Its much worse on easy and normal. On hard and very hard, the cpu is more likely to defend and take a step back. I've actually gone 30 seconds with the CPU not throwing punches because it was stepping back and resetting looking for counters.

On Easy and Normal, the CPU is careless so it just goes forward.

Are they still constantly coming forward even though they're not throwing strikes? That seems to be the big issue. They don't attack too much if they're out of range on any difficulty for the most part. It's when they get in range that they start flurrying, and since they keep coming forward, they're always threatening to be in-range.

On advanced, the CPU isn't throwing as much, but for the most part, it's still plodding forward. Now it's just coming forward and waiting before it strikes lol.

Hats off to anybody who can beat Anderson Silva on the highest difficulty level, I think they call it Legendary this year. That guy is a bob and weave master. Take him to the ground, he will either submit you or QUICKLY put you in the butterfly guard and kick you off him.

Seriously he made me look FOOLISH. Out of 20 punches, I landed just 5 of them because he bobbed and weaved the rest of them, left me hitting nothing but air.

He even KO'ed me with a jab like he did Forest Griffin.

I'm just getting dissapointed while reading these things. I've been waiting for a SIMULATION ufc game since 2009 but here we go again. I'll still try the demo when available for silver users like me and make my final decision about should I buy this or not. But feels like this game hasn't changed enough. Maybe I'll keep 2010 and punch my *** of striking buttons and then get submitted

I really like the commentary with the exception of when a fight goes to a decision. Just because it goes to the judges doesn't mean that it's boring (see Hendo/Shogun, Edgar/Maynard 2, etc.).

Not sure I am understanding you, are you saying that when you have a fight go to decision, the commentary after the match is saying it was a boring fight? If you are, I am having a completely different experience. Two of the fights that I had go to decision, Rogan kept going on and on about how this fight was the fight of the century....or something along those lines.

Perhaps you should wait until you actually have played the demo or game before you give your "impression". There have been a good amount of changes from 10 to this year (in the demo anyways).

You will NEVER see a simulation UFC game. Whether its THQ, EA or any developer.

In most of the fights that I had last night (I can't remember the exact commentary), but most of the time it ended with Rogan saying something along the lines of "Yeah, that definitely wasn't embarrassing". Maybe it's because I'm trying to fight at a slower place. Nevertheless, it's the same line that I heard a gazillion times in 2010. I have heard a new line in there too that I can't quite remember (I'll pay more attention the next time I play) so I know they did put some work into commentary. I'm just hoping that we hear a variety of commentary and that it is closer to NBA 2K than Madden.

Man this demo is tight. Admittedly, I liked the EA Sports MMA game better than the last UFC game, but this one looks like a whole new animal. I still think the right stick feels better than the face buttons as far as stand-up, but I'll get the hang of it again I'm sure. At least they fixed the submission system. It's actually like a rich man's version of the MMA sub system, where you try to overlap the other guy's cursor to tap him out. The beauty of this, however, is that you can actually see both cursors, rather than blindly flipping the stick around waiting for a vibration. I don't know, it just makes me feel like I'm not being cheated so much by the CPU.

I moved it up to Advanced and am getting better results, but I'm not crazy about how they work stamina. It's not that they are completely wrong about it. If you get hit too much your stamina drains, as it should, but still...if a guy is in your face, throwing a bunch of punches, he should be draining fast.

I need to give Advanced more time, but I think overall it feels right. I feel like if you defend yourself, the CPU does back off. Maybe the CPU is overly aggressive based on the user being more contemplative in his approach. That would actually be nice as someone who can knock you out with one shot should try and get in there and land it.

However, I think if you come out overly aggressive, you should drop in energy faster.

As popular as MMA is, the hardcore fans are still a small minority. Most people want the rock em sock em robots version of this game. This is probably the most frustrating thing for most OSers to understand.

I have a group of friends who come over to my house and watch most UFC events. All of them are knowledgable about the sport and love it. However, when they play Undisputed, they could care less about many of the things we complain about (Over Agressive AI, Constant reversals, The Rule of 3).

The best that we can hope for is that THQ gives us sliders or allows us to edit fighters in the future so that we can make the game a simulation.

Finally played it last night. A lot of your guys impressions were spot on. I wish they would have kept the ground game like '09. Having someone on the ground felt totally dominant if you knew what you were doing. Now, it feels like only a matter of time before they get up or reverse you.

I hate how they come out aggressive. But like his they back off if you take it to them. Looks like I'm buying.

2009. When me and my friends first started playing it, we played it like a fighting game. Head kicks and hooks. I found my way to this section of OS and learned how to play it. Once I utilized the ground game and guys didn't know how to transition, they no longer wanted to play anymore and said I played like a bitch. They thought 2010 was better. Idiots.

I agree the ground game in 09 was perfect. I remember in my WW career if Matt Hughes ever got on top of me I was done for. Now I can either easily kick him off after three quick flicks of the stick or set some sort of house rule to neuter myself. I'd love to see them patch this, but I'm certainly not going to hold my breath.

Exactly. We want realism but the masses dont. The masses always win.
