I enjoyed EA UFC
Biggest problems
spamming straight punches online so you can't do anything against it (really only became an issue in black belt league or higher and especially against the cage haha)
the ground game was a lot easier to work with in this game, I had no issues subbing people but once you hit the upper echelon of the game, I could only be defensive.
I think most of the complaints just come from people who didn't play enough or learn the mechanics well enough.
Career mode, am I ever going to fight top names when I'm the champ? Always ended up fighting pre made characters that had no business being there. For instance, became LHW champ, and not once did I fight JBJ/Gus
Don't force me to retire, I rather degenerative stats in career mode.
I had a blast online and did 5 career modes.
