Opponents basically pretend that nothing happened and walk through said attacks. Superman punches, spinning back kicks and basic right hooks can be clearly seen landing but yet they do not register with the game. It is very glitchy at times.Īnother teething problem from the new KO physics comes with the hit detection, which at times can be very questionable. If both fighters throw spinning kicks, it can lead to one of them landing on their backside only to magically float back up onto their feet in an instant. In real life, this is an absolute definitive finish to a fight, however in UFC 2 – not so much.Īt times, fighters can feel very ragdoll-like. The best example would be Edson Barboza’s spectacular wheel kick KO of Terry Etim: In reality, these fights would be stopped instantly by the referee – not in EA Sports’ universe. However, there are plenty of times when you think you have landed a spectacular KO, only for your opponent to magically survive (and on multiple occasions in one fight!). Seeing your opponent crumple into a heap or fly across the octagon (ala Hendricks knocking out Kampmann) is a real thrill.
If you are lucky enough to land an actual knock out, it is absolutely satisfying. The new knockout physics system EA Canada have developed is both a gift and a curse.
No matter how many Rumble Johnson-like haymakers you land or how many Anderson Silva-esque flying knees you connect with, your opponent will almost always make an absolutely ridiculous recovery ( is normal!). The health indicators make a return, showing players which varying degrees of damage have been inflicted on specific body parts. However, the health indicator may seem rather redundant as fighters can transform into terminators. However, it may remove the need for some tactical thinking in terms of managing your gas tank and how you are going to use your next attack. Fans need to work really hard in this game to experience sea-level Cain. This will somewhat appease the button mashers out there and make the game more enjoyable for some. Stamina has been altered too, with fighters now having more generous gas tanks. However, the increase of speed in the game play is completely unnecessary and this is where the gameplay begins to take a step back from the 2014 title. Obviously as stamina depletes, these attacks slow down considerably. No matter the weight class, fighters will throw winding overhand right hooks and powerful roundhouse kicks to the head at frightening pace. This is where the game begins to feel very unrealistic.

The latter can be viewed in its full glory during replays as you can see drops of blood and sweat fly across the octagon as every punch, kick, and elbow are delivered in devastating fashion. Now EA Sports have managed to slightly improve on this in UFC 2 with improved character models, lighting and blood effects. In UFC 1, the graphical detail looked spectacular on the consoles. Let’s start with one of the biggest positives of the game which is the graphics.
One would assume that after taking two years to improve and refine an already solid foundation that we would now have a new and improved version of the aforementioned EA Sports UFC. Jump to 2016, and now EA Sports have released the follow up in the also-aptly named EA Sports UFC 2. 2014 saw the release of EA Sports’ first ever UFC title in the aptly named EA Sports UFC. It was generally considered a good, solid MMA video game with very impressive graphics.
