I definitely think the demo cost them some sales. I'm buying the shit anyway because I'm done with Watch Dogs and the drought is still quite real but they have a lot to improve on in the next UFC game.

lol that was a fun game though. I remember the sound effects being so brutal when you knocked someone out.. Me and my friends got a lot of playing time out of it.
Im buying it for the same damn reason lol. I thought Watch_Dogs was great , but I guess I was only fooled by the honey moon period of the game where everything was fresh and new. Now I can't be bothered to play any of it at all, the missions aren't even fun because the AI is so damn stupid. I was playing it stealthily until I realized it was actually easier to just go Rambo on em. And not to even mention the same repetitive side 'missions'.
So I'm going to trade in Watch Dogs and some other games for this so it shouldn't cost me much. Hope I'm not disappointed with it, it looks great and I feel like once the controls click it will be very fun.

This game is gonna be so good, I can't wait ti'll monday night to play with my friends till the sun comes up.
Honestly, coming from the control scheme of Undisputed, it's been totally simplified. The quarter circle ground transitions are easier to understand than half/full transitions from before. But with this control scheme, we've lost some depth. Posturing up feels good, but reversals seem to put you in mount (L1 + transition) every time, unless I'm missing something.
Striking has been lifted from prior games, with high/low/power modifiers, but they've added context to the strikes (Uppercuts, ninja kicks off the wall, etc.) If anything, blocking a takedown feels counterintuitive, and the ability to work against the cage after pushing an opponent towards it doesn't seem to exist (to me maybe?)
Also working a butterfly guard- the half step transitions from the Undisputed games- is it in here?
I'm excited to fight with the entire roster, and for career modes. But I hope the complexities haven't been simplified to the point of it being both still slightly inaccessible and lacking depth. I think holding and blocking transitions on the ground are also a bit strange to maintain.

I barely knew anything about the UFC so I always played as Carlos Newton since he is Canadian lol
All i saw was Sapp and was like he is terrible. The roster is slim, i really want a good Boxing game TBH. I love me some MMA but the games focus to hard on the ground game and making it over complicated IMO.

Watching, looks decent though it seems pretty easy to get caught by punch spamming and go down. Want to see some career mode footage, might sell me on a day one purchase.

I am going to download it tonight for xbox one. I was going to get it for PS4 but the rubber grips on my only controller are shedding everywhere grrrr!
I am getting this game even though it has the following issues because I love UFC. We can only hope it gets a lot more depth for the next installment.
1. Clinch game is terrible.
2. No doctor stoppage
3. Wall moves for all fighters (come on EA really)
4. Lacking ground depth compared to THQ games
5. No rag doll physics so KO's are the same couple of animations
6. They took away the ability to jump on a fighter once he is KO'd and have the ref pull you off.
7. Stamina seems to not punish you very much for spamming punches (demo impressions which may change on higher difficulty settings)
8. It seems like in the demo Jon Jones and Alexander Gustafsson are simply a pallet swap and not unique enough.

These two.. clearly shouldn't be in the same ring? The one man is in fact, a grizzly bear with a man-skinned suit.

Really debating getting this game, I'm on the fence. I liked the demo, but the controls are complicated to me. Also I don't like how in the demo, it turns into a slugfest instantly.

Yea, me too. Wish they had preload on psn for this game. Was under the impression all games would have some form of preload, looks like I was wrong.
With enough time, you'll get used to the controls. If you use a created fighter and put moves on yourself, you would probably feel more comfortable with them as well.

Anyone know if you can take Bruce Lee through Career mode once he's unlocked?
Size doesn't mean much. Bob Sapp is 6'5" 350lbs and was KO'd by many smaller fighters.
So I got my copy on Friday early thanks for a certain online retailer that ships their items ahead of the release date.
I'm not a big UFC fan, and just picked up this game hoping it would be closer to the Fight Night games EA used to put out. So far I'm actually pretty disappointed in the game, at least in career mode or any fights against AI opponents. The difficulty settings feel off, on easy mode opponents don't defend themselves that well and get KO'd within the first round easily. Anything normal and above, they parry way too well and takedowns take 3-4 attempts because of how well they defend.
My biggest issues so far are the takedown and clinch defenses being unresponsive. The window to defend against takedowns and clinchs feel way too short and I get taken down twice a round even if I see it coming a mile away. This has really turned me off from playing more of the career mode and takes a lot out of the enjoyment of the game. If I had a choice, I would want my money back.
