Re: EA Sports UFC Available Now, Post Your Impressions

I've been running a lot of unranked matches lately and I'm seeing a lot more variation in fighters than I did in online championship. I guess people aren't as afraid to experiment when they don't have their record on the line. I had several very good fights earlier today. My last three matchups were Camouche/Zingano, Mir/Nelson and Carmont/Mousasi. Maybe all of the casuals traded this in already because I don't see nearly the amount of BS that I did when the game first dropped.

I still play against the computer quite a bit too. I can win on Pro, but I find that Hard provides me with the best matches for how I play. It's really unfortunate that some sort of event and tournament modes didn't make the cut in this game, though. That really would've added a lot for me.

Actually one of the most enjoyable things in previous UFC games beyond actually fighting was watching the other matches on the card. What Id love to see in the next UFC game is the ability to watch other matches on the card. Especially when you have those main events where the co-main event will determine who's going to fight the winner of the main event down the road.

Also, still on the "specatator" enjoyment aspect of the previous UFC games, I would LOVE a mode where you are just a trainer. You start with a basic GYM and a couple of low ranked figthers. You use your gameplans like we have in this years to outfit your fighter for each fight. Also I'd love to see gameplans go further in a "trainer" mode where you could tell your fighters what aspects of the game or opponent's game to focus on.. I could also see traits on fighters you get into your camp like determining how well they follow the gameplan you put forth with them, etc. Id love to see as you become more successful, better fighters want to come to your gym and be part of your team, even to the point where the real named fighters might come and want to join.. id also love to see some fighters that might leave. You could have a lot of fun with only having X amount of time/or whatever to allot to each fighter and maybe a certain fighter in your camp hasnt been getting as much attention from you as he'd like to and eventually leaves your camp.

For me at least there would be something super exciting about you going into an event with your figheter and while the fight is going on you can almost coach him (just like the dudes in real life are shouting from ringside).. maybe it could be voice activated to? Id love to be able to give adjustments to your fighter between rounds, but maybe thats an ability you unlock as a trainer later on kinda like NCAA when youre a coach. There's something cool about not being in complete control of a fighter youve been training and putting time into to see how he performs.

EA DEVS, you guys gotta make this happen. This would be an awesomely deep and rewarding experience... for the sim heads like me out there.

I'm really enjoying winning with fighters online that I probably shouldn't. I just finished beating JDS with Pat Barry and Gustafsson with Royce Gracie. So much fun. A guy using TJ Dillashaw wrecked me, though. They made him so fast, he's a handful when being controlled by a competent user.

Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but thought this was pretty funny.

Hahaha that was hilarious. Fortunately, I haven't come across any of these glitches while playing yet.
