Gameface looks way, way worse in game than it does on the website (which incidentally does not loving work for me. I can only use the picture I've already uploaded, I can't upload new ones, and I can't even log on in Chrome, I have to use IE.)

The gameface site didn't support the newest version of IE or Opera for me, and I had the same login issues with chrome. I fixed the latter by just deleting all my temp files and cookies, and for some reason the login worked, and the app besides. But only in chrome. Another interesting thing about gameface, aside from it looking generally worse, is the fact that the hair and beard types on the gameface website does not exactly (or at all) correspond with similar hair/beard ingame, so what might look like a five o'clock shade in gameface will turn into a Conor McGregor-beard in the game. If you experiment with different hair/beard and a few different photos, you can make a decent gameface character, though.

I started up this game today, and i am loving it. This is the story of Punch Rockgroin: Kickboxer template, purple douchy hair, Welterweight. Alienware, game victorious! Rockgroins first hour wasnt very fun, a 55/100 (overall) kickboxer with a 0-0-0 record who wasnt very good at anything. Struggled through the first 2 TUF-fights, both ending in decision wins. A few knockouts later he found himself in the TUF finale vs Doh Son from South Korea. It took 2 tries before i could kick the South Korean prodigy to a pulp and getting my 6 figure contract and a happy Bald man shout time in videoform. -Undercards here i come! Rockgroin grunted and took on Whatshisname Noface and got beaten in 9 seconds of the first round of his UFC debute. Bald man shouted some encouraging stuff about Silva not cutting me for a loss (yea right). Encouraged by martial autist Rory McD's video ("-i cant explain the feeling i get after a win" -Oh really? You cant?) Rockgroin proceeded to win his next 8 fights by KO and TKO. Somewhere there i started to have a real good time with the game, getting progression with my fighter who got noticable better after each fight. After that, Demian Maia happened. I steamrolled through 8 opponents and then getting Maia'd. Before the fight i got a video showing the grapplers and so on, Maia in this game is 98/100 submission and proceeded to submit me after 11 seconds. I was devastated, do i suck that bad in my ground game? Luckily Diaz got a quote in on the loading screen ("-Dont be scared, homie") which made me pick myself up and look ahead. Next fight, Josh Koscheck. This was a tough fight which i managed to win late in the second round by TKO after getting knocked down twice myself. After that i took on Jake Ellenberger and had the best executed fight so far. I rushed in, evaded a high kick and counterkicked him in the face so he got knocked down, i jumped on him and made a perfect transition and beat him with ground and pound after 14 seconds in the first round. Next up, Carlos Condit, gonna play more tomorrow, already sunk 6 hours into this game today. First impressions is that i love it. The first hour was as i said a bit rough and not very fun. I have only played my CAF so far, or well i kicked Gustafsson in the head as Jones in the tutorial but it doesnt count since Jones only knows how to duck. Some clunkiness aside, this is a really fun game. Ill give some more impressions after i try the versus mode with some friends.

Just did 10 fights in brown belt division online. 9/10 of my fights were vs. Jon Jones. Why do they have to assign numbered stats to the fighters... everyone just picks who is the best overall. Same problem in Undisputed 3.

Undisputed 3 at least let you see who your opponent chose. Occasionally, it'd even do you the favor of letting you exit the session without you having to restart the game (and go through 2 unreasonably long loading screens all over again)! I'm hating having to fight Barao and Cain all the time, but I haven't met many people who pick Jon Jones. It's super dumb that the champions are better than the rest of the field in every single area, but I definitely feel like every character has a fighting chance here, whereas you could get steamrolled by the top-tier fighters in Undisputed if you made just one wrong move. I got off to a decent start in the online game, managing to win juuust enough fights to win the title/advance in every season from white belt up to black belt (no title in brown belt, though). Then the black belt division exposed me badly, with 7 g'n'p-based shellackings in a row, and now I'm a middle-of-the-road brown belt. Sometimes I consider changing to the champion characters to see how that'd change things, but for now, it's still dumb fun just to brawl with Johny Hendricks as Korean Zombie.

So I turned thirty, had a relative give me 50 bucks on Amazon, tried to download the UFC game, needed more Microsoft points, bought some, needed an origin account, did that, tried to do some game face thing on my ipad, wouldn't work, tried it on my mac, wouldn't work, tried it on my pc, wouldn't work, website crashed, had to reset password, i think I'm having an existential fever dream, somehow was forced into a match as Jones, tried to quit, Dana White video wouldn't let me, eventually tried to make Gordon Ramsay character, ended up being Ronda Rousey getting Kimura'd by Meisha Tate. So yeah this is a game.

On the topic of a thing from like a page ago:Bubba Smith posted:The 2nd time the game sort of forces you to lose is after you've held the belt for like 15 defenses you'll notice some contender start beating your rear end, similar to how it was when you fought the champion for the first time, and if you choose to just let him win your Total Damage will nearly double. That's how the game forces you to retire so you don't go on a 50 fight winning streak, aka the game not having any real ending. Having just finished my career mode it turns out the total damage doubling is totally unavoidable no matter what you do. I became real good at megafitching half-guard first-round knockouts and got to ~35 fights with only 20-25% of my total damage meter full, the game threw a perfect-100s dude at me and despite fitching him in ninety seconds and eating no significant strikes my damage jumped up to 75% and then continued jumping every fight thereafter regardless of strikes taken. Despite only eating 5 or 6 significant strikes between fights 35 and 40 it still retired me with 100% damage at 40-0. So if you manage to survive the difficulty spikes it'll just off you anyway.

