Speaking of online what do you think is gonna be abused the most or hardest thing to defense against?

Never played any of them online besides the very first one. And mainly it was everybody picked the best guy over and over

Super man punch and round house kicks. Both are way over powered and easy to KO somebody with, especially on a counter. Got quite a few KO's within the 1st 20 seconds of the fight just from spamming those 2 moves.

I also can see power slams being abused too because they are pretty easy to pull off and causes a decent amount of damaged.

And finally, thai clinch up against the cage. If people don't block the knees, you can KO somebody after 4 or 5 knees.

Can someone explain a portion of the submission game to me? I've watched the EA YouTube numerous times. Says hold R1 and push RS in a direction for different subs. Ive tried this from numerous positions including full mount and north/south. Its only once I hold R1 and rotate the RS that a submission is attempted. Not understanding what Im missing here.
Its comical btw that I gas after three strikes as Jones while Gus throws 12 combo flurries

You rotate not push. Rotate to the left for 1 type of sub, rotate to the right for a different kind of sub.

I think the abuse will first come with guys trying to use the modified strikes to get the KO. But it looks like that can be defended against. I don't see many trying to sub. It's rather hard to pull off.

But I think that most will look for a heavy hitter and try and go that route.

Yeah I can see the following used the most online:

Heavyweight

Dos Santos
Overeem
Roy Nelson

Light Heavyweight

Gustafsson
Jon Jones
Chuck Liddell
Dan Henderson

Middleweight

Anderson Silva
Dan Henderson
Robbie Lawler

Welterweight

GSP
Robbie Lawler
Johnny Hendricks

Lightweight

Bruce Lee
Anthony Pettis

Featherweight

Bruce Lee
Jose Aldo

Bantamweight

Bruce Lee

Flyweight and women division probably won't get much love online since nobody in those 2 divisions really have KO power that an average person can spam strikes with.

And like you said, I am pretty sure people will quit as soon as a fight goes to the ground. I mean hell people were doing that in the last 3 UFC games and their submission system weren't even hard.

R1, RS in one of four directions, and the rotate to initiate. The direction initiates the attempt, the rotation completes the attempt. The attempt can be denial during the phase as well. A very similar mechanic to passing. Once the submission is initiated the mini game starts.

I just hope the dev team gives respect to stamina with online play. But the power straight in FNC was never resolved for online play. All they had to do was punish a guy for throwing multiple haymakers.

If thee is no consequence for spamming power punches/kicks, online will be a mess.

Sorry for being so dense. So if I hold R1 and push RS up I would then rotate from 12-3 or 12-9? Or am I picking a direction, releasing and then rotating? I tried holding R1 and pushing RS in various directions. I didnt see anything initiate. Not sure what im doing wrong.

For the life of me i cant grasp this submission thing, still have no clue what holding r1 and pushing rs in a direction does. when i hold r1 and rotate 9-12 or 3-12 seems to be only thing that initiates a submission. how i choose what submission i have no clue. but my patience has run out.

Re: EA Sports UFC Demo Available Now, Post Your Impressions Here (Xbox One, PS4)

I'll try that

I almost wish you could make the submission circle smaller. It's kinda hard to keep a eye on all sides. Practice, practice I guess

snap an app on the side. Or if you are on ps4 broadcast with the chat window enabled.

I don't think it matters, as long as you rotate the stick a quarter circle in either direction after pressing one of left/right/up/down. I say "I don't think" because I don't have the game in front of me at the moment and I'm going off memory, and the controls are kind of second nature at this point. But I'm pretty sure I'm right. Note that not all positions have a submission for a given direction either.

Each position on the ground has different submissions available, so not all directions will do something for all positions.

Full guard (on the bottom) I believe has all four directions so it's a good place to practice. The easiest way to practice is to play a two player game with no one controlling the other fighter. Take your opponent down and explore all the positions and submissions available.

Hey SwedishTouch, let me help you out here..

First of all, check out this link to see the list of all submissions in the game, and how to do them - http://www.easports.com/ufc/news-upd...ks-submissions

Then go to Tutorial > Lesson 16 Attempting Submissions. You'll start out as Jones in the Guard (Submissive) position. If you look at the list above, it says that you can do 4 different types of submissions from this position - guillotine, armbar, omoplata, triangle. Now, to attempt a submission, first hold R1 then push the RS in the direction corresponding the submission you want to attempt - right for guillotine, left for armbar, down for omoplata, up for triangle. If you just hold the RS in the direction you choose (do not rotate yet), you will actually see Jones prepare to initiate the submission. There are different animations for the different submissions. Go ahead, try holding the RS in each of the 4 directions and see what Jones is doing. From there, rotate the RS a quarter circle in either direction to initiate the submission and start the mini-game. Of course in a live match you don't have to hold on to the RS in the direction for too long - just push and rotate the RS in one motion.

Take note that not all positions will have 4 submissions available to them. Some will have 2, some will only have 1. From half-guard submissive you only have twister and kimura, done by pushing the RS to the left or right respectively, then rotate. If you push up (or down) then rotate, nothing will happen.

Check out the list of submissions, try them out. Hope this helps!

Yep, if you have another controller available, much better to practice in a live match setting to explore all the different submissions from each position.

I tried playing the demo a few times and it was too overwhelming. I just don't think I would ever be able to learn the controls. I'll just stick to watching the UFC on tv.
