EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Every fight starts the same. The CPU aggressively trots toward the other end and throws a strike. It doesn't look like there is any variance in how the CPU uses each respective fighter.

Don't let them try and paint the picture it is to hard to change either. When I was at FNC community day, all the guys met and we all said how stamina was a issue. Hayes, said "I'll run upstairs make some quick adjustments, update and see what yall think". 15 min later we were playing what I considered to be a MUCH more realistic version of a boxing game. Played it exactly like that the entire time we were there, then come release time I get my copy early and what you know back in full force how it was before they made the adjustment but WORSE.

They purposely design it like this for "fun" Hayes words, not mine.

What drives me crazy is that simple fact. It is literally a 24 hour or less adjustment (to balance correctly), but they REFUSE to make a realistic game on purpose. Just pisses me off to no end. Anyone of us could go there and fiddle with the stamina numbers to come up with a much better representation of MMA stamina. Do you think they are incapable??? No, they refuse to do it no matter how much we bitch.

Well, that Ronda/Cat fight looked a lot better to me. I just hope it is possible to get to decisions without accelerated clock on

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

wtf?

And by that I mean

Spoiler

WTF!!!!!!

Looks like I'll be creating 7-8 gmail/PSN accounts, so that I can create 70-80 CAF's.



The only ones I know by heart are Anderson Silva's, Rousey's, Wandy's and Big Nog's. If you get a chance could you check to see if Wandy's (Sandstorm) and Big Nog's (Gimme Shelter) has their real theme song?

Also, if you get a chance within the next day or two, please go through all of the fighters ratings (kind of slowly) and archive it. If you can, then I will start creating their ratings spreadsheet. Just let me know if you do it.

How does that work and is there a way to swap CAF's between accounts?

They need to get rid of Hayes.

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Sorry to ask again, but is there any kind of stat or championship tracking?

Not at all.....

Agreed. Looks like turning accelerated clock off had an impact. It didn't look like there were any big shots landed so I'm sure it will be possible to get to decision, especially user vs. user.

I'm not sure...

Worst case scenario you should be able to create 10 guys per division and make each account only for that division.

Why is the AI so ******* aggressive in all of these games?

I assume this is going to be the big deal for the next game in the series. Better movement, flow, feints, risk/reward/ strategic movement/striking. Definitely the area to improve on most based on what I have seen so far.

It's really absurd. How does this go unchanged year after year?

Because the game is made for casuals. EA thinks that none of us want to fight strategically instead we all want a slugfest every single fight.

An Aracde and Simulation setting would have been perfect, but nah nobody wants to fight realistically (according to EA) so why waste dev time on it.

I feel like that would be such an easy algorithm to tweak though. Ugh.

Re: EA UFC Retail Impressions Thread

Man, this bad news is just pouring in. Some of this I knew already, but damn.

Bad AI.
Bad stamina.
Only CAF's in career (Kills the mode for me personally. I'm not a "create myself and knock out Cain Velasquez" kinda guy.)
Only 10 CAF's.
No fighter share.
No event mode.

This is the game I was most looking forward to on next gen, and now it looks like I'm gonna Gamefly it.
