    What's your PSN, I'll add you to our PS4 Group message. We have 16 at the moment so should get a good one going if we get through the 1st one quick enough. I'd say most first round fights will kick off at the weekend and the rest will go fairly quickly then.

    thanks its podgekelly95..its my brothers account!

    Vid for the new fantasy event

    https://twitter.com/EASPORTSUFC/status/715268341150003200


    Dev posted an explanation of Fantasy Live Events
    Hey Everyone!

    As of writing, the first EA SPORTS UFC Fantasy Live Event is open for picks and play. A lot of work went into this and we're SUPER STOKED to finally be able to show off the fruit of that labor.

    https://amp.twimg.com/v/9cffe2d0-450e-42cb-b9bf-22d10716383c

    So here's how it will all work:
    Occasionally, when there is a week without a real world fight, we'll run a Fantasy Live Event. How we decide the card may vary: we could poll the community for match ups, work around a theme/holiday, or roll dice.

    Typically the Live Event will run for a week. When it's over, we'll run our in-house simulation and generate the results. This will dictate the MOTN items as well. Similar to the simulation prediction videos we put out before some fights, we'll put out a results video on social media after the event closes.

    If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to use this thread as an open discussion. I'll do my best to keep you all up to date.

    Stay away from the Premium Ground Moves pack in UT, it's absolute muck. A counter kneebar is the best thing I got and I'll probably never get to use it given how specific it is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I agree, i opened 3 tonight and obit 1 good move 3 star Sage spinning kick to the body. Still shyte though. Just fought a guy in div 1 who had every kick in the book. He definitely deleted a higher fighter and applied the moves to a new guy. Still slapped the head off him though.

    Just did the same earlier, (RIP Jack Hackett) and now my new guy is already 12-1 online, four title defenses in a row in Division 2 and just a complete animal in general.

    It might be cheap but it gets results.

    So if I delete one of my fighters, all his equipped cards go back to my collection?

    I think so. I took my Joker who was 0-0. I have zero cards attached as they all went to my other LW. I'M currently 7-1 with him with 4 title defenses. The only loss came from a guy who wasnt a proper title contender so the belt wasn't on the line thank God

    That's some going with nothing equipped!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    As above if you delete a fighter do all cards go back into your collection? Thinking of doing that with my 1st LW, put all the cards info my other one

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Pulled the trigger and deleted my main fighter, all cards went back into my collection. Gonna delete my BW as well and add 2 new superheroes to join Spidey, Bats and Joker.

    Would never have that would be the way but it's handy that way. My Taekwondo HW sucks absolute balls. Unfortunately means you'll fight some top guys in div 1.

    On a related note, what advantages does a good team score and fighter level give you? Apart from the odd pack after levelling up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,529 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Just armbar'd a spin kick-spamming McGregor online with Brian Ortega.

    That was incredibly satisfying! :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,529 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    And now I've just won a UD over Pettis with Chad Laprise in Divison 4.

    I must be getting good! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    The 1st game had a set of easter eggs where certain things would happen under the right circumstance like
    Henderson/Bisping – If in round 2 Henderson lands an inside leg kick/overhand right combo Bisping will be knocked down.

    Well, the lead gameplay dev was hinting at more and more complex ones this time out. He's been dropping hints for the last week on twitter and official forums and people figured out it was something to do with Schaub who isn't even in the game. He posted this morning that it's been found, feckin hell. No full details on how to recreate it but it looks like you have to make a CAF named Brendan Schaub, fight Rothwell and have Ben win by GNP from half guard. Then a hidden animation will kick in, it's just brilliant! :pac:




    Edit:

    Also a pic showing Robin Black working with mocap fighters, looks like they are adding stuff for an upcoming patch and getting advice from the master.

    The 2 Premium Packs for special edition should be in your inbox now. The 3 best cards from it are 3 star jumping knee, 4 star counter puncher perk and 3 star Power Double Leg to Full Mount and they are all for MW. My Spiderman is gonna **** **** up.

    Dev posted that while he can't talk about what they are working on for the next patch, they are aware of the biggest complaints atm.

    Personally, i think the thai clinch is the biggest issue. OP'd enough to make most opponents constantly go for it, especially when they have the insta thai clinch.
    -clinch OP
    -side control OP
    -back side OP
    -sprawl stalling OP
    -parries OP
    -strikes types not well balanced (L1 strikes OP)
    -some unrealistic combos
    -move set complaints

    probably something else I'm forgetting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,792 ✭✭✭SureYWouldntYa


    My biggest complaint is that when they show the tale of the tape, it's in cm instead of inches

    It's small but good lord it pisses me off

    Same. I think if you change your console to American settings or something it works that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Tourney officially kicked off there. Gamebred wrecked my Conor with his Nate, then my Rose beat his PVZ. it all came down to the man named Punk and i pulled off the win.

