EA Sports UFC: Early Reviews Good to Mixed

Re: EA Sports UFC: Early Reviews Good to Mixed

I think the reviews are pretty spot on so far, honestly. I think there are good things about the game and bad things about the game, and every review I have read so far seems to point them out, some more harshly than others. It's a pretty fun game. Not a 9 or 10 but definitely not a 1 or 2 either. When I look at metacritic and I read the summaries from the professional reviews I think they all seem accurate.

Not getting the game, but I think with their first shot at it the reviews are good. Next year, and I know we hate that, but give them another year and hopefully the package is a bit deeper.

It's not a yearly title.

Every fight feels organic it's quite stunning actually minus maybe say a ugly10% of smoothness issue it's all very flowing. Graphically anyone can see THIS is next gen from player models skin bruising it's all so well done this first time around. I feel the arenas are very alike but watching any fight you see just the ring but I'd like more of a feel that it's the whole staples center MGM grand were in. Sad you can't make female fighters and sad that you can't have more created fighters sad I don't watch UFC to know who I am fighting with but this game has done something interesting .... It's made tomba interested in UFC =)

Re: EA Sports UFC: Early Reviews Good to Mixed

wasn't overly impressed with the demo at all. transitions were stickier then they used to be.

On my way home now to play the retail version. Assuming its not drastically different from the demo what I gathered was the game has potential its just it was obvious its a debut game. Its not deep in gameplay and features. I feel like this game can be very good in years to come though. Its a solid foundation.

[Coolade]

This game is amazing to me. It's a "foundation" builder for future titles, so my expectations have already been in check. They will release 2 or 3 more of these games, and what we have so far is great. I've only played online, I've gone 6 and 2. Lost to bruce lee and a flash leg kick KO to start a match. Playing humans is where the most fun is had. Haven't touched career mode yet.

I'll give it a 7.9/10 which for me is good. I play on Pro and the lack of AI and non stop spam can drive you crazy. Also I don't even attempt submissions or mess with the ground game because the CPU is too dominant with guards, passes, and submissions.

[jaredsmith83]

I think once the stamina issue and the cpu ground dominance gets patched up, its going to be a lot better. Patience is rewarded against the computer though. Its not quite what a lot of us were expecting, but for its things we knock, it does have some things of beauty to it. I will agree about this being the foundation game. Remember how Undisputed 2009 was? Its a similar situation. They're learning the new system, the new engine, etc so now that this is out and they're getting input, things will hopefully be put in motion for change from there.

[DBMcGee3]

I finally had the demo sink its hooks into me last night. I figured out how to block transitions, rather than always trying to advance them, and more importantly I started blocking and moving my feet. Suddenly, the CPU was punching itself out and I was timing my strikes and landing them, which is especially lethal when your opponent is gassed. I'm not saying the game is perfect by any means, but once you get a grasp on the controls, it really is pretty engaging, for me at least.

Cause they haven't wasted there $ on PS4 or Xbox One either.

This game in my opinion is an enhanced version of what UFC Undisputed 2009 was in regards of an initial debut regarding gameplay, individuality and depth. Does it have it all out the gate, clearly not. This game does have fundamental aspects within it's base for this being the first title.

They have a lot of room to build upon, correct problems and expand from. I seen the comments regarding the leg "health events" and how fighters can kick off the cage and do powerful takedowns, etc. Remember, you could have a leg "health event" in Undisputed 3 and recover to do powerful slams, kicks, superman punches, etc. off the same bum leg as well. Also recall that it wasn't until that third game where you could win by leg kick tko.

Is this game a letdown to an extent, yeah I can definitely see it was for some. To me it's a legit foundation to expand from going forward. The realism and authenticity depth can be expanded upon accordingly as they develop the next game. Yeah, it may suck that there won't be a game next year, but it's good imo so that way, they don't have to rush anything and possibly have to leave things on the cutting room floor due to time constraints development-wise.

[notoriouzwun]

My issues are simple. I would have seen online camps especially with the fifa promotion/relegation stuff. Individual is fun but one for camps would have been great. Also playing in Champions is a cheesefest of take downs for points. The leader had a 344 takedown per 15 minute rating and it didnt get much better. Its not who can fight better but who has better takedown defense. Rivalries is all ill play because there is actually technique in playing with friends. My last complaint is with high knees superman punches and basically anything Showtime. Next years game should have a meter that fills up during a fight to use one strategically. Leg kicks have no real effect either. I can have a guy with a flashing red leg and he can still superman punch off the cage for power.
