DeadlyDirk Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 i'm on my second CAF, a lightweight submission guy named Devon "Dirty" Dunn (what can i say, i'm a fan of alliteration). went 15-0 before signing to ufc, and had a great back-and-forth fight against gomi before he caught me with a counter hook late in the 3rd for a KO. guess my 65 rated strike defense won't work as well in the ufc lol I just started my second as well, (Marcelo 'The Assasin' Vilanova) jumped a bit earlier than you though and got my first UFC fight at 9-0 also against Gomi, very back and forth affair but fortunately it was me who got the late knockout win with about 9 seconds left on the clock, probably would have lost the decision from previous experience as well. There is definitely a massive step up in competition from the WFA to UFC. I remember my very first career when I went into the UFC at 4-0 and promptly restarted it after taking some severe beatings when I was about 60 overall lol.

I remember my very first career when I went into the UFC at 4-0 and promptly restarted it after taking some severe beatings when I was about 60 overall lol. he stuffed like 5 of my takedowns in the first round and my guy's cardio isn't that high, so i was kinda screwed since this one's primarily a sub fighter and he didn't have enough juice to finish a sub after that. i think my main problem was that i kept trying to finish via americana from the salaverry position (since i had just unlocked that move), instead of just trying to win, so i wasted a lot of time/energy doing that. i think i had him rocked on the ground twice, but didn't go for subs or the finish because i wanted that americana. and yeah, if you sign with ufc before you have at least like 8 fights you're totally screwed. with my first CAF i think i signed after about 10 fights, but this time i wanted to see if they would eventually give me a champ vs champ fight, but they never did and i got tired of smashing cans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face Kicker Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 haven't faced aldo yet. my toughest so far was anderson, and he was way tougher than bones. i didn't get a chance to fight any other current champs yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did manage to get a few leg kick TKO's though finally, the stepping leg kicks seemed to work the best. My first guy was mainly a ground guy who went for submissions, found it pretty satisfying when you get the sub win, especially if you can submit anyone decent, but judging from my second career, a striker with ground and pound seems a hell of a lot easier.

Faber , can't take him down or wear him out cause his TDD is shit high and his BJJ is mental , his cardio is mental and so is his speed and footwork and his striking is super quick especially counters :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruz is harder tbh can't strike with him and he always does the random TD. Ohh yeah Aldo, it's like facing someone you absoulutly can't fight in the stand-up game b/c his punches and kicks are so powerful, you can't sub him, it's a bitch to get him dow, and he doesn't wear out. My only way was to attempt thousands of Td's and Gnp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toejam98 Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Reading your comments it looks like your playing on simulation right? And it seems like theres a lot more Decisions which is much more realistic. But you still fight the same guys over and over, thats a bit dissapointing!! Still not sold if i should get the game or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I come out with a flying knee almost every round with my CAF or anyone that has one, rarely lands lol, but I actually got a straight knockout with one yesterday which landed perfectly, was the start of the second round though so he'd taken a fair bit of damage already. I stopped touching gloves with the AI, it seems if you're a moment too late they start swinging at you anyway so I say let them have it. I did like to use your method a lot in the last game though online, especially with people like Fitch when they are just expecting you to run for the takedown, and instead you start swinging like an animal.

There is a huge downside though,you get hit with some mean counters. subs are hard unless rocked i agreee and running out like that is a bitch move. i touch gloves like a real man. also my fastest is 10 sec ko and a 25 sec sub . also my fav fight was a title fight vs cruz. i got my ass kicked for 5 rounds (first time on ultimate)i am sitting there getting out striked out grappled. then like 30 second left he takes me down. i think to myself , " shit he's gonna grind it out", then i hear the clappers and get up. Cruz comes in to throw a punch and boom head kick, he fell down like a sack of potatoes. i wait for the annoucements and it sayes 4:59 ko..

Face Kicker Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i was determined to beat BJ Penn with my CAF, and needed to quit the game/reload it like 5 times in order to do it (first time i was matched up with him, and he's 41 so i wanted to make sure i beat him before he retired ). we had some pretty epic battles! the best one was totally back-n-forth, with both of us getting knocked down multiple times, and both getting saved by the bell during a submission once. in the 5th round he even got me rocked in full mount but i was able to escape, and then i dropped him for a 4th time (dropped 4 times, but never rocked!) with a big counter left hook with about a minute left in the fight. he quickly stood up and i charged in with a 3 punch combo, but he swayed away perfectly and nailed me on the button with a huge counter-uppercut that put me out cold with 19 seconds left in the fight, and i nearly threw my controller across the room lol. if i had played it safe i'm comfortable that i would have won the decision. in all the fights he didn't give me much trouble with the standup, but every time it went to the ground he'd end up reversing me at some point (mostly with that rubber guard reversal to full mount) and usually getting a GNP finish in the 3rd or 4th round. i finally ended up beating him by using hit-n-run tactics and trying to gas him out over the first two rounds with body/leg strikes, knees to the legs and body in the clinch, and some clinch slams/throws (followed by LNP until a standup, to avoid reversals), and then i KO'd him in the third with a counter headkick. it was extremely satisfying.

Guest Posted February 28, 2012 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 i hate struve........he always goes for takedowns and his limbs are so damn big and also spams subs. it's fucking hard to hit also b/c of his height Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face Kicker Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 yeah i can imagine. does he cut super easy though? i have yet to finish a fight via cuts, and i've only seen the dr. called to look at a cut once (which was like 1 minute into the first round after cutting the other guy open with my first punch and hitting him a few more times with strong counters). and several times i've TRIED to win via cut, by focusing on the same spot and backing off every time they get rocked or knocked down, but i've always ended up KO'ing them by accident before it happens. i did get the achievement for winning via soccer kick KO yesterday though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caleb613 Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 i haven't fought him yet, but you can prob leg kick him for the first round to take care of that TDD/footwork. tried that and hes way to fast! he lands some nice counters and grabs your leg for takedowns finally caught him up in a 47-46 46-47 47-46 SD for the title though ) lay n pray rd 1 & 2 , lost round 3&4 and rd 5 was a sftf round!

DeadlyDirk Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 I like the general game play but it's so hard to find a reasonable game online. It takes forever to find any kind of fight and when you do they go straight for a Super CAF or the top guy in the division and just shoot for takedowns and spam GnP. Yeh you can stop it but it gets old pretty fast playing against the same guys and the same tactics. I do enjoy offline mode but once you've been through a few careers there's little replay value I find. I'll probably pick it back up in a few weeks and do some of the Ultimate Fights or something.
