[COLOR=#red]My Thoughts on UFC after a ton of fights vs friends, computer and career mode:
Pros:
- Game play is challenging and fun!
- Graphically beautiful, the detail in everything is awesome. Continues leg or mid kicks and you are bruising gradually. You get hit and you'll see the body react to that, the fatter the fighter (heavyweights, Mark Hunt) the more reaction you see.
- The career mode is a lot of fun. You'll get random messages, get to work out with fighters, (conor mcgregor is hilarious as always), training sessions get you a lot more familiar with the challenging controls.
- The create a fighter is deep and awesome. Lots of things you can change and upgrade.
- You really have to have a game plan when fighting. You don't have unlimited stamina and health. Can't stand in the middle and just button mash... If you do you will get caught, rocked or worse KO'd.
- Submissions are very challenging but very rewarding if you can get it done. I've gotten 1 against another person.
- Anything off the cage is fun to do and to watch. Either you can jump off the cage or you hurt someone and they bounce off the cage into a KO.
Cons:
- Seems like a very small roster to me. Which mean DLC costs... fail.
- I miss Pride mode, goes back to having a small playable roster. (Personal thing, nothing against the game except for playable roster)
- Submissions are a pain in the a-s.
- Transitions are too fast. Being able to get back to guard and/or standing up is way too easy. I will be in mount and maybe get a hit in and boom the guy stands up instantly.
- TJ Dillashaw isn't even in the game!!! Well done.
- When you parry a punch and go for a counter it wakes WAY too long.
- If you have someone rocked and they stumble backwards or fall down there is no way to run up on them that I know of. You just have to shuffle and in that time they can gain their sense back.
That's all off the top of my head. I really love this game, for sure recommended it to anyone that love mma or fighting games. 8.5/10[/COLOR]
