Unfortunately, it seems you can only do them when your opponent is stunned. Then hitting the kick button when they're down will do the kick or stomp.

If you're in the sprawl you can hit them with some knees to the head. Haven't been able to do kicks other than them being rocked though.

The soccer kick is after your opponent goes down stunned you perform a soccer kick right to the opponents head. Not really sure how I head stomped him, I was so excited after landing a soccer kick I just was hoping to end the fight.

Its great how guys actually touch gloves in this game. Its cool how some guys will touch gloves, some just ignore you, and some taunt you for it. I taunted a guy back and my guy just shook his head at the guy, thought that was a nice touch.

first fight i had involved both fighters from fightershare....

rampage (me) vs machida (cpu).....

edited both fighters and machida had better stats in basically every category except power and the clinch.

played on hard difficulty....


first round, I had a lot of trouble hitting machida but it was pretty even....he landed many more strikes, but i took him down once and got some points. slight edge to machida.

2nd round I opened up and apparently opened up too much....counter city from machida, and i started to get bust up....then he started to leg kick me....i couldnt do a thing and rampage was laboring. I usually play with no HUD but this match I played with a HUD to see how the game works.

So by the middle 2nd round, my leg health was halved, my head health was nearly halved, and I was bleeding badly. I noticed the more success machida had with the leg kicks, he kept going at it and the announcers also took notice. That's a good sign for the AI....

machida at this point had nearly full health in all categories and Rampage was in shambles...but out of nowhere a counter left hook landed beautifully on Machida coming in |(who has an 86 chin in the game btw)....and Machida DROPPED .....I couldn't believe it....it felt so real. Basically a slugger's luck...lucky punch, hail mary or whatever else you wanna call it.

Machida was down half out, and 3 shots to the head later, match was over.

Never experienced a moment like this in ufc 09 ( didn't get 10)....In 09 after 2 rounds, if your health was half depleted and the cpu's was nearly full...it was pretty much a given you're either gonna lose by points (avoid punches and play it safe) or you're gonna get KOed in the next big exchange. Not so in EA MMA

After the fight I checked out some stats....Machida landed like 110 strikes compared to my 45....got abused up until the finish really. To be honest....the finish reminded me a lot of shogun machida 2. Great 1st match.

the next 2 fights with the same fighters I lost by TKO and points....couldn't reproduce the 1st outing, but at least I know that a fight can always be turned by ONE SINGLE blow.

Love it love it love it! Played Japanese rules, not sure what the position is called, but he went for the takedown and I stuffed him on the ground, was kind of in a head lock. Anyway had the guy down, and I friggin knee'd him in the head. First time I saw it, I jumped outta my seat. Went to a decision, I lost of course. Having a real tough time beating the CPU on medium.

What I love about this game so far, the CPU worries me. If I'm fighting a BJJ guy, I don't ever want to goto the ground. Guys will pull combos into takedowns. Guys fight exactly to their strengths.

First of all, Let me say that this is a very good game. The balance offline is implemented very well and the AI plays tough but fair for the most part.

Second, I haven't ventured online yet, I wanted to get a feel for the controls a little better before I do that. Also, I keep reading about the the Button hook spammers and bad memories return from FN round 4.

Anyway, I am sold on the gameplay and looking forward to one day playing some of the OS'ers online.

Peace

The stomps are when you attack for a TKO,use the kick buttons instead.
