I just got this game, so I'm not that good, but I'd definitely be up for some matches.

I'm having a REALLY hard time getting out of grapples. It seems like if they get on top of me and start beating my face in, it's over for me :whistle2:|

Any advice?

That's a fighter you took through career mode right?

Practice, practice, practice. You gotta know your transitions well. On the lower difficulties, you can do them without any real resistance from the CPU. But if you're playing against a human opponent or expert CPU, timing becomes critical.

They tend to focus more on blocking your transitions and not allowing you to escape, waiting for you to just tire yourself out so they can slap on a submission. The key is not panicking and picking the right moment to go for your transition (usually right after they go for a move of their own). It'll take time, but eventually you should get better at it.
 
Yea, I think that's my problem, I tend to panic when I'm on the floor.

If you wouldn't mind playing some unranked matches with me and showing me the ropes, I'd really appreciate it.
 
UOC league is a bunch of rude nerdo's. Everyone there is insulting and doesn't help anyone out. I hope you don't have that attitude Mr meaty. People here are laid back.

Don't freak out and be patient.

Try holding the Left Button and doing a quarter circle to go to closed gaurd, or try to catch one of the punches. From there you have two options, either try holding onto the guy until the ref forces a stand up (but you need a very high grapple defense to pull this off from the mount position) or doing a half circle to force them to move to half gaurd.

A lot of people just do a regular half circle and give up their back, which isn't really the best option.

Block until you think that they aren't grapple blocking before doing a transition. Remember to block the stomach as well since almost no one remembers that.

More importantly, don't let them get to mount in the first place. If you aren't comfortable on the ground, close gaurd and transition block.

Try creating a Judo fighter, they have some awesome ground transitions.

All right, I believe you. I know you had some problems in your first attempt at joining CAGFC, but everybody gets a chance here. As long as you play by the rules and show good sportsmanship, you'll have no problems. I'll add your fighter info soon, and you'll be on the next card posted on Friday.
 
Okay TY. and i am sorry fr my old caf.

Good luck.
 
I'd like to throw in my new HW guy:

Name: Tony "The Grim Reaper" Hawk
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 235
Fighting Styles: Muay Thai/Judo
Overall: 97

From throwing down tricks to throwing down bodies, fans will be excited to watch Tony transition from flying boards to flying knees. Will Bruce Buffer train to throw a Buffer 900 just for Tony? Stay tuned to find out!
 
[quote name='seen']Oh and Mr Meatly28 please watch your manners here, last I remember you had the attitude of a spoiled little kid.[/QUOTE]

I believe I already addressed it. No need to bring up old shit. Can you erase that last part? It's just going to start trouble.
 
[quote name='AceSXE']n8 wanna do our match between 11 and 12 est time tonight if possible?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, that sounds perfect. I can be on at 11 if that works for you. I sent you a message on Live earlier. Sorry it took me so long to respond. This week has been flying by for me, haha.
 
Joey Acez | Joachim Hansen | Tapout (Kimura) | 4:30 of Rd 1

No offense to Ace, but that fight sucked. Granted, I'm still at the beginning of Hansen's career and he's only rated a 38, so I expected to get beaten. But at the very least I wanted to get dominated. We traded a few shots early, with Ace trying to take me down. I managed to catch him in my MT clinch and threw some whip knees. After he broke free, he took me down, and slapped on a kimura. It was a disappointing ending for me because I was hoping to get my face beat in.

I'm starting to fear that I'm an MMA elitist because certain things just bother me. In my head, kimuras (and kneebars to an extent) are not really worthy submissions because you can perform them from very generic ground positioning. As opposed to armbars, triangle chokes, or rear naked chokes where you have to advance your position to be able to go for one. See how elitist that is? lol...what the fuck is wrong with me? But in my head, it makes perfect sense.

Anyway, I was going to lose either way, so I guess it doesn't matter. If I had gotten Hansen further into his career, it wouldn't have been an issue. Sorry to rant about it. I had also just finished fighting Thiago Tavares for the 4th time in career mode, and he was the biggest example of cheesing I've ever seen by the CPU. All he did the entire fight was shoot for takedowns, and as soon as he got me down, he'd go for a kneebar. Even when I had full stamina, he just kept going for it. I've never seen the CPU be that cheap before. It was really annoying.

EDIT - Nice, apparently Ace took offense to me making fun of his kimura and saying that I should have just given him the win because it would have saved us some time. So, he's retiring. My guess is he's about done with the game anyway since he's got all but two of the achievements. If I truly caused it, my bad. But all 3 of my fighters have lost their first fights in CAGFC because they've been underprepared because I spend more time working on the league than I do playing the game. Forgive me for being a little frustrated.

Isn't he the same guy who bailed on the NCAA 09 dynasty last year because we didn't follow a strict set of rules (about 2 pages long) that were used by another forum's league?

