The frame rate is getting really bad for some reason, the first 15 fights or so were perfect but over time each one gets worse. This is in offline fights. You can see in the clip below.
Also the submission system is giving me a tumor, I followed the tutorial but it never seems to work. I can never weaken the opponent down enough they just get out of it in seconds.
Also in career had a big fight against Travis Browne for the title match. His stats were 100/100/100 so I shat bricks. The 2 previous fights I got cheated on with cheap TKO's to the stomach. Went to the fight with Travis and TKO'd him in 13 seconds with a foot to the face lol.

It's bad, I'm surprised there hasn't been more mention of it.

So is there really no way to pick a fighter and play a career in single player? =/

Loved getting these 2 KO's.

I think you can only choose between your created fighter or the unlockables Bruce Lee and Royce Gracie. I'm going through it now with Bruce Lee.

My favorite part of the TUF set is Dan Severn, with the NWA World title, still being there in the background.

Thats there on the real show too in case you haven't noticed.
Im having a blast but there are some definate technical issues going on. Game stutters and lags even in offline modes. Hopefully this can be fixed in a patch, but I doubt it.
I still would really like to get game face working, but the website to upload for me isnt working. It just said "loading" where the option to put a picture is.
Does anyone know how to fix this or how to get game face to work?

That's the ticket. I thought I could bust out submissions from any position. Didn't realize I had to go and purchase new moves.
Thanks for the help.
It's funny how some fights don't wind up being as dangerous as you expect, while others turn out to be wars. I went up against Hunt for the first time and expected it to be a battle, but he dropped 17 seconds in.
Later on went up against Bigfoot and thought he'd give me a lot of trouble, and I wasn't able to keep him on the mat much at all but this happened about 3/4 of the way through the first round to end the fight.

hours of trying to get this to work and im about to quit
finally got the EA gameface website to work, made my character, etc
but now the game wont download my gameface
Game face sucks.
I uploaded my pics to the website and the online avatar looked exactly like me. I was psyched.
I import into the game and it looks nothing like me. Not at all.
Ended up looking like a pasty white dude.

Having more time with the game and the one thing EA nailed were the fighter stances. I love how distinct they are.
Hendos weird slouch
Machidas karate with feints
Nick Diaz with hands down
Wands Muay Thai
Clay Guida caveman
Overeems bent down stance
Good job on that EA.
Also did EA remove fighters? I could have sworn I've seen Jake Shields and Brendan Schaub announced for the game.

This has pretty much been my experience with it. What's weird, is that I've seen others use it for celebrities and the like and it looks great...

I would love to have a cooldown meter for special moves. Like a meter that gets used and fills back up in say like 5 or 7 seconds. Special fighters like Anderson Silva, would have meters that regenerate faster. it would stop spamming and make flying knees and spinning back leg kicks only be used when setup properly. Sounds like it'd be easy to implement.
Catching leg kicks is needed as well yeah. Gotta wait 2 years for all of this hopefully :/

I find myself hating the ground game in this game. I can never break out of it even after successful blocks. I can never counter the take down. I feel like I might as well just submit once I go down. (Career mode)
Conor McGregor's exaggerated karate stance when he is at range is really good.
Fuck the random elements of this game.
I just lost two in a row from a single head punch/kick in the first minute of the first round.
I'm rocking this guy's head, he's barely doing anything to me and you're going to tell me one head kick that lands is an instant KO?
Come the fuck on, EA.

Yea...I know it's MMA and anything can happen but man the game is either really good at times or really bad.
I've stopped playing ranked because of the spammers, quitters and glitchers that plague it.
This game needs a huge patch. EA is lucky this is the only next gen MMA game in a while or it would not sell as much as it did/will.

The submission system is pretty easy, you just can't mess up or you lose it. I don't even look at stamina or the health bars and can submit the computer every time on Pro difficulty.
Just hold the right stick in the colored direction of the gate. You'll eventually see a colored line on one of the few 4 corners. When you see this, you need to flick the left stick in that direction.
Where people are messing up is they forget about the right stick. They are separate commands. You need to keep paying attention to the colored gates and moving the right stick while being on the lookout for the colored line to show up and flick the left stick. If you miss any of the left stick flicks, the submission fails.
I recommend playing someone overpowered like Rousey and just take the CPU down and keep spamming submissions until you get a feel for it.

