The fighter move sets from the demo and from the streams are ridiculous. Hell why stop with cartwheel kicks, spinning roundhouse bicycle kicks, power slams, and super man jabs they should have upped the ante and allow elbow drops from the top of the cage.

    I'm so disappointed. This was the game I was the most looking forward to this year and unless they patch the living crap out of this game I will just bypass it.
    Honestly, the only one of those I've seen alot is the backwards power slam and I've seen that about once every 3 fights in my experience. On CPU v. CPU, I saw it a ton but playing against the AI I saw more single and double leg takedowns.

      This is so disappointing. I came on here hoping to hear better news cause you guys always give it to me straight. I knew EA would ruin this game, loved undisputed and this is five steps backwards. Typical ea fashion, game looks very pretty , game play sucks. They focus on off the cage jumping punches, wwe power slams and then neglect the most basic things..... No sprawls, a completely flawed stamina system, every fighter rushing in and fighting the same way, this is a ****ing streetfighter ufc game.

      I had cancelled my preordered after the demo was out, then reordered trying to stay positive..... Now I want to cancel again lol

          The Rousey fight was fantastic and had this talked about MMAi. She fought near herself and even finished both fights her signature way.

          The last fight I watched, the Evans vs Cormier was not a bad fight either. I would of liked to see Cormier hold Evans down easier when he did get top control but I think that had more to do with the difficult level. On hard I would of bet getting out from under him would of been tough.

          Another thing I liked is the stamina on realistic time setting. It looks how you would expect stamina to be, but the problem is punch output numbers so high that fights will never see a decision or to a 5th round.

          If they could give us a patch that adjusts the CPU AI to slow down when you change the time setting it would be perfect.

          Accelerated clock ON = Leave AI strike numbers as is (maybe lower a tad)
          Real time ON = AI strike numbers drop drastically to mimic real round strike totals.


          Then most of us would be satisfied!

                  Comical. You were hurting future sales by showing the truth I guess.

                      LOL I've been apart of this routine before. Typical EA route of silencing the negative aspects and keep them hidden until AFTER launch day and people find out on their own they have been duped. By that point its to late they got your money.

                      I'm sorry but that kind of business practice puts a terrible taste in my mouth and is partly to do why EA has been voted worst company. These kind of things catch up and leave a reputation.

                      You take all of their sport titles and throw a company equally as large with similar financial power to develop along side as competition, you would see less of these things OR they would slowly crumble due to poor customer satisfaction. Only thing holding the glue together for their sports departments is the fact EA has enough financial power to keep customer options limited to only them. Which most of us will at least want our "fix" of our favorite sports video games anyway we can get it. Sucks, but this is how it will be from 2014 on

                      I want to see the Sony team truly invest in the sports arena. I feel they are the only current company with a shot of attacking EA both on a developing level and financial.

                            Nothing really surprises me anymore with these companies nowadays. It's not about taking care of the customers and standing by there product. It's getting worse and of all the company's that produce games EA is by far the worst IMO

                              Its sucks but I'm not stressing it.

                              The origin account is connected to my psn account so I have two choices:

                              1) Create a new psn account (with plus) so that I can access the online part of EA games.

                              or

                              2) Just not play EA games online.

                              The only thing that really sucks is Gameface is a part of Origin so I cant make accurate CAFs without it. I may just bite the bullet and create a new PSN account since my playstation plus is running out on my old one.

                                No worries I probably should have quoted his post in the first place. I can't remember when my opinion on EA soured but they certainly haven't done themselves any favors with this. Banning a guys Origin account because he's been stating his honest opinion of a game before it comes out? Lame.
