Also...about what youre saying about headkicks. You are wrong. I've already won 5 matches in a row simply doing headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, headkick, etc. until the other guy is KO'ed. It's a garaunteed victory every time in Exhibition mode when you use a kick boxer.

 

why don't you try playing against a real person online then?

I tell you, I've had my friend try the same exact thing and I kicked his ass all over the place. Playing against the CPU can be a bugged experience, I admit. Try playing against a human. You'll realize that your statement is nonsense.

EDIT: try playing against a human WITH some knowledge about the game. you'll get your ass kicked spamming headkick or any other one move.

Online is only 50% of the game.

Career mode is the other 50%. And I'm currently 8-0 doing headkick over headkick over headkick, and winning every match that way. It's so bad.

 

Hence, 50% of the game has already become boring and repetitive. Yay!

 

 

On the subject of career mode.... howcome you can only use Created fighters? This is really lame. Again, I hate to compare games to other games as I believe they should be judged on their own. But seriously, FNR3 came out years ago and set the precedent for these types of games.

You could use real fighters in career mode. It had southpaw fighters. It had parrying. It had bobbing and weaving to avoid punches. Why isn't ANY of that in this UFC game? THQ had more than ample time to develop this game (bought the rights almost 3 years ago IIRC??) and it comes across as a very unpolished and rush game.

 

TC, I respect that you came at me in a decent way. But even you will have to admit the animations in this game are terrible and repetitive. In Madden games, there are dozens and dozens of different tackling animations. In this game, there is ONE animation for each takedown (single leg, double leg, etc)

 

i'm not only talking about online. i'm talking about playing against a real human, which, to me (and i guess most players), constitutes more than 80% of the game time, because playing against the CPU is just practice for the real reason you actually buy this game:

to play with your friends and beat them up.

and if you play with your friends side by side and they know how to play too, your styles are really going to mix and you'll be countering each other on a daily basis. again, i agree with you about the cpu can be bugged at times, as the AI isn't perfect, but if you play against a real human, you'll really feel the game at it's best.

about career mode, i actually agree with the fact you can't use known fighters. what sense would it make to have GSP to go into the ultimate fighter house? It doesn't.

I also agreed about the graphics and animations being substandard. But to me, that's nothing compared to the gameplay options that are in the game, and the balance is wonderful.

Do you think every fighter in UFC started in the Ultimate Fighter house?

 

No. The majority of them did not. You must seriously be a newb to MMA if you think that. EVERY fighter (excluding Brock Lesnar) started out in small rinky dinky organizations that most ppl have never heard of, and had to work their way up the ranks. That's what career mode should be like in this game.

 

Also - LOL@ Madison Square Garden being included in the arenas in this game. UFC and MMA are BANNED in NYC and have NEVER been to Madison Square Garden.

So why did they include this in the game? Because MSG is in the WWE games IIRC. I might be wrong as I havent played too many WWE games recently, but if I'm right.... that REALLY shows how lazy the developers were for this game.
