[Ruki]

I was just thinking the other day that there wasn't a new game.

...so, a new submission system? Again?

I will possibly get it, but not right away. Last year was such a pain in the ass (career mode was a joke, the online was laggy as fuck, and the team camps? Couldn;t even use them)

[9 to 5]

Yeah, I won't be fooled again to pay for this.

[TKz]

UFC 2009 was a fucking great game. I have no idea how they turned it into such a shitfest in 2010. Hopefully they get back to the good of 2009 but with a lot better career and CAF.

[Kaney]

Yeah, the last one was boring as fuck.

[OctoberRaven]

Sounds a lot like EAMMA influencing them.

Interested, but I hope to fuck that they allow custom entrance music.

[Colly]

I want triple threat matches. Do that and I'm buying it.

[OctoberRaven]

I want triple threat matches. Do that and I'm buying it.

No triple threat matches, but barbed wire and ladder matches being added in.

[gunnar hendershow]

If they can get the submission system right and fix what they messed up with in 2010 then I'm buying. Will have to wait for early reactions to the game before I dish out hard-earned cash for it though.

[DavidMarrio]

2009 was a great game, some of the stuff they added for 2010 was good but others just ruined it. Hopefully they'll have looked at EA MMA which I thought was a good game and just used some of the stuff they've done and well sort out the stuff they ruined.

2009's success was its downfall really they thought they could dish out a yearly franchise and you can't do that until you've gotten the game to a good standard. Not going to say I won't get it cause its way too early to tell hopefully over the next couple of months more details will come out and a demo before the game is released.

[Toe]

Take the submission system from EA MMA and change the career mode, and I will be happy.

[Ruki]

What was the submission system in that one again? I can't remember...but I know I sucked at trying to choke people out.

[Toe]

For the arm and leg submissions, you tapped buttons to fill the meter or stop your opponent from filling the meter. You couldn't just mash buttons though, because you would run out of stamina and be reversed if you did.

[OctoberRaven]

Choking people out was kind of like the struggle submissions in SvR in that there was a 'sweet spot' to find.

I hope we get Strikeforce guys at least as DLC. If only because I'd get infinite amusement out of murdering BJ Penn as Shinya Aoki.

Also, I hope THQ gives us Roy Nelson body types for edited fighters.

[tristy]

I do wonder what this means for Strikeforce fighters, since I assume EA MMA 2 won't be happening. Maybe just the biggest of the big will appear in the game? I mean, an upcoming PPV has a superfight between Diaz and GSP, I wouldn't be surprised if people like Fedor, Overeem, etc. are in.

Then again, I wouldn't exactly be surprised if they weren't, either. Dana obviously bought them to limit the success of a EA sequel

[OctoberRaven]

If Dana White has any say, Fedor will be the Glass Joe of Undisputed 3.

[gunnar hendershow]

Speaking of Strikeforce. Think we can get some tournaments in this one?

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Thought I'd revive this with the game about a month and a half away (due in Febuary).

Submission system in there, I'll wait till I play it to judge it I guess.

Great additions here, soccer kicks and stomps? (Y)

As usual, really looking forward to this. I didn't have a problem with '10 like some seemed to (though didn't get as much play time out of it as '09). Apparently spamming this time around is a much harder too, so online may be better, rather than some just spamming attack nonstop.

[ROC]

I might play just for the dropping of stat decay alone. By far the most annoying aspect of UFC 2010.

[apsham]

So I am thinking that the really authentic Pride entrances, ring, rules, etc. just sold it for me for certain.
