Online I've caught the first punch thrown in the match, taken Mir down and instantly been guillotine choked out for my trouble. I've been subbed by someone with Mir while I had side control, half guard and full guard. I've never been armed by him online because you don't even need to get that far. I found out there's a mounted triangle with him though (I'm pretty sure it was from catching an upstrike while mounted, I didn't do it on purpose)
Hey fellas. I've been around the forums, mainly in the NHL 09 thread. I've had this game since launch and figured I'd start posting here. I am sad that all of you are finding the same problems I have had: quitters and people bitching about you whooping them on the ground.
I haven't had anybody bitching at me for beating their ass on the ground, which is handy because that is my game all day long.
However I am sick of the constant procession of Mir and Lesnar playing cockbaggers (Note, Lesnar players are only cockbaggers because Lesnar, himself, is a cockbagger) laying on their backs and trying to catch strikes into submissions.
Honestly, the sooner I'm past the scrub fights and can get to some honestly decent ranked matches the better. Although I had some great player matches with a guy from the FPC last night, the highlight clearly being when he tried to rush me right after the bell to start the fight and I knocked him out with a spinning back fist.
People only hate on Lesner because he used to be in the WWE and they think it takes credibility away from the UFC. I disagree, and look at him as someone who I hope breaths some life back into the WOEFULLY boring Heavyweight division (thanks a lot tim silvia). But right at the same time as when he started in the UFC we got Big Nog and it looks like Mir's returned to form. So it looks like that division's starting to come around.
Also, if someone saw the UFC on saturday, please don't spoil it here if you can avoid it. I haven't watched it yet.

Yeah, I really hate how some MMA fans turn their noses up at pro wrestlers. Just because wrestling isn't a real sport doesn't mean there aren't lots of really good athletes in the industry.

Yea, I've gotten 3 messages in 15 fights about me being too much of a "pussy" to stand up with them.
I haven't gotten any complaints about going to the ground, just quitters.
Also apparently a patch is coming to deal with the quitters
Do you know what the patch will do about it?
Nope all that's been said is THQ is working on a patch for it and the sequel
edit
Also the best answer I've found for Mir = The Pitbull. His ground game is good enough that he isn't outclasses by Mir and his stand up can be superior if you move well
My only completed online match (first one the dink left after the first when I decided I didn't want to bother exchanging power head hits and GnP'd him for a while) was a first round, first hit counter right hook as Dan Henderson against Anderson Silva.
The first match I played online was against a level 46 guy who knew the ground game but it was laggy as shit on my side so I had a hard time reversing on time. The next guy played Machida, had a good ground game, but knocked me out with a stepping jab in the first seconds of the second round. Then I played Killing Floor.
Well, I just started playing online yesterday after a few days of playing the career mode exclusively, and I'm 13-1 so far. I think only about half the guys I've played know how to defend themselves properly on the ground. My only loss came to... you guessed it..... the dreaded muay thai clinch. I was winning the fight easily, i was one punch away from knocking him out in the mount position and he somehow managed to slip out of it, and make it to the end of the round. Second round starts, i stand up with him for a bit waiting for my opportunity to take him down, and at one minute in he manages to grab me and lands 3 punches and I'm out. Such... fucking.... bullshit. I wouldn't be surprised if everybody starts doing this once they start getting a hang of the game and realizes how fucking devastating a move it is. Anyway, I'm totally down for any PA matches if anyone is interested. GT is UltimateKILLA.
The first half dozen times you fight online will be against people who don't know how to fight on the ground. That will change once you fight people with more experience.
ed
Also Frank Mir is crazy overpowered in this game. Ratings aside he is much more difficult to fight than Silva, GSP or any other fighter. Taking him down means you're probably being subbed out even if you're on top
i haven't found anyone who knows how to use the ground game yet. there was one guy who kind of knew how to and kept trying to do the rubber guard sweep to full mount, but i would just reverse it every time.
but obviously i've only played a dozen or so ranked matches and the closest i ever came to losing was with maia against anderson. i don't understand clinch grappling yet so like he was sonning me pretty bad until i tackled him and ground and pounded him. its great how you can just take someone down and never let them back up.
also i disagree about mir, but maybe if someone actually knew how to play he'd be impossible to beat. have you guys noticed how like 95% of people on xbl will just go for a retarded submission when they have dominant position and then you just escape into side mount every time? it's the best.
protip: get someone in north south and then just let them wiggle around under you trying to get out and once they've been doing that for the better part of two rounds start just clicking the right stick to start a sub attempt then immediately clicking the left stick to abort it then just as soon as you abort it click the right stick again then abort it again. repeat for like five minutes until you finally decide to finish the attempt. you never lose your position, there's no way to counter it and the best part is starting a sub attempt then aborting it immediately doesn't affect your cardio at all, but it drains theirs like a motherfucker.

