The mean score it's looking too great though, I'd always ignore a sole bad review, but when most of them are giving disappointing scores something is wrong.

Wow it sounds really lacking in modes. From that Videogamer review:
EA Sports UFC lacks any modes outside the basics: Fight Now, Online and Career Mode, plus some more detailed tutorial offerings. Fans expect more, and UFC ‘Round 2’ should include some extras like tournaments and title fights. It should also allow us to choose whether we include fighter’s entrances in Fight Now - currently this just doesn't happen - or want to put the belt on the line for added pressure.

This may be a based on a real world, highly competitive sport, but it’s still a game. More modes are needed to keep players interested in the roster at their disposal.

Pride mode will be a big miss for me too.

I want to know if the game is decent online. Rather than there being an exploit like every EA game online.

I was reading impressions from folk on GAF that have it. Sounds like there's a lot of out-of-character nonsense like Nick Diaz doing constant spin kicks and gooseberry fool like that.

I think EA have laid some great foundations here (reminds me of FIFA 07 and PES 14), but it's clearly not the finished article yet, hopefully they'll have a follow up next year.

Everyone has the same movesets, its like all the fighters are just palette swops. I watched a video of JDV Vs Roy Nelson, and Nelson was doing strawberry floating cartwheel kicks and gooseberry fool :lol:

strawberry floating hell he'd die trying to do that in real life :lol:

The motion blur annoys me, presumably they've used it to mask the fact it's 30fps. It's odd that they they didn't manage to get 60fps (on the PS4 at least) given the type of game it is. There isn't really anything big going on visually other than the character models of the fighter and the ref.

Can anyone tell me it it still takes fecking ages to navigate through the menus etc?

I wanted to enjoy the last game, but it felt so sluggish going through the career menus that it seemed to take 10 mins to have 1 fight (9 minutes Menu System, 1 minute fight)

also, Is this going to come to the PC?

I don't think anyone has it yet, only dispatched for most folk today.

I think it's console only.

Yeah it's console only. EA don't do sports games on PC. Only Fifa is the exception as it sells well in run down areas where consoles are a rarity.

The menus navigation is pretty nice and fast.

The suplex wrestling moves though :dread:

I think I finally have got to grips with the controls. Yeah this isn't perfect but it's still a good time.

No Scottish hometowns. I can see why with all the stars we have but still. Dublin it is then.

Do you need the PS4 camera for game face or can you still just upload photos to the website?

How do you get out from under full mount? Nearly lost because it kept flipping from being on my back and front instead of escaping.

Ah you have to hammer l3
