Re: EA Sports UFC Hands-On Impressions

"Blocking engages EA Sports UFC's countering system, which is similar to the one in Fight Night. A well-timed avoidance of an attack will give you a split-second window during which your opponent has to recover from missing the attack, and if you can hit them at that time, the attack will deal more damage than usual. Being able to take advantage of counterattack windows requires an additional level of skill that players of traditional fighting games, like Street Fighter, will already be familiar with."

Bye EA, you guys are morons. That can (and has) singlehandedly make your games unplayable for MANY people looking for a simulation experience.

I can't believe they think this is a good idea (still).

I hate the counter windows in Fight Night but that can be turned down by lowering the sliders. As long as this game has sliders that can address it, I'm OK with it.

If the game doesn't freeze, its actually fairly realistic because you are pretty vulnerable when over extended. If the have a freeze frame that triggers this window. I will be disappointed. But calm down and lets wait and see how this counter window is executed. EAMMA had a window, but it didnt have a freeze. You timed it right and you dealt a much more damaging strike or rocked your opponent or even got a one hitter quitter.

The freeze frame in Fight Night was terrible. But if the window is executed like EA MMA, we might have a winner.

I'd love to say that I need to see more (specifically game play) before making a buying decision. But, who would I be kidding?

Now I do hope if you are winging non stop hooks and power shots you are suceptible to being taken down especially by great wrestlers lime GSP Hendricks Rashad Jones Cain etc. It was way too easy to stuff a takedown in EAMMA while just swinging with wreckless abandon.

Not getting hype til I see the game in motion. After all these years, people still getting hyped over EA trailers. Movement still look stiff like Fight Night from what I could see.

Wow that looked amazing, hopefully the gameplay is just as good as the graphics. UFC and the show should hold me till the fall. Bring it on!

Re: EA Sports UFC Trailer, Fighting and Submission Details Revealed

A couple of other things the video confirmed:

Multiple arenas: The MGM (you can see the MGM logo on the railings when Evans is entering the Octagon) was already confirmed but there is at least one other. The arena that Jones does his cartwheel in is significantly different than the arena Liddell and Pettis are in. Not surprised that this is the case but good to see it in the game anyway.

Randy Couture is one of the fighters in the Hayes background. Randy being in the game would maybe indicate that there will be a number of classic/hall of fame fighters in the game (Mark Coleman is also in the background). Couture is interesting though. He has a deal with EA so EA wouldnt have an issue with using him in the game but would the UFC allow it since he is on the outs with Dana right now?

Between this, the screenshots they've already released and the cover vote they've released a total of 36 fighters so far (by my count). Which means if there's nearly 100 fighters in the game, over a third of them have already been announced.

They better have a Pride Mode with Pride arena with Pride fighters in their prime in the game. So I hope EA took that idea from THQ.

Doubtful. Less than a 100 fighters in this game so I doubt that any Pride fighters are in the game. Plus I'm not sure if I even want them. I'd rather the game focus on UFC fighters of today.

I marked out for Ronda.

Still haven't seen any actual gameplay. Everything is pre-fight or replay stuff.
