After Every Patch These Games Become More Sim

[King_Clarke1]

Many of us have been playing these MMA games for a long time (I go back to the UFC on the SEGA Dreamcast). For the more recent MMA games (THQ and EA's games) there is a common theme and I would like to see if you all have noticed it as well.

They all get released with a super arcadey feel to them. By this I mean people are capable of throwing tons of hooks, spinning sh.... stuff all day... blah blah you all know what I am saying.

But then they all get updates which seem to move the game closer to a simulation than an arcade experience. This game has been no exception. So I am wondering:

1.) Have you all noticed this?
2.) Do you think this is done to attract casual players?

You're just not up to scratch

Well, it doesn't help that you're the type of player who spams the clinch with fighters like Anderson Silva.

Haters gonna hate

Definitely agree with OP --- just hoping that UFC 3 will start MORE SIM than UFC 2 ended; then we can go from there

(I actually liked KnockOut Mode in this game and definitely think they should have similar arcade-like modes *online* in future games...perhaps with their own leaderboards even!...Ranked matches/UT/etc. need to be as Sim as possible, though.)

Yeah agree, the game getting more difficult to mastered, its good.

Yes I definitely hope they can learn from the past and just go for a more "sim" feel for the next game.

Hopefully the next game is much more sim.

Played a guy using Holm a minute ago. He'd lean back, parry my attack to the body, and hit me with some nonsense kick in return. Infuriating. I was able to stun him a few times when he leaned back, but he ended up getting me on the cards with this braindead style of fighting. People who just stand there doing mummy leanbacks just make me SMH. I needed two more rounds in that one.

I use parries, but I kind of wished they were changed up. I don't know how, but relying on parries alone shouldn't be a good strategy. There has to be a better way to incorporate them.
