Would love a practice mode, not only for practicing trans but to see damage values as well. Can help to see if certain perks are worth it or not.
Yea the plum is hard, especially against the cage. You gotta time the block just right. Then immediately L3 to escape. If they block the escape, maybe try transitioning to a different clinch position after the the blocked knee?

Online matches (unranked) are funny. Guy is either really damn good or really new to the game.

I have a feeling people who've played EA MMA, and the THQ games will have a huge advantage now that MMA is more popular and this will be the first MMA video game for a lot of people.

I felt like I finished Career mode way too fast. Maybe it was because I did it on "Normal"...

There is also no way see fight history like in Undisputed 3 which sucks because the game also doesn't remember re-matches like Undisputed 3 did for Career mode.

Hopefully the harder modes will make Career last longer.

I love this game but as I play more...I find little things missing which made Undisputed 3 great.
Click to expand...

I didn't even think Undisputed was that great... so I guess I'm skipping this game since the only thing I care about is Career mode.

I tried the career mode but holy shit, the amount of training/tutorials made me give up :(

They should've made things simpler.

Next time you're in the thai clinch, hold R2 and tap Square/Triangle to block shots to the head, and X/Circle to block shots to the body. You have to time it correctly like you would a regular parry. Immediately after you block once, transition. You'll be fine. The game does a poor job explaining that to you, just takes practice.

Got this yesterday and immediately played this online against a mate of mine (we've played hundreds of hours of the Undisputed games) and we were laughing our arses off for all the wrong reasons. It's far too easy for matches to devolve into some rock 'em sock ' em robots shit.

Will be giving it more time, as I get accustomed to the controls might see some more depth, as it stands I'm underwhelmed by their game systems.

Oh, and no way to rematch forcing you to go through the long arse loading screens to remake a room is bullshit.

Just went 2-0 in ranked. Wow what a difference from unranked. Fought a point war with a dude playing as Bruce Lee. His parrying was insane and I was Nate, so too slow for him. So I probably won because of the take downs and trantitions.

Mine was..automatic. Was expecting a login screen or whatever, I actually ended looking through the options to see if I needed to sign-in, but it was linked already. Granted I signed months ago to play Most Wanted on Vita; so it seems that once the account are linked you don't need to manually login for each game.

Parry - counter. Counters do increased damage and have an increased stun/ko/liver shot ability. Nothing stops a spammer like a sudden liver shot ending.

Edit-

Also, played through career over the past couple of days and finally went online tonight. Bruce Lee, Bruce Lee everywhere.

Wow, just had a war against Jim Miller in career mode....TKO with 4 seconds left in the 3rd round


Uhhh....20 knees to the face in the plum should kill a dude......come on EA.....


Hahahaha, just had the most hilarious bug.......how can I check if it recorded?

Basically, had Gray Maynard's back, rained down punches, he was fading fast, ref stood us up for some reason......Maynard instantly falls down knocked out as the action resumes lol

You guys weren't kidding about parrying being OP

Knocked out Anthony Pettis in 30 seconds after parrying his spinning shit and punching him in the face :)


Winning the title was almost as fun as the time I was actually in the octagon running around with my arms in the air :p

Try to maintain a long range if you can't defend the takedowns using r2 + down on the right stick, once they miss the takedown hit him with a hook, a missed takedown works like a parry, hitting them once they miss it deals a lot of damage and stuns them momentarily.

Silly Cowboy.....takes me down.......I wait until my stamina regens.......reverse to mount.....elbows..he manages to get up...knocked out a few seconds later :)


Unlike with punches, elbows convey an actual sense of power on the ground

I can confirm that there's a random bug where the ref will stand you up as you're doing damage. It's happened to me quite a few times while I was in full mount raining bombs.

Just logged on and I had a loss that I didn't have last night?

I was 2-0 and now I'm 2-1, I didn't even play online after them wins so I couldn't have even gone into ranked by mistake... Anyone else get this?

This game feels different than the demo. I just had 2 fights and even though I blocked and parried alot my stamina dropped to basically nothing in seconds leaving me really slow. Then the CPU just battered the shit out of me.

