Love seeing Gaethje vs MJ fight as one of the backgrounds in the beta.

I'm playing against Barboza and the commentary says he's the "Soldier of God" and "Romero"

First impressions 5 matches in

- The pacing is much better if you choose it to be, ie not 100mph like the vids available earlier

- the controls are quite hard to get used to, in that im not sure what buttons do what punches, apart from straights, uppercuts etc. Im not sure how to do a superman punch, spinning back fist, an overhead etc, unsure what classes as signature punches and what is modified

- the damage system should still be upped, even from these early fights, you ar landing way too many clean shots without their being proper damage

- finding it hard to lunge, doesnt seem to cover any great distance, whats the increased one controls again? have folk been using them to dart in and out?

- there are too many rocks, i know that contradicts my previous statement but theres loads each fight

- the presentation is good, apart from porier still being bald, guys had hair for about 6 months at least, pretty sloppy and makes it feel a bit like a port from ufc2 in that regard

- the sound need tweaking, crowd way too quiet. I have turned everything way down bar the crowd and it seems much better, just need to really turn tv up though. On that, there could be more excitement and drama in the sound, theres very little passion from the crowd or commentary, even after a win. it doesnt feel like youve just seen the end of a fight, it should be fever pitch!

Good start though, looking forward to playing much more

As someone who has more hours into UFC 2 than any other game I've owned, I was really hyped for this. When I seen the gameplay videos on Youtube last night, I was a little disappointed in what I was seeing. Nothing looked bad necessarily..just nothing revolutionary.

When I got the Beta code this morning, I immediately downloaded the game and jumped in with a Conor vs Nate match, and was knocked out within a minute. I was merking everyone in UFC 2 on Pro.. now I'm getting KO'd 7/10 times at a medium difficulty. The controls have messed me up a bit, but I'll get used to it.

I will say that this game is LEAPS AND BOUNDS ahead of UFC 2. Watching videos on youtube don't do it justice; you really have to feel the controls. So far I love it. Only thing that is annoying me so far are those flash knockdowns that don't allow me to jump on or hit the opponent before their animated stand-up.

The camera jolting during big strikes in clinch and on the ground is driving me nuts. It occurred in UFC 2, but it has been turned way up. The camera man is not the one getting hit.
