UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

Re: UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

I like the "shine" just fine in and of itself and I can execute it very well. But, no exaggeration- there is a hole in the palm of my right hand. It's been there since the demo. The only other game that did that to me was the first Mario Party.

Believe me, I have tried using my thumb. It just doesn't work for me. Thus, I have resorted to literally taping my hand up like a fighter before playing the game.

Spin the right analog stick. Its called the shine because of they way people do it. They take their right hand off the controller and use their palm to spin the stick.

Do you spin it clockwise or counterclockwise?

I think I spin it clockwise but I dont think it matters. I think to do a sub switch you start spinning one way then reverse directions so I dont think the direction matters.

Counterclockwise for me is better - I have gotten the Submission Of The night medal 5 or 6 times now doing so. But also it was Nog vs Brock in ranked matches

Re: UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

I can't seem to get a submission going, or better yet stop one. I try spinning the analog with speed, I've tried hold down the spinning it and that didn't work. I've tried having it pushed in and spinning it and that isn't working.

They really need a patch to give you a somewhat of a chance. Either that or make it easier. I've lost 4 fights to submissions. Thats my downfall right now.

You don't have to do the shine. You can press the right stick in to "charge" the submission. Only works if you're the one applying it though.

So, you press in the R-stick to initiate the submission, then press the R-stick in again?

Re: UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

Haha. THQ should provide us with another controller for shining. I always shine slow and try and get a good circle. I've got out of a few submissions, but mostly I am caught tapping. Yet I do pace myself and I'm not gassed.

Afraid to go fast on the stick, because I don't want to ruin it.

Any of you gents charge your submission before shining when initiating one? Juts curious if you get better results, because I haven't tried the charge and don't exactly understand it, to be honest. I know how to do it, but don't get the underlying reason for it.

Re: UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

Guys, I'm telling you, I believe that the "charge" method is a necessity when it comes to submissions.

After you initiate the sub, don't immediately start to "shine." Instead, wait for their stamina to drop. (Under half stamina is needed in my opinion, under 1/3 is great)

After their stamina drops, press the right stick in (R3 button) and hold it. The longer you hold it the more successful it can be, but if you hold for too long then you risk losing your sub.

Release the R3 button, you should see your fighter "crank" on the limb of your opponent and go for the sub. After this happens, start your shine.

If you're still confused, go to guide mode in the tutorial. I felt it explained it pretty well there. I got the hang of it in practice, then put it into play in exhibition matches.

I still think the submission system is overly difficult and that subs occur too infrequently. It's still difficult to sub the CPU this way. However, before tonight I had recorded absolutely zero subs on the demo or game. After practicing the charge method, I have 5 wins with subs tonight vs the CPU. (Albeit they were still a pain to execute successfully).

Hope that helps.

Re: UFC 2010 Analog only Submission Game

see i was doing it wrong. i thought u didnt have to shine at all. i thought u just hold in the r3 button and then let go when your stamina is half empty and that it. so what u r saying is u shine for a lilttle bit then hold in the r3 button then let go and that it right?

No, don't even shine at first. Just charge (hold R3) at the beginning. You'll see the "crank" animation and if you're close to pulling it off the screen will zoom in. You can sub people this way without even having to resort to the shine. But, if the sub still isn't accomplished after you charge, begin your shine AFTER the crank animation and screen zoom.

Hope I explained it better there.