In the first fight I decided to take it to the ground and once I had him in a good position I landed a few knees to the ribs but even then my stamina dropped more than his. :/

Thanks for the tip. And yea, Bruce Lee is chosen so much online...I nullify this by taking them down and smoothering them. One guy even got frustrated and started screaming in the mic.

A really lackluster career mode with little effort and tons of "we are saving these features for the second game".

I agree with many that the explaining and teaching is quite bad. They need more guides for transitioning and how to defend from full mount and attack from full mount proper.

Overall, solid game, would give it a 7/10. Just finished the career and played 10 online matches.

Yo guys, one question from myself. Is the full game 1080p compared to the demo on PS4? I am thinking of picking this up but I'll wait for awhile if it's not 1080... That might seem like a dumb thing to say but I value it. Also the devs said beforehand it was supposed to be 1080P on the PS4.

900p upscaled. They want to patch it to 1080 though they said.

Still can't unlock my DLC *sigh*

Downloaded my pre-order bonus (Bruce Lee bundle) and it still says "Not downloaded" in the EA UFC menus even though I downloaded and installed via PSN. Re-downloaded and installed the whole game + DLC and still nothing.

What difficulty are you guys playing on? I started my career on pro and it's a beast. I have fought the first two fights 50 times or so. My fighter is so weak and I max out all of the training, they should really add micro transactions for your career. I've figured out how to effectively do everything accept from submission defense. I can break the submission attempts, but when I don't I'm done for. The tutorial vids are straight ass...I hope someone at EA sees this and then gets on the ball and break this shit all the way down. I don't know why companies don't do in depth guide videos.

Click to expand...

It's incredibly annoying. I imagine the ps4 version is the same, but on the xbox version, whenever a cutscene comes up, it goes to the xbox one pause screen and completely cuts off all audio, including the streamer's voice chat. It's incredibly boring, especially as career mode seems to have about 3 cutscenes between each match.

It's amazing how realistic the fighters look, I was seriously blown away when I watched some of the game on Twitch.

I'm so scrubishly awful at this game! Haha

Go into practice... everything down.
Go into online game.... get punched/kicked in the face repeatedly despite blocking, out in under 45 seconds.
Every. time.

Been watching a lot of twitch fights, and I just dont get it. I cant take anything, which is a problem, since I'm apparently having trouble pushing one single button. Yet, some of these guys will go 5 rounds taking 100 levels of hell to the head, head blinking red like a siren....yet they are able to spam wins left and right. Sigh.

Just had a fight with me as Alex Davis and some guy as Ronda.

I had 88 signifcant strikes, with my opponent with 0. 169 total strikes versus 85. Rocked him three times in the body, once with the head, and staggered him with leg kicks two times. In the second round he throws one body kick that tko's me. -_- You can't even tko with legs kicks, its literally impossible, this dude blocked NOTHING and still beat me.

The game is fun when bullshit like that doesnt happen

Nothing. You can have 100 CAF but can't used in ranked online.

So I pre-ordered this via psn and was all excited to fight as bruce lee. That's when I noticed he's locked and requires me to purchase him in the store. It says on my ps4 that I've downloaded and installed the packs and they're ready for us so I don't even know what the fuck. If I go to the in-game store the bundles show as not downloaded but clicking on them to download takes me to a screen that says no content found. It seems pretty broken to me.

I've heard the way to fix this by going under the PSN settings and selecting "Restore Licenses".

Well this isn't real life, and since this is an arcadey mma game, I expect to win when I absolutely dominate someone in a fight. If it was real life the guy wouldn't even be able to stand on that leg let alone throw kicks or do takedowns off of it.

Oh I agree, I almost can't stand this game because of it. I was just commenting on you dismissing the strike itself.

I was mainly dismissing it since it was thrown off the lead injured legs, in fact I hit both of them so it probably would've had no impact. But yeah Ive seen some pretty nasty body shots in real fights.

I ditched the leg kicks besides mixing it up every now and then and I'm focusing on body shots and counter body shots mixed in with jabs. Seems to work pretty well at the moment.
