Re: EA Sports UFC Demo Arrives June 3rd, Features Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson

I liked those videos, only complaint I saw was some of the spinning moves being done too close.

I know once I play this, I won't be able to not buy it.

Knockouts are kind of an eyesore, specifically how you can't get on top of them after and have the referee pull you off.

Just looks way unrealistic, it also looks like they almost die when they get knocked out, and the fighter and the referee are just standing there looking at him, hopefully something to be worked on for the next version. Have knockouts look more realistic.

I have noticed this in a couple steams.

Overall it looks pretty good to me though, am excited to play it for myself

If you're talking about my stream, I have no idea how to play and the cpu doesn't help either. Same old cpu super aggressive spamming power punches.

I'm sure it'll be better playing humans, but this game isn't fun against cpu. Animations are weak as well

I am hoping there is some simulation setting in the final version that makes the CPU more fun to play against.

There wont be. No sliders and no sim setting. The game is an arcade game so MMA fans like us will have to find a way to make due.

Has anyone else gotten the license error/lock?

To be fair, the demo is locked to Easy Difficulty. Surely the AI will fight smarter on higher difs.

The game begs for Fight Night controls, I just hate throwing punches and kicks with the face buttons.

Dude you have to be kidding me! So I wanted to check out damage and was using two controllers. Bloodied up Gustafsson and then accidentally went for a strong punch in side control and knocked him out....the ref stood us up and backed us both up and was setting up to making us continue then Gustafsson just fell over backwards and went to sleep

This game is incredible. Got my a** whooped the first couple of fights, but now I'm getting the hang of the controls and doing good.

There are some serious issues with this game...I understand it's a demo but seeing some very "glitchy" and "buggy" things happening

Very slowly getting used to the ground/clinch game. Breaking old UFC habits is tough.

The defensive control scheme is much deeper making simple takedown, clinch, and ground transition defenses much harder for me. Im getting crushed on the ground where that was my BnB in previous games. Its frustrating but addicting.

I have yet to defend a clinch transition, and i can't seem to hold control while on top unless im going for many transitions. Fighters posture up on me at will.

Very well animated. Some of the reactions in the stand up are amazing to behold. I like the damage philosophy in this game it reminds me of EA MMA.

Im thinking this is the deepest, hardest to learn and hardest to master combats sports game i've ever played. Its a whole new level of finger arcobatics and animation recognition. You have to defend right OR left transitions on the ground. Defending a transition is either side while defending a stand up attempt is upward. Both need to be combined with the RT(R2) to work.

Tough as nails to learn but impossible to put down.

Just played the demo on the p4 but I dont get the submissions mini games. How does it work?

kind of like simon says. The tutorial does a decent job of explaining it.

On offense your pushing the r-stick to defend the escape. After a few successful 'guesses' your prompted to advance the submission by flicking lstick in the direction indicated. Then it begins again

on defense your pushing the rstick to move the grey bar toward the outside of the zone. If you do this before the offense advances position you escape

Re: EA Sports UFC Demo Arrives June 3rd, Features Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson

Very impressed with this effort.

I think i saw a headline about next gen gaming coming to expectation and I think this experience is the true definition of HD gaming. The picture is absolutely amazing. I wonder what it would look like as a spectator, but there are definitely moments (in between rounds and takedowns for ex.) that i feel like im watching a $70 PPV.

The game play is good, could be great, maybe still has a chance to be great the deeper it gets. I agree with

The game begs for Fight Night controls, I just hate throwing punches and kicks with the face buttons.

this game would be interesting with fight night controls; I find myself wanting to throw a left hook and struggling to remember the control combination. It feels as though it has controls of an arcade fighting game where your player has 16 strikes to chose from and you need to know the button combos. But it is done well with the animations. It takes a bit of getting used to the timing and distance nuances between different strike.

Grappling game takes some getting used to for me. I struggle with knowing what move i'm actually performing. I think the way the grappling game plays like rock paper scissors could be accomplished on the buttons. This could have opened up the sticks for striking. If i remember correctly (from the 5 times i played it) EA Sports MMA had grappling on the buttons. Then the freestyle of striking on the sticks would be amazing in terms of the combinations that can be executed.


but the submission game is pretty dame cool. I just finished a triangle choke on Bones Jones where the battle lasted maybe 30 seconds, went through about 4 or 5 levels, and finally won the war. Was very curious how this looked as a spectator to see how that struggle looked. It seemed as though it was a struggle to lock the triangle in real tight, I think he went to sleep....

It would be very interesting to see how it would play with striking on the sticks. I can't imagine the next version not being that way. It would open up so many more ways a fight can go. The presentation is good, but there are little things that could be improved. The show blows it out of the water, maybe even ps3 was better. When skipping through cutscenes, commentary is cut too...so i missed out on some awesome Rogan analysis that may have been helpful

THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW. WILL PROBABLY BUY THIS GAME!
