I see your point but lets try to be a little less aggressive toward the devs. From the TOS

VIP's

That's not an attack or insult at all. It's not aggressive, it's an opinion. Weird rules.

This was the one game i have been looking forward to and it seems like a total let down....hated the demo. I want SIM gameplay not arcade....and from the reviews of the final game has just confirmed this....not buying :-(

EA definitely has a highlight reel mentality when it comes to making their sports game. I don't agree with that approach, but I personally feel that this is their best sports title in a long time. Aside from NHL, I don't play hockey games so I can't comment there.

My first online ranked match, someone picked Jon Jones (shocking) and spammed all sorts of ridiculous kicks. He ended up knocking me out a minute into the 2nd round and to that point had thrown over 100 strikes total. Maybe it's my fault for not countering effectively, but it never seemed like his speed or power took a hit despite throwing so many strikes. So I never had much of an opportunity to get in on him.

My two exhibition fights on the other hand were a lot more methodical. My opponents actually played smart and fought at a realistic pace and implemented a real gameplan.

So, it seems like there's still something to be had here. For those who want a sim experience, it can still be found with the right opponents.

wow you guys ban people that quickly

i do think its rather silly i can give a leg "health event" and the guy has full use of his legs within a few minutes. 2 leg events and the guy should be barely able to move or throw his leg but i was still getting flying kicks ><

I think the reviews are pretty spot on so far, honestly. I think there are good things about the game and bad things about the game, and every review I have read so far seems to point them out, some more harshly than others. It's a pretty fun game. Not a 9 or 10 but definitely not a 1 or 2 either. When I look at metacritic and I read the summaries from the professional reviews I think they all seem accurate.
