It's not up to me - I submitted it to the editor at Game-Over today, after doing a few revisions to the text and amending the online section after playing a dozen+ fights on launch day.

Awesome, thanks man! I get that it's a licensing issue but it's just too much.
Thanks for the add! Will probably head online in a few hours, still need to work a bit more.
Yeah, the lack of sponsorships and fight gear is really awful. It's a shame when high profile fighters like DC and Dominick Cruz walk out in plain white tshirts or plain black tshirts, then you see a lot of guys in plain white shorts or UFC gear. It's a tiny detail that's important to authenticity, that I wish they can get some deals done and patch in some gear.
Yeah, I had a fight where we were both using the same guys, and to my disappointment, we were both wearing the same gear. You think it would be easy to have a simple alternate color for their gear wouldn't it?
Retire undefeated.
Don't flick it-- hold it. the better wrestler you have, the more likely it gets defended.
The hell? I try getting on EA's website to put a gameface up and when I signed in it said my email hasn't been verified. So I clicked the button to resend the verification, and when I clicked the link in the email, I get this nonsense:
I didn't even know it was never verified after all this time. Copying and pasting the link didn't work either. Oh well, guess I shouldn't expect shit to work when EA is involved. Guess I'll never learn.

Just logged in and it said it added a fighter. Was hoping it was TJ Dillashaw, but nope. Anyone know who it was?
There is a story mode, at the very beginning you fight in the ultimate fighter for about 30 mins and then you get into the ufc and try to win the title by fighting your way up from the prelims. You get to use gameplans (perks) and if you take loads of damage you can't fight for long. It's quite good actually.
Ran into Might Mouse on ranked and he thai clinched/knee'd my body til I was KO'd.
I don't know if it was latency or lag, but I literally couldn't do anything. His stamina bar was empty but he was still kneeing. He must've been kneeing so fast that I couldn't even parry. Ruined my 3-0 streak

AYOOO! I just got my black belt online! 40-13. Came after I was getting destroyed by Faber online, knocked down twice nearly out of it! Good old Frankie Edgar- no chin, heart of a LION! Ended with a good front kick, followed by a devastating knee from the clinch!
Some incredible fighters out there- I'm afraid of the heavyweights. In two quickly ended fights, both Mir and Jacare submitted my Dos Santos like it was absolutely nothing. Flawlessly executed, I had no chance.

Well that's nice to know because Rory MacDonald was taking me down every 5 seconds earlier today and I couldn't do shit to stop it. Will try this out.
OOOOS! Congrats! I'm a brown belt now so I'm going to try and make it to the top, currently at 19-9, and I have trouble with guys who can keep me at range (Bruce Lee specifically with his side kick lol and guys who are able to dominate me on the ground).
I think I got lucky with some of those Bruce Lees out there! That side kick is harder to counter, but a solid parry mixed with a high left kick worked wonders for me. But goodness, I had one Bruce Lee fight where I took him down, s/he ended on top, never postured up and hit me some sort of flash strike. Nearly destroyed in a closed mount, with no ability to guard! Had to get up FAST!
You'll be there in no time! I felt like the Brown Belt was where I had the most problems/learned the most about defending submissions. There are absolute monsters out there~! It was the most fun division to fight for- everything felt like a strike or two from either winning gloriously or getting knocked the hell out!
Mir and that ground game- I fear for my life! Also, what's up with fighting so many Rouseys? I'd say five of my losses were to Rouseys where I felt like I needed to pick someone different just to make things interesting. And then a couple body shots later, I was cursing myself for not picking Rousey too!

Ground and pound seems to do such little damage.......maybe I need to spend even more points on my fists

Once you get into side control you do some nasty damage, same with full mount.

Yea, but it still lacks oomph
Also, sometimes I can posture up, sometimes I can't?
Definitely lacks killer impact! I mean even when you hammerfist an opponent to near death, there is no indicator outside of the red on their head icon that shows you're destroying. Posturing up seems to be at higher energy levels- more than half, I was successful in getting up to land blows. Followed by everyone trying to stand immediately, and then messing that up.
It's hard to keep top position well!

Amazing fight ron_bato; I mean, holy goodness. Epic five fight war, submission was so close to being locked in. I got a decision win, but I think it was yours! THIS IS WHAT THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT! The ground game was so technical, elbows from the top, trying to escape from the mounts, pulling rubber! GAH.
Amazed. We shall fight again!
Amazed. We shall fight again!
HOLY SHIT! That was such a great fight!!!! It was so tactical and it played out everywhere. Distance strikes, jabs, you knocking me down in the second with a great counter hook, me almost sinking in that triangle! This is the potential of this game, we had a back and forth fight, both on the feet and on the ground! Rubber guard, passes to mount, reversals, elbows, back control. That was epic!
That was so high level, I scored the first three to you, and the last two rounds to me, I was a split second away from push the left stick and sinking in that sub in round 4, when you escaped I screamed out loud because I thought I almost had it!
Great fight man! And yeah, we'll fight again and get better at this from learning from each other!

This game absolutely fucking sucks. I can't believe I gave it a chance.
Biggest regret purchase ever.
The very core of the game is completely broken and stupid. The "big" shots that cause (the very frequent, very dumb, completely nonsensical) flash knockouts rarely ever even make solid contact.
All of the systems in the game are straight up poor. Get full mounted, try to get up, get pushed down, try to get up, get pushed down, try to get up, get pushed down, try to transition, get punched by 1 baby punch FLASH KO (at the beginning of the fight)
You can throw all of your strikes with 0 stamina, but you cant put your hands up to block with 0 stamina..... So you just sit there and take shots to the face, try to back up 1 inch at a time since your movement is super restricted, or take your opponent down and have them pop right back up immediately.. unless you block their stand up, and then you get to play the fun game of try to get up, get pushed down, try to get up , get pushed down, try to get up, get pushed down, try to get up, etc.
All of the controls feel like fucking mud. There is like a 900ms input lag between pressing a button and seeing it represented on screen.
The menus are soooooooo slow and shitty. Jesus christ, EA. Can't you make a menu that doesn't take 15 seconds to load between pages? What year is this?
No.

I cannot wait for my copy to arrive
probably my favorite KO so far
he was giving me trouble in the ground game, so i didnt chase him to the mat, but rather let him up and land a sweet kick

Oh my! I can't wait to check it out! THAT FIGHT! MY GOODNESS THAT FIGHT! We had an epic brawl, I'm really just floored with the technicality of all of it. I also usually am able to pull guard effectively but you had my number! I spent so much time on my back, trying to sub ineffectively! A second away from having my arm gone! I would love to check it- I also like how we mixed up all aspects in that fight!
A fight to learn from! A rivalry commences! If I never fight for the belt again, I'll be satisfied- that fight we had was the most even I've been in thus far!

That kick didn't even land. It grazed the side of his face.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it...This is the best release on current gen hardware. I was yearning for a new fight, but this is more than satisfying. You must do a little studying of the move sets and have a working knowledge of how to knock cats out and how to fight in general. After that this game is pure gold! All of my friends are loving it as well. Can't wait until I get my fighter up to 100; this game will be epic then.

Getting the hang of the ground game, finally able to use my stamina efficiently
