Need more competitiveness for this game
 

Im talking about hosting E sports events like madden is doing, there is no reason why a mma game should not have this. I mean its a fighting game it should be a huge success at E sports, even if you will argue its simulation or arcady, does not change the fact that it can be done.

Would love to see EA put up some money and have us fight in multiple weight classes, maybe like 1 person picks weight class the other gets first pick on fighter choice, but just in general speaking, the game is in good enough shape that this can be pulled of pretty easily, it would be a draw and it would produce hype.

I know there are other leagues who have hosted similar things, but its completely different when its official and done by its developers.

ye i used to be big into madden but now switched over to ufc- madden have tournaments going weekly and theres a real madden community with that game

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

They already did 2 LEC's with cash prizes. Its just a little late in the games cycle for more, imo. Especially because UFC3 has already been announced.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this ufc 3
 

sorry for having maybe a misleading title, i was talking about upcoming UFC game, i would like to see a lot more competitive aspect being brought in from the devs, much like the ea madden series for real money. That stuff being streamed and casted is just fun to watch and brings tons of views and tons of hype.

Fighting games like street fighter made this competitive aspect, and no reason why a 2018 ufc game should not have a large competitive tournaments going on like madden, ea has to invest some cash to get more out, would be super cool to see no doubt about it.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

I like the idea in theory, but in reality it just sounds like a way for EA to give kinetic more moneys.

Shhhhhhhhhh :wave:

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

Its a new game, Dave. That new striking system is going to be a learning experience for everyone. Like most games, after a few weeks or months the cream will rise to the top but it will be interesting to see how the new system affects everyone.

FYI, there is a rumor going around that a UFC fighter and a top player played an very early version of the new game and that UFC fighter got a couple of wins over the top player....there is going to be an adjustment for all of us.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

1st, you should look into EFC. Best League around. Great community over there. If your looking for more competitiveness out of the game, joining a league will do just that.






Also, all the teases over this new striking system has me extremely excited..

Im gonna be bobbin n weavin, and slippin n slidin, and counter striking eveerrrryone.

Y'all better start practicing that headmovement, cuz i'm comin for yaaa!

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

This was not me and it most definitely was not versus Dennis Bermudez.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

If the striking is headed in the direction im hoping/thinking it is, we can alll say goodbye to 10+ strike Killer Instinct combos.


Thank the MMA Gods.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

If the striking is realistic this time around, lots of players are going to get exposed. Hopefully the parry system is better too and it doesn't give them the easy route to offense it does in this game.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

THIS.

I am gonna be SO HAPPY if we get what we've been waiting for. I was never around during the golden days of EA MMA, only caught the tail end of UD3 online and stopped playing that ****show that was EA UFC 1 6-10 months after release and went back to UD3, EA UFC 2 is my first game where I've been good at it and super in depth with mechanics and up to date with all the news and discussion.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

It would have been cool just to have the LEC for just entertainment everytime there's a ppv. Even if it wasn't for anything but UT cards. Just having that with a leaderboard would have been a nice touch.

It could have been something a lil different then ranked. Almost like how the tournaments were every saturday and sunday for UFC 1. They could even have kept a full time leaderboard for the LEC to know how many wins overall you have and what your Avg. fight time is.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

It would take something like more prizes for more players for me to really care about another LEC.

Say everyone that gets 35 wins get a digital coupon for a free blizzard or frosty. I could really get behind something like that.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

One thing that also still worries me about the striking is the striking speed when a fighter is out of range. All of a sudden fighters are striking like they are stuck in mud, whether they are quick or not. This has to go imo. Fighters don't just magically become slow cuz they are out of range. With all the talk of revamped striking, I hope this hasn't been overlooked. Realistic striking speed needs to be in place.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

This can be somewhat played around by utilizing lean striking, and dash strikes, which both give a speed boost to your start up strikes.

This got me excited. [emoji476]

Yh I noticed this a while back. Certain strikes seem to come out faster when you use the head movement. I just dash most times. But I feel like that sluggish striking when out of range is something that needs to go in the next game, cuz it ruins the feel of strike speed and gives advantages to guys that run alot. For example if you rock a guy and that little quick walking mechanic or finish the fight doesn't start up, you can't swarm him with strikes cuz if you try you will be throwing these stuck in mud strikes as he walks back rocked. Idk who at EA thought it was a good idea, but when you look at it, fighters are not slow just cuz they are out of range. Their speed will be the same if they are in range or not. I feel like that's more how a tired fighter should throw strikes.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

If the rumours are true I can tell you for a fact that fighter wasn't Ronda Rousey

How every Haz__ fight is gonna sound like in EA UFC 3:

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

Thing is with these combat sports games...despite the new learning curves and all, I used the same strategies. Whether it was fight night, Undisputed, EA MMA, ect. My same strategies always worked with all of them except EA UFC and it was cuz it wasn't realistic enough. And despite that, I still was able to make a style that worked. So all i'm really hoping is that it's more realistic.

Re: Need more competitiveness for this game
 

After getting to go toe-to-toe with Haz last night in some awesome fights, I can't wait to see what we can do with this new striking system.

I think it's interesting how two people can have totally different feelings about the exact same fight. I just fought a guy using Gamburyan and he had Tony Ferguson. First minute or so of the fight the guy keeps moving backwards and throwing primarily body kicks. I wasn't having it. I just bulldozed forward the rest of the fight and tried to pick him apart. He ended up catching me, but he messaged me something about being trash because I pressured and body spammed.

First of all, I'd never touch the guy that fight if I didn't apply pressure. Plus, effective pressure is smart in many cases. Secondly, I didn't body spam in the least. He left his body open a lot and I took advantage of it, but there were no machine gun spam combos or any nonsense like that. I varied things up and I was trying to work his head as well.

I just found it funny. I sent him my standard disrespectful message back in response and hit the block. Not in the mood for a back and forth with DatBRazykidd516 lol.

I can vouch that Pappy got hands, and he don't need to resort to no cheese.:boxing:

I swear I've gotten messages from that name before too. That just looks so familiar. Haha.
