Well thanks to the Reebok deal your choice of walkout gear is severely limited anyway :pac:

It has been a long time since I played the first game, but I've no real complaints about the loading times this time around. Loading the main menu from launch is maybe a little slow, but flicking through menus and going into fights isn't bad IMO.

I think it took me 20/25 mins to download last night .

MrStuffins

My copy will have been dropped down by Parcel Motel by the time that downloads for you Blobby!

Mr Blobby

That's it mock away lads... I don't mind.
All you're doing is fueling my bloodlust. I was gonna finish you all quick... But not now!

Download started. 2 hours so should easily have it downloaded by midnight

Got an 879mb patch today, there didn't seem to be a day 1 patch so this must be it, just a heads up for ye.

Mr Blobby

4gb left and only now do I realise you can play the last round of the Lawley v McDonald fight.

Gamebred

Is this available tonight at 12 online?

Really enjoying Ultimate Team. I made a bjj specialist to counter the vast majority who make strikers. I'm 5-2, submissions giving me all of my victories to date. Had an epic match against some chap, I reckon I would have had it on decision as I was wrestle****ing him for the majority but he ko'd me with 14 seconds left in the last

Zero-Cool

Apparently boxers are a bit overpowered with the highest chin and body rating meaning they are hard to finish and can finish you easy but I'm the same as you pudsey, gonna make a bjj guy and **** **** up on the ground.

Anyone getting good results from gameface?

Sound marty, its allowing me download patch 1.03 now, save me doing it tonight. Day 1 patch and even the 2nd patch was part of the euro digital version already so 3rd patch before the release. Looks like the devs will be constantly working on it. They made HUGE improvements to the first game so no surprise anyway.

Speaking of, one of the devs said they have a few surprises for post launch. Will be interesting to see what they have planned.

Edit: Jaysus patch 3 is 880mb. Wonder what changes are in it.

Simply Red

Chanced argos on the way home today but no joy

What do you guys recommend I do when my game goes live at 12? Practice and get to grips with the game? Start a career mode to get to grips? Or get an UT going straight away?

I'll definitely give it a look How do I join the UFC2 boards community or what is it ye have set up? Although it'll be a while before I give anyone a game, haven't played it yet :P

What's your psn? Handy thing about playing people on here, if you send a message first or are on chat, you can ask if anyone is up for training to practice ground, clinch etc. Practice against ai is shyte and you can come up against absolute killers online so handy having someone friendly who will take the fight wherever so you can try moves.

At 12 i was gonna get straight into career but now i might try live event as new fighters you make are always crap til you improve them.

Have ya tried pausing the download and continuing it again? Dont just settle for or assume the speed its at is the fastest, PSN is a bit dodgy like that. You can pause and restart it and all of a sudden the time left can drop dramatically.

Did you play the previous version? If so, go to practice and just do the ground tutorials. It's completely different, but everything else should feel similar. After that, live event mode or just fight now is a good idea to get to grips with stuff. In UT, you can fight the CPU to build your character before you take him online.
