EA Sports MMA Demo Available, Post Impressions Here (360, PS3)

[Iadf]

I don't know man i'm not liking this so far the punches feel unresponsive and like they lack power and i don't feel like im in total control of my character.

With the sliding the movement looks way too fast imo,The takedowns look unrealistic and weird too. I was expecting to really like this being a big MMA fan and from all the videos and earlier impressions

I'll give it some time but there's not much i like here, But hey too each there own.Another thing i didnt like was the boring submission control system, like in ufc when i spun the stick real fast and got the submission working up a little sweat almost it was real rewarding. But this slow button pushing just has me like "huh i guess i won" .

No comprende!!!! lol

The reason this makes no sense to me on your level of reasoning. That means just about every sport game made would be boring. You mean you just got to press a button to shoot or throw the ball???

I can understand some of the other dislikes because like you said "to each their own". But the comparison of the shine being "exciting" "working up a sweat" to a strategic stamina management system just kind of send your post out of left field for me.

There will be some bugs in the demo that were not ironed out yet when branch it off. The gameplay team was off the demo a long time ago (my last changes went into the demo branch back in early July). It's a long process to get the demo ready to roll out and get through Microsoft and Sony for approval etc... So I would expect some glitches, I am quite sure these were ironed out in the main build though.

What I notice is that the animations look the same but some moves aren't represented by some fighters so it pans out, but things look the same because it animates the same. I think one thing I'm going to get used to is the animations. I feel there could be more.

I see what your saying about the animations, but more so what i mean by fighting the same is that they all seem to fight with a generic mix of strikes and grapples whereas in real life you'd never see someone like overeem attempt 20 double leg takedowns in a fight.

I just seen another cool thing. Fighting against Miller, I am the ground on my back and he is standing up kicking at my legs. Don't know how I did it but Shields took his foot and hooked it behind Millers ankle, causing him to fall on his butt, allowing me to get up and get on top of him in half guard.

Also I love the fact when a person pulls guard, it isn't an automatic takedown move. Mayhem jumped into my arms trying to pull guard and I was just holding him like a child and you see him tugging on the back of Shields head trying to make me fall forward.

But being my stamina was higher then his, after a while I just slammed him into the ground, causing his stamina to empty out.

And holy crap if Mayhem isn't a beast to play against. He goes all out non stop, constantly doing stuff. He is smothering.
