Plus if you share the demo [God only knows how at this point]

On the main menu in the demo choose "Unlock Classic Randy" (i think thats what its called anyway). The you need 300 points. You get 20 points for just inviting someone on your friends list and you get 100 points if they download it.

DLC for fighters is a load of crap. How much will they be charging for each one?

Ya, I really don't wanna pay for DLC fighters. I know there are some exclusive fighters already if you prepay for the game like ref Big John Mcarthy. Plus with that feature fighter share, just let some talented guy with a load of time on his hands to make the ufc fighters and jsut download them for free. Other than that, I don't think there will be any other fighters that i'd actually pay money to have in the game.

Thanks sheehy83. I think I'll wait for the inevitable DLC release of Classic Randy.

Its supposed to be the same system as Fight Night and similar to the one in FIFA 11. You dont have to pay for them there all free

Minstrel27 · 03-10-2010 5:50pm

If they are free then it's not so bad

You can get pretty much anyone too. I have people like Michael Jackson and Obama in fight night the people who make them are pretty talented and being able to use gameface means nobody looks out of place in the game

add my PSN sheehy83 and send me an invite. I sent out 20 invites, mostly to people who I knew wouldn't even play this game but f it, its only a message they get that they can delete, as long as I get my classic Couture (who I'll probably only use once!)

Dav · 04-10-2010 10:42am

I started playing this over the weekend and got battered around the place on Medium and utterly destroyed the computer on Easy, so clearly I'm doing something wrong...

I'm not getting the groud and pound right - I think I need to spend a lot longer reading the instructions on the moves ...

I'll see if I can get some of these questions surrounding DLC fighters etc answered, but my dealings are with EA's PR Agency, not with EA themselves, so it may not be possible.

Zero-Cool · 04-10-2010 11:21am

Dav, yeah big complaint on the ea forums about the difficulty differences. But topic turned to muck when they were all complaining that Legend is too easy and they are finishing fights in 6 seconds. I think its fine. I win most times on medium, 50 50 on hard. Impossible to get out of a choke on hard tho.

One guy posted that his biggest wish for the full game would be to have DLC fighters. I mean wouldn't you just wish they were put in the game in the first place? The only DLC fighters that would be interesting would be UFC fighters (not gonna happen) or legends like Royce Gracie (and I think he has a deal with THQ now?)

Dav will you get a copy to play early for review or anything?

Dav · 04-10-2010 12:53pm

Yea, I'll probably have an early copy for review purposes alright. No doubt myself and DeVore will get stuck in (we're both big MMA fans).

Training sounds brilliant! I cannot wait for this game!

That sounds class. The main problem with UFC was the brutalness that was known as carreer mode. Havn't even played the demo yet but I think I will be buying this game.

GTR63 · 06-10-2010 1:27pm

Is there only a Career mode for Created fighters or could I use Moussasi or other real fighters.Also i'm wondering how Randy Couture will be used in the Career mode you won't exactly be fighting for Ufc in this.

Nah, career mode will only be for created fighters. They will have other play modes for the real lads. Randy is one of the trainers. He will teach you moves at Extreme Couture. Bas Ruten is your main trainer but you get other trainers at camps around the world like Rickson Gracie in Brazil for a bit of BJJ. Class concept.

Some good news from one of the lead Devs on the ea forums after a barage of complaints about the demo.

easw.EA_VicLugo wrote:I've said this before but things can be hard to find so here it goes:
hundreds of AI bugs have been fixed.
takdown frequency has been reduced.
adaptive tendencies have been improved.
We've fixed the defensive exploits with the spamming of body shots on the ground.
The career mode AI is very diverse so like someone
pointed out some AI won't even go for takedowns.
We can update AI online.
Expect a more refined, intelligent AI in the final version of the game both in fight now and in career mode.

Some more info on career mode. Inof from EA Dev on link below

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/2815694.page

1. Money--It is a very basic economy. You spend it on travelling to different trainers. You earn it by fighting. Bas sets up all your fights for you, so you can only earn extra money by winning. Yes. You read that right. You do not get to pick your opponent. I know, I know...trust me...I know. I figured I should bring this up now since you're going to find out in reviews anyway. I cannot get into why this is other than to tell you that the decision was made in the best interest of the overall Career experience for both this title and future sequels.

2. Special Moves--You can earn 16 and there are 27 total. Each one is distinctly unique.

3. CAF's--The limit is 50. The only difference between a max manual CAF and a max Career CAF will be four fewer special moves available. And no, I do not know if a CAF walkthrough is coming. I don't make those decisions. Sorry.

4. Shorts--You can, indeed, put logos there.

5. Why No One Has Been Answering Your Questions--I had the audacity to take a vacation after we wrapped.

He also says you will only be fighting in 1 weight division. No moving during career.

Hopefully that'll be changed in future versions.
I'd rather if you could swap between weights more than once(like in Fight Night 4, I think it was.

Ya, sounds like they are just trying to get the basics down with this one first. Don't mind really as the career already sounds way more fun than Undisputed's already.

Zero-Cool · 14-10-2010 10:51pm

on the ea forums, a couple of guys have the full game and answerin questions about it. sounds like a lot of improvements since the demo. hopefully they will post some vids soon

Zero-Cool · 16-10-2010 12:34am

Some guy just posted a screenshot of some nicknames.

The Irish Hand Grenade is in. hahaha

Does anyone know if you'll be able to put "dublin, Ireland" as your hometown? unlike UFC09 and 2010? it annoyed me so much seeing as the UFC was in dublin, still they didnt bother to put ireland as an option for birthplace or "fighting out of" in the game.

I would say 80% Ireland can be chosen as a home country as the nickname Irish Hand Grenade is in. I don't think you can pick cities though. All American fighters are 'Fighting out of the United States' for example.

Nope, any ole pic will do. Just take a phot of yourself and upload to ea website. Then you can download it while in the game menu. You can go one better and take a side shot of your face as well and use both photos for a better face model.