They nailed the stances. It really does look like the real fighters in there. I love BJ Penn and JDS' stance too.
Too bad the move sets are mostly the same for everyone. I really wish they would have at least got the top 10-15 guys to motion capture their moves.
Wow, Jon Jones really needs to learn how to keep his gloves closed. This is getting ridiculous.

That was really entertaining to watch lol.
I especially liked the high flying adventures of Alexander Gustafsson.
Pick a wrestler to counter takedowns easier.
Click the left stick in to get up-- everything else is a transition. You can't just magically stand up out of some positions though :-\
Yeah-- just checking ratings, but I didn't have them all memorized.

Is there anyway to change stances for created players in career mode? I see the cpu using all of neat stances and I'm forced to used the boring ass regular one. I was hoping it'd be tied to body type or something but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Wow thanks sir! Ya had an account for awhile. I sometimes forget to post my reviews and videocasts as you probably notice
I am honestly fairly terrible at promoting it as much as I should but I am glad you got some fun out of them! We just posted our first net/vidcast too.That video has made me laugh for the past 5 minutes.
Yep even in the damn menu's(one of my own pet peeves)

You guys still playing this? My friend talked enough crap to get me to buy this so I can kick his ass. Anyone have any info that would give me an upper hand? Never played a UFC game, but I am a fast learner and a beast at fighting games in general.
Attacking after a parry/slip will do more damage.

Can I build my guy to be mostly submissions and be annoying that way, or is balance always better?
Funny Glitches happen in sports games..and sometimes they get patched through that year..but what won't get patch, even though it should be fucking simple, is when you have someone obviously hurt and stunned head blinking red like crazy...
they can somehow still go for a takedown and have enough energy to pick you up and do that stupid WWF Suplex.
for take downs it should be a two step process...or something should be there for defending it....especially when someone is tired.. heck they shouldn't be allowed to do certain types of take downs. Just maybe trips or something.

After focusing on parries and takedowns I'm 20-4 online using GSP. Just got to Brown Belt and hopefully getting Black tonight.
I'm loving the online play but EA needs to put in a patch to punish quitters. It's unexcusable that they don't get the loss. Fucking pussies.

Considering a lot of people have no idea once they hit the ground what to do and just try to stand back up, that could be viable.

I've been playing the heck out of the demo, but I have no desire to buy the full game, lol. I just keep hearing troubling things about it; I'd rather have a boxing or K-1 game than this. Nevertheless it inspired me to make my first Share Factory video; just some knockouts I thought were pretty cool. Video is pretty basic, but I'm getting the hang of the features.

Good review by the way, really enjoy yours and slasher's reviews.

Yeah, that review basically confirms my fears for this game. Every fighter looks the same move set-wise, and it's hard to get your moves to flow; it's just too robotic. Maybe next time.

If you guys on Xbox One have been getting the frame stutters you can try this. Posted on the EA UFC forums from EA support. No idea if a similar things works on PS4.
1) Settings > Blu Ray & Disc > Persistent Storage > Clear Persistent Storage
2) Settings > Networking > Advanced Settings > Alternate MAC Address > Clear this and it will have you restart console
3) Unplug console for 1 minute after it shuts down
4) Plug console back in and hopefully it is resolved
Cheers man, I managed to work it out just before you posted lol. I kept thinking I had to use the left stick straight away but all that does is allow the opponent to escape quicker. I played the CPU a few times on beginner to get the hang of it and now I've already made about 5 tap out in a row.
Daily KO's from me.

I have been able to load my gameface on UFC, but it looks nothing like me. I thought it would be similar to the gameface I created, but I have heard that isn't the case. The game creates the closest thing to it through the game's options.

The online Gameface is actually pretty nice. Sadly, it looks like EA UFC doesn't support it even though it says it does on their site. You can only select pre-made faces and when you download Gameface in the game, it just chooses the closest match.
I can't believe how rushed this game feels. That spent all of their time on presentation it seems.

Frankly if that is all of their time maybe they should keep it to themselves
Walkins have framedropsThanks bro!
Agreed. My hope is they really relook at the dinner plate sized UI and how it works as a whole as well as the GFX(Simply has to be improved). Additionally the lag in almost every aspect has to be fixed it is simply bad presentation for someone who is new to a game to load it up and find lag in the menu's themselves. That is like dressing up a hottie by slathering them in pigshit.
