    You're some gowl man! Enjoy it, post up your thoughts if you can peel yourself away!

    Also, The PSN store shows the file size as 16Gb's

    Ha! :p

    Maybe the 16GB refers to installed size, cause I only downloaded that 3GB file and I'm playing the game now :D

    edit: The 3GB just allows you to start playing the game with a limited selection of fighters while the rest of the game downloads in the background :( Hopefully should have it all in the next hour or two.

    Game is downloading now, woo!. It only appears to be 3GB which seems bizarrely small :confused:

    The PS4 will allow you play a slimmed down version of the game while downloading the full game in the background.

    If you press Options and then Information on the UFC icon on the main PS4 menu you will see how much of the download has completed

    Few fights in so far. Initial impressions are great, I enjoyed the demo but the game is a lot better on the higher difficultly levels. It's also great to finally be able to choose Dublin,Ireland as your fighters hometown. Kinda annoyed I've made plans to go out later now :(

    There's a MMA event at the weekend, coincides with the release if the game so EA gave 10 copies to the guys involved. I got lucky.

    I got my review copy today but the World Cup has been quite rude regarding my free time.

    No joy, they will be open at 10am tomorrow and as well as the Bruce Lee pack, if you preordered you will also be getting an Anderson Silva DVD. How bad.

    So I've had this a few days now and for the most part I love it. Career mode is great and a lot tougher than UFC 3. Currently I'm 17-3 but quite a few of those fights I would have lost had I not managed to pull off a third round submission. The control scheme is also a lot better, in UFC 3 I was a stand-up guy cause I always got destroyed on the ground but in this I have no problem standing, fighting in the clinch or on the ground. There are also some lovely little details, for example if you are fighting on the undercard the arena is mostly empty seats which I thought was a nice touch.

    That being said there are larger details they seemed to miss. Not being able to touch gloves seems like a glaring omission. Also not being able to finish fights with leg kicks or by doctor stoppage is kinda lame. That being said the game is ridiculously fun and I've barely been able to put it down the last three days.

    After a few days of it myself and I'm enjoying it much more than the last UFC game. My 4 fight losing streak is a problem though and can see Dana cutting me soon lol

    Playing on hard. I think on Pro some submission specialists like Nate Diaz would be next to impossible to defeat.

    Pro tip for myself: Keep the fight standing at all costs :P

    Ha. Its not so bad, but for the few opponents you may face who have a 90+ submission rating, if you don't have a comparable submission defense rating they can end the fight pretty fast.
