Jackson just walks around and every once in a while throws power bomb 3 punch combos... Then he'll try for a take down here and there - then if he fails or it gets back up - it's just circle around until the next 3 punch power combo. It's ridiculous. I've tried Advanced, Expert, Ultimate - they're all the same. The submission game is also a submission killer to me. It takes me completely out of the game and makes me focus on something entirely unrelated - some sort of cat and mouse game where I'm chasing dots around. It's frustrating because ground fighting is my favorite aspect of MMA - and it's totally lost in this game, and the submissions are just not fun at all. I'm really quite disappointed with this game.

thats pretty much how Rampage fights in real life these days. He walks around and looks for bombs and throws 3 punch bomb combos for the KO.

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.

I'm just getting dissapointed while reading these things. I've been waiting for a SIMULATION ufc game since 2009 but here we go again. I'll still try the demo when available for silver users like me and make my final decision about should I buy this or not. But feels like this game hasn't changed enough. Maybe I'll keep 2010 and punch my *** of striking buttons and then get submitted
