EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

[Steve_OS]

EA Sports UFC arrives today, some have downloaded the game already for the PlayStation 4. While we have plenty of early impressions from users that found the game early, we wanted to open up a new topic for everyone.

Play a few matches, play around in the modes, then let us know what you think.

This game is why I feel like every sports game should have a simulation mode for the most hardcore of fans and a mode that is more "inviting" for those that are casuals. I am no UFC fan, I much prefer boxing to UFC (mostly because I don't understand what is happening when they go to the ground). That said this game is fun, and I will be able to extract some hours of enjoyment out of it. I was on the fence about buying it after playing the demo, but I needed another game for my rotation and I am done with Madden. So this will fill in nicely with The Show and AC-IV.

One of my biggest issues from the demo has carried over to the retail copy. User stamina for me depletes way faster than the CPUs. The CPU can throw a 4 punch combination, mix in a kick and attempt a take down and have relatively little stamina loss, I throw 4 or 5 punches/kicks and I am wiped.

In my limited time it does seem like there are varying styles for the fighters. After watching Gustafsson attempt numerous takedowns in the demo, I picked a fighter with lower ground ratings (Michael Bisping) and in my fight with him he didn't attempt a takedown once.

This is all from a very small sample size, but I am liking the game better than I did the demo, even if some of the things I didn't like are still present.

Again, this is from someone who doesn't really follow the UFC all that closely and if I would characterize myself it would be as an extremely casual fan.

I've been so busy I have not even opened my game yet. I'm still kinda on the fence even though I really wanna try it out...

Wanna hear some more opinions from people on here

I'm fairly new to MMA games (only started playing the demo and UFC Undisputed 2010) over the past week, but I've been having fun so far. Have been playing as Liddell and going for the knockout. Coming from the Fight Night series, I really need to work on my clinches and ground game; submissions are out the window for me at the moment. Did I mention that it is awesome playing as Bruce Lee?

I turned off the HUD thing immediatly and it makes me much more focused than on the demo because you never quite know when a rocking blow is about to be delivered.

Also, the submissions really are great and I'm loving the new system.

The only real problem is what many have stated before me; the stamina which leads to fights ending really, really quickly. And I don't like using the accelerated clock because that made it feel like you could get rocked even quicker than when using a real clock.

Wish I would have got the codes to get those to guys early. Makes me wonder how long the career mode is because that's how you unlock them other wise

I'll probably do that first

If anyone gets an extra Bruce Lee code I would gladly take it off your hands. PS4
