Things they need to add...
Southpaw stance
Fighting off the cage
The ability to make your fighter's weight whatever you want
Different fighter's styles (The guys that they designed the it after look great but not every BJJ guy pulls rubber guard)
TUF style career mode
Fighters that are actually fighting in the UFC (And their hair)
Venue's where MMA events have actually happened.
Things they need to take away...
Loading times on the menu's (2k does a good job with the menus)
Fighters that aren't in the UFC
Lame "cred" to unlock shorts. For the career mode have it so once you get 5 subs, you get Tapout shorts...for 5 ko's you get sprawl...stuff like that.
"click the r stick for subs"
Amount of 1 punch ko's...even on expert they happen too often
Arena's where MMA has never taken place
It feels as though this game was rushed to be put out and I have read that they are working on some of the things that they wanted to get into this game but didn't just to get it on the shelf. This game has a lot to improve on and has a decent base to start from.
Hopefully they can create a true MMA game in the way that Fight Night has made true boxing games
. I don't like to pay for a "beta" version.

I'll be the first to tell you that
their
aren't enough buttons on all three current system controllers to do the moves you can do in MMA.

* I would have to agree with some that have already mentioned this, the Infamous pulling of the connection once the opposing player is in for the loss in the online gameplay.

blocking low effectively checks the kick.
You can also catch the kick by flicking the right stick down.

Machida's AI is broken. He's easier to beat on expert than anyone on the game. Stand in the middle, don't move, wait for him to approach, throw two hooks, rinse repeat. Knockout in under 3 minutes everytime. Pathetic.

my problem with the game is this...
Career mode doesnt have enough variety and u get stuck fighting the same bums who uve knocked out 4 times on a rotating basis...
While training your partner does a thales leites and remains on the ground even tho your across the octogon
during fights no matter how much your smashing the CPU it still presses forward making it seem like your retreating all the time or makes the cage feel small...why cant u move more dynamically and circle out or something my fluent..
shots that shouldnt KO you do and shots that should KO you dont..pretty sure if in real life someone lands a solid spinning backfist to the temple followed by a powerful knee to the body and hook to the head and then a strong charging superman punch to the face in succession without blocking or any other shots fired they would go down or be KO'd
after you intially rock the CPU and let it survive and then rock it again it drops to the ground in a laying possy..if its laying down like that its a KO or the ref woulda TKO'd it way before any additional strikes were thrown..
Training in Career is a lil dull..besides sparing and style training you have little input in the training session...if FN3 you could hit a heavy bag spead bag lift weights skip etc why didnt they do that in this game or something similar..
lol thats all i can think of for now
and dont get me wrong i love the game these are slight annoyances within the game but its still enjoyable and i can see myself still playing it until UFC 2010 =D

Another problem... regardless how bad of a beating you are laying on the CPU in a fight, it somehow comes back at you with strength out of nowhere.. I was my CAF whoopin on sean sherk yesterday.. then outta nowhere he is able to reverse a transition and gain full mount and I couldnt shake him off! Got KTFO.. I almost slammed my controller on the floor.. then I remembered...WAIT! This is a $50+ Turbo controller (J/K its a regular PS3 one)...LOL.. This doesn't always happen, but when it does, it is extremely obvious the CPU can detect your moves... :twisted:

I know! It's as if the computer has artificial inteligence? God dang next generation gaming technology! What ever happened to the Street Fighter 2 days where you could low -- light kick someone to a Shryuken uppercut till the sun goes down?

One of the things that I don't care for is the lack of different subs, sweeps, takedowns, etc for the fighters. Watching the same animations over and over is starting to get real old, just like it did back in the PRIDE and early UFC games. There should be a variety of at least different subs and sweeps to use and make it where each fighter has a few to choose from. Then you can really mix it up. It wouldnt have been that hard to throw in the Anaconda, Omo/Gogo Plata, Heelhook, Triangle Arm Bar, etc. With the way it is now, each fighter is damn near a carbon copy of 25+ others
Not to mention some transistions between subs would be cool as well. PRIDE had those and were pretty f'n sweet at the time.
This is my one big problem in the game, I feel like I have literally seen all there is to see. Only think that keeps me playing now is the fun of playing my friends online. IF that patch comes out, I will get back into Ranked matches, but right now am tired of not only being cheated out of wins, but getting cheated out of my achievements as well.

I just got the game, and I'm dissapointed, I honestly think is not as good as I expect. My expectations were high due to all the hype it got, I'm thinking about returning it and getting my money back.

One problem that I've begun to run into is people who spam headkicks while transitioning to standup from the ground. (not talking about a missed shoot... talking about when someone is on top of you and you kick them off and are getting back to your feet)
It bugs me because I will flick the stick upwards before the kick is thrown and my fighter won't do anything to defend it.
I know it's coming, I do the proper defense, and it still won't block.
I understand throwing a legkick won't always stop someones head kick, but if you're fighting someone and know what they are doing to go, shouldn't you be able to stop it?
I don't know, it's just something that has been bugging me and seems to become a real issue during laggy ranked matches.
I guess that I just wish the game would read that you're going for the counter as you're getting up, rather then making you wait to get up before you can imput it. If I completely sell out to block a headkick, it's kind of BS that I end up eating the kick and looking like I have no idea what I'm doing.
