I'll try.  Work is hectic right now.

Jason, we can always make a card "on the fly". 

If I don't show tonight I'm going to try and get a fight card going for Saturday.  Sorry about that.

Anyone going to be around *early* tonight, like 8:30 eastern?  I can probably get a few in then.

I was just about to ask you if you were going to keep it Derek.

I'll be around tonight if anyone wants to fight. We can always create a party again and just pick our matches with each other from there.

Well, I learned your first point the hard way, as my partner kicked my butt in two sparring sessions before a fight, and then I got my first loss in the fight itself.  And then the dude beat me in the re-match, so I went from 5-0 to 5-2. :(
 
I was cruising along always picking the highest ranked fighter on offer for matches, but I may have outpaced myself.
 
I'm keeping this one, BTW, (Was on the fence for a while, largely simply because there are a whole bunch of other games out now that I'm really enjoying a lot), so I should be around for some future cards.

You are absolutely right about the interface.

It might seem like you get more points for whaling, but I think you will do better if you strike as well as defend.  You may be able to out slug your partner one series and not the next.  The sparring partner is sort of a clone of the guy you are going to face.  And it seems to me his skill rises and falls according to that.  So one series he is awful and then for the next fight he seems unbeatable.

You and he both earn points for everything you successfully do.  Strike, kick, elbow, takedown, transition to better position, ground strike, knockdown, knockout, submit attempt and submit.   BUT also sprawl and blocking his transitions.  You can win the whole spar and get max points by just blocking his transitions on the ground.

Remember you get the same points for winning by 1 as winning by 50 so the spar is a great way to work on you defensive game.  Score just enough to win the spar and take the points.  Also use it to size up your next match and figure out what his weaknesses are.  I usually spar the first week after a fight just to size up the next opponent and see what I'm getting into.

I just started my career mode, and man is the interface/loading clunky.    They really need to work on that for future titles.
 
Had my first one-strike KO in my third bout, taking out the CPU in 15 seconds during one of those last minute substitution fights that pop-up.  I had reduced stamina for it too, so I guess my guy figured he'd better not waste any time!
 
Sparring seems awkward in that I seem to get more points by simply whaling on the dude, rather than trying to perform the suggested moves.  Is that right?

Sorry, guys.  Got really busy this weekend.  Haven't started work on a new fight card, but am still hoping to get something together for mid-week.  Is this Saturday bad because of Father's Day on Sunday? 

Just putting the feelers out.

It's funny you bring up the patch, I played one ranked match after we fought last night.  I made the guy tap and he disconnected.
