Got mine! Pretty excited. It'd be really cool if there was more than two fighters this time. Considering there's two genders represented on the cover there will be an opponent for each?

Woo got my invite. Thanks OP, wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for this thread.

Edit: Just got my code, so they're starting to go out.

I got one! I also thought this bit was pretty interesting with all the credit card fraud that's been happening over the Fifa Ultimate Team cards. Seems like there's going to be an Ultimate Team mode in UFC 2....

Was this common knowledge at this point?

Never got a code despite signing up the day it was out...

Anyone have a spare PS4 or Xbox code or get one they aren't going to use?

I can't even play it on release because I'll be abroad :(

Can't wait to try it out tonight. Really looking forward to the physics based knockdowns and the KO Only mode in the full game.

Forgot I signed up for this and just got a code in my e-mail.

Anyone know how long it's running? E-mail doesnt say.

Didnt get one - but looking forward to the impressions! The combat seemed a little overly complicated in the first game imo - hopefully they fixed that.

You needed to have signed up for the beta a couple of weeks ago
I got my code today, it's sent to your Origin email if you followed the steps. If not you'll just have to wait 7 weeks for the full game.

Played this for a bit, I like how there's a ton more flailing around during fights and the ragdoll like state they go into when they get knocked down or KO.

Also apparently, there's more to the beta than the Lawler/Mcdonald fight lol I've just been rematching that because I thought it was the only thing in it.

Guys, I need to tug at your heart strings. I bought the witness for $40 digitally. It gave me the worst kind of motion sickness ever. It's so bad I had to stop playing it completely. Please have a heart and send me a beta code as I won't have a game to play this weekend :*( xbox one or PS4, either one.

That GIF has me more excited than all the promo stuff they've released. I see the difference in the striking in that gif.

All the videos made it look like the same as UFC1.

Yeah I somehow got a code for this too, played a few rematches of the "intro" fight a few times and looked through the fighters. Not interested in online play and there doesn't seem to be anyway to do a single player proper "match" without just doing practice so I think I've had my fill.

Felt a lot like UFC 1, which isn't a bad thing. Will wait for EA Access to drop it in the Vault.

What does the R with the octagon around it mean when you knock someone down (clearly a ko) but they let you finish them off? Seen it pop up a few times.
