Can we play a ufc 2 game against each other ? I was a top 60 player in ranking on Ultimate team. Would be my dream to face you in my best ufc game 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
UFC 2 had a 7 level defensive system (1) deny clinch (2) block head (3) block body (4) check leg kicks (5) takedown defense (6) parry head (7) parry body. Different inputs for each....it was perfect 🥺
UFC 2's striking had more weight. Although the animations were of worse quality in terms of frames, they were more realistic and simulated weight and power. Also contributes to knockouts and knockdowns looking much, much better. UFC 3 and 4 have pitty pat striking.
Agreed. UFC 2 was so fluid but the parry mechanic really hurt that game it was abused way to much. UFC 2 is probably my favorite one of EAs. Wish undisputed 3 had online still :(
Great video brother. I remember when this game came out I couldn't believe what I was seeing as well but when I started playing it I was greatly disappointed. UFC 2 really blew me away.
I was really surprised when the UFC let Mousasi go... especially because he was on a 5 fight win streak and just popped into the top 3. I felt like he was really a tough matchup for everyone
He was a very good and tough opponent, i am still always rooting for him. But he got stopped couple of times by top fighters just before the title shot. He wanted to get paid like a star, but Dana treated him just like another mediocore fighter. So he chose what is best for him and his family. His story is very similar to Rory Mcdonald’s.
EA UFC 1 was my first ever mma game. Got me hyped about MMA, and introduced me to all the fighters and stuff. The biggest issue I remember was the ease of blocking. If I recall correctly, you could block both head and body and legs with the same input, making it super easy to shell up. Oh - and the animation where you slap your opponents hand away, the parry. Will always hold a place in my heart, even if literally every EA UFC game made after was ten times better.
This is my first time seeing a EA Ufc 1 gameplay , i dont know how it plays but from a viewer standpoint i felt that it was much more realistic than ufc 3/4 , the combos , the way the strikes were executed , the way the strikes connected , i may be wrong but i felt like it was the closest i've seen from a ufc game looking like a real fight , just my first impression tho i might be wrong
EA UFC 2 was by far the game I've had the most fun with up to this point. On paper UFC 3 and 4 are better but I really have a hard time having fun with those games. I literally play EA UFC 4 to scratch the MMA itch when I have it, thats it. I don't look forward to playing it all night like I did with EA UFC 2.
UFC 2 is the GOAT of the EA series so far, at least in combat and the striking/defense system, felt like blocking was a real threat if you got complacent compared to the later ones!
One thing I loved about Ufc 2 was the head movement you truly do justice to Anderson Silva. I wish Ea sports would do a survey right here on RUclips find what people liked most of all MMA games including UFC MMA. They could actually make the G O A T of all combat sports games. I’m sure people would understand if it took a little longer. Make it # 5 series consoles Retro fit it for #4 since there’s seems to be a problem getting enough 5 series consoles to the various stores.
Ive always hated the AI in these EA games... The backing away mechanic it implements is EXTREMELY annoying. They will literally spend the ENTIRE match backing away from you
@@mr.twenty-ten6319 easy to get around that. Mix up strikes extensively and use leg kicks in sequences rather then when you see openings. The parrys were something you guessed rather then saw.
I have been watching you martial since I was like 15 years old I am now 24 and it’s amazing to see how far you have grown you deserve all of it brother 💙
Ik I'm a bit late but Henry thanks for all your content it really cheers me up and got me to the point where I am now trying to get into mma irl and being able to destroy exploiters in ufc 4
EA is like that girl that wanted nothing to do with you but once you got another girl, had some success and acquired more for yourself, suddenly came back and wanted you. That's how it was with EA and MMA/UFC. They've taken the wheel and have been making games for UFC but it never had the same authenticity that Undisputed 3 had, especially for it's time.
I think I remember when you said in real life, sometimes it can just take one clean punch to knockdown or KO your opponent. But in these games, you can't (and obviously it would be unfair for someone who dominates the whole fight just to lose by a lucky clean shot). My suggestion would be, give the fighters a certain % of chance that their clean shot can knockdown or KO the opponent. For example let's say Conor has about 60% - 70% chance to KO with one clean shot, and Francis has obviously like 90% or 95% chance, and it would make fighting him super dangerous just like real life. And of course in online match, to avoid players choosing the same fighters with the highest chance, they can decrease or equalize those numbers.
I could be wrong but I think UFC 4 was the last game on ea’s contract and Dana might pick another developer to go forward with future games but like I said I could be completely wrong
Hey man! I remember playing both and much preferring EA MMA vs thq series, felt like the r analog controls were much more intuitive than buttons. It was a long time ago and I may remember incorrectly, what's your opinion on this?
I dunno why but I've played every UFC from Undisputed 1 to EA's UFC 4. And frankly... from this game to UFC 4 I can't really... seem to notice a big difference in graphics? And for some reason this game seems perhaps even a bit better looking in some areas? Really disappointing.
Martial, you go on and on about rag doll KO’s but ea Ufc 1 is the only edition that had starch KO’s for me that’s my favorite. There’s nothing like seeing your opponent getting knocked out stiff. I wish Ufc could make a game that had both because they’re both “in the game”.
Yo martial is there any chance I could verse you, just to see if I have improved on ufc 4. I have been using your tips and I would like to see if am a better player
I was kind of bummed they got rid of that online mode where you have to unlock fighters threw card packs and unlock moves and stuff. That was the only thing I really played and now it's kind of pointless playing online. you're fighting for no reason whatsoever
Fellas. I used Gegard Mousasi. I did. I used him. Just... Keep watching. Or just skip to 15:20 to watch me use him.
Can we play a ufc 2 game against each other ? I was a top 60 player in ranking on Ultimate team. Would be my dream to face you in my best ufc game 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Martial please give me a new Cody Garbrandt showcase, I need it more than blood in my veins.
What happens to the pride videos martial? You were gonna do pride on undisputed 3 and another pride game.
i couldn't believe you backed out of fighting with Gegard, i was truly disappointed
UFC 2 had a 7 level defensive system (1) deny clinch (2) block head (3) block body (4) check leg kicks (5) takedown defense (6) parry head (7) parry body. Different inputs for each....it was perfect 🥺
I actually find UFC & UFC 2 more challenging now that I've gotten used to the control's of UFC 3 & 4
Yes. They are more challenging than UFC 3 and 4 for sure. Especially UFC 1.
The old controls just felt more fluid and smooth compared to ufc 3 and 4
I’d agree but for some reason ufc 3 seems more real but that’s just me lol
@@mareyartemis3419 💯 👌
@@ccenda3109 facts
the hair movement is ufc 2 is one of the best thing ea has done
The striking animation in 1 & 2 was perfect. No idea why they changed it to the robotic way it is in 3 & 4.
My guess, is to make it easier to hit while moving. In UFC 1 & 2, you can’t move while you strike
@@Krawberry yea but nobody in ufc move and hit at the same time they may lunge or sway then strike but nobody walks and strike thats stupid

