Thing moves slower if your fighter is too gassed out (sim). That's what I noticed, but what I do to not get caught is simply turn the other way around by rotating to the opposite direction once the CPU gets closer. Works most of the time. But I still hate this new submission system terribly. It literally takes me away from the "actual" fight. I doubt they have enough time to replace it in the final build. Button-mashing should be more appropriate for this.

yea i agree, i hated the shine but at least i could still see the fighters. People get so turned off by button mashing but i think when it comes to a good submission system button mashing makes sense. I thought i would like this new system better but it takes away from seeing the action and it's just as bad as the shine IMO.

I'm really torn. I like the stand up w/ the exception of 1 thing; I'm trying to move forward and jab, yet I'll accidentally throw a hook. Annoying.

The ground game kills me. In 09 and EA MMA, if a good wrestler takes me to the ground, I'm like, o ****. In this, just a matter of time until I get up. I'm going to wait to see what they patch. The way I feel now, I may pass.

I'm starting to get annoyed with the spinning back fists. It's too easy or too much a part of Jon Jones and Anderson Silva's game. A fighter doesn't throw 10 spinning back fists in a fight but in this game you can throw 10 easily per round. I know i'm the only controlling the type of punch but the problem is that the controls to throw spinning back fists are so easy to hit with the controller even if it's not my intention.

it's perfect i'm okay with it(the bolded part). i think its just a matter of memorizing the controls. i'd rather press L1+punch to spin backfist than do a quarter-circle forward, quarter-circle back circle something+punch to execute it.

lol that's because pressing forward + punch together will really make you throw a hook.

Any tips on being more of a counter fighter/swaying? Seems you can't look at the strike your opponent is throwing and sway to avoid it, but that you have to already determined to sway in a direction and do it on the first sign of movement and hope it works.

And how about reversals on the ground? They made it alot tougher to reverse now (which is a good thing) and I'm trying to better learn when to flick the stick. It seems they've sped up the ground transitions, so now I can just wait to see them start their move before I go for a reversal, and when the opponent moves me on the ground, I end up trying to reverse.

The ground game needs work. Like a few have said, it's only a matter of time before you stand back up. I hate that. It should be much more of a struggle to get to your feet. Even with sim energy settings, you can spam the RS over and over and your up.

Striking is better. Vthe submission system is just stupid. The graphic that pops up takes up the entire screen and that's all you see. And applying a submission is way too simple. No struggle. It just gets locked it.

All in all. It's OK. But still WAY. To arcade focused for me. It's already in my gamefly adds. So i just. Don't see a purchase in my future. Still not the game I want it to be. That would be a 100% sim MMA game. Which will never happen.

And the ref needs to loosen up. If I'm protecting myself. Why r u stopping the fight?

I didn't realize how much I missed playing UFC games. Downloaded the demo and have been knocking out Anderson Silva via front kick all day. the only thing I am disappointed in is the submission "game." I can get past that though. On a side note, does anyone know if the fighter's entrance music will be their signature song or something they have previously came out to? If not, will we be able to edit that?

We won't be able to edit current fighters entrance music and they are each assigned to a song that is currently in the game.

Game actually made me want to play EA MMA.

Played about 3-4 matches today. I'm going to wait to read your guy's impression on the final build to decide whether to get it.

I always give EA a hard time for the products they put out, but they did a damn good job w/ MMA. While you had the hook spammers, I could play on and offline w/o giving myself house rules or feeling cheated. I'd love to have the cage walk on there, some of the clinch moves, and of course the spinning back elbow, but that game just felt right.

I see UFC3 selling very well, especially w/ the extra exposure it's going to receive, but sadly, I don't think they'll ever go back to the foundation they had w/ 09.

I hope I'm wrong.

Yeah sways in this game are more anticipation than reaction unless you have really good reflexes. The best advice I could give you about swaying effectively would be to use the back and forward sways more, and the left and right sways rarely because they will cause you to get cracked by hooks (which the CPU throws way to often) if you guess to the wrong side.

Anybody knew how to do that Flying Knee to the head, with Jon Jones or Spider Silva?
I kept looking in the Action List but the said move isn't listed there.
I feel very comfortable playing in the Advanced difficulty and I seem to have like "mastered" all the common striking moves except this Flying Knee attack the CPU does. How do you execute it? (I'm on a PS3)

Flick the left stick towards your opponent and hit L1+X or O, can't remember, might actually be both. Make sure you are a good distance away, because it is a stepping move and you have to be further away from your opponent. Both Silva and Jones can do the knee.

Got it! So it only needs a flick of the stick. Thanks.
