MMA HQ - Mixed Martial Arts News and Analysis

i wouldnt doubt if they made it so you can only use half of the fighter in the start and you have to unlock more as you go on, a lot of games are like this (Fight Night R3 is one of them) it gives more reason to keep playing the game if you can only use lower level fighters to start off with. like if you and your buddy wanna have Chuck vs. Wand you will have to work your way up and beat them in career mode first. also have the game start with only the Hardrock cafe as your venue and eventually unlock the O2 arena, MGM Grand, and the Bell center. also a president mode would be cool (like EA’s hockey games) where you have to make matches, decide concession prices, negotiate contracts, and try to get the biggest live gate and most p.p.v. buys.

RJ as you know, games are never as good as they could be, theyre as they can do in the time they have. Theyre taking over 2 years on this game, so they are investing alot into it, but as far as development time goes, 2 years isnt very long.

I remember years back when they were trying to make the perfect RPG game using player input and suggestions. It ended up being like 6 years before the game was finished! by that time, the graphics were out of date, the engine was obsolete and there were so many better things on the horizon.

In the end the game flopped and the dev. company went under.

yeah no doubt, no matter how good a game is there is always something they could have done better. im not all that hard to please anyways, contrary to popular opinion i did like the old UFC games. me and my buddy played Tapout 2 so much we got to the point we turn off time limits and rounds and we would have like hour long fights and for most of the fight nether of us had any power left and it would come down to who made the first mistake lol. Marco Ruas fought Kevin Randleman for an hour and forty minutes one time only to have Ruas KO Randleman with a jab, now thats MMA lol.

im with you 100% bro, i loved the old mma games too, Pride was good, UFC sudden impact on ps 2 was definately the best.

an hour 40 min?? lol thats ridiculous man, i would have submitted your *** long time ago hehe.

no way man submissions were damn near impossible we were both way to good at reversals lol the only reason we ever hit the ground was in hopes of catching him with some ground’n'pound but even that get reversed a lot lol

There were a few holds that when you reverse it the opponent is forced to give up his back. I think it was the scarf hold and one of the leglocks.

I know you mean though about reversing submissions back and forth hehe thats the most fun part where it gets hectic, but an hour 40 min? lol nah man i never had a match for more than 10 min tops.

it be crazy if they had all those clinch positions, i hope there is atleast 1 clinch position this time around, because its a very common position so i dont know why they never implemented it in the previous games.

The striking is gonna be there for sure, like all the previous games, i think thats the easy part hehe.

yeah man a clinch game could be a very big selling point, imagine fighting for underhooks and your opponent leaves him self open and you tag him with a nice inside elbow and drop him. with the use of the shoulder buttons combined with the sticks there is so many possibilities eg. hold left trigger and use right stick to fight for hooks and hold right trigger and the right stick to use your legs for a trip, or in the clinch hold left bumper and right stick for for short elbows and punches and right bumper for knees. same idea for the ground work, different buttons held plus moving a stick to get different result. that also frees up the A,B,X, and Y buttons for things like blocking, grabbing, ducking, and stance. man i gotta stop speculating about how this game will be or else i might end up disappointed when the game comes out lol.

OH SWEET JEEZUS! Gary Busey laughing at the end, wholey f*ck i almost peed myself lol.

lol that guy is legitimately nuts, you cant fake that man hehe

did you ever see that show he had for awhile? it was called “I’m with Busey” it was pretty much him going around abusing people lol it was a crazy show.
