    Don't forget to turn your game off.

    I played for hours, went to get something to eat, and left the console on out of habit. I burned another hour and a half doing nothing.

    I know I'll be spending another $5. This isn't gonna last me until release and I've gotta get my **** together.

      I've done 12 fights so far 11 in the minor leagues and one in the ufc. I'm at about 80% left on the meter. YMMV with your playstyle and how hard you train etc. Thing I like the most is that my extended time in the WFA seems to have paid off, I entered the ufc at rank 9 beat Jared Cannonier who was rank 4 and now I'm ranked 5. So the extended stay seems to fast track you. The rivalry mechanic seems a bit more organic this time too, I could've played with nice with Jared but he **** on me for being the new guy so I responded back taunting him. With me beating him it made us rivals, not sure how It'll play, but I'm excited for it.

        You gotta use another account or what? I really wish they'd just let people who bought the game keep playing. Chances are if you play the whole 10 hours AND want more you are not going to cancel your pre-order.

          I've never done this before, but I'm assuming so. It would be cool if we could just agree to give them another $5 on the same account if we can't keep playing our preorder.

            I'm in love with the sliders. Soooo many options now.

              Ahhh release day... the one day where positive comments start to outweigh the complaints. Keep it coming, lads. Let me enjoy it for at least a little while... reality will come back soon enough.

              PS: Glad y'all are enjoying the early access!

              PPS: Stoked to have more sliders in game, too. Hopefully they help the long term potential!

                How have I burned through 3 hours of the trial already? Lol.

                Couple of weird things I've noticed so far.
                On the ground it seems like both the left and right stick fill the meter, is that right?
                Also the meter seems to full on its own quite a bit/not in sync with your inputs. This happened in the ufc 3 beta I remember but don't recall it happening much or at all in the full game.
                These first 2 could be related in fairness but I'm not sure.

                Finally, if you choose to auto fill an event and you have a male CAF created, they will sometimes get put into a female fight. This can't be right surely? I know your main caf spans weight classes, but not from male to female surely?

                  The gameplay has been immaculate so far! The only feedback I have that's not entirely positive is Dominick Reyes standing in Orthodox. That, and Sean missing some signatures kicks & Izzy missing his spinning elbow. The AI has been a standout tho, its as challenging as it is impressive, and the fighter uniqueness has gone way up too! Y'all did a great job!

                      The ground game actually feels dangerous. It completely rebalances everything.
                      ...precision beats power and timing beats speed... and realism beats meta.

                        Can you elaborate? What are all the new options?

                          One thing that annoys me is the meta being so Boxing orientated. I like the striking but pressure fighting is still the meta. Counters dont do much and swaying their shots dont drain them stamina.
                          (ufc 3 had good balance in this regard)
                          Ruins the other cool dynamics in the
                          Standup game. Make it more punishing and dangerous!

                            One thing I’ve noticed is that the clinch and the fear of getting taken down and pounded out will deter people from over pressuring. That’s just my experience. At least now if someone is a better striker than me I have other options besides just getting bullied

                              Been playing all day and loving the game so far. Striking feels fluid, grappling feels amazing, and it now finally feels like a "complete" MMA game. The fight can be won with multiple disciplines. Striking, wrestling and jiu-jitsu all finally feel dangerous.

                              Just a couple areas of improvement i hope we can see in the next patch:

                              - Counter strikes dont do enough damage. If you sway a jab/straight and counter, it does the same amount of damage as a regular strike. Hopefully we can get the damage buffed a bit on successful counters.

                              - Choke Submissions are too hard now. I'm glad they nerfed them from the beta, but they feel a bit TOO nerfed now. The defender can just spin his stick around as fast as possible and escape most of the times. Maybe increase the penalty for this slightly?

                              - Stamina is ALMOST perfect. They are literally a hair away from making the striking stamina perfect. Increase the permanent stamina drain slightly, especially if alot of significant strikes are thrown throughout the fight.


                              So far i'm having a ton of fun. If they can somehow get those recommended changes in, this would be the greatest MMA game of all time IMO
                              Lineup:

                              SG) '95-'96 Michael Jordan
                              SF) Sapphire Scottie Pippen
                              PF) '95-'96 Dennis Rodman
                              C) Hakeem Olajuwon

                                Sure, but still. Punching air should drain more stamina.and counters should have more value IMO
