Once you begin loading up the match you will get random game tips and fighter quotes to keep you busy before Bruce Buffer announces the two fighters.Д®A Sports UFC took great care in making sure the feel of a real UFC fight was captured. Once you choose a fighter then you can see the match settings (for the demo they are locked) which are: Difficulty, Match type, Round Length and Venue. Jon Jones is an overall 97 while Gustafsson is an overall 94, although Jon Jones feels a bit more overpowering when being used.

In the demo you can choose either reigning light heavyweight champion Jon Jones (19-1-0) or Alexander Gustafsson (16-2-0) and fight for three rounds. Where the demo really moved into uncharted area is with submissions (they compose of initiated, guarded and completed), which are totally different than any other title to date. And if you played the previous EA Sports MMA title, youвЂ™ll be familiar with the stamina gauge and conserving energy to not get gassed. The good news is that if you had played previous versions of UFC Undisputed, the controls will feel familiar to you and you can get by pretty quickly. This is a lot to remember in a short time for a novice player. The demo opens up with a quick tutorial that takes you through the basics of striking, modified striking, defending, takedowns, transitions and submissions. I have been able to cause cuts over eyebrows, on cheeks, and bruise a fighterвЂ™s legs and abdomen. FightersвЂ™ cuts will get worse as they take more damage and bruises will become more visible as the match goes on. No two fights are ever the same and cuts, bleeding and bruising are all realistically developed during a fight. EA Sports UFC uses the Ignite engine and really showcases what it is capable of. This is one of the best looking sports/fighting games made to date.

So how do things fair so far judging by the demo? In one word, fantastic. Enter Dana White and EA, two parties that, at one time, were foes and are now holding hands to bring you the next installment of next generation cage fighting. When THQ went under, I was hugely concerned that my beloved UFC franchise would be kicked to the curb and relegated to the bargain, but luckily a major player stepped up and acquired the franchise.
