Two different focuses. The WWE team's focus is offline: WWE Universe, more CAF customization, Road to Wrestlemania, Sliders. So they have things that I would love to see in a UFC game like custom music, Universe mode, Create an Arena

The UFC team's focus has always been on online. Thats why they had the Alpha to make sure that ran fine. Thats why there hasnt been any significant offline changes in two versions with the exception of Event mode (No new arenas, CAF is pretty much the same, very little customization). More people play this game online and thats why they always focus on that part of the game.

Thats a new animation and its technically a reveral.

I think this will be in to a degree. Even in 2010 Hughes went for take down after take down where Fighters such as Chuck Liddell tend to stand and strike.

The issue was that ALL of the fighters pressed coming forward 100% of the time. There was never the sense of the CPU playing defensive or fighting a counter type of fight. So while they did things such as "takedowns", "clinch", or "Stand and bang" that was about the extent of it.

I see your point but dont underestimate the effect that stamina will have on that. Pay attention to what happens to Silva near the end of the round when he's not at full stamina. I swear the last few times I fought him he didnt press forward after his stamina dropped,

Its frustrating to me too though. I noticed the same thing with strikers on EA MMA on hard level or above. Every fight they throw a overhand right and keep pressing forward. There is no such thing as a non aggressive striker.

I've only played on sim mode and the CPU presses forward literally non-stop.

PS3 demo is available now.

# 48 NYG_Meth @ 01/24/12 04:52 PM

Does anyone know any of the THQ community guys? Can we ask about the overly-aggressive AI and whether there's going to be any change in the retail version? Wasn't the point of simulation mode to use strategy and have every shot count?

# 49 NYG_Meth @ 01/24/12 05:06 PM

In sim mode, there needs to be MUCH more defense, and strikes that land clean should do more damage.

I'm not seeing the same thing as NYG_Meth. Starting out the CPU goes into bezerker mode with both Silvas. I had W. Silva fire hook after hook in Pride mode for the first minute. That went away once his stamina took a hit. Saw the same thing with A. Silva. I didnt see that with Jones though. Jones wasnt exactly laying back but he wasnt pushing forward the entire time.

Interested to see what others are seeing. Maybe I'm wrong.

I'm using Anderson against Bones, and Bones is coming forward like a madman throwing all power strikes.

Edit: He threw 37 punches and 31 kicks. Maybe I'm nuts, but that seems like too many when I'm trying to fight defensively and not engage in a firefight.

I see that as well, I've been double pumping the jab to disrupt their bombs and then connecting with some non technique punches and they tend to back up and reset.

Thats EXACTLY what I'm seeing. Its not even close to perfect but on sim mode fighters will gas if they throw AND miss strikes. I had Silva down to 70% after the first round. Toward the end, I would see combos but not as much pressure because Silva's stamina was down. Plus when Silva would miss he would back up and reset. One other thing is I'm constantly moving side to side.

Ok, let you know. For the record, I play using 90% boxing. I dunno if that changes anything. I'm trying to circle on the outside with mostly jabs and straights and occasional power punches and counters.

# 58 NYG_Meth @ 01/24/12 05:20 PM

Lemme know what kinda punch/kick output numbers you're getting from the cpu.

# 59 TheShizNo1 @ 01/24/12 05:24 PM

Sounds like last years, toned down slightly. No thanks, for right now. Thanks for the impression guys. I like the fact that this thread is usually the same people I see in the UFC fight threads. Makes me feel you all know what to look for.

I went up to Experienced and have the above experience. I see the challenge as being keeping them contained and countering their madness until they pull off some. At the same time, I'm trying to keep my stamina in tact.

This is something that developers seem to struggle with with stamina. A fighter that exerts energy, whether he connects or does not connect, should see a toll being taken on his cardio. That's not to say it isn't happening here. I like what I see when a fighter gets gassed, and more rounds will determine much more, but the mentality in the logic they currently have is to have the CPU be very aggressive out of the gate.
