GameplayDevUFC, are you going to allow us to use offline mode until the game is released? *Fingers Crossed* Most of us didn't get a chance to play that much so i was hoping this is the case.

I dont think that is GPD's call but the beta is still available for me right now.

If you didn't get in on the beta right away, are you poop out of luck?

Yeah, they arent handing out codes anymore. Also there is no demo so the earliest people will see the game is on March 10 when the game is released on EA Access.

5 bucks to start the game early?
Just might have to do it for this one.

I'm hoping that I'm going to get a copy of the game the first week of March but if not I'll be rolling with Access even though I plan to play exclusively on the ps4.

I know it's not his call but I'm sure he knows what's up...

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

I've noticed a couple things against the CPU.

1) They can go on runs where they parry 6 to 8 strikes in a row no matter if u mix it up or not.

2) How do you tell which side to defend when they have your back in the sitting position? I can deny it staring at the icon but can't figure out from the hand fighting which direction they are going without the icons off. They are simply fighting with your hands so the "tell" I can't figure out.

I'm not seeing this at all. The most I've seen in a row is 4 and thats because I kept leading with the same punch. When I mix it up and throw feints, I rarely even see more than 2 in a row.

There was one really neat thing I noticed in the beta that I think I forgot to mention. A few times when someone was throwing one of the crazier spinning kick I happened to go for a takedown (or maybe it was a grapple) partway through their attempt. When you do that your fighter will basically just shove your opponent to the ground. Really cool that they included that.

I like the game overall, just not a fan of the ground game, which seems to be how a lot of people feel about it.

will be interesting to see the differences between the beta and retail.

all in all I will buy, nothing is perfect

I don't see what you are seeing. On this board, I've seen 4-5 people say they don't like the ground game and half of them say they like it but they think there are issues with denials. On the UFC board it's damn near universal that people prefer the new ground game.

Re: EA Sports UFC 2 Beta Available, Post Your Impressions Here

Yea ive complained about denials but the ground game in general is way better.

I have issues with some of the denials too. I just cant see how someone could prefer the ground game from UFC 1 or other games to this. The only one that compares in my opinion is UFC 3 and thats more because of the moves that were available. Things like butterfly guard and the ability to scoot to the cage and then wall walk are things the EA UFC series needs.

Not sure I like the way the judging logic favors accuracy, which is not a real life judging criteria. Had online fights where I soundly outlanded my opponent but lost because I was busier and he was more accurate.

Meanwhile, reading this post about parries, something caught my eye:

Wait, how are you throwing feints? I know about the takedown feint (press all 4 shoulder buttons), but much of the time I can't get it to work.

well we're seeing different things I guess.

I like the game overall I've said, it's a step in the right direction everywhere, I've never said ufc 1 was better.

Hold R1 and R2 and hit a strike button. It works for kicks and punches.
