EA Sports UFC - Game

Zero-Cool

Feels like a sequel, ground game feels more controllable yet frantic, sprawls still surprise me, not expecting them, have to see what moves can be done from there. Fair play to EA on this one.

Im loving the new ground game, really getting the hang of it! Instead of getting straight up when im taken down i like doing subs from the bottom, got a sweet guillotine earlier think i nearly got Axwell with one to!

Nick Diaz is hands down the best player in the game, 10-2 with him so far. Solid chin, good moves & sick subs! Unreal.

I think the patch was a great improvement but it's getting slated online. The new stamina management is harder especially when blocking and the devs admitted now fighting with HW's is much harder as their stamina is already crap. The gameplay elements like sprawling and touch gloves are definitely a step in the right direction.

How do you touch gloves?

Zero-Cool

As soon as the fight starts, hold L2 and move towards your opponent. They will automatically do it when close enough. You can also do it after the ref stands ye up by holding L2 as soon as ye get up.

Add you there, most lads on here fight with regular fighters, only time I'd use a champ is if we agree to a certain matchup like Jones vs DC or just want to try out noobie TJ. The tournament we have only uses fighters rated 93 and under also to stop that over powered spinning back kick shyte.

It's great now the way not all fighters have the power takedowns. Heavyweights were always the worst to use because of their slowness but they're even worse now with the degraded stamina.

Aaand the new...BUFC PS4 champion of the woooooooorld.....

Mr. Blobby!

Congrats man, stuffed 2-0. Chuck let me down against Vitor Bro, TNT was just too much for me. Then cat vs davies. My head was purple for all 4 rounds. Wouldn't even go down between rounds, surprised I lasted so long.

Don't get too comfy with the belt man, BUFC 2 is just around the corner!

I had a feeling that you'd pick Chuck for light heavy so i've been playing against him a lot for practice.

Was also very happy when you picked Cat over Davies. Davies seems to be soo much faster! But my god can Cat take a punch!!

Zero-Cool

First time losing with chuck but he was doing zero damage against Vitor. I usually pick davies but cat is so much stronger. Man I totally had that sub if the time didn't run out

Thats exactly how my fight was with Blobby and those two. I just couldnt recover even when I was avoiding punches. Cat was like a walking beetroot for the whole fight!!

Okay then, we need to test Mr. Blobby's game to see if he illegally downloaded the TRT patch! :pac:

So how is everyone feeling about the new Stamina? I like it but if you find yourself drained and the other guy full, it's hard to come back. Makes it a bit more realistic trying to conserve energy.

First transition to an offensive clinch for you by circling the right stick in a 1/4 circle. When you are on the offense, Hold R2 and back to stop them transitioning or escaping. Hammer L3 (click the Left analogue stick) if you just want to escape. If he is blocking your transitions, Hit him with knees or punches and then try escape after landing a hit.

Really getting into this, wasn't too sure at first but think it's a fine game now, keep getting reversed when on mount tho haha

Small issue does the controller not vibrate for anyone else when playing? Haven't felt it vibrate once and the setting is set to on in the ps4 settings?

Zero-Cool

Yeah I still find it very hard to block sweeps even though they made the block window bigger in the patch.

Actually, never noticed the vibration in the joypad. Must remember to check next time I play.

markcahill1985

Being playing this all weekend, really starting to get the hand of it now althought my ground game needs a lot of work. Wasnt sure at first but really enjoy the game now, a lot more technical than previous games and think it can be very realistic. Playing online is really frustrating, I have found a good few games alright which were enjoyable and my opponent clearly just wants a good realistic fight, but even more so i have found opponents who just start the fight and throw leg kicks for the whole thing, surely they are not getting any enjoyment out of playing like that? When that happens I just grab them in a MT clinch and knee them over and over, taste of their own medicine haha
