Well a lot of people are looking at if they should buy this or not so i will give my opinion.
Ill just post a few things that i have done so far.
***I learned all the moves from the demo and followed the tutorial so when i started playing this game, i had a leg up on whats going on.
***I went 20-0 in Light Heavyweight with my fighter in career mode on advanced difficulty.
***I am 12-0 online in ranked matches,4-0 in unranked.
***I have done 4 classic fights
***I have played with atleast one person from each weight class
1) If online was the worst thing in the world (lags all the time, basically unplayable), how does that effect your enjoyment of the game?It would enjoy it less for sure. So far i have had no problems and i am surprised since i DC from EAs and 2Ks servers all the time. i am going to get into later how to make career mode more fun if this happens.
2) What do you hate the most about this game so far (anything at all, but there has to be something)I hate that they wont say my created fighters name and it is only his nickname they said. Also in career mode nobody ages, so you will end up playing they same 5 guys a lot at the end of your career if your on top.
3) What gives you the impression you'll be playing this game for at least a few more months? I will definetly be playing this til NCAA comes out. Then i will probably put this down. But i dont want you to get the wrong idea, the greatest game in the world couldnt keep me from playing with my Fighting Irish in dynasty. But if that wasnt coming out, i would probably pay this until Augustish before i got bored.
Pros:
This game isnt going to win awards for its features, its all about the game play. The fighting in this game is incredible. It is so in depth and no fight is the same. Its not a button mashing fest and you have to learn what to do or you will lose. I face a lot fo people like that in my online matches and its easy wins.
Commentary is unbelievable in this game. It is just like a real UFC fight, you will never be bored of the commentary and it flows so well with the game you will be shocked.
Career Mode is fun. But it will get boring if you blow through the rankings fast and get to the top in 5 wins. I suggest fining the difficulty you win about 60% of your games on and move it up to next difficulty. You want to lose and struggle for it to be fun. If you win every match it gets boring fast.
Cons
They wont say the name of your created fighter.
Submissions are impossible against the computer. I have pulled them off against people but they probably just dont know what to do. Just to see if i can do it, My created fighter with 60 submission took Rampage Jackson to the 5th round on beginner. I had him knocked out in the 2nd but didnt finish and tried to wear down his stamina and got him into the red with about a cm left on his stamina bar. Still could get past the first set up on the submission.
Overall i love this game so far. I enjoy every mode on the game, i even go into exhibition because its fun. The fighting is so much fun and so complex that its so much like a chess match. If i had to give it a number rating i would say 8.8 out of 10 just because it doesnt have a great career mode which IMO is holding this back.
