The last CAF of mine I used online was rated 87 overall. I have higher but I don't search for fights with CAF's anymore.

I just tried counter clockwise in a ranked match got a sub that I probably wouldn't have if I was button mashing.

Hmm, I was just going off my experience of trying to submit the CPU and it never worked when I did it counter clockwise. I'll have to try it against a human.

From my experience its only clockwise. Which sucks for me because I'm a lefty and would prefer to be able to spin it counter clockwise.

My preferred method is the button mashing. But your character needs to have a high str for it to work. So if you have low str but high sub offense, you need to rotate the right stick.

Man I love countering people's slams into a guillotine choke for a submission victory. It is so freaking satisfying.

Speaking of which, who is it in the commentary music that is asked by Joe Rogan whether he was worried when he was knocked down and how hurt he was? He responds by saying something along the lines of 'Oh, I wasn't hurt bad I was just trying to create a little drama'. I'd also like to know who he was against in that fight.

As for the Classic Fights, is there any other way to lock in an armbar than from full mount offense, postured up? Perhaps a reversal in a particular situation or something? I'm finding it tremendously difficult to get into mount against Matt Hughes with GSP.

That sounds pretty weird, did it still say there was a connection problem or anything?

No connection problem, the fight just stopped and it starting saving data.

I think the only two ways to get an arm bar is from mount or with BJJ open guard where you catch a punch.

Finally got into the fucking hall of fame. I ended up going 31-1 with 100k plus cred.

Sorry man, it was a typo.

I love playing this game against other people who know what they are doing and who aren't a dcer or spammer.

I like to stand up but I have absolutely no problems taking someone down to the ground and GnPing them or subbing them.

I hereby lay down an open challenge to anyone on this board to fight me in the game (Xbox 360 users) this weekend.

Just some insight, in case anyone wants to save themselves a whole lot of frustration...

When submitting or in submissions and button-mashing, you only have to hit one button. Hitting all four or however many you hit won't do you any better than just hitting one - in fact, it may do you worse.

Actually I can escape or execute submissions better when I hit multiple buttons.

I hate the submission victory classic fights because I can't submit the computer at all with "the shine". Maybe if I turned down the difficulty I could.

In my 20 so submissions online and however many I've gotten in single player, I've never once used the Shine to submit someone. I always tap the face buttons.

With my CAF's I can submit people no problem tapping the buttons, but I don't have that option when trying the classic fights where you have to win by submission.

My heavyweight's OV is 89

For my heavyweight, I got my str up first to max then started building the other two, then I maxed them out and let me str go down to 95.

I do think there should be a cap on overall if there is a CAF league. Anything higher than 94 (highest in the game) imo is stupid.

I swear I'm making a career out of fighting Chuck Liddell. I must be 8-0 against that guy.

And beating Frank Mir with Brock Lesnar on expert is a scientific impossibility.

I can do it:)

Glad to hear that a patch for the quitters is coming. Hopefully it gives you a fucking way to get out of the Muai Thai clinch. The single handed clinch isn't so bad, as I've found that you only need to flick the right stick up when they go to punch you, but if they sit there spamming knees, you're pretty much screwed. The Muai Thai clinch however, you're just screwed until they KO you or feel like letting go, it's bullshit.

No, you just need to work on your defense in the clinch.

Nope, in my last career on expert I only got one KO of the night. It was my retirement fight against Frank Mir. I KOed him in the first round halfway through with a left hook. It ended up getting me both KO of the night and fight of the night to give me the "Dude, where's my bonus check?" achievement. But then again, it is very very very rare for a fight of mine to go past the first round.

Is anyone else's fights constantly going to the ground? I'm like 24-2 and I have 17 submissions and 7 tkos all coming from the ground. either my opponent takes the fight to the ground where I then turn the tables on them or they go crazy and use up their stamina so I take them down for the easy submission.

Did you let yourself get gassed?

I hate all you bastards getting into the hall of fame >.<

Against the muy tai clinch I try to wait until he throws a regular knee instead of a whip knee (then flick the right stick down to catch it and take the person down) and block the head knee otherwise.
