    I was thinking that same thing after last night. What bothers me is the claims the game is made from the ground up. That is simply not true. They even use the same Fight Night crowd sound effects.

    With that, I don't mind that it is the same developed game. It is that the philosophy is the same. It is this thinking that an insane amount of energy can be used with little consequence on both sides. This game would improve greatly if they would just increase the power of a hit and increase stamina drain for throwing so many hits.

      I think the best solution is to leave the game as is and label is as Arcade Mode and create a new mode call SIM Mode with more effect on stamina draining, striking and ground and pound game. Everyone would be happy. The casual can play spamming the kick all day and the more hardcore fan can play a mode more tailored to their need.

      Make it happen EA.

        As someone who just stopped fighting in Fight Night Champion this April i can tell you that the ability to make HUGE gameplay shifts with patches existed in that foundation.

        They swung and missed a few times but the last time they made an adjustment the formula was as balanced as it ever was and fighting had a better risk / reward. Most people had traded the game in by that time but the game play made big changes with each patch as far as speed of fighters to stamina to effectiveness of certain strikes. As they changed one thing another thing became cheese but in the end over the last year it still had flaws but you stood a chance if you fought your style vs anyone. I used to use HW Meldrik Johnson and take the Tyson spammers apart.

        An example for those that didnt play FNC, at one point jabs were useless, then in EA style you could jab and run around and you coundnt get caught and win just off of jabs. In the end with the last patch a Jab was a jab. You could get distance, keep a guy off and control the fight but a jab alone wasn't winning the fight and strong fighters could walk through the jab.

        My hope is they can tweak this game to get it balanced and close to right. Doesnt have to be perfect, just move in that direction.

            Ok,

            So Have had my first frustration with the game. Unless I am missing something. Last night when I got home from work, I started a career. GameFace wasn't working so I created a fighter to get started. I played pretty much all night and got to the point I am fighting on the Main Cards. Then before bed, GameFace worked. I created another fighter with my GameFace and started a Career. When I backed out after the first fight on TUF, my other career was no where to be found.

            Long story short, can you only have ONE fighter going through Career mode at a time? if so, that is SO STUPID!

              I think it would cool if EA did a patch that would link power moves and special moves to stamina. Example, you can't do a flying kick off the cage or a power slam if your drained. Instead you'll do basic moves until you gain at least half of your energy. This is would make the game more sim because you don't see fighters spamming special moves in real life and when they do use them, it's not when they're dead tired. This would eliminate the constant barrage of Jon Jones circus kicks I run into online lol.

                Yeah every now and again you might go for a desperation punch/highlight reel kick when tired but for the most part it would cut down a lot of the problems.

                  EA need to smooth out their servers. The lag can be terrible at times and it makes doing submissions impossible to do when the game is lagging. And this stamina thing needs to be patched ASAP. I see the following happening online:

                  People spamming spinning back elbows non stop back to back all game long. But yet they don't gas.

                  People spamming flying knee back to back with Overeem. But yet they don't gas.

                  Bruce Lee shouldn't be allowed online. All people do with him is spinning back kick to liver back to back non stop. But yet they don't gas.

                  LEG KICKS TKO NEED TO HAPPEN DAMN IT !

                  I was Rousey, this guy was Miesha Tate. I kicked his left leg 153 times solid contact. Her leg was dark purple. We fought all 3 rounds. Did it slow her down ? Hell no....She was still able to do power slams, still was able to move at her normal speed. Still was able to kick with that leg with the same power too. She was still able to defend my take downs with ease. And the few times I did take her down, she was instantly able to get back up by kicking me off with her legs even with a SUPPOSE TO BE messed up leg within 10 seconds of me taking her down.

                  Other then visuals and the announcers saying look at her leg, it didn't effect her at all. THIS IS BS.

                    Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

                    Another thing that bugs me in this game is the judging in general(because so many fights go the distance). Its hard to figure out exactly what the game is looking for when it comes to who wins and loses a round. This is made worse by the fact that sometimes Buffer doesn't tell you the scorecard at the end of the fight, and you can't go somewhere and see who won what round.

                    Why not add judges scorecards to the fight statistics screen so you can get a feel for what rounds you're winning or losing, and adapt accordingly.

                      Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

                      Every point made above is true. No point using leg kicks. No risk to spamming takedowns transitions or mod strikes. I mean honestly this is MMA Streetfighter. I had a guy last night using GSP that I tuned up for 2.5 rounds. 3 knockdowns. Last min of round 3 with barely any stamina he throws like 8 front kicks in a row and ko's me. Same deal with another guy only ge spammed body shots with no stamina and got a liver shot ko.
                      Im supposed to take this game seriously?

                        So true. As long as the other guy backing away while being stunned, you can never catch up to him since they both are going at the same speed lol.

                          The best scenario would be to penalize stamina in a large way when someone keeps going to it. Long term stamina drops and does not come back. And if you keep doing it then you are highly susceptible to a KO.

                          This game may not be Tekken, but you throw in Bruce Lee doing kicks over and over, the same animation and little stamina drop...it sure comes close to Tekken.

                          I don't want to bash the game. I was just so excited that this one would carry through like I used FNC, but with improvements.

                              stamina is easily my biggest complaint with this game athlough leg damage is making a run for it. both are kind of a joke right now with all the things that have been discussed already
