When it comes to sways and pretty much everything else depends on the fighter you are using. That is something I always noticed, some people simply move faster then others.

Like Overeem kicks faster then Lashley, but Lashley punches faster then Overeem. I can sway better with Miller then Shields. Lashley can take more shots to the head then Overeem can.

Kind of funny last night Overeem rocked me, but when he was coming in I swayed and caught him with a hook that rocked him. Followed it up with 2 straights and a hook that dropped him and then I just finished him off.

That was the funniest thing ever. And I must say a diving into guard punch with Lashley pretty much ends the fight 90% of the time.

He doesn't attempt nearly as many, at least in my experience doing Reem vs Reem. Lashley vs Reem, why wouldn't he want Lashley on his back? Don't forget Reem's ground game is pretty solid and he threw Brett Rogers to the ground pretty easily in his last fight.

[goh]

Takedowns are RIDICULOUSLY magnetic. Literally get stuck in animations when the AI attempts a takedown. Watching Overeem's feet shuffling backwards while he was standing in place? Just get sucked/locked into it and can't move or dodge to the side or back or anything.

Then there was what should've been a flying knee to the face but noooooo stuck in the animation and taken down or it just entirely misses and there's some sort of double invisible wall contact going on. They're also possible/effective from too far of a range. Thankfully it was easy to sweep.

There's also no recovery window I noticed. Hit him with a knee,bounces of the cage,headkick and the next thing I know I'm getting taken down before I have the chance to press another button? WTF?

Really appriciated the takedown attempt when I was trying to touch gloves too. Stuffed that one at least.

Everything else is nice,especially the blood. I like how big the puddles get and how they're all over the place. Sub system also fantastic,I hope both UFC and the WWE games adopt it. However getting stuck in these magnetic takedown attempts is simply unacceptable. Can't move away or side step because your fighter all of a sudden becomes locked in place or hit them out of it because it just up and overrides any striking animation. Can only press back on the right stick.

Glitch to report. Between rounds Lennon Jr. announced "and still heavyweight champion..." I thought they were stopping the fight due to Lashley's cheek having been removed but I guess it was just a random glitch. The other option is that I had hit him after the bell and that might've caused it too.

No stoppages at all I guess. I just put it on easy got in the thai clinch with Overeem,elbowed his right eye for all of round 1 and elbowed his left eye for all of round 2. Can't count the times he fell over,both eyes are completly closed and his face(/Overeem's arms) is entirely covered in blood. I think his facial structure actually changed. He looks like Mike Tyson now. Lashley's blood got on Overeem's face and he wiped it off. That was cool. Though I guess it might've been sweat? His face changed again. Now he looks like Ru Paul if he/she/it was up crying all night and had been wearing red eyeliner.

Bah accidental KO from the sprawl. 548/638 in strikes.

[goh]

Working the body is actually effective! Slows the takedowns a lot. Another great job on damage display there as well. It also leads to actual KOs instead of just TKOs. Lashley went down just like like Apollo Creed in Rocky IV on a body shot KO. I was like ah crap,he's dead.

Jake Shields(me) vs Miller(cpu)

It was a close match with Miller almost locking in two subs. Got in some decent work on the ground and did a great job taking me down.

I landed some bigger blows in the stand up and on the ground stood up from mount twice because the CPU sucks once mounted.

This was a really close fight and don't see anyway shape or form the judging would of came out like below. This looks as if i just straight dominated, but it looked much closer.

Judge 1
Round 1 - 10/8 Jake
Round 2 - 10/7 Jake
Round 3 - 10/10 Jake
Total - 30/25 Jake

Judge 2
Round 1 - 10/9
Round 2 - 10/8
Round 3 - 10/10
Total - 30/27 Jake

Judge 3
Round 1 - 10/8 Jake
Round 2 - 10/7 Jake
Round 3 - 10/10 Jake
Total - 30/25 Jake

UFC's judging has been similar with wacky results I remember...seems like it's near impossible to get decent video game judging.

Not that wacky. Ive never seen a 10-7 round in UFC 09 or 10. Rarely see 10-8 rounds unless a person is clearly dominating.

That is true...I'd get 10-8 rounds but don't think I've seen a 10-7
