While my opponent will seem to have a bunch

Power punches. Strikes that use the modifiers.

I was thinking it was those. Although I don't use them that often, guess I need to start

I thought so too and then I increased my modified strikes and it didn't seem to reflect. But guys online use them a lot.

(This is the part where I ramble about stamina and how a significant strike shouldn't be so easy to release).

How do ppl guard themselves with a red flashing head like nothing happens??? They are just holding auto block and survive every attack.

When i get a red flashing head my hands drop everytime and i get a knockout shot

At first I thought it was after I countered and landed a big hit but that for sure is not it

You need to mix up your attacks. If they are blocking the head, attack the body or throw more diverse strikes at the head. Or take them down and attack the head from there.

I noticed you can't knee the body from back side control. That blows because quite often I would get a guy on all 4's and I will spin to their side and want to blast them with knees to their side but can't. All you are allowed to throw are punches......

Also noticed in regular side control you get stood up pretty quick if all you are doing are throwing knees and elbows to the body. Shouldn't be like that all....

Next game they need to make some serious changes:

1. More cage interaction, wall walk, sit up along the cage, severely limit the type of submission moves you can do off your back stuff up against the cage.

2. Sprawl animation

3. Knees to the body from back side control

4. Being able to work the body on the ground without getting automatically stood up.

5. Change the single leg animation.

6. Add more takedowns in general.

7. Limit the type of takedowns different fighters can pull off. Some fighters in real life are good at single leg, some are only good at double leg, etc.

8. Leg kick TKO

9. Dedicated run button

10. Standing submissions

11. Full mount reversal and side control reversal should be eliminated completely or limited to once per a round. I say eliminate it though. Just seems unrealistic to me to see a weaker guy flip a much bigger guy off of him.

12. Fix the permanent damage and stamina issue. Modified strikes should cost way more energy then regular strikes.

13. Instant replay system with full camera control for we can take better pictures.

14. The ability to throw standing elbows. Not spinning elbows, but forward elbows like Faber and Jon Jones do sometimes in their fights.

So only 14 things to fix?

Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

Really can't stand the ground game anymore. It's a transition/sweep fest because you have to try and guess which direction to block on the ground. Which is impossible in certain positions (like transitions from half guard). Also sometimes the camera swivels around and gets stuck in certain places so you can't see things like the fighter on the bottom or how a guy is trying to transition.

Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

I love the game so far, sure theres a few things that are corny like the handful of takedown animations but the stand up is spot on and the graphics are as next gen as any game out there.

Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

The transition spam gets old quick. Unless you block and even then they can do another while your are lucky to land a single punch

I think if you block one then there should be a longer period before they can try another. If not that at least make it when there energy is low while yours is high then there transition should fail regardless if you block it(not always just depending on stats and energy will determine how often a unblocked one fails)

[SwedishTouch76]

Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

Ya theres no penalty to spamming transitions or takedown attempts. Guys can literally shoot nonstop with nothing to lose. Just get pushed away. Mindblowing they didn't put the intercept knee in. Stops that real quick. I had a guy using Belfort attempt 90 takedowns. No real penalty or stamina loss for doing so.
Im a bit shocked so many things were overlooked considering the time they had. Reversals should be THQ style. Flick rs. With a cool down period in between.

I don't have the game but what is the best difficulty level to play against the AI? The reason I ask is I am mainly an offline player with sports games. Thanks.
