The aggressive ai may be because of the round timing. It is not a full 5 mins. I don't know why they have to use an accelerated clock when you are only talking about 25 minutes max. It looks like the round timing is close to 2.5 minutes. They should make that an option to change and then that would probably help keep the ai back and not charging the whole time.

Its much worse on easy and normal. On hard and very hard, the cpu is more likely to defend and take a step back. I've actually gone 30 seconds with the CPU not throwing punches because it was stepping back and resetting looking for counters.

On Easy and Normal, the CPU is careless so it just goes forward.

For the UFC i was Jon Jones and spent most of the fight on top of Silva on the ground, just landing elbows. I won a decision in that fight. The next one i ended up TKOing him after landing a nice spinning back fist to drop him. I was impressed with this years game and it does make me want to go out and get it but the only complaints i really had were the ability to circle still isn't that great. It's important in real life fighting to be able to move in and out or cirlce around but in video games you often are forced to stand in front of your opponent. The other thing was that they make Jon Jones throw too many spinning back elbows. Not that they make you throw them but it's a move that is way too easy to overuse especially because it's one of his best to KO people with. The last thing is picky but just the lack of emotion from Buffer. Anyone who watches the UFC know about his signature moves and how nuts he goes especially for main events. But in the game you don't get that emotion. In addition to that the Jon Jones chant sounds kind of lame. They need to work on the crowd noise. Overall though i enjoyed the demo and i'm now at least thinking of buying it. I just how a career mode or season mode where we don't have to create a custom guy can keep me interested enough to justify buying it.

For the first time in a UFC game I am excited about the offline to be honest. The Sim stamina setting and Advanced difficulty is challenging but also fair and the fights can go either way for me. I am excited to see how CAF offline career mode will be. I wanna know if I create a dominant submission guy that I can rule the ground and catch the CPU with submissions this year.

You can take an actual fighter into Career Mode this year. There is a lengthy video on Gamespot where they glance over Career Mode. At about the 23:25 mark they start talking about Career Mode. Here is the link:

Had a pretty awesome moment. I KO'd Silva with Rampage with an uppercut, and when I approached him and pressed X, he did the Hendo forearm smash.

Some transition reversals go directly to a sub.

Holy hell. I can't stop playing Pride mode! Me and some friends have been taking turns doing 1v1's, its so much fun lol. I really love the Pride ruleset, being able to stomp/kick/knee a downed opponents head makes it so much more visceral feeling. So violent! I'm loving it lol.

# 148 OSUFan_88 @ 01/25/12 08:38 PM

Having stayed away from MMA for about a year, this game has suddenly reignited my passion for the sport.

Really an awesome game so far. The PRIDE aspect is AMAZING!

They do a great job with the commentary during replays when a guy gets knocked out.

I really like the commentary with the exception of when a fight goes to a decision. Just because it goes to the judges doesn't mean that it's boring (see Hendo/Shogun, Edgar/Maynard 2, etc.). Hopefully, it's just a demo size issue.

Tonight I played about 11-12 fights (8-9 UFC and the rest Pride). I used the same setting in each fight - Which was expert, default, sim. I didn't see a single knockout in all of the UFC fights. Anyone who played the KO fest that 2010 was knows that this is potentially a great thing. I did get knocked-out by Wandy in Pride mode, but it was about 8 minutes into the fight. The rest of the Pride fights ended in TKO.

I still think that the CPU is a little to aggressive, however I noticed that if you give that a hard counter punch or two, then they will back off quite a bit. I actually noticed a few times were the CPU would go more that 20-25 seconds without making a single offensive move. I'm definitely not seeing the 3 punches and take down thing. I did have one fight were Anderson would grab me in the clinch every chance he got, but that's a positive, in my opinion. I don't want the A.I. to fight the same way every time.

One negative is that the CPU's stamina is off. I kept noticing that my fighters stamina was always less than my opponents at the end of each fight. I turned the HUD on for the last few fights and you can clearly that your stamina drains faster. Unless I'm imagining it, but I don't think that I am.

I agree. I feel that the CPU's stamina is not decreasing at the same pace.

Are they still constantly coming forward even though they're not throwing strikes? That seems to be the big issue. They don't attack too much if they're out of range on any difficulty for the most part. It's when they get in range that they start flurrying, and since they keep coming forward, they're always threatening to be in-range.

On advanced, the CPU isn't throwing as much, but for the most part, it's still plodding forward. Now it's just coming forward and waiting before it strikes lol.

Hats off to anybody who can beat Anderson Silva on the highest difficulty level, I think they call it Legendary this year. That guy is a bob and weave master. Take him to the ground, he will either submit you or QUICKLY put you in the butterfly guard and kick you off him.

Seriously he made me look FOOLISH. Out of 20 punches, I landed just 5 of them because he bobbed and weaved the rest of them, left me hitting nothing but air.

He even KO'ed me with a jab like he did Forest Griffin.

Not sure I am understanding you, are you saying that when you have a fight go to decision, the commentary after the match is saying it was a boring fight? If you are, I am having a completely different experience. Two of the fights that I had go to decision, Rogan kept going on and on about how this fight was the fight of the century....or something along those lines.

Maybe I'll keep 2010 and punch my *** of striking buttons and then get submitted

Perhaps you should wait until you actually have played the demo or game before you give your "impression". There have been a good amount of changes from 10 to this year (in the demo anyways).

You will NEVER see a simulation UFC game. Whether its THQ, EA or any developer.

In most of the fights that I had last night (I can't remember the exact commentary), but most of the time it ended with Rogan saying something along the lines of "Yeah, that definitely wasn't embarrassing". Maybe it's because I'm trying to fight at a slower place. Nevertheless, it's the same line that I heard a gazillion times in 2010. I have heard a new line in there too that I can't quite remember (I'll pay more attention the next time I play) so I know they did put some work into commentary. I'm just hoping that we hear a variety of commentary and that it is closer to NBA 2K than Madden.

Man this demo is tight. Admittedly, I liked the EA Sports MMA game better than the last UFC game, but this one looks like a whole new animal. I still think the right stick feels better than the face buttons as far as stand-up, but I'll get the hang of it again I'm sure. At least they fixed the submission system. It's actually like a rich man's version of the MMA sub system, where you try to overlap the other guy's cursor to tap him out. The beauty of this, however, is that you can actually see both cursors, rather than blindly flipping the stick around waiting for a vibration. I don't know, it just makes me feel like I'm not being cheated so much by the CPU.

# 160 DaveDQ @ 01/26/12 09:46 AM

I moved it up to Advanced and am getting better results, but I'm not crazy about how they work stamina. It's not that they are completely wrong about it. If you get hit too much your stamina drains, as it should, but still...if a guy is in your face, throwing a bunch of punches, he should be draining fast.

I need to give Advanced more time, but I think overall it feels right. I feel like if you defend yourself, the CPU does back off. Maybe the CPU is overly aggressive based on the user being more contemplative in his approach. That would actually be nice as someone who can knock you out with one shot should try and get in there and land it.

However, I think if you come out overly aggressive, you should drop in energy faster.