You will hate this
Those rag dolls were absolutely gorgeousssssss
Imagine if UFC 3 and 4 had the damage system of UFC 1 and 2? The fantastic combos without getting rocked and dropped every 10 secs.
UFC 2 had the best physics.
the funnest out of all the games imo

Could you play every Fight Night game next?
Ooooooh. I like that!
Knockout Kings too…
Dustin's lunging uppercut, straight to the body. Lunge back then head kick was gorgeous
Safe to say that I’ll put UFC 4 in the same category as Bellator MMA onslaught

the the first EA UFC intro and animations are pretty much the same as in ufc 4...

Ea sports ufc 2 was elite. Cried when 3 came out it's no where near as good.
I played 3 before 2. Played 2 maybe twice before using it as a coaster. The frame rate was the worst I have seen in a combat simulator.
2 was the greatest. Downhill from there.
Agree. 2 was the best of the series. Only thing sucked were the Parry spammers.

Good idea for a series and well executed bruh.
Ea does it on purpose so that people forget and then they add it on the next year for people to buy and they rinse and repeat
Ahh watching you play UFC2 again brought back so many fun memories. Need to reinstall it asap
back when UFC tried to be realistic, instead of an arcade mortal kombat parody.

Honestly, GSP was a beast. I went to a seminar he held in, I think it was 2015, and the dude is thicker than he looks on TV or in-game.
There's one hardcore brutal kind of indie MMA game not part of the UFC, but I think you would like it, Supremacy mma for PS3 and xb360
