Anyone have the deluxe edition?

Yupp, also on that note, this weeks 2 UT Premium Packs for deluxe edition now available. Should be in your inbox.

Edit: new patch is out but devs said it's solely to make Khabib Muslim again (not his exact words). Not sure if ye heard but he had a winning celebration pointing up (to God) that he and his fans felt was offensive.

D.Q

Loving the game. Playing through career on LW with a totally ground focused fighter. Beating everyone but keep falling at the last hurdle when I'm given a title fight. Cowboy has left me in a heap twice. Is there any disadvantage to just simming the training? It's a bit repetitive.

Never played a UFC game before, would it be worth my time getting this or are people so far ahead that I would getting constanly slapped around ?

You'll have to put a good few hours in on it to be competitive with the right mindset and training camp you could do it,buy it!

Started getting into my UT just there. One of my guys is 8-1 lightweight champ:D Think I'm gonna leave two guys and just focus on 3, is that a safe tactic or is there a reason I shouldn't do that? Anybody got any smart tactics for ultimate team or tips. Starting to get hooked on it. Great game mode:)

Zero-Cool

I'm using 4 fighters all at different weights playing a few fights with each at a time. I have a 5th fighter (my 2nd LW) but if i get a LW move, it's better to focus on 1 fighter and give the 2nd one the leftovers.

Is your psn the same as your boards name?

Cheers! Brothers and their friends on my profile now playing FIFA so if you get any messages off them it's not me :P

Well, I officially hate Ranked Online. Had my first go of it to get that trophy (use all featured fighters). Needless to say they were all **** except Rory. Lost 3 of the 5 as they were all using champs but the worst thing is how CRAP they all were. Spinning **** every where. I was countering all of it but barely doing any damage. They'd hit me with 1 shot and I'd get rocked. I was truly baffled how they couldn't finish me sooner.

Highlight was beating TJ with Gagnon, wrecked him in under a minute. I'm staying well away from that mode from now on. UT fights are 100 times better.

Simply Red

I have yet to successfully defend a takedown, cant seem to react quick enough

RossieMan

Lost my first fight because I can't get out of submissions. Fecking disaster.

I have grown frustrated playing ranked championship now. I'm not sure if it's because I'm in division 3 or whatever but anyone who is good on the ground beats me. They always go to the clinch and manage to get knee kicks to the head. How is it that they seem to easily escape my attempts but they get hits in easy?

Also defending a takedown is tough. Almost like you need to press R3 + Down before they attempt it. I react quick enough but they always get it. Where as when I try it my circular bar gets cancelled fast.

Paully D

Lads, how on earth do I defend when someone has mounted me and is pounding down fists/elbows on me? I seem to get beaten every single time from that position but there has to be a way out. Is it just trying to find a gap and timing it right before I press 'up' on the right stick to try and get them into my full guard? Or how do I protect my head?

I don't have a whole lot of time to dedicate to it but I am getting better overall. I'm now starting to be able to defend the transitions a bit better (though I'm still nowhere near good) which is a huge help.

It's a very good game IMO. The type of game where the greater amount of time you put into it, the better you'll be. Can't ask for much more than that really considering everything else is pretty spot on.

Zero-Cool

Are you on PS4 Paully? If so, as soon as someone gets you into mount, hold R1 and block 2 punches. This gives you max grapple advantage for quick transitions. Blocking anymore will have a bleedthrough effect and you will eventually get KO'd. So, block 2 and transition into half guard by holding R2 and left or right. You can then try an advanced escape (some fighters might not have it) by holding L1 and checking the direction for Getup, or move into full guard to get some control back.

A good practice is to escape to half guard, say to the left. You can almost guarantee the guy is gonna wanna get back in mount so just hold R2 and press right as soon as he makes a move (If you escaped to the left, he will have to go right back to mount). This should deny him giving you grapple advantage again to either get up, go to full guard or throw in a sub.

Obviously people can mix this up but if you keep getting caught in mount, it's a good strategy for escape. Just have to watch the gnp as it's deadly in this but I think it will be nerfed a bit in the next patch.

Started playing this today and find it really enjoyable, now my knowledge of UFC is tiny, but doing a career and while it takes a lot of getting used to its fun as

MarkY91

Played a ufc game for the first time today. My brother and I both did some career mode to get the basics first then played about 15 games in total against eachother.

Well....WHAT A GAME!! We've had it all from 1st round demolition KOs to going the 5 rounds not having any idea who was going on get the decision.

Im getting good at the actual fighting but my ground game is crap, I alcan get submissions and at best, I can break away from my opponent. Im off to watch some ufc 2 tips videos

So, do ye wanna kick off a tourney on PS4 next week? Keep it simple enough and then try a league after it to last a bit longer. Myself and Axwel were looking at the roster last night and fighters 90 and below seem like a good cap. Anyone over that might be a bit OP'd. Also, no legends ie Bas, Bruce Lee, Royce, etc. Maybe like last game, best of 3, each person picks a division and if it goes to a 3rd, you both use HW. Any other suggestions or ideas?

If that sounds okay, you can post here if you want in and then this weekend or early next week, I can enter names into a random tool online to match up and then you have 3-4 days to arrange a time to fight each other as everyone is on at different times.

Too late to enter?

