somethings maybe overpowered (I would say boxers jab and physical base stats atm) but if your a boxer and you mess up and it goes to ground you should expect to be in for a bad time. but if your not a boxer and you stand up against one you run the risk of being one punch ko'd at any point... what your saying about the attribute influence is ridiculous, its a computer game. go play ranked heavyweight its jon jones vs jon jones that way theres no disadvantage to anyone and you can live happily ever after.

MMA doesn't work that way. All fighters are different. Yes, they have specific disciplines, but it's not black and white like that.
Every fighter is different and anything can happen. But when the game locks your fighter in one way or the other,, it like decides for you what kind of match you need to stick to. which is total BS

Fix the pathetic body rocks ffs. One shot can mean a body rock in where you can't block your head or body and it allows the guy who rocked you to get an auto finish. It's a worse version of the death rock on UFC 1.

Body rocks do feel super random. I'll be slamming body kicks into guys at the end of nasty combos, and nothing.

Then a guy throws a jab - cross at my body, and BOOM, flash rock.

Uh.. Whut...

Got finished like that a few days ago and just laughed because it was so dumb. I think he was using McGregor and he pretty much did the spinning kick to the body the whole fight. I was blocking and avoiding the good majority of them and destroying him on the feet in the process. Last round he manages to connect on a random one. Health event. He hits the body some more. Game over. I was like "WUT?"" Lol.

Hey Pappy, that avatar is awesome. What is that from, or where did you find it?

# 354 JRed529 @ 05/07/16 03:26 AM

The game is amazing. Keep it up Devs!

# 355 Haz____ @ 05/07/16 01:36 PM

I think you just need to..

Extremely well put.

You're crazy.

You're entitled to your opinion, but I respectfully disagree. The game is not perfect by any means, but is definitely amazing, at least to me.

by far the best mma game ever despite all its faults,with more patches this claim will prove true.

Just went back to undisputed 3 which i used to love but now feels so robotic and the ground game is very average but it still has some better cage moves in some positions,also don't claim that undisputed 3 didn't have it's faults,i remember smashing the AI at times and you could bet on the CPU knocking you out with one punch.

Mike Tyson's Punchout. Unfortunately, everyone from Twitter has suddenly started rocking it too lol.

# 360 rob3563 @ 05/10/16 03:40 AM

I am a martial artist and have followed the ufc for 23 years and i say EA UFC 2 is by far the best mma game period even with its faults and will improve with patches i am sure. I have had more fun with this game than previous UFC games including the Undisputed series even though i do miss title mode and Pride but still prefer EA UFC 2 gameplay more with far better movement and animations along with a great ground game.

I have been playing offline on hard with all huds off for the last 6 weeks and have never turned the huds on again making it much more realistic not knowing your stamina levels and damage. PS- pro difficulty is rubbish i hope the devs fixed it in the next patch because HARD is way better AI wise.
