Playing career in legendary, 10 fights in, 10 finishes by sub. The sub specialist is a lot of fun to play as. My first next UFC rival Herring is up next and her grapple stats (as well as all others) are better than mine so has me slightly worried. Fights are brilliant with no HUD whatsoever, very tense.

Totally agree about the legendary career, extremely tense and you can’t make any mistakes, it’s brilliant. Finished my first one over a week ago with CM Punk, got him to 31-0 as a grappler (just enough to get GOAT) and then lost by KO three times in a row so I decided to retire him at the early age of 52 to save him from further punishment. :pac:

Gave Herrig a go, she was piecing me up and then taking me down at will. I threw a few triangles at her but her escapes were too fast. I decided to just wait for the next takedown attempt and throw a Kimura reversal on her, didn't realise it would only be 2 gates and then she refused to tap causing the arm break for the cherry on top!

Reversal submissions from takedown attempts are my favourite moves in the game.

class man have never got one myself. Got a MM flying armbar in career though:P is it L2 + direction or L2 + R2 + direction for sub reversals?

L2 and R2 and then press down to stuff the takedown, turns out onto a sub instead. You can see if you have any by going to moves list and submissions. It's usually level 3, 4 or 5 unlocks the takedown reversal move. Only saw by doing career you can see what each level of a sub unlocks as in different positions. Level 5 subs usually unlock the flying versions of them.

Became legendary champ with a record of 21-0, all submission finishes, most in the first round. The ground game has really improved, the amount of transitions, reversals and escapes you can unlock with high level ground game is really class, done brilliant moves in there.

Went back to UT, opened my weekly free packs and they are just crap. 2 bronze pro's and the only gold cards were consumables. Kinda regret getting the champ champ edition. Time to put all my time into UT now though, see what progress I can make.

I'm trying to do all the daily challenges as much as possible. 24 daily tokens can be traded for a wildcard token which can be used for the 4/5 star champ fighters. No Love solo challenges expire in a few days aswell so hopefully that will be replaced with more to do.

The judging in this needs a serious fixing, this sort of thing is a regular occurrence now.

Not a single stat in his favour. :rolleyes:

Are the daily challenges just in UT Online? Am I best to take my gold fighters through single player until all three move slots are applied before going going online to get on a fair playing ground? Do ye have different tactics?

Any tips for getting fotn or potn in career? Haven't got one.

I found they were fairly random. Pulled off some nice KO's and and tricky rare subs and nothing, and then get it for a standard finish. Getting the 7 potn bonuses in a row is an impossible goat goal imo

martyos121

If you manage to finish the fight inside the first 90 seconds, I found that pretty much guaranteed me POTN. I was grinding that one to get GOAT so I just went straight for a power double leg and GNP from side control. Doesn’t matter how you finish them it seems, just how quickly you do it.

Yeah daily challenges are online only unfortunately. Yeah makes sense alright although I didn't take it so rigidly I kinda just played both and bought packs as I went. got a little bored of single player but my guys stats are all fairly decent didn't have too much of a strategy just kinda went with it. Have all the solo challenges done maybe that helped

Zero-Cool

Doing the solo challenges at the mo but my LW caf is shyte. Might have to use my Conor and build my caf team when I unlock the proper cards.

Zero-Cool

Ok, ditched my caf earlier, went with Conor, tried to do solo challenges but kept getting error messages and going back to the challenge menu. When I finally did get it, they were so boring. No counter s so you don't have a clue how you're doing and then when you have to make Nate limp, he checks every goddamn kick I throw. Mix it up as much as I can and he auto checks the kicks. Annoyed me so much, I quit the solo challenges.

Decided to go online, picked Conor, found opponent...WTF I don't want to use my non test Vitor, he's shyte! Fought a Bisping who kept spamming the overhand so made quick work of him, 2 daily objectives complete. Yupp Stephen, daily objectives definitely looks the way to go. My roster is crap though, all my god fighters are LW's for some reason. Gonna just keep posting online and try get all the daily objectives.

I still find the tokens and sets confusing but I'm sure I'll get it in time.

Yeah the leg kick challenge is tough alright. Try mix it up and then once you have the objectives complete just let him check everything and get yourself knocked out you'll still complete it. If you get 3 gold tokens and a few daily tokens you can exchange them for a random gold caf

Did I miss something when looking for a fight online, does it randomly pick a fighter from your roster?

I like the fact that you can use the same moves you collected to all fighters at the same time.

Thanks! Must check my live event scores from last night. I'm pretty sure I got the 4 wins right with 2 perfect predictions.

Edit: worked out I got 2500 points, just enough for a premium pack. I picked the 4 winners and 1 perfect prediction. Pity it only takes the round you pick into consideration if you get the method right. Method and round should be separate.

Zero-Cool

Bollix anyway, I just figured out the No Love tokens. I thought you got specific ones i.e tokens for Cody/tj were different from hendo/bisping so I said feck it, not spending hours doing the insane ones to complete a set. Just noticed all the rooms are the same, could have gone through all the normal & hard ones to get a few gold fighters. Ah,I know anyway for when the next seasonal tokens kick in, definitely gonna spend time on them.

It’s a pity you can’t import music and have your CAF walk out to your own song

Zero-Cool

I read that if you save 24 daily tokens and change them to a wildcard, you can change the wild card and a good 3 star fighter for a 4 or 5 star version of them. Not sure if true or not.

Yeah the wildcard token can be used in place of anything in a set

New live event is up, Emmet Vs Stephens. 6 fights, 5 of them actually playable. Just playing all of them gets you 2500 points, enough for 3rd place, a basic pack.

Zero-Cool

Rough night for me on this. Forgot how absolutely awful it is to try force a decision fight in live events, I'm a big fan of the women's divisions but the majority of their fights end in a decision which is really hard to force in this game, don't mind do it for 3 fights! Will get back to them before the weekend.

Said I'd do the UT daily challenges. Got 3 of them in 1 fight, then lost 3 fights in a row trying to spam takedowns and submissions. Had to pick conor and wreck a couple of people just to make myself feel better, give up on the objectives.

Bought a premium pack and got a gold double under clinch.... Imagine if you spent actual money and got that, what a sickner.

Had some epic scraps and ended in one awful lagfest match which ended up with him in mount and I couldn't block, strike or escape. Inputs stopped working. Turned it off before I put the joypad through the telly.

Yeah very frustrating. 5 fights to play through for the event is nearly too much. I don't know if I'm imagining it but I'm finding lag with head movement like i'd try to sway and only a second or two later he actually does it but i've been hit by then. Could be the stats though. Some days the challenges are handy and some days they're impossible. Win by submission with a brawler, yeah good one :pac:

Zero-Cool

The UT objectives today are fairly handy. 25 strikes, 45 strikes with LW (both done in one fight), 5 transitions with balanced, 25 kicks with MW, 4 fights with MW. Gonna try get them all tonight.

Had one fight as Conor, my joypad died mid 1st round, scrambled to get the 2nd one, hit the ps button but nothing. Got it again went to the home screen ah Jaysus!!! Pressed again and neck in the game, hammered the block button and not only survived but still won the fight. I took a vid after the fight, must watch it back to see how tf he didn't KO me.

Also, it's very strange single player gives the same points as online. Looks like the daily tokens are the only incentive to play online?

Do you get anything specific to finish all daily objectives?