That's pretty dumb, in the THQ games and even EA MMA they just have you retire after a while. Fight Night even throws you a bunch of bad stylistic matchups around 40 fights and if you box really well you can still win fights until the game retires you at 60 fights or so under the pretense of the commission won't license you anymore.

Yeah, everyone seems to be at least viable with a skilled player. I'm not great, but I'm OK, I win about as much as I lose, and I tend to do best with Werdum and Carmouche, so it's not like the current champions are win-buttons. (Though I keep picking Forrest Griffin, mostly because he's endearingly doofy in the career mode videos, and I don't think I've won once with him.) I also kind of like the heavyweights. The pace of those matches is different than all the other divisions, because the guys gas so quickly and strikes seem to do more damage per hit. Every other class feels like it's quantity of hits, HW feels like it's quality, most of the time. Gaz-L fucked around with this message at 03:08 on Jun 26, 2014 |

Well, the career mode is bland as hell, the physics are incredibly wonky, the ground and pound is terrible, but this made the purchase worth it. Heavyweight Showtime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpDTTomda7s The more I play, the more I'm finding the sub controls to actually be pretty decent. I think it would be better with fewer steps, but it still provides a decent challenge without being impossible.

I somehow got someone with a gogoplata that only went through two stages, which seemed weird. Unlike the full armbar, which feels like it has a million. But yeah, it's a fairly sound minigame, and it seems to work pretty well in that some players have NO idea how to defend or do subs, some are like loving psychic wizards and others are OK and can get lucky. The late career stuff is silly too. Pascal Krauss apparently got bionic arms when challenging my guy for the title, because every jab was stunning me or knocking me down, it was so clearly the game going "OK, time to lose the belt, champ!".

AndyElusive posted:That sounds like some serious loving lame rear end bullshit right there. Well, at the point where you've gotten 40 fights, you'll also have completely maxed out your stats*, done everything there is to do, and fought everyone there is to fight, and you'll have watched all the fighters you know retire and get replaced by computer generated nobodies. It's lamer that your character doesn't get transferred into the active roster, and that you have to customize their stats and moves yourself in the menu-- but atleast that in itself is a good feature. * In fact, I had so many evolution points to spare at the end of my career, that I suspect that even by skipping all training sessions, you'll still have a max stat fighter at the end.

This mostly isn't correct, by the way. Eventually the game will start throwing people with maxed stats at you, but they do not have magical knockout power, and the sudden increase in damage only happens during your last five fights to force you to retire. I ended my career with 38-2, and both the fights I lost was near the beginning, with no significant increase in difficulty for any specific fight.

The game's only just come out, and the lack of a training mode means that there'll be a lot of learning on the go. I occasionally meet someone at black belt level who can't escape it when I have them against the cage, but I feel like it hardly even matters, since they can just hold block and nothing I throw at them will get through. Sure, I could win a decision by doing that for three rounds, but it's not super exciting. I also just found out yesterday that every character has 4-6 special traits, which you of course can't check out in ranked. Sure wish I'd known about that earlier!

Not really, and why should we have to guess in the first place, when they could have just left it in there? "Heavy-handed" or "kicks hard" are easy enough to figure out, but that still leaves a handful of other abilities that aren't super obvious: 2 of Big Nog's 3 abilities are stand-up related, whereas all 3 of Mir's relate to the ground; one Diaz brother recovers stamina by hitting his opponent and makes the submission system work faster for both players, whereas the other has the advancement prompt show up quicker and deals extra damage when rocked, etc. It's a pretty neat feature, it's just irritating to have to quit out of the online mode to go find out what extra abilities a fighter you haven't used before might have.

Not just the perks, it would be nice if we could see the stats during fighter select online. For example, although Mark Hunt has pretty much 100 power in both hands and feet, he has something like 53 hand speed, which is about as good as my new Tae Kwon Do fighter I just created for career mode.

Maybe they were anticipating all the "stand and bang" guys playing online and getting mad that the weird old fat guy they never heard of is the best character for that, so they gave him a poo poo rating for hand speed.

On top of the poor hand speed, they also gave him this humongous wind-up uppercut that literally takes like 5 seconds to get to the opponent. I've only landed it once or twice, and, disappointly, it didn't lead to instant knockouts. Seems like it ought to work like one of those Tekken supers, since you'd have to be playing criminally poorly to get hit by it.

I got to black belt with no relegations, but quickly realized I only got there because I'd been matched up very favorably (thank you, Joe SilvA.I.). Didn't have enough of a ground game to be even remotely competitive there, and didn't get out of the brown belt ranks for a couple of days. I've gotten the hang of it now, and just won my last 'season' in the black belt division, using mainly Nick Diaz and the Korean Zombie. I usually go for months without playing video games, and when I do, I don't really get hooked. For some reason the online part of the UFC games just hook the hell outta me.
