I was very disappointed with UFC 2. UFC 1 sucked in many ways, but it had some good things, and it was also a rushed game. I have played the crap out of both, but I enjoyed the undisputed games more.
Things I want added
:Smoother stance switches
:Slower kicks for the majority of fighters; especially lead kicks.
:Increased stamina loss for missing strikes.
:It's easy to throw over 100 punches a round. SShouldn't be that way.
Be able to push opponent into the cage with takedown.
:Running.
:Ability to close the distance with shorter fighters and explode into your shots. Romero doesn't feel like Romero in either of the games.
:Risk reward. If you throw a high kick and miss badly, I should be able to explode my fist into your face, and it should cause more damage because you are wide open. I should also have to worry about fighting a heavy handed fighter.
ecreased ground and pound damage
:Make fighters feel like themselves. Undisputed did this well.
:Better stats
iego Sanchez is an orthodox fighter. It bugs me. He should be a southpaw.
:Overhaul of the AI. I was fighting Maia in single player yeterday. He just kept switching between side control and north south, no mount attempts. Then he randomly stands up. Strikers constantly shoot takedowns. AI never goes after you when you're hurt. So many other issues.
:More single player modes.
:Better career/fnc mode.
:Be able to start your own camp online and recruit friends. Be able to spar with them, being able to focus on certain situations. Have camp leaderboards. Be able to challenge other camps. EG: 5 members of your own camp take on 5 members of another camp, and it is streamed through the game for people to watch. I know this sounds like a pipedream but it would be awesome. MMA is an individual sport, and this would be a nice way to add a team feel to the game.
:Fight night joystick control scheme for punches.
:In career, be able to enter grapping tournaments
ride mode would be awesome but it would take up a lot of time, and they need to master American MMA first.
:Be able to edit stats for offline play.
:More detailed traits. FN did this well. Fighters would have tendencies for each punch, and also for their style of fighting and they would react in certain ways when hurt.
:More flash knockdowns. They don't have to even be health events.
:You should be made to start out in a fictional promotion in career. Fight 3 times and you have opportunity to join TUF. Win 5-7 fights and be called up for a spot on the prelims. Become a champ and you have the option to join and fight on the main card.
:It should be easier to earn POTN bonus
:More in depth fight history
:Faster route to the title in career
:Be able to fight 50 times depending on damage taken.
:KO losses equal chin decrease.
:Being able to train at real life camps would be sweet
:Be able to have LHWs fight at HW. MWs fight at LHW. WWs fight at MW etc.
:Better movesets
:I hate the douchebags who do 1-2 spam. They will do it to the body too. I can beat it but it just annoys me because it looks ridiculous. It should gas you out faster if you keep throwing the same shots. You would get destroyed irl if you bent down and threw jab straight jab straight to the body.
:Be able to defend takedowns with knees
:More striking angles
:Be able to move back whilst moving your head
:Title mode
I'm sure I have missed something out. I'm asking for a lot, but I feel they have neglected so many things in the first 2 games.
I'm sure they have different people working on different modes. All the teams need to step up.
