Online pro control v. amateur control...pro always wins.

Offline pro control reversals are more difficult to pull off.

They totally screwed up the ground game.

They went back to the original version, completely forgetting how tedious it got. You sit in guard and can't do anything, then you throw a tiny little head punch to get a little movement and you get pushed off because then you're not blocking transitions anymore. It's going to become another "lay around holding block" with single punch/block/single punch/block happening all over again.

They changed it in 2010 for a reason and they seem to have forgotten that.

My initial impressions - a few games - were that they've done some great work. My later impressions (20 or so games) is that they've ****ed up the ground game again, the submission system is terrible, the CPU just throws haymakers constantly, power punches cancel out all other punches or attacks, body shots are too hard to do because you get touched and it stops your attack completely.

Honestly - not impressed at all.

The presentation for Pride as well as the added moves are awesome. The gameplay I'm not so impressed with. Pride mode is just Jackson walking around then throwing 3-4 huge punches, then walking around some more before doing the same thing ad nauseum. Then it goes to the ground and he reverses you several times... Then you get on top and try to throw a punch or two and are immediately transitioned backwards or off.

I hope THQ does go under and has to sell off all their rights. We might get a publisher who can come up with some better ideas.

I will buy this game for sure - if not just for the novelty of Pride mode - but I'm not impressed by the demo in terms of gameplay. It almost seems stats don't matter again. On the ground it's not about stats or attributes, it's rock-paper-scissors. Who picked the right move against what the opponent did... Standing, I already said, seems to be the AI just throwing power shots over and over.

I guess I should just try to be grateful that there is a UFC game and that Pride mode is in it, though.

Is there a way to punch with jabs/straights while holding the left joystick in any direction? The only way I am able to throw jabs/straights is when I take my thumb completely off the left stick.

Yes. You can hold it anyway but the direction of you opponent. So if you on the left attacking your opponent, holding the stick up, down, or to the left will throw a jab.

Sometimes it works when you hold up or down, but light and right don't work. You're probably better off just letting go for a second while you throw then getting back on the left stick.
