18 yeah. Specifically so my career lasted as long as possible, or so I thought.

Never finished one in 2010.

Okami is my middleweight GSP.

Did the game force retire you specifically or anyone after 12 years? Like if I start at 25 will I retirement at 37? Or is it random?

It's fights and years. You do 4 fights a year.

No-one would retire if they just defended the middleweight title against Sonnen in a 1 minute KO.

No where to go but down after a dominance like that.

I can Haz Silva vs gsp!?!??! :D

I don't think you can use a career CAF in any other mode. That's pretty lame.

I'm thinking of using gsp going up a weight class and dethroning Silva in career mode or visit versa

Also you can't use caf in online?

You can, but only CAF's in CAF mode, not career mode by the looks of it.

Wait you mean you can't change weight classes with the roster fighters or you mean you can't go online...?

Clearly with the mention of CAF I was talking about the CAF portion of your post.

Online is currently fucked though. Ranked and camps do not work at all.

Really? THQ is on its last legs and this is really their last big shot at not going under. How could they fuck up the online after th fiasco that is WWE 12?

Why is John Locke reffing my match?

so is this worth me buying? kind of addicted to the demo.

I'd say so. Just don't expect the online to ever work properly seeing as WWE '12 is still fucked.

Honestly, the online and a few KO's with shots that missed are the only bad things I can say. Everything else has been tweaked to fuck and is much better than 2010. Pride is just the icing on the cake.

probably will buy it then, I don't expect anything from THQ's servers so I figured the online would suck.

Was just playing the PSP version of 2010. Was destroying Alves with GSP and hit him with a headkick and Alvez just stood there while GSP celebrated.

Despite the fact he wasn't even rocked by the kick and just stood there, it was a KO victory.

Pretty much. The only part of commentary I don't blank out is Rogan talking about my match at the start of each fight.

My friend at work was playing this and he won by TKO via leg kicks. It was glorious

Soccer kick KO's never get old, loving this.

that's not true. i made a point of going undefeated with CAFs on hard mode and picking the highest rank fighter every time. i imagine it's a lot harder at heavyweight than lightweight though. rubber guard + punch spamming til standup helps achieve the goal (in 2010 at least)

Currently 22-0, haven't had too many tricky fights, some how always manage to come back if I get rocked due to my knockout left hook.

I notice that the AI seems to go beast mode if they get rocked and survive sometimes.

Really enjoying this game so far. I got to 23-0 before I was knocked out about 12 seconds into a Pride fight by a jumping knee.

My only real complaint so far is load times, there pretty shit and it cant even change a menu without thinking it seems :(

I'm just not getting into it. Happy I got it through gamefly and didn't buy it. I dunno, I definitely see the improvements over the last game, but in the end, it's still the same. Plus, the fighters feel even more generic this time around.

Yeah I rocked Chael Sonnen, he recovered and started beating the shit out of me. :( Handed me my first loss.

One of my first losses was when I knocked a guy down on one punch and then he ankle locked me for the sub.

On the subject of AI I find if you get rocked your better to cover up to get back on track then go maximum attack counter punching and I usually find you can rock them and finish pretty quickly.

So what's the situation with online being down/extremely shit? Are these bums trying to fix it or are they too busy clearing out their cubicles?

I'm hoping to buy this pretty soon for the 360. Worth paying full price for or wait til it goes down more?
