Didn't really need to include those 2. You'd have to be intentionally trying to make something worse to not be better.

I swear. Sometimes when I come on this board, it's like I somehow get a different game than some of you guys. But then again, I'm not a legendary videogame player like some.

I've played 6 matches so far; 3 as Lashley and 3 as Miller.

I managed to lose all 3 with Lashley, getting victimized by Overeem's Muay Thai clinch. The first fight, Overeem GnP'd me out in 45 seconds.

I had one of those "Oh S%!t" moments with Miller. I was getting abused by Shield's takedown all night. Then, with about two minutes left in the fight, Shields takes me down, I go to kick him off me and he comes at me, fully postured in my guard. He's raining down haymakers that I keep slipping. And then I hit X at the right moment and lock him in a triangle and put him to sleep with about a minute left in a fight I was being totally dominated.

I love the striking. I love the parries, the slipping, and the catching. If they took kicks, takedowns, and the ground game out of it, this game would make a hell of a Fight Night Round 5.

I'm all in. Bring on the retail. I can't wait to get online.

Pretty indifferent to it after a few matches. Graphics look great and the striking and submission systems are both good, but the grappling system as to takedowns and transitions is lacking. It struggles with the same problem as UFC does with the constant advances in positions from both guys. Having guys go from half guard, to side control, back to half guard, to full guard, then back up the half guard in a span of 30 seconds isn't very realistic. I guess its just too difficult to convey realistic grappling in a video game.

I'll have to give the demo some more play though to decide if I'm going to buy it or not. The way their stamina system works has me encouraged.

Dude seriously?? How do you judge this game based on medium difficulty? Medium is really easy, and you got it handed to you. It's funny how quickly some people come up with an opinion after a few games. When you get up to the adult difficulties, let us know what you think.

There is a reason why no one uses jabs in UFC Undisputed, they aren't very damaging and if you hit your opponent with one while he's winding up a punch it doesn't stop or slow him down at all. Spinning backfists as you said are very easy to stop, so why would you use it when you can just throw unstoppable hooks? Why would I waste my time setting up uppercuts with body shots when I can rush in and KO the CPU on legendary in 10 seconds? Why would I waste my time with feints when I can just punch you in the face repeatedly? Why would you go in and out when you can just stun them with one hook and then knock him out with a few more? Distance and reach don't mean anything in this game, I lunge at the CPU from 5 feet away and still land my punches even though you can clearly see that they aren't connecting. You're just plain delusional if you think this game is more strategic than Undisputed 2010. They are both mindless unrealistic button mashers.

That isn't me, and I'm not judging the game based on medium difficulty. You see, we adults have these things we call examples. That is a prime example of the tactic I have been able to successfully use on all difficulties.

I guess I have to make my own video of KOing the Legend CPU in 10 seconds repeatedly to prove the fanboys wrong.

Im not sure if this has been posted (its late and Ill read the rest at work tomorrow), the ref stood us back up. Dont remember the exact situation, but it was a ground battle and we were put back on our feet. It was nice since it was a clear stalemate. Last I read in the thread no one had commented on being stood up.

Yes, please do. FWIW my post history here should be a clear indication I'm not an EA fanboy, if you're referring to me as well.

At any rate this is an early build and user vs user yields an entirely different result.
