I guess I will keep testing some matches to see... I will be bummed because I paused my universe mode for the patch, and was looking forward to my UFC 200 card but now I don't even know haha

I'm starting the card now but I fought against Joanna and the AI is still off for her. Too many takedown attempts. Not enough defense.

I'm going to do 9 fights tonight so I should have a better feel for it later.

FYI, I'm going to fight realistically with my usual house rules. No 5-6 punch combos unless the CPU is in a health event and fight to the skill of each fighter.

oh definitely! I feel that is the best way to play anyway, I like more realistic matches. I am sure you could KO the CPU in the first if you fought to do that. Also I am gonna create a new thread for post patch impressions to make it easier for all to see

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Patch 1.05 & Content Update Adds 2 Fighters, Plenty of Fixes

I dont want to flood the thread with impressions of each fight but the first fight was good but still a mixed bag:

Makovsky (me) v. Scoggins (AI)

+ Scoggins head movement was great in the first round. I actually found it pretty difficult to land a punch on him in the first 3 minutes.

+ Scoggins ground game was pretty good except for one exception. Did not standup out of half guard.

+ Health event in the 3rd after Scoggins hit me with a MTC knee. He almost TKO'd me but I recovered

- Scoggins didnt do much to get out of back side when I had him there. I couldve stopped him but back side is too dominant a position so I've made a house rule that I have to transition once the AI blocks.

- Scoggins transitioned from crucifix to north/south which no one would do in real life.

Has anyone with XboxOne gotten the patch yet? I just popped game in and didnt get anything.

Well..........I cant say that I'm happy or that I'm seeing any major changes to the issues I've had with the AI after 8 fights.

The biggest issue continues to be AI stopping power. I'm not scared when I face the AI at all. I'm not worried they are going to knock me out. I'm not even worried that they will catch me with a random strike that will hurt me.

If you have the time, look at this video I've posted. Its Mirsad Bektic vs Jeremy Stephens. I'm Bektic. Stephens hits me with bombs throughout the entire fight and doesnt cause one health event. In the 3rd round, I just decide to go for it since I'm likely down 2 rounds and I KO Stephens.

Now on one hand, Bektic has plenty of power and has a level 3 game changer perk which makes it more likely to cause a KO with his hands. On the other hand, Stephens is 7 points better when it comes to standup and yet he doenst come close to KOing me.

Also Stephens shot for 11 takedowns which is unlike his fight style. Something has to be done to prevent guys like Stephens and women like Joanna from becoming wrestlers.

I have a list of issues/changes that I will post later.

I played an event and my AI complaints remain the same as before. Their stopping power and ability to block or avoid strikes has to get substantially better.

Those two problems really go hand and hand because they effect each other so much. I mean, you can easily 1-2 the AI to death because they don't block very well and you don't have to worry about them KO'ing you.

Other than that the AI is decent, but when you know that you can pretty much finish a fight at anytime by spamming combos then it really hurts the game.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Patch 1.05 &amp; Content Update Adds 2 Fighters, Plenty of Fixes

Here are some quick impressions from my first night of fights with the patch:

-AI not using high block enough. Out of the 16 fights, I find that the AI will either not block at all, use head movement or parry. Using the high block should make it harder for me to be able to dominate the AI using basic strikes.

- AI stamina management is off. Too combo heavy (5-6 strikes) at times. Finding that the AI is gassing quick,

- No AI stopping power. I dont know if the solution is to artifically increase the aI's stats when on Hard or Pro but something needs to be done. Its ridiculous that KO's never happen to me and health events are rare. I dont parry. I dont use a ton of head movement. I use the block and movement. I'm very hittable but the AI cant seem to KO me.

- Hard is better than Pro. I have no idea why this is the case. I was able to win 4 pro fights by KO within 60 seconds. I wasnt spamming. I was using regular combos and not spamming modified strikes.

All and all, I'm disappointed. The game isnt a challenge right now even with house rules in place. At this point, I would take the parry heavy AI from UFC 1 over this because its was at least a challenge (even though it was cheesy).

Something has to be done about this.

great patch only two noticable mistakes and fixes i have noticed so far FABIO MALDONADO is still announced by Buffer as a jiu jitsui fighter instead of a boxer please fix ea.
The leg catch to takedown by the cpu has not been fixed yet as far as i have seen so far,they still catch kick and let it go without taking you down,we can take the cpu down from leg catches so it should be fixed,i am surprised EA did not fix this with the patch.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Patch 1.05 &amp; Content Update Adds 2 Fighters, Plenty of Fixes

AI is still lacking. As aholbert32 says it's not scary playing against them, they lack power and blocking skills. I basically know I'm going to win before the bell is rung, usually by KO or TKO in round 1. Had more fun offline with UFC1.

Play exclusively online since career mode blows and computer is terrible, even on hardest two levels. (big bummer as I did 5-6 careers in last game).

Hoping this isn't just my imagination, but jab and straight seem to have much more "stopping power" with the patch. Defended 16/18 takedowns this morning in online ranked match. Also noticed a big "hit" the guy took once I stuffed him. Were these both in the patch, or am I crazy? lol.
