How to approach the new game

Most people I play against don't use a mic. Using mic helped me learn a ton.

If people are backed up against the cage, just use the black lines as a guide to know where to stand to keep octagon control. If you go past it, they can swerve you and regain the center of the octagon. If you know how to keep distance correctly, you should have them backed up 90% of the time.

you can get back to the center if you got good shot prediction for the block.

I've always taken notice of UFC breakdowns too. Whilst being a fan of what to expect in upcoming fights, I take little things from there too. For instance, one of the breakdowns said Weidman never goes past the black lines in the octagon to gain control, which is something I tried to implement into my game too. Worked out pretty nicely.

Completly different from woodleys gameplan of sticking to the fence, id love to see if you can do that in ea ufc 3.

Depends on the skill of the player tbh.

Practice mode is good for learning the controls. Online can only be trained for online. Playing against the AI enough will help you some (if you need some structure play through old UFC cards) but you will develop some bad habits that only work against the AI. Hopefully in 3 the AI is more organic and that's less of an issue though.

another great way to get any edge for online play is to visit the forums. Come here and see what I'm spazzing out about after ufc 3 is released, and just use those tactics.

Reading forums helps at lot besides that, if you spend time to read all that really long information.
