I'm normally not an online player, but playing against a buddy of mine in UFC 3 was an absolute blast. Two of my favorite things were sways and feints. Sometimes we would get in some unbelievable slug-fest (ala Hendricks/Lawler) where we would just stand toe-to-toe and sway out of the way of shot after shot. Coming forward and landing a big uppercut after swaying backwards was a thing of beauty. With feints I loved feinting a takedown, then stepping through with a huge overhand right (Hendo-style). Adding those elements would really help with depth of gameplay. Playing the demo for the first time last night and not having those tools at my disposal really took the wind out of my sails.

One thing that was nice though was making the A.I. look silly by stepping out of the way of a flurry by flicking LS, then landing a combo before they knew what hit them. I must say, it was very Dillashaw-esque.

Jones is rated higher, so I guess it would be easier to win with him.

That's exactly why every sports game needs Arcade and Sim settings like NBA 2K has had for years. Obviously the suits think that "Rock em Sock em Robots" is what sells... and honestly they're correct for the most part. Little Billy Casual fan doesn't want to feel out their opponent for 3-4 minutes like some of the fighters do in real life. If they could just find a happy medium between the two, then I would be content. Like most of guys here, I'm hoping that the A.I. is less aggressive on higher difficulty levels, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

I think this game is going to have a lot of potential for online "sim" guys. Guys who play the right way and don't just run in with Haymaker after Haymaker. Guys who don't spam take downs or whatever else. Unfortunately, I'm getting away from gaming online, so I'm really banking on the CPU A.I. being smarter on higher difficulties.

I'm also concerned about telling the difference between opponents. Obviously, Bones and Gus have some what similar styles and honestly I can't tell too much of a difference fighting with or against them. I'm hoping that there's a bigger disparity between fighters who aren't so much alike.
