Only just started the career mode today... Holy god it's boring. Very poor, for a next gen big title.

Axwell I thought your wan was some guest on his show. I looked it up and she is actually his girlfriend :O That Bobby Lee looks very familiar (in a non racist way) can't picture where though.

Dulux, yupp. TUF was a good idea but goes to shyte after that. EA MMA had the best career so far and that was only kept good by having El Guapo as your coach. The next game needs a serious overhaul career wise.

Everyone else, fancy starting the next tourney on PS4? BUFC 2 - No Way Out

Yeah count me in (PSN markcahill1985), Im around all next week anyways for a few games

Zero-Cool

Cool, okay whoever wants in, post here with your PSN username so people can add you. Hopefully we can get at least 8 people.

Axwell put forward the idea of just using one weight division for this tourney, what do people think? I think it would be good to make the tourney's feel a bit different instead of just random weight divisions. Saying that, some divisions will only have the same fighters against each other as when you can only pick fighters 93 rating and under, there guys a lot of people would pick.

Excellent idea. Will maintain interest for subsequent tourneys. But would this rule out the womens bw division as there are so few fighters in it?

Also how about a stipulation that you must pick 3 different fighters in each match? Or that whoever wins a match MUST change fighters for the next match. The loser of each match may choose the same fighter as before if they wish. We used to do this in a Fight Night Champion tourney I was involved in. Really levelled the playing field.

Just automatically put me down for any tournaments, you know im in!

As regards picks etc I dont think it really matters if there is only a few fighters people will pick or we use the same fighters as each other. I think even in the bigger divisions it still holds through. Everyone has their favourites and then there is a lot of dead weight that no one every picks unless just having a few friendly rounds with lads on here.

I'm still hurting after my semi final defeat...

Everyone just beat Blobby & Sheehy..

dulux99

Was doing a fight with Ross Pearson earlier, when Joe Rogan starts to wax lyrically about him, and how he's one of the best young prospects in the sport. He then references Pearsons "last fight with Aaron Riley"......which was five years ago :pac: they really half arsed a lot of this game

Zero-Cool

Is Joe even in the game (character model)? I know Goldie is and tweeted a pic of himself, never heard Joe say anything about it. Agreed though the commentary is very lazy, I really get the feeling Joe wasn't bothered his arse. Could be completely wrong but that's the feeling I got anyway.

Good man! We have 8 people so will close off the entries. I used a random generator to pick weight division And BUFC 2 will be a Bantamweight tourney.

place #1: Bw
place #2: Fw
place #3: M
place #4: Lhw
place #5: Lw
place #6: Hw
place #7: Wimmins
place #8: Ww

Did a draw for the 1st round fights and they are as follows.

Sequence=1
Draw date: 2014-08-12 23:09:27

Match #1
place #1: Markcahill1985
place #2: Sheehy83

Match #2

place #2: Asot

Match #3
place #1: Axwell
place #2: Jarain

Match #4
place #1: Martyos121
place #2: Mr blobby


Fights will be best of 3, ye can arrange a time between yourselves but would be good to have the 1st round finished by friday night?

Also are we doing the rule where you have to use a diffferent fighter every fight? Might make things more interesting.

Zero-Cool

Anyone get to play their fights yet? Mark, you around tonight for a scrap?

I forgot that weight divisions online are clumped together, Can you even pick BW? I forget.

Axwell

I will be on tonight to play mine.

Women are bantamweight, mens not directly but some of the fighters are listed as that weight. Maybe just go with women this time for handiness?

Yeah, never thought how the Weights get so mixed up, some fighters are in 3 weight divisions. Okay, Wimmins it is so for this tourney, only fighters rated 93 and under and you have to use a different fighter every fight, make things interesting. If this turns out to be shyte, we can go back to the old tourney format.

ASOT

I wont be able to play my fight lads because im down in cork with my cousin for his fight on the Siam Warriors card tomorrow! Sorry about that i completely forgot it was this weekend. So John gets a bye.

I'll add you when I get in.

Axwell won our fight over the weekend 2-1 after an epic 5th round knockout in the decider...

Mr Blobby

I beat Martyos121.

First fight was Vitor vs Hendo.
He rocked me pretty good in the 1st round but I ended up KO'ing him in the 2nd after he started to gass,

2nd fight was Davis vs Zingano.
Very similar to our first fight only that I had beat Davis up pretty bad and then went in for the kill in the 3rd. Won via KO.


So... Who wants to lose next?

Axwell

Vitor and Hendo may be on the TRT but they arent women last time i looked

Yeah I was thinking it was a women's tourney, but blobby selected LHW so I just went along with it. Lost both fights so it doesn't really matter anyways.

Zero-Cool

Yeah this tourney has gone a bit bonkers, I think the next one should have some definite rules in place at the start, simpler the better.

New patch rumoured to be coming soon. All I've heard so far is you will be able to taunt at will, looking forward to seeing the other changes.

Markcahill1985, you still up for our fight?

Match #1

Hey man no prob, I should be on tonight around 8 so will send me an invite if you see me on, I'll do the same. The tourney rules have changed lightly. Only picking Women and you have to use a different fighter in each fight, best of 3.

Zero-Cool

EA UFC Patch notes

Well worth a read guys, the ground game is being tuned heavily in the next patch, looks like it's going to be a game-changer. About time as well, there are some big exploits in it at the moment.

Jaysus fair play that dev, that's some amount of detail! The new ground game will be very interesting to test out.

  - Fixed an issue with Cage Clinch Break denial inputs.

  - Fixed an issue with Mat damage
  - Changed Antônio Rogério Nogueira’s stance to southpaw
  - Various replay fixes

EDIT: A dev has cleared up how to catch a kick:

To catch a kick, you need to successfully parry a kick to the head or body when your opponent has low stamina or low leg health, where low for stamina is roughly 50%, and low for leg health is roughly 25%. I don't have the exact numbers with me as I'm at home, but that's the right ballpark.

Once you've caught the leg, to take your opponent down, keep holding the parry face button.

To let go of the leg, let go of the parry face button as soon as you see the catch kick animation start.

If you counter punch after letting go of the leg, you get the same counter punch bonus you get after a parry.

martyos121

That's an excellent patch. Surprised EA haven't charged us a fiver for it.

Zero-Cool

Apparently HW's are faster as well. Looking forward to testing it out tonight. I'd say they were the least used division because of their slowness.

Zero-Cool

HW's definitely faster and more fun to play with. Catching kicks is brilliant, Fair Play EA on the last 2 patches! However, on my first fight last night, my R2 button broke and gets stuck half way so my guy just keeps defending making the game highly unplayable. I looked up some vids and loads of people have the exact same problem. You can fix the spring but reading youtube comments, most people have either broken the hinge or spring when first opening it.

Gonna ring Sony this morning before opening it see what they say and hope my dogs tooth marks on the controller don't void the warranty!

If I don't manage a fix today, Axwell will get a buy into the next round

Zero-Cool

Congrats Axwell you shnake, you're in the final!

I have to send my controller back to Sony, will take about 2 weeks and will possibly be charged if they think the dogs teeth marks caused the problem.

New patches out for both EA UFC and the last of us an all. Guess Ill go read a book or something

Mr Blobby

I've still to do my semi final fight. We were both ready a few days ago, but then Sony had a DDoS attack and everything went down :pac:
