First EA Sports UFC Gameplay Shown at GamesCom - Video Included

It looks good and I'm glad we got to see something. Much of what was shown was repeated sequences from various camera angles.

One thing I hope they do is give the aggressor the chance to pounce. Since these guys are behind Fight Night, that is a concern for me. In Fight Night, you can't really pursue your opponent by really moving your legs to cut him off and try and close things out.

This would be in response to a punch that lands and really rattles a guy. You should then be able to really take advantage or at least try to. The aggressor usually just doesn't sit and wait for the animation to end and then try another punch, or in the case of MMA a takedown etc.

I know it's super early but I saw that in that video. A quick punch or kick, the receiver jolts his head back while the aggressor just sort of waits.

EA has a tendency of taking singular moments (like David Tyree's helmet catch) and making them commonplace. I hope that is just trailer hype.

You nailed it! I really hope this game have sim first and foremost. EA tends to use accessible as meaning a hybrid arcade and sim game which in turn makes fans angry.

Still waiting to see how the game play on the ground. That will be the make or break. As long as the options are there for stamina.

Wow impressive, the facial expressions and muscle tension was great and the characters did seem to have weight. Maybe this Ignite Engine has substance after all.
