great video! It shows how cool the game can be, but also the common bad themes. I can tell who you are because you're always being cut off and backed up like the oppenent is the terminator. Most of my fights have been Wandy vs Rampage me as Wandy - this is because it's a twice as long and easy to keep hitting rematch. Although i have played as Anderson vs Jones about 6 times as well.

*Tiny bit of advice with the thai plum knee's, I have a few ko's using them, but don't pin the guy on the ropes. I press towards for a half second to push them back a tiny bit and then press away from them giving space and getting in a head knee or two. Their head seems to be lower in that position than against the ropes even though your guy looks like he's loading up more on them.

I want to mention another bad thing is those bloody lunging hooks and uppercuts from rampage. They are slower than 2010, but still overpowered imo - you can throw too many of them on sim, they are slightly too fast, the accuracy is too high which leads into the final problem with them that it's too hard to interrupt them or throw them off course. If you begin a right hook to the body for example and right after you input the controls cpu rampage throws a technique uppercut or hook, your punch won't do anything and you'll get clobbered with his punch no matter what arm you're using.

it's not a deal breaker, but it leads to much more head kicking since, the best thing to do is dash back and immediately throw a head kick since doing anything in the pocket vs those punches is useless.
People using rampage or fighters like him will likely have the technique button hammered down the whole fight like 2010. Techniques should add some variety to the attack, not be used 100% of the time - but strictly to win, that actually would be the best strategy since the penalty is small, the punches are overpowered over accurate and too fast imo. His technique hooks will beat Wandy to the punch using wandy's regular power hook all the time. I think they should also jack up leg kick power a little bit, right now it's still not a viable strategy in the demo esp against rampage.

The terminator thing doesn't help either, it seems a bit tough to circle out of the way etc. even in the 2009 demo you could get the opponent to fight much more passively. I'm really worried about this for the retail game - if every opponent fights that way it will suck.

That also links into my final problem which is to beat the cpu, the best strategy is not to mix it up, stay rangey, use all of your arsenal and leg kick. The fights were I mixed it up the most, and specifically used the most leg kicks were more often than not the ones where i'm in the most danger of losing and often got ko'd by a rampage hook since he can throw thousands of them. The string I went on the most wins in a row was learning 'the game' and going balls out trying to KO and finish as quickly as possible. Still mixing it up a bit, throwing a few jabs helps, but it's still all about knocking the other guy out as fast as possible is the best strategy which is disappointing. I can't see many pride fights making it out of the first round. CPU aggression forces me to be way more aggressive than I'd like

There are a lot of positives though, like look at that video how the fights used all aspects of MMA and were all over the place with tides turning and all that. All the new positions, finish the fight is awesome, I love that it's harder to actually get a finish with more recoveries.

They don't have Sandstorm for Wandy? Speaking of...is the Muay Thai clinch still awesome? That was the one thing they did get right in 2010.

While we're on horrific travesties has the judging improved?

They changed the Thai Clinch in the sense that it is easier to get out of but I think they have added some moves to the clinch. As far as judging goes, all the fights I've had that have gone to the judges have been scored correctly, I thought.

Liver kicks and liver punches are awesome ! Just destroyed Rampage. While he was throwing haymakers, I was tagging that body, he got slower and slower, hands started to drop and with that, faked to the body and went to the dome with a left hook, he was KO'ed.

Face stomps in UFC 3 is even better then it was in EA MMA. You can face stomp somebody over 5 times and they still might not stop the fights, depends on the stamina level of the fighter when he was on the ground.

Back clinch and pressing people up against the ropes or cage and kneeing them from behind into the side of their face is awesome.

I did notice they DO have slams out of the triangle choke in the game. Rampage and Jones did it to me. Love the corner man talking throughout the fight. He actually does tell you valuable stuff that you are doing wrong during the fight.

I'm starting to think the scorecard is glitched. I know I'm beating jones but they always see the fight as 9-10 in his favor. Even in the cutscene jones is walking to his corner shaking his head disappointed but he manages to get the judges points. I've lost count how many times I've rematched but I'm like 1-something, haven't touched the rampage fight yet

[BlueNGold]

1 round fights for the demo? Really? Kinda hard to gauge the game when we can't even fight a full 3 round fight at the least.

Anyways, it does feel better than 2010. That said, the CPU still seems to always be pushing forward and I'm not sure slower paced fights are possible. I guess I'm just going to have to see impressions when the full game comes out.

Also, have we even heard anything about career mode aside from that one trailer with Rampage? The game is a few weeks from release and I haven't seen any articles on it or anything. I'm worried about that.

Anybody see Jon Jones' reverse donkey kick from the ground yet?.... CRAZY.
