05:37 PM - March 9, 2016 by Steve_OS

The EA Sports UFC 2 trial is available now for EA Access subscribers (queue it up here), a day earlier than expected, which is typically the case nowadays. Subscribers of the Xbox One exclusive service, can play the full game for 10 hours.

Quote:


	The ten-hour clock only ticks when the game is open, so if you want to conserve your time, make sure you close the game when you're finished playing. If you continue the fight once UFC 2 releases on March 15 - all the progress you make carries over, including Career Mode advancement and UFC Ultimate Team. EA Access members also save 10% when they buy UFC 2 digitally, just like with all EA digital purchases.

If you're a subscriber, download it and post your impressions!

It could be. I never found striking to be unresponsive but I have seen issues with attempting takedowns in both the beta and final version.

That's the only option I have in the "choose opponent" selection screen. So I get stuck fighting RDA in the undercard of UFC 198. and get knocked out edit: Man the rankings get crazy. Next fight I have options to either fight #28 Gilbert Milendez (91), #31 Michael Chiesa (89), or random generated fighter (85). Take the random fighter, win move on. next batch of selections? #27 Diego Sanchez (87), #28 Gilbert Milendez (91), #29 Eddie Alverez (94). Absolutely brutal

Had the same thing happen to me last night, only the #29 fighter that I had to face was Nate Diaz.

There was no way that I could see to refuse the fight, so I went ahead and hit accept fight.

Ended up having a WAR with him and won in a split decision.

This game definitley feels smoother on PS4. I played the beta and am now playing it on XB1...its crazy how much different it feels. A little unresponsive and clunky on XB1.

I find the AI to be too easy on Normal. Knocked McGregor and Overeem out in the 1st round half way in the round. Going to up the difficulty level.

# 25 DaveDQ @ 03/10/16 02:23 PM

What makes it seem slower to me is the weight classes. It's not that it's unresponsive, it's more that a big guy takes longer. That's about it for me. I don't feel like the game lags or anything.

# 26 Gotmadskillzson @ 03/10/16 02:34 PM

Tried Pro, much better. But it is still way too easy to KO somebody with the top 5 fighters in the division. Got subbed by Rousey in the 1st. KO'ed Van Zant in the 1st. So out of 4 fights. 3 KO's in the 1st round, 1 submission lost in the 1st round.

I don't know, maybe they need a difficulty higher then Pro I guess. Tag somebody clean, the fight is basically over within the next 10 seconds. It's like you push the pace, the AI will push back but yet they don't protect their face which leads to a KO every time. So they need to fix that. Small sample size, but so far only Rousey was good at protecting her face.

There's no option to refuse a fight. Generally you're given three opponents to choose from unless a certain event triggers. I was forced to fight RDA in that fight and later Nate Diaz in a "Fighter Challenge". The fighter challenge gave you an opportunity to earn more fans during the fight if you pulled off three specific goals....one of them was to taunt Nate five times during the fight.

Also are you left to figure out your own gameplans or do your coaches suggest an approach against opponents?

I may have overlooked it, but I think you only see your opponents basic stats (Stand Up, Clinch, Ground ratings).

And you have to figure out your own gameplan. You may get events to trigger going into your training camp like "your teammate flew out of the country to train, so you get more time to work with your wrestling coach. You'll get added boosts to all Ground training." But nothing in the way of the game suggesting strategies for each fighter.

So nobody talking about GNP finish animation?

Figthers looks like dead man but they should be scramble to save their life what is this?

# 29 Gotmadskillzson @ 03/11/16 12:44 AM

Had no idea Daniel Cormier could do this.....completely caught me off guard.

Yeah got caght in one of these earlier. Got out at the last second.

On another note I'm finding hard to be a lot better then Pro. On pro I was dominating everyone within a round. On hard I've had some good 4/5 round brawls and decisions. Seems odd that the CPU would preform better on hard then pro?

# 31 SgtDillznick @ 03/11/16 09:19 AM

A quick question for you lucky folks with the early access:

In event mode, do you have to play all of the fights? Or can you fight one and simulate the other fights in the card? Asking because I'm thinking of running the universe mode with the spreadsheets you guys have provided and I really don't want to fight every fight. Thanks in advance.

Glad to see I'm not the only one. I thought I was going crazy for a minute.

No simulations and thats disappointing because I think you could sim a fight in UFC 3.

That's too bad. I'd love to have this option as well.
I was going to only partake in 1 or 2 fights per card and sim the rest.

Hopefully they add this in the next UFC 3.

Hopefully its part of a Universe Mode. FYI, I mentioned Universe mode to the devs again so they are very aware of it. Fingers crossed that they try to develop it.

I seriously doubt that it will be added as a patch or DLC for UFC 2. That mode is too big to just throw into a patch.

I played quite a few fights last night and it was a blast. I destroyed Aldo with McGregor a couple of times on Normal so I decided to go up to Hard and start my "Universe". I got blasted by the CPU 6-2 in my first card.

I have to get better at stopping takedowns and I was getting killed by ground and pound. I need to practice a little more, but once I do I should have some good and competitive fights ahead of me.
