I need to try this out, let me know next time you do it.

Can anyone really assist me with the choke holds. You move the right stick of the cursor, but then what? I really don't get it and did the tutorial which didn't help much either.

Thanks!

ok you are either blue or red corner (see gloves) circle the stick to find your color and hold it in that position an till it moves, find it again and hold..the circle should be getting bigger as you are about to break free.

Is that what the colors are for? I never got what the red and blue meant, but it makes sense. I just thought it changed colors as it circled around and as you got closer or further something.

What I do is go from 9 o'clock to 3 o'clock but maybe there's a better way. I just work it until I get to my color. The thing is, if you are fighting a sub specialist it is super hard to defend.

Ahh, I kept moving it, that explains a lot more of it.

Thanks!

Re: EA Sports MMA Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here

Just finished a battle in my career that was awesome.

I just couldn't do anything with my opponent, as far as stand-up. I just couldn't find my range or string together combo's on this guy. Suddenly I remembered a UFC fight I saw a year or so back where the guy was just kicking the crap out of the other guys legs to negate his mobility.

I'm fighting in the liga de combate, or whatever it's called, it's 1 20min round, with head kicks. That being said I came up with a strategy to chop this guys legs down and wear him down stamina wise. I started to go in, rotate around and kick his legs and get out or range, he would wreck me with combo's if I stayed in to long.

After a couple of minutes of my leg-kicks, he started reeling with every kick. Which slowed him down and allowed me to begin peppering him with jabs and hooks. After awhile I felt it was safe to take him to the mat and begin my ground game and try to submit him. All the while being very patient and careful not to gas myself.

Sure enough I won! The awesome thing about the victory is that I was able to devise a coherent strategy and execute it expertly on the fly.

The controls in this game are excellent, I never would have been able to do this in either UFC 2009 or 2010, both of which I owned and played.

I hope more people get this game, so that the online community grows.

Yeah that is what I am saying ! They just kept saying find the cursor, but never said leave it on there, I was just spinning like an idiot in the direction of the cursor LOL.

Choke Battle:
Left stick - Rotate to find the vibration then try to chase it once you got it (it always moves but never "jumps"). Let go or stay still to regain stamina (low stamina = smaller vibration range).

BOTH corners are fighting for the same sweep spot (red = red corner found it, blue = blue corner found it, purple = both corners found it and it's down to grapple defense Vs. Choke submission skill).

The most important thing here is the more stamina you have the bigger your sweet spot "tolerance", so (as with everything) manage your stamina. The faster you move the stick, the more stamina you drain (it's like frantically struggling to get out rather than being methodical in your movements).

The longer the struggle lasts the larger that sweet spot becomes for both fighters (this stops battles from lasting forever).

When defending, your grapple defense stat and stamina determines the size of your sweet spot, when attacking your choke submission skill and stamina determines the size of your sweet spot. The size of that spot makes a HUGE difference in how easy it is to pull out the choke or escape.

Ahh, that makes even more sense. Thanks. The tutorial really didnt explain much for submissions.

Makes a lot of sense now.....I was always going too fast....

Yeah this game is great! Playing career and I am currently 7-4. I just lost to a guy who put a choke on me when I went to take him down... I was winning the fight too...

I have like 2 TKOs and 5 submission wins. I have lost 2 decisions and twice been submitted.

I highly reccomend this game!
