How do you do these kicks?

The soccer kick is after your opponent goes down stunned you perform a soccer kick right to the opponents head. Not really sure how I head stomped him, I was so excited after landing a soccer kick I just was hoping to end the fight.

Its great how guys actually touch gloves in this game. Its cool how some guys will touch gloves, some just ignore you, and some taunt you for it. I taunted a guy back and my guy just shook his head at the guy, thought that was a nice touch.

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

first fight i had involved both fighters from fightershare....

rampage (me) vs machida (cpu).....

edited both fighters and machida had better stats in basically every category except power and the clinch.

played on hard difficulty....


first round, I had a lot of trouble hitting machida but it was pretty even....he landed many more strikes, but i took him down once and got some points. slight edge to machida.

2nd round I opened up and apparently opened up too much....counter city from machida, and i started to get bust up....then he started to leg kick me....i couldnt do a thing and rampage was laboring. I usually play with no HUD but this match I played with a HUD to see how the game works.

So by the middle 2nd round, my leg health was halved, my head health was nearly halved, and I was bleeding badly. I noticed the more success machida had with the leg kicks, he kept going at it and the announcers also took notice. That's a good sign for the AI....

machida at this point had nearly full health in all categories and Rampage was in shambles...but out of nowhere a counter left hook landed beautifully on Machida coming in |(who has an 86 chin in the game btw)....and Machida DROPPED .....I couldn't believe it....it felt so real. Basically a slugger's luck...lucky punch, hail mary or whatever else you wanna call it.

Machida was down half out, and 3 shots to the head later, match was over.

Never experienced a moment like this in ufc 09 ( didn't get 10)....In 09 after 2 rounds, if your health was half depleted and the cpu's was nearly full...it was pretty much a given you're either gonna lose by points (avoid punches and play it safe) or you're gonna get KOed in the next big exchange. Not so in EA MMA

After the fight I checked out some stats....Machida landed like 110 strikes compared to my 45....got abused up until the finish really. To be honest....the finish reminded me a lot of shogun machida 2. Great 1st match.

the next 2 fights with the same fighters I lost by TKO and points....couldn't reproduce the 1st outing, but at least I know that a fight can always be turned by ONE SINGLE blow.

Love it love it love it! Played Japanese rules, not sure what the position is called, but he went for the takedown and I stuffed him on the ground, was kind of in a head lock. Anyway had the guy down, and I friggin knee'd him in the head. First time I saw it, I jumped outta my seat. Went to a decision, I lost of course. Having a real tough time beating the CPU on medium.

What I love about this game so far, the CPU worries me. If I'm fighting a BJJ guy, I don't ever want to goto the ground. Guys will pull combos into takedowns. Guys fight exactly to their strengths.

First of all, Let me say that this is a very good game. The balance offline is implemented very well and the AI plays tough but fair for the most part.

Second, I haven't ventured online yet, I wanted to get a feel for the controls a little better before I do that. Also, I keep reading about the the Button hook spammers and bad memories return from FN round 4.

Anyway, I am sold on the gameplay and looking forward to one day playing some of the OS'ers online.

Peace

The stomps are when you attack for a TKO,use the kick buttons instead.

Quick Question Guys since I know most of you will be straight forward with me.

Should I buy this game, I have been contemplating it for the last few days and Im right on the verge.

Is it better than UFC 10? I really didnt enjoy that game and it felt WAY TOO ARCADY for my taste, the presentation and such were nice but the Gameplay and Stupid Career mode killed it for me.

Is the game I should be buying especially if Ill be spending most of my time offline?

Also how many fighters can we download, I would like to have some stacked divisions.

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

I created a fighter who had so-so standup and a good ground game (not amazing, just good).

So far, he's been fun as hell. I played 4-5 matches with him and went to 2 decisions. I think I went 4-1. Standing up, I did OK - but I got rocked a few times during the fights. On the ground was a lot of fun. Against not so good ground guys, I basically worked my way to a good position and subbed them eventually. Against good ground guys, there was a lot of back and forth. I fought Sobral for my last fight and it was awesome. Our stats must have been close, because usually we were able to stalemate each other, or get it back to guard... We usually had to play little games to get the other to wear out their energy first. Then we could pass and go for something. We also had over 1 1/2 minutes in submission battles. I won 30-24, 30-24, 30-25.

For two rounds I did get his back and hold it for at least 2 minutes, so I'm sure that helped a ton with the scores.

All you have to do is win the sub battle to unlock the armbar, so just finish without gassing.

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

I had a hook spammer tell me I suck because I repeatedly took him down. I told him he was terrible because at least most no skill hook button mashers still know how to sprawl. He couldn't do that. He claimed he wasn't but Noone with tsc was comboing hooks together the way he did. Felt good to beat one of them suckers.

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

Sounds like Undisputed; getting messages about being a wuss because you take it down.

I haven't had the misfortune of facing a button spammer yet thank god. Way to kick his @$$ though. Stupid spammers