I'm fairly crap so I'll be gone soon anyways lol

Not at all man, hopefully kicking it off this week, will put together the names of who's in so far and post something later.

What's your PSN name?

Zero-Cool

Well lads, could i get a quick head count of who's in for the PS4 tourney that should be kicking off this week? So far we have 7 people so want to check again see if we can get a few more. Can you confirm your PSN name as well. Sound.

jarain

I'd be up for it. PSN Maxiburke

Zero-Cool

8 so far so will give it another night to see if anyone else wants in. If not, will make random beackets tomorrow for the 1st round.

Martypants1

Worse is the lads who can do the quick fire body shot combos. Impossible to step back away from them.

Zero-Cool

Right, I put the names above into a tourney random generator site and it gave the 1st round fights as below.

Quarter Finals:
(A) IrishWolverine (Axwell) vs MarkLogan-91 (marky91)

(B) Sheehy83 (Zero-Cool) vs The Notorious77 (Gamebred)

(C) RebelSouls1974 (Rebelsoul) vs Mr_Blobby999 (Mr Blobby)

(D) KaptinofwAr121 (Martyos121) vs Maxiburke (jarain)

Semi Finals:
Winner of (A) vs Winner of (B)
Winner of (C) vs Winner of (D)

RULES
Each fight will be best of 3. Each fighter takes a turn at choosing a weight class. If it goes to a 3rd fight, CM Punk at Welterweight must be used by both fighters.

You can only select fighters rated at 90 or below. You CANNOT useMike Tyson, Bruce Lee (even though he's rated 89 at WW, ain't nobody got time for that) or any fighters you have created. All other legends, Bas, CroCop, etc are okay as long as they are 90 or below.

The Quarter Finals fights should be completed by Sunday 3rd of April. This will give people enough time in case they can't get online until the weekend. If you need more time, no prob, just post up here. You can arrange a time with your opponent that suits both of you through the PS4 Message group, PM, or on here.

Post here when your fights are done with the results and we will get ready for the Semi's when everyone's ready.

Good Luck!

MrStuffins

I'll be up for the next one of these. I'm away for the week so no access to the PS4 but these tournies are always great craic.

D.Q

Same as myself. Can't really commit to it at this time, but defo up for the next one. Azzlejazzle is the psn name if anyone fancies adding me for the odd scrap.

Axwell

I don't care for this fixture nonsense. The closer the fight comes - every time, I say it over and over - the face becomes blank. There is no face. It's just blank and a fresh body type. The psn id of my opponent doesn't matter...:D

*prepares to get ko'ed in his first fight and thats the end of that*

Zero-Cool

Don't wanna scare anyone but i just got the Work Ethic trophy (get A in all skill challenges) while listening to Rocky music. This one is a lock lads.

Only 3 trophies left and they are all for Ultimate Team. Division 2 isn't as fun as division 1, especially reading on the official forum how the top ranked guys delete their fighters at the end of div 2, start a new fighter with all the old stats and wreck house in div 1 and 2 again, just to keep their record intact. Some people I'm coming across are obviously much higher rated.

I'm in a state of zen myself,there is no opponent your against yourself in there,I will set traps for Zero-Cool,

I will be a ghost in there. He will think that I'm there and then I'm not there. He will think that I'm not there and then I'll be there. This will prove my point. I am number one.

I feel that ZeroCool like many individuals in the game are stuck in their routine, in the same pattern. They exit, enter, hit, grapple the same. It's routine, it's repetition. I feel routine will close off your mind and lock the frame. It is predictable, that's where I feel his weakness lies.

I look forward to defending my title but, i am beginning to worry that people have not realised the Pit they have fallen into. I worry that you people think you can claim the title from me by simple climbing the ladder out.

But i warn you...

Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some, given a chance to climb, they refuse. They cling to injuries, or the gods, or love. Illusions. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is... Its all you will ever have!

Remember the time you defended it....nah me neither, ya vacated it when ya sold the game and dropped out of the tourneys. You start the climb at the bottom like everyone else. I even heard you were in a match fixing scandal with Sheehy at UFC Dublin.

New Live Event has kicked off, will finish in 5 days. It's a fantasy event which is a great idea "New School vs Old School"

Bones vs Lidell
Robbie vs GSP
BJ Penn vs Lentz
Forest vs Rumble
Coleman vs Lewis

5000 points gets you the top prize of ALL the Move of the Night cards that will become available after the event. That is a pretty epic prize for your UT team but will be hard to get.

Gonna be very hard to call as you note have to pick the round as well.

I'm gonna go with Bones, GSP, BJ, Rumble and Coleman.

I will obliterate you, my friend

Zero-Cool

For the tournament, if it goes to a 3rd fight, you will both use CM Punk at Welterweight.

I have updated the post with all tourney details now. Made this change as the Heavyweight division might be someone's specialty and that shouldn't be a factor in a deciding fight.

If it goes to a 3rd fight, the fairest thing to do is have ye both play the same person who is shyte all round, ie. CM Punk. That way, it will be fair and square on who gets through to the next round.

What's your PSN, I'll add you to our PS4 Group message. We have 16 at the moment so should get a good one going if we get through the 1st one quick enough. I'd say most first round fights will kick off at the weekend and the rest will go fairly quickly then.
