-Any word on if there will be a demo this year?
-Any word on arenas in this years game?
-Any cool little tidbits you can share like post-fight interviews or anything extra like that?
I cant answer the other two yet but there are two new arenas in this years game.

Cant speak on CAF details yet.

The KO option was in UFC 1. You can chose to KO someone and not follow them to the ground if you dont want to.

Hopefully CM Punk can be used in the welterweight and middleweight division.....

Just put EA UFC 1 back in the xbox after a year+ and it reminded me of some of the Pro AI's eccentricities. Played Nick Diaz against Pro Robbie Lawler and Machida against Pro Rumble.

From your visit, did you observe the AI throwing out combos when you're not even close to them? Is it still fairly easy to submit the Pro AI?

Can you speak about walk outs/authentic songs for some fighters?

I dont think I can. One, I'm not sure the music is finished and two, that wasnt really something I was focusing on.

Here is the issue with this question. In UFC 1, it took me a few months to become good enough at the submission game to consistently get submissions. Even now, I wouldnt say I can get submissions "easy" on Pro. It depends on who I'm using and how I am fighting.

With that said, I was playing on Hard and I wasnt getting submissions easily. The grappling system is different so setting up submissions feels different. You really have to think. In UFC 1, I felt like I could get to full mount rather easily with most fighters, wear down the CPU with punches and then go for an armbar or other submission. I never thought getting the actual submission was easy but I thought getting a dominant position was too easy. If the CPU tried to transition while on bottom, I found blocking transitions to be easy. I actually had to make house rules up (like if my transition is blocked I have to wait 3 seconds before trying another one) so that the ground game wouldnt be as easy.

In UFC 2, I have to gameplan what I want to do and thats slows the pace down. If I attack wildly with strikes from the top, there is a chance that I could get caught with an arm trap or swept or lose my position. I have to be equally aware about what I'm doing and what the CPU is trying to do. If I spam sub attempts and dont set them up, the cpu will transition and I will lose my advantage.

Now once I've successfully attempted a submission, the game feels similar to UFC 1 but it wasnt like I was submitting the CPU no matter who I used. For example, I had top control with a WW striker against a WW BJJ practitioner and kept top control for like a minute by pretty much grappling very conservatively. I think I was in half guard and I went for arm triangle just to see if I could sub him. I didnt have a chance. After the failed attempt, the CPU transitioned, eventually took my back and subbed me easily.

Now, subs may get easier the more I play the game and I didnt play with guys like Maia so maybe they are easier with a guy like him....but I didnt find them easy.

Regarding the strikes, I cant remember. Thats something I'll look for next time I play it.