I am going to cry when people start doing this online all the time
I wonder how much trade in value the PS3 version has.
Seen any good created fighters yet? The system makes some pretty generic looking fighters, but if you squint a little and if the camera is at the right angle you can make some decent likenesses.

People hate on Lesnar because he got a title shot without winning any big matches. You should have to win matches to get your rank up correct? Not go 1-1 and get a heavyweight title shot.

People hate on Lesnar because he's a dumbass. He was gaining a lot of popularity within the WWE, then he "betrayed" his fans by leaving for an NFL deal.
Which he utterly failed at.
The quick title shot was also obviously a generated push, so even if he earned it by winning, it left a sour taste in everyone's mouth that he got a title shot that quickly.
I HATE quitters.. Seriously.. What the hell.. I've never been so dominant than in my last match.. I mush his face into my fist from full mount, and low and behold, he quits. Like wtf..
EDIT: I think what I may do, just to balance out the universe, is for every dude who quits on me, I'll quit on someone else. That'll work won't it?

I just report them and send them a message. Once in a while I'll get one back about how I am a bitch of sorts and I remind them of the outcome of our fight.

To be honest, I think mine looks decently like me. I really need to make a blog post with all the versions of me in games with comparison pictures.
edit: I am hoping on in a bit to probably be an ass and stay up late to get to 50 wins (I think that is one of the achievements). I am up to like 28, so my 30th win will get me that achievement. So far, I have only had one quitter. I guess I am lucky.
My CAF is E.Stanley Kroenke and I tried my best to make it look like him but he looks more like Dan 'The Beast' Severn with gray hair. Unfortunately, you can't create a fighter that is over 50 years old so I settled on him being 42.

And yup 50 wins is "Brown Belt." Got it this morning
I love hold left/right on the right analog and it does NOTHING. Awesome. Way to stop his transitions.
what do you mean?
and my caw is paulo filho. i think i got the likeness pretty good. he's pretty much unstoppable online.
edit: too much smackdown. i mean caf. not caw.
edit 2: my paulo filho is basically the closest approximation to real life paulo filho that you can have online. i even play exactly like him. i'm really pissed it makes you have a striking style. i wish i could've made him bjj/judo like he actually is. bjj/judo would be unstoppable in this game, if it let you do it. maybe bjj/wrestling would be better.
I LOVE quitters. We had a pretty good game, but yet again they don't know how to defend a full mount. Quit as soon as I knocked him out. Fucking d-bags.
Ive had it turned off since you first let me know about it.. Fuck.. Another quitter.. That's 5 now.. This shit is making me not want to play this game at all.. Like seriously.. I thought EA's online was bad..
Fuck. You. THQ.
EDIT: ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING ME?!?!?!?! Last game I played, it didn't seem like a normal disconnect.. It actually kicked me out of Xbox Live and I had to sign back in.. I get back on, and apparently I don't have a player ranking anymore.. All my online stats got wiped.. Like.. I honestly don't know what to say right now.
And now I apparently can't even get onto the servers to even attempt a match.
EDIT 2: Ok.. False alarm.. I'm watching you though THQ..

I felt like I was cheating it was so spectacular.
Woot.
The 2nd guy I beat was a MORON. He didn't block low at ALL. I kicked him in the ribs so many times they were purple.
Edit: make that 4 wins in a row. A TKO in the 3rd round and a flash knockout in the 2nd.
