EA Sports UFC 2

So looks like UFC 2 is in development with the Dev talk below showing how they are taking broken things from the 1st game and implementing fixes for UFC 2. Dev has also started releasing gifs of new moves but only showing them using stop motion with his Rich & Chuck figures

. Dev confimed he will be releasing more of these.

So, what are ye hoping for in the next game? I seriously hope they put a lot of thought into a proper career mode with some kind of background story to keep things interesting. The ground game needs work to make it feel more fluid and to have an inective to stop people from picking only champs online.

I'm guessing Conor will make the cover whether he is champ or not.

I'm not looking forward to a lack of gear customisation with the Reebok uniforms.

Guys, how do you defend punches in the normal clinch? I've tried R1 or R2 but don't seem to be having any noticeable success.

Anyone know the cheapest place to pick this up ?

That thai clinch and knee is the most frustrating move to be caught in.

Once you hold low block, it's easy to defend the knee. Block 2 strikes and you can easily transition out.

Zero-Cool

Paully, not sure must check that next time I'm on. Usually when we clinch we try transition into something else.

Nebaw, exactly like Pudsey said, works a treat.

Mr Blobby

lost two straight UT fights because of the Thai clinch, but once you know how to defend it then it's avoidable.

Managed to get a 4 Star armbar from the clinch last night. Its really handy since people automatically think you're going for the Thai clinch when you grab them.

Argos 63e was the cheapest I seen.

Finally got to put some hours into this today; it really is great; mostly playing ranked online; you can nearly feel every punch/kick! Stand up is great and getting used to the new transitions! Huge step from last game IMO; can't believe some of the mediocre reviews I've seen of it; they must be playing a diff game!

Zero-Cool

Felt a bit bad for the devs about the reviews. Proper gaming sites given it 6 and 7 out of 10 as they didn't know how to play it. One crowd said the ground game was a minus part as it was 'unresponsive', just mental.

A tourney will have to be setup soon before people like Marty get too good (bollix is just collecting UT belts atm)

markcahill1985

Yeah the IGN review was gobsmacking to be honest. I am struggling with the ground game particularly blocking transitions; practice makes perfect I guess.

Picked this up this morning and getting my head around it now. Is there any boardsies groups or anything on PS4. Wouldn't mind a few battles!

Playing FIFA today to let you catch up in UT.

To be honest, I don't want to get tired of it too quickly like I did with the last one, so I don't want to put all my time into it right away. Watching plenty of ground game videos in the meantime though to learn the tricks of it.

Finding it tough to block transitions myself but I've improved in the short time I've played already so it should get easier.

Had some good back and forth fights with Axwell(I think) last night. A personal low point was fighting as Lombard and getting ko'd by Rogan with a few seconds left in the first round.

stephenl15

I'm absolutely clueless on the ground. I understand the concept but I just don't know when or which way to deny. I just end up transitioning into full mount, then they just transition back to full guard. Rinse and repeat. I just don't know what to do

Gamebred

Yeah how the f do you hold mount when your on top? finding it hard to stay there and reign down bombs,also can finish a sub for my dinner when I stick one on.

Irishcrx

Was like a fish out of water on the ground for the week, getting the hang of it now though after some time in practise mode on ground movement have finished the last five fights by submission...am actually starting to prefer taking it to the ground now..

Zero-Cool

I'll be on after 11 tonight, Send me a message, sheehy83, if any of ye just want a grappling match. Much easier to learn when you're not worrying about gnp. The main thing is to hold R2 but don't press the right stick before the other guy moves. This will cause your joypad to vibrate like crazy telling you you went to early and the other guy will get a free transition.

Knowing what direction to press comes from practice with another player i find. If your on top in mount, press up to posture up and just wait and hold R2. If the guy puts his hands to the right, press right to deny him.

I'm still trying to work out how to debt getting pulled into closed mount.

Mr Blobby

Anyone find takedowns a little awkward? Its more of a grapple animation than a shoot.

It's also hard to pull off the special takedowns. If I hold down L2 + L1 + Takedown it'll sometimes only do the regular one.

v3ttel

Jeez I'm still totally clueless when I'm on the ground. I can't seem to block any transition. You must have to be lightening quick or there is a tiny window to block it that I haven't figured out yet.

If I just hold R2 and wait for someone to transition, I only ever block 1 in 10.

Its all down to timing and knowing what to look for. Best video I have come across that explains it is this one. After that its just down to practice and the best way is just to go into a game with someone else and just grapple (no punching etc) and practice transitions and blocking them.

Watched that before and still I'm useless haha may give it another rattle tonight for a few hours

markcahill1985

Love that fight are much more likely to go the distance in this game; was a big gripe with the last one where fights were always nearly over in the first

RebelSoul

I can't seem to block takedowns from the clinch. Anyone else having difficulty with this?

Zero-Cool

Some class CAF's going on in Ultimate Team. I made Spiderman, Batman and the Joker. Give em a wave if you come across them on UT.

Ultimate Team - Make 5 characters from scratch and either play against AI or Online. Playing fights gets you points that you can spend on cards which unlock moves, attributes & perks for your fighters like a basic leg kick or Ronda's Arm Bar.

More coins if you play online and your team level goes up faster.

Purple belt now, hopefully I'll get another stripe or two on it today.

Anyone who made Live Event picks, the rewards will be unlocked Monday afternoon (our time). Won't spoiler in case anyone didn't see the UFN Mir vs Hunt yet.

I got 2 of 4 picks right (1 was spot on)