Eh, I wouldn't know. I'm not gonna bag on the guy though. I just felt that by having a fighter rated 50 points higher than mine, he could have won more convincingly (kinda like he cheated himself, haha). But I don't know for certain that he knew my guy was only a 38, not that it matters. In the end, winning is winning. I cleared it up with him though. I was really perplexed by the fight more than anything. Like "wow, that was fast" lol. Honestly, with the difference in ratings, he probably could have submitted me from the opening bell, haha. Anyway, yeah, Ace said he's going to take a break from the league...but could be back, which is fine with me.

Click to expand...

Yeah, I was trying to create a stand up fighter to go through the lightweight division, and thanks to the competition spent more time on the ground than anything. Played all of the fights on expert and didn't have too much of an issue though. The computer always reacts the same when you get into mount on expert so the challenge was getting into mount before the computer could try for a sub.
 
All right guys, we've still got 3 fights that need to be completed by tonight's deadline.

Brandon Haines vs Michael Klein (LH)
Ash Cambell vs Captain Caveman (LW Title)
Chris Moore vs Gail Pennyfeather (HW)

These need to be in by 11:59 PM EDT tonight. Hopefully you guys are able to make them happen. The CAGFC9 card will be posted tomorrow.
 
When I did my lightweight career Sherk did the same thing, takedown after takedown, then kneebar. That was the only fight the CPU was a cheese ball.
 
Ash Cambell l Captain Caveman l 3:40 of Round 3 Submission via armbar

My strategy was to try and knock the wind out of Caveman, and it worked but it wasn't easy. For a Caveman that sucker is good at BJJ. For every transition I got there were another 10 I attempted but didn't get. Fast sucker too. I received a better understanding of why having a high speed stat is a good idea because when Caveman went for an attack at the chest/stomach area it was near impossible to block or counter the flurry.

Had a second fight for fun that was even closer. I think if I hadn't already made a guy that mostly fought on the ground I would've never been able to defend his BJJ.
 
Ash Cambell l Captain Caveman l Submission (armbar) Rd 3

Good fight, very nice title defense. Those were some sweet judo reversals that you pulled off.
Your timing on the transitions was killing me, well played. Very even on the ground and you were killing me on the feet.

I will have to bow out of the league after this fight. Trying to match up with my schedule and the schedule of others doesn't always work out and also with FN4 and NCAA I can't put as much time into UFC.
 
The results from CAGFC8: TRUE WARRIORS have now been finalized. We only had one incomplete fight between Chris Moore and Gail Pennyfeather. In true Nordic fashion, just like he does in the bedroom, Pennyfeather backed into his first CAGFC win. Good job getting the rest of the fights completed though, guys!

The card for CAGFC9: NEMESIS is also up. There's a lot of great matchups on the card this week, with both Ortiz brothers back in action...and both in title bouts. Mach Sakurai looks to push his CAGFC record to 7-0. I Am DrP1zza looks for revenge against Gary Russell vowing to "beat him into the living death". And finally, a rematch of last week's great Lightweight title fight between Ash Cambell and Captain Caveman.

The deadline for CAGFC9 fights is Thursday, 7/30 at 11:59 PM EDT. Good luck to everyone!

By "this fight", I hope you mean CAGFC9, because I JUST posted that card and you're on it. Your last fight would be against Tony Hawk, so I hope that's cool.
 
[quote name='MikeBike']Michael Klein l Brandon Haines l KO 3:50 of round 2

Sorry took so long to post, had to go out after the fight and just got home.[/QUOTE]

Sorry I didn't post either, went out afterwards as well. What can I say though, I've lost 3 straight now after going 3-0. I may need to re-analyze my game. I might as well have started the fight last night and just put my controller down. That's how bad I thought the fight went. He had control the entire fight.
 
Yo I want to try to get my fight in as quick as I can. Today would be great...I can play anytime for the rest of the day.

I'm guessing you mean 235, since there's no way to make your fighter any heavier. And we also need your Gamertag.
 
[quote name='Dead EditHer']Oops, I hit the wrong number, yeah he's 235. Gamertag is Dead EditHer, same as CAG ID.[/QUOTE]

Ok, cool. Just wanted to make sure. I'll add you to the roster now. Welcome to the league!
 
[quote name='Dead EditHer']Thanks, just tell me where and when to show up for my first fight.[/QUOTE]

Cards are posted on Friday mornings, so you just missed the one for this week. When you're matched up with somebody, it's up to you guys to contact each other and work out a time for your fight. Most of the important info is in the spoilers at the top of the OP. Check that out if you haven't already.
 
[quote name='moojuice']Just send Cmoore a message over live... if he is out for this card, maybe Dead could fill in?[/QUOTE]

Well, that's up to Cmoore if he wants one last fight or not. He was included in the mass message that went out this morning though, so hopefully we'll know one way or the other.
 
^You sent him a pm right? You should send something like this in a pm and post the next day if you weren't to hear from him.