    Great fights man, sound!

    After the tourney, we should try a league where we all play each other a couple of times, I think the results would be very interesting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,291 ✭✭✭Simply Red


    Won an online fight there by leg kick tko, Luke rockhold has some crazy leg kick power in this


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Leg tko's are rare, haven't seen any yet.

    Anyone doing Ultimate Team know if you get extra xp in higher divisions? It doesn't look like there are any benefits in losing in higher divisions than winning at lower ones.

    Got to Divison 3 briefly and the rewards were no better than Division 2. I've deleted all of my original fighters and replaced them, unfortunately it's the only way to make any progress. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Yeah the same, div 1 is great fun, handy fights with the odd tough one. Div 2 gets right tricky but above that isn't even enjoyable and progress is slow. I made 2 new characters, a BJJ LW where I'm subbing guys in under a minute and a Boxer BW who is wrecking house. Got all daily objectives and went from level 19 to 21 in about 10 fights.

    I think EA need to tweak the mode to make the higher divisions more enticing.

    Also i bought 2 basic packs instead of a premium pack last night. If you thought the premium ones are bad, DO NOT go anywhere near the basic ones. Less than useless.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Guy on UT tried to shoot straight out the gate. Bad idea. Do you even jitz bro?

    Nothing nicer than KOing someone who throws a sucker punch after fake glove touch, especially when they are a div 2 champ.

    Boxing is definitely overpowered though. I have a ton of cards for ground moves so my takedown defense and sub defense is high if it does go to the ground.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭finglashoop


    Using the trial from ea access at the.moment. dont think ill be buying.

    Playing against computer and on the ground its very slow to respond to controls when i use R to try something.

    Then computer gets my back and punches me out and i can do nothing to stop it while in that positon.

    Very frustrating.

    Ground game is great once you figure it out.
    Huge improvement over the last installment.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I finally came across how Side control was OP'd (like a dev said) last night. 2 fights in a row I was just held there. My transitions left or right were blocked while they landed strikes i couldn't block. I tried to fake my transitions but it was no good. Just stuck til i was finished.

    Full mount and backside finish the fight and break blocks too quick as well. That and thai clinch strikes are the easiest way to finish when rocking your opponent is actually the hardest way to finish someone. Hope that's tweaked for the next patch.

    Yeah it's a big issue for me. Its pretty pointless since you can just walk backwards and not take damage. Only time it's useful is when you have them cornered


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Yupp and you know the system is broken when if you get rocked, it's safer walking towards your opponent than walking towards the cage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,752 ✭✭✭Mr Blobby


    RebelSouls1974 goes through to the next round.

    Got my assed kicked over 2 fights. I really need to work on my parrying.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,261 ✭✭✭✭MrStuffins


    Decided to test the waters and play some online UT.

    It's mad! Think my record is 2-5 and most our my losses are me getting hit once, rocked and quickly TKO'd! Is this normal? Having such a weak chin starting out?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Oh snap the King is dead, tourney is wide open!

    Stuffins, what style did you pick? Boxer is the only one with a decent chin. A BJJ guy can get KO'd in 1 or 2 shots. When picking styles, go to Athleticism section and check Chin stats. Weird in official forum is everyone picking Boxer and asking devs to improve athleticism across all styles. Saying that it's nice pouching bjj and subbing boxers ASAP but then it's just more like the early UFC days instead of actual mixed martial arts.

    Not sure what your boards name is MaxiBurke, but I only have until 10 to do our tournament fights if you can make it by then. It'll have to be tomorrow evening otherwise if Zero allows it.

    His boards name is "I pussed out". Never-mind asking Zero to allow it, you should be begging me for forgiveness for delaying my inauguration as tourney champ. So hurry along there and finish your game of touch butt. The champs pixelated fist is getting restless.

    I'm taking this one fight at a time Rebel. Your chance to smell the canvas will come soon, have no worries.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    I think his boards name is jarain and yeah no prob to put it off a day or 2 if ye can pm each other to sort a time :). Axwel and logan have to arrange their fight as well anyway.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,529 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Don't want to give anything away because of the tournament, but there's one or two techniques that win me every fight and I hope to God they don't get nerfed in a patch!

    Went from 3-7 in divisions to 25-11 and the middle of Divison 3, pretty chuffed with myself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,930 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Marty with the cheese! Insta thai clinch? 2 gate subs from clinch? Power single leg takedown to side control and then kumura transition into armbar??

    Few easy ways to finish fights quickly.

    Yeah, chose BJJ. Damn! I'll create a boxer.

    Although the wins i've gotten have all come by sub. It was pretty easy to sb them to be honest...... just had to try not get KO'd first.
