From the comments I've been seeing about the demo it just seems to me like the negative reactions about it have been coming from people who have only tried it for a few minutes and gave it no chance. I played the hell out of the previous mma games starting with UFC 2009. I didn't play UFC 3 because I got tired of the horrible animations from THQ which is funny because the same people who praise that game are complaining about the animations in EA UFC. I played a ton of EA MMA and this game feels nothing like that which is expected because it's not made by the same people, a fact that a lot of people don't seem to understand.

As far as it being a slugfest and the computer just throwing bombs all round, it makes sense because the computer is on easy, they keep throwing like idiots and blow their stamina in just a few moments making it super easy to counter and knock them out in the first round. I've gotten to the point where I wish it would let me change the difficulty so that I wouldn't just KO them in the first round after a parry or two. The ground game is tricky to get used to at first because you have to be paying attention to your stamina and the animations of your opponent to know what buttons to hit to stop them whether they are trying to get up or transition or submit you. Honestly though I'm glad the controls are difficult to learn because that means there is some depth to it.

It's not an absolute perfect representation of mma but knowing what the fight night guys have done before, why was anyone expecting it to be? It has its flaws but overall I'm still very happy with what I've played so far. I wish the ref was more interactive and I really don't like the way they are handling TKO's, or not handling with what is in the demo anyway. But presentation wise and graphically the game looks fantastic to me and I really can't complain about the way the game looks.

I would say to give it a little extra practice and at least get to understand the controls and how to use parries and counters because this game is all about that. And keep in mind this is just a demo, I don't know why people are getting so upset with a demo of a game that hasn't even come out yet.

I think even though this may not quite make amends for their original plans, it's still the right move in order to keep them competitive with Sony.

Although having said that I'm still getting a PS4 because the XBOX One's features are still TV and sports related and I am much more interested in the PS4's streaming technology.

I'm one of the people who decided to help kill Larry, not because I hated him and just wanted to kill him because he's an asshole. I thought ok we're in this locked meat freezer with this big guy who just had a heart attack and if we can't revive him soon we're all dead. In any zombie movie I'd be screaming at the T.V. "Just kill him you know what's gonna happen if you dont!".

Yay

I just got the game and so far my biggest complaint is with the training in the career mode. I cant seem to make any ground on my 16 stats that I have to raise, they just constantly drop back down to zero. Does anybody have any tips on how to maintain them?
