EA Sports UFC - Game

Devs updated the Stamina and Striking Logic yesterday. Sounds like it has become a more defensive and counter game than just spamming buttons. Must throw it on again and give it a lash.

Striking and Stamina

We've added some new stamina logic to striking. Additional stamina taxes have been added for all possible strike outcomes with the intent of rewarding successful strikes and punishing failed strikes. We hope this further reduces strike spamming issues, and rewards the calculated striker both short term and long term over the reckless striker.

If a strike misses completely, there will now be an additional 35% stamina tax on the fighter throwing the strike.

If a strike is parried, there will now be an additional 25% stamina tax on the fighter throwing the strike.

If a strike is strong blocked, there will now be an additional 20% stamina tax on the fighter throwing the strike.

If a strike is weak blocked, there will now be an additional 10% stamina tax on the fighter throwing the strike.

If a strike lands successfully there is no additional stamina tax.

Lunge Tuning

In an attempt to address the problem with lunge spamming, we've made changes so that if you land a strike against someone who is lunging, they will play a full body hit reaction. Previously the only reliable way to stop someone from lunging was to use a leg kick which had no KO power and did not present much of a threat. This change opens up the entire arsenal of strikes to be used to stop repeated lunging which we hope will discourage the practice and make it much less effective.

In addition, the stamina tax on lunges has been increased and additional tuning made to eliminate the so called "dash hook" tactic. The stamina tax on lunging was increased to prevent lunge spamming from getting worse as a tactic once the increased stamina tax on missed strikes goes live.

Fair play to them on this, they still seem to be putting ina whole lot of effort rather than concentrating on a sequel! rebought it over the weekend in the PSN sale and delighted I did.

Isn't there 3 new fighters in the next patch as well? Rafael dos Anjos, Eddie Alvarez and Holly Holm apparently.

Zero-Cool · 20-01-2015 7:37pm

Out of the 3 I'd mostly be interested to see how Holly does against Honda.

Zero-Cool · 20-01-2015 11:45pm

Rumble is getting added now as well.

RebelSoul · 21-01-2015 2:15pm

Here's hoping for Cro Cop.

Lads who still has this and is up for a few fights? Might try organise a specific night or a tournament if I can get an idea of whos still playing it.

Zero-Cool · 22-01-2015 8:02pm

Id be up for a tourney (PS4). Would be great if we got 8 people.

martyos121 · 22-01-2015 11:05pm

Yeah I'm up for it. Dying to get back into this, and if we fall short of 8 people we could try and sort out a league instead maybe.

RebelSoul · 22-01-2015 11:07pm

Yeah I'm up for a tourney or just a few fights. You added me before Axwell but I had to change my account due to it being registered in a diff country(stupid psn) I'm more of a lurker than a poster here but I'll add you both and keep an eye on this thread.

Anyone on now for a few?

RebelSoul · 23-01-2015 12:41am

Yup I'm on for a little while.

markcahill1985 · 23-01-2015 10:34am

Id be up for a tourney as well PSN markcahill1985 - for anyone Im not friends with

SureYWouldntYa · 23-01-2015 2:13pm

Im utter schite but I'll stick me name down for a tournament anyway, PSN - OhRightTed

Axwell · 23-01-2015 2:34pm

had a good few fights with Rebel last night - was good craic. Couldnt find my mic mate in case you were talking at any point, will have it next time.

Tried out some of the new fighters, they were all decent enough this time. Good additions to the game. Not sure on the update though, found it took a while to get used too. Some of the penalties on stamina seemed a bit much, you could be in the middle of a flurry of punches which you are losing stamina on doing anyways and then end up losing more for missing a punch or a punch blocked. Made some of the fights a bit more stand off ish trying to recover stamina then go in for a few punches then stepping away again. Will mean adjusting to it but it might be better in the long run, just have to play with it more and see.

RebelSoul · 23-01-2015 3:59pm

Was good fun alright. Don't worry I had nothing interesting to say anyway.

markcahill1985 · 26-01-2015 12:25pm

Great to get back into this last few days, good few fights with Axwell the other night (even tho he got the better of me in most) Hopefully a few more will get back playing!

Nalz · 27-01-2015 5:33pm

Has anyone played this? I Recently signed up to EA Access on Xbox One and this game is part of the package!

Is our man Colin a hidden character in it or am I missing something?

Play a bit if you ever get a tournament going PSN baildogg

Im up for a tourney! PSN Hefferboi

Mr Blobby · 29-01-2015 6:33pm

Still retired lads.

Axwell · 29-01-2015 6:43pm

Lads im all for a tourney and organising one but I setup a chat thread on psn recently to guage interest and organise a few games and the only one that's responded was Mark who I played a few games with the other night.

In other words get yer fingers out and get on psn if ye plan to take part, theres no point just saying ye are going to play if ye are never online in the first place.

The other tournaments were over very quickly as it was one fight and lose and you were out, I was planning on making this one a bit longer but people will need to commit to playing, be online and reply to messages if there is any hope of one happening.

If we get a nice round number like 8 or 12 we could make groups and everyone plays best of 3 for their match, top ones in the group then go through to the next stage. That will ensure everyone gets a few games

Also I'll be on later round 10 if anyone wants an easy game

Axwell · 29-01-2015 9:03pm

The logistics of how its setup arent the issue its getting people online to play. Im around for the night if anyones on

martyos121 · 29-01-2015 9:43pm

Played a few fights late last night to get back into it. It's changed so much, still loving the gameplay but it'll take me many more fights with the new tweaks to have the confidence to take my "skills" (and I use that term loosely) online.

markcahill1985 · 29-01-2015 10:31pm

Good few fights tonight Axwell; sorry I had to rush off; still getting used to it so hopefully will give ya better fights soon haha

RebelSoul · 07-02-2015 3:30am

Anyone on now? Alot more traffic in the mma forum these days. You'd think some of them would have the game.

markcahill1985 · 07-02-2015 9:01am

RebelSoul · 09-02-2015 12:31am

I know whats happening. I had two users on my PS4. RebelSouls and RebelSouls1974. You added the first one which I don't use. I've deleted it now so add the second one and that'll sort it. Thanks

Is he a free dlc now? Got him with the preorder but saw something about him being free now, just not sure if it was a timed thing. Yeah he's a good laugh to play as but easy to beat online i found.

If anyone is in Limerick on Saturday 11th July, Brocon (a convention for games of all types) will be taking place in the University of Limerick in the PESS Sports Hall. They will have different video games at different points of the day but I was told EA Sports UFC will be there ready for a go if anyone wants a lash. (I have no affiliation with Brocon, just letting ye know)

In EA UFC news...

So there's rumblings of EA UFC 2 in development. People on the official forum asking for news on it and a dev posted the below. Looks like the new move (taking the back from bottom) will be in the game and maybe a hint of Pride Mode? Or this could just be a complete spoof by the devs.

Just for PAX_VISION some early UFC 2 footage...... as interpreted through a stop motion video using UFC toys at my desk.

Because you asked so nicely.
