EA Sports UFC 2 Features Revealed

[Phobia]

Can you talk about gameplay mechanics yet?

If so I'll keep it short, how did you feel about the new grapple system, new KO physics, and is the new submission system as kickass as it sounds?

My highlights from the list.

Quote:

Knockout Physics System - A revolutionary new physics-driven hit reaction and knockout system delivers more visceral, more rewarding, and more authentic KOs than ever before. Every knockout is now unique, and finishing the fight has never been more satisfying. Next-Level Submissions - Surprise your opponent with a flying armbar from the clinch, or with a quick transition from a knee bar to a heel hook. The addition of standing submissions and submission chaining (sequences) takes EA SPORTS UFC 2’s grappling game to the next level. Dynamic Grappling - For the first time in any MMA game, experience the freedom of independent fighter control in every grappling situation.

Thanks aholbert!
Can you get more into the level of depth training camp offers?
Is it the same routine of performing in mini-games, earning points and then applying them to your fighter?

Thanks!

I can talk about it all actually. The new grapple system is equally deep and easier to for people to pick up. They have add over a thousand new moves/animations just when it comes to grappling. This is an area that you guys have had a ton of information about for months but didnt realize it. GameplayDev has been posting stop action movies of some of the new moves. Some of those clips have clues to other moves in the game like using the cage, arm traps and strike catches.

It all flows more naturally and looks more realistic. Its also more user friendly and easier to pick up with the new Grapple Assist Hud. For people who struggle to know what to do on the ground, there is a small hud that shows u what move will occur if you move in a certain direction. This feature isnt for the hardcore folks who know the game. Its for people who are trying to learn the ground game.

The new KO physics are good. Its true ragdoll physics so no more canned KO animations.

The new submissions feature goes hand and hand with the grappling improvements. They pretty much added things that were in UFC 3 like submission chaining and standing subs but add things like arm traps leading to a sub attempt.

I cant get into to much depth because I think there will be a blog about this in the next few months. Once I get the go ahead, I will have plenty to say.

Can you say if there are sliders or if we have the ability of edit ratings of the current roster?

Nice to get some info, but now I want to play it lol. Gonna be a long wait until release date. This writeup has gotten me more excited than I already was. Guess I'll just keep playing the first one in the meantime.
