10. Complete The Tutorials
Getting to grips with EA Sports UFC can be a daunting prospect. The deep, multifaceted nature of the sport means that the game has to have an intimidatingly large array of controls which can be difficult to get to grips with particularly if this is your first time playing an MMA video game. Its not much fun forking out for a brand new (overpriced) Xbox One or PS4 game only to be forced to complete dull tutorials. The temptation is to skip them, get straight into the Octagon and start dishing out the KOs. However, in the case of EA Sports UFC, it is most definitely worth taking the time to get to grips with the games basics. The controls of the game are so sprawling that the tutorials dont even cover every available trick at your disposal. However, they do give you a basic grounding in the game which will immediately give you a huge advantage over the competition (many of whom dont seem to have taken the time to complete the tutorials, even though Dana White himself pops up telling you off for skipping the invaluable lessons). The games striking controls may be self explanatory but beyond this you really should take the time to learn the wider game. Theres a reason guys like Gerard Gordeau are no longer around in the UFC its because its MIXED martial arts, not just kickboxing.
