I guessed the first response would be "you aren't good at the ground game." It's the bit I've concentrated on the most, I appreciated the idea off using the right stick and the system in place, I just don't think it's finished. Maybe next year the game will be worth buying.
There are a few other stupid things in the game, like your career guy never changing his age. Would it not be sensible to start with quite high stamina/speed/cardio, maybe choosing one to be your main attribute, then concentrate mainly on building skills? Then as you get older, your physical attributes tail off and you have to rely on your skills i.e. change your game? There's very little depth to the career in this sense and all the sponsorship and Cred nonsense is just annoying, really. |

My main concern with the ground game isn't the control response, it's the lack of depth.

Just got my arse handed to me by Tito Ortiz.
![]() Totally outclassed me on the ground and kept taking me down, so I wasn't able to make it a stand up fight as I usually like it. |

Submissions aren't great either. Clicking a button and then only getting it if your opponent is pathetic at submission defence and beat to shit doesn't really cover it. That should be a truly button-bashing moment, submissions can also happen any time in a match, not only knock-outs. |

Long hair caused them clipping problems.
My career is heading down the toilet, any time I take on a fighter in the top 10 of the rankings, I get absolutely killed. Gone from 7-1-0 to 8-4-0.

And I've just read what ECG said about it and now aniticipate not even liking it all that much since I've not even got the being a UFC fan to fall back on.
Mask get a 360 though so I can beat you in this whilst abusing you verbally. |

i have sort of solid 7-9/10 hopes for this game. i think the real gem will be getting to knock your mates out, or baird. no doubt he'll try and ground and pound me though, the big gay scotsman.

Picked this up yesterday and just started my career, 4-0 so far. Really enjoying it as well.
Need to try and get to jist more with the ground game, had fun on one round just moving into different transitions. From what I've read though, once you learn the game properly it can be a really complex fighting game. |

so i went and bought a 360 and this game WOO. got the game second hand cause all the brand new ones were sold out, so woo again cause i saved money. i won the heavyweight title today and i've defended it well so far. i've not really struggled particularly with anyone, although a few times i stepped up too early or took fights at short notice i shouldn't have.
my gripes mainly are the amount of menus and loading you have to go through to do something as pointless as putting sponsers on your shorts, and the training camp tasks lark. tried about a billion times to do a jab/uppercut combo and succeeded plenty yet it never seems to flash up. another annoying thing is how my dickhead sparring partner never tries to take it to the ground where i could learn something. anyway, hot tip for you all, you can bang the same sponsors logo all over your shorts and you'll get cred for every one. so if you just plaster thq logos all over your shorts early on you'll get 350 cred every fight. also it is annoying how bad muay thai sucks early on considering you have to do the dickhead training camp to improve and get new moves that can actually do some damage. |

Grrr, I totally dominated Rashad Evans in my first shot at the Light Heavyweight Title, and he blasted me out of nowhere for a cheap KO. Git.

God my lightweight career has gone to shit, was 13-0-0 and then lost four on the trot due to shitty submission and cheap ko's, making me drop real far down the rankings with only two years left to go after the title

Beginners should go to middleweight IMO. Just stay away from Silvas clinch and you should have no worries

honestly didn't find heavyweight all that hard. think i had 6 losses but most were early on and one was that fucking scabby brock lesnar ko. i bet you get a different ending if you still have the belt too. cunts.

so i decide to give kenny florian a title shot and KO the bastard like a motherfucker. went in with a spinning punch thingy which he blocked, kick the the head, dead. 7 seconds.
also bjj camp can go fuck itself. this game needs more compliant sparring partners for that shit. or you have them perform the technique you want them to do, or start in the position you need to be. just ridiculous trying to level up. |

Nice tip on the logos. You know you can hard install the game to you hard drive to reduce load times a little. Your 360 won't sound like a vacuum cleaner when it's in either.

really? thats pretty sweet.
another tip i just found. if you go to the same training camp 5 times you get their logo to bang on their shorts, which is worth 80 cred each, so plaster them all over and you get 800 cred each fight for that alone. |

If you go through the career mode once and unlock all the 80 level cred logos you can then create a new fighter not in career mode and then put all the logos on the shorts, then you can import him into career mode and he keeps the shorts and you can have up to possibly 880 cred points from your shorts in your first match. you get the extra 80 if you use an 80 level sponsored shorts like warrior or sprawl shorts.

You can go undefeated easily at heavyweight if you dodge lesnar nogiera and mir until your built up enough to fight them. Nogiera is the easier of the three if you have to fight one early.

god i love this game. anyway, just ran though a whole career in one night
light heavyweight with a mighty 34-0-0 record. picked the highest cred fights every time and ended up with something like 140000 by the end. you unlock an achievement over 100000 by the looks of it. just before my last match they decided to induct me in the hall of fame which is nice. also finished off my wrestling to level 3 on the very last training camp. btw i recommend american top team for wrestling stuff because 9/10 of the tasks are easy enough usually. got the elusive submission of the night too after tito ortiz grounded me only for me to slap a guillotine on the cheeky fuck about 34 seconds into the match. WOO. and to top it all off in my last fight (and tenth against rashad) i knocked him out in 17 seconds and also unlocked another achievement cause i dodged his only attack before levelling him. i would like to think it was the MC hammer award. |

Just finished off my lightweight career, ended up being pretty good in the end. Finished with the title, on a ten fight streak and ended with a record of 26-8-0. No HoF though, and still haven't been able to get anyone to submit yet
![]() Also, I saw something flash up on screen that I have no idea what it is. After I got about 85k cred it said Punkass was unlocked. Anyone know what it is? |

i seem to get most of my submissions from sprawling or guillotine when they're in closed guard, the more unsuspected kind of thing.

KO'd Big Nog in 15 seconds. Retirement fight is up next
Brock was ranked #2 and I haven't fought him before so I figured I'd 'give him the shot'. Should be fun

There are three sets of tasks in each level of the camps.... the tasks never change camp to camp. Once you go through all three and you havnt leveled up yet, they cycle back to the first one.
