This is what bothered me in the demo. I don't know how deep the attributes are in the game yet, but I don't think there is any tendencies in the game for fighters. There should be a tendency attribute for each move so we don't get guys like BJ Penn or Ryan Bader doing spinning attacks in the game. Can anyone tell me what attributes there are when creating a fighter?

Although the guy did make some valid points, I think this is a perfect example of why not to read too much into game sites reviews of sports games. Discussing modes, and create a fighter options is well and all, but he didn't even discuss the striking, didn't even discuss the submission system.
The Eurogamer review is the exception to the rule though, and anybody who is on the fence about the game should give it a read. A lot of my complaints are in there, and it's good to see a very deep discussion of what the game got wrong in terms of the combat mechanics. It's very refreshing to see a review that really understands the intricacies of MMA, and translating this into a video game. The discussion on the clinch work, grappling and jiu jitsu was very good. I think that review is fair, and very accurate.

Damn only one review so far? I am totally on the fence about this game, especially since the demo. Need moar reviews and gaf impressions before I fork over 60 for this.
Labels probably wanted too much for the rights. The price is different when you're selling someone's song as part of a package (vs. broadcast).
You only need to read the Eurogamer review, it's surprisingly deep and covers everything you need to know about the game. Seems like the author is very knowledgeable when it comes to MMA.
Also the longer you hold it, the less effective it is.
I hope they patch the ridiculous super man punches, wheel kicks, and off the cage moves. The development team obviously watched to many Martial Arts flicks lol.
My copy from Amazon should arrive today. Despite the flaws I've noticed from the demo, I loved playing it and it satisfied my thirst for blood sport lol.

Yep good call man I just got done reading it. I think imma get it. I've always had a soft spot for these games and I guess I don't really expect them to perfectly replicate real life mma in a video game. Plus this shit will be a ton of fun with friends over I think.
I've used it in Madden and FIFA and it always turned out halfway decent. This shit apparently thinks I look like a light skin Danny Glover.
Fuck you, EA!
Gameface looks nothing like me. Fuck man, I was looking forward to that aspect.
At least yours works. I get an error when I tries to download.

I lost my TUF finale and had the choice between Rematch and Continue. Not sure what happens if you lose a regular UFC fight though. I hope you can't just rematch everything.
Really liking the Career Mode so far. Big improvement over the older ones.

Don't plan on losing anymore
No option to rematch in regular UFC fights. I think only TUF

I am not surprised it's hard to design a grappling system for this game. A lot of UFC fans don't even understand what the hell is going on the ground. Hell, I consider myself a grappler, but some of these things are too high level for me to even understand.
The ground game is amazing once you see it. If you have ever fought yourself out of a triangle in real life. Holy shit. that's all I'll say!

I really just wish they didn't overpower striking and make grappling so obtuse. After beating Normal without much hassle (using everything the game has to offer), I went to Pro to unlock the legends and ended up clearing the entire mode with nothing more than the same kick to the head over and over again with occasional blocks. 80% of my fights, including on Pro mode, were probably beaten in Round 1. Probably 20% of my fights were beaten in less than 1 minute.

Also some fighters I would have liked to have seen:
The Snowman. Excellent wrestler!
Sexyama. Perhaps next to Rousey, he is one of the few I have really seen using his Judo effectively. I like you Yoshihiro!

Yeah, you get 2-3 right away. By the end of it, I had like 40% completion. Platting it would take a bit of time I reckon.

Can anyone confirm that you can play TUF career mode with Bruce Lee?
Sure does. I was dominating Rich Franklin for 3 out of 5 rounds. The only time he did any significant damage was in the 2nd round when he knocked me to the ground with a body shot, but that was about it. Literally out hit him and took him down and def. controlled more ground time than he did. Sure, he landed a decent amount of shots (mostly body though) and had a few takedowns (same amount as myself) but I had him rocked 3 times, which one of them knocked him down. Plus, he was a bloody mess.Somehow I lost a decision, was extremely mad haha. Havent sworn at a video game in a long time!

I can tell you, because I played it all day yesterday. You are justified in feeling this way.
Yes, you can.

No. Its fun. It seems a little hollow. It will occupy my time. I do not like the ground game that much.
Just lost my first fight. Why? Because I was matched up against Chael Sonnen on the undercard.. not mad though, had that coming after like 7 straight Ws lol.
I regret choosing my decision on playing as a boxer in LHW division. The matches always end early in round 1, with either me or someone else getting KOd. Not much drama

Wait until it's $10? This game won't cost $10 until 2017 lol.
Despite the mixed reviews I've been hearing, I'll probably grab this today. As a huge boxing fan who knows very little about MMA, the things that are bothering some people do not bother me. I guess ignorance really is bliss. I do hope they patch a few things, hopefully we can get some nice online matches going in the community.

Yeah, I don't see the point of the fight offers when you literally have no choice but to fight whoever Joe Silva puts in front of you.

Downloaded the game this morning and it's indicating a finished download in the ps4 UI but when I'm in game it's not fully playable and 30% installation ongoing... I really hate this gen of consoles, trash UI that can't even can't tell you if you got the full game or not.

A couple questions.
Someone said in a stream you don't fight real fighters in Career mode, only CAF's. This can't be true can it?
Does the Bruce Lee code come in the box or does Amazon send it separately?

Obviously realism wasn't a priority at EA.
You start off fighting CAF cans until you move up to the real fighters.

Important: Read the review ALL the way through. You start to get one impression but it may change once you get towards the end.
Well written review, indeed. I'll pick up my copy and hope for the best as I'm still excited for it.
You expected that to change? EA went wild with the limitations on what you can record it's absurd. Even the brief introduction by Dana White was blocked. I don't even know why they do it because if someone really want's to record something they can use a capture card.
