With such a huge depth no two matches are going to be the same. UFC 2, like it’s real-life counterpart, offers players a diverse fighting experience bringing together some of the most brutal and exciting martial arts in one game. But it doesn’t take long to grasp the logic and learn some very powerful game-changing techniques. Unlike last time where negotiating your fighter during the clinches and grappling could be a bit difficult to understand, UFC 2 gives players a little more prompting removing some of the confusion, especially for new players. Two bodies shuffling around for the best position isn’t nearly as exciting as the sound of a good punch creaking into a jaw, but a bout can easily be won or lost with a submission. There’s no cheap shots when either fighter is on the ground. Definitely the most complicated part of the game and the mechanic that’ll sort the men from the boys. The ground game is where the game starts to get divisive. Clinches offer a bit more strategy and the opportunity to give your opponent a good knee in the face via a Thai clinch. Moving away from the stand-up game opens up more complex, more challenging, but ultimately more rewarding gameplay that you’ll not find with any other fighting franchise.

But UFC 2, like it’s real-life counterpart is about much more than two people hitting each other. There’s no doubt that the most direct and immediate route to fun is when kicking and punching one another Thai boxing style. And it’s only through plenty of practice that you are going to discover the immense depth offered by the game. With some skills under player’s belts, the practice mode can be used to further hone their fighting prowess. The challenges will take players through the offensive and attacking strategies required to succeed in the very different stand-up, clinch and ground components of the games. The skill challenges should be the first stop for players wanting to learn the nuances of the game’s extremely deep combat mechanics. UFC 2 also allows players to jump right into a quick unranked online match or partake in the ranked championships. Using the same sort of trading card system in other EA Sports UT modes, players can add special moves, perks and attributes to their fighters and take them into single player or online Ultimate Championships. You can create up to five fighters across four weight classes: lightweight, middleweight, heavyweight and women’s bantamweight. Ultimate Team, the premier game mode for most players across the EA Sports ranges, comes to UFC 2. If players just want to punch and kick their way to victory, Knockout Mode lets them do exactly that removing clinches and the ground game from the match.

UFC 2 screams player modes in the manner that you’d expect from any game coming from the EA Sports stable. It’s EA Sports’ newcomer of a franchise, the mixed martial arts fighting game UFC, that kicks of this year’s barrage of sports sims with its second outing, UFC 2.īuilding upon 2014’s flawed, but generally well-received EA Sports UFC, EA Canada have spent the last two years creating a feature-rich sequel that’s a marked improvement on the previous entry.
