GoodGameBro writes, "While EA SPORTS UFC has a lot of appealing features to it, it’s clear after a few weeks of play time that it is far from a perfect game. The title took some lumps critically, including a lukewarm response from us in our official review. While I feel like a lot of what Marc wrote in our review was justified, I did enjoy my time with the game, and do feel like it’s a solid foundation to build upon in the future.
While a foundation is ok to start with, it is evident that a lot of work needs to be done for the series to be looked upon with the greats in the sports genre. I decided to give my take on what I think needs to improve in EA SPORTS UFC, either in a sequel, or a downloadable patch. While we don’t know how detailed EA SPORTS plans to make their patches for the title, it would be nice to see some of these additions early on as some of the omissions are pretty game-breaking to some of us hardcore fans."
EA Sports UFC 4 is back, but is it better than ever?
From PSU: "Without a doubt the best MMA videogame ever made, EA Sports UFC 4 supplements a welcome array of new offline and online modes with a revamped and endlessly sophisticated combat system that everybody can enjoy. For MMA fans it doesn't get any better than this."
Replies(2)Strange as a lot of YouTube beta players hated it. They've had years and just copied and pasted ufc 3 ith a few new haircuts
Same... although they long ago fired all the developers that made FN great. So it would likely be terrible if it came back.
Well, for context EA did put in real boxers Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the game, and Isaac Frost and Andre Bishop from fight night champion in the last game. No getting around it, they have been c@ck teasing boxing fans for years with this sh!t pre-order dlc
these UFC games are trash, they play terrible. UFC is not really a good choice for a game because of the limited inputs controllers have. But EA got the license on the cheap, so they've been shoveling this crap at us for years while we wait patiently for a fight night that will probably never happen until Mayweather is dead or runs out of money.
my wishes:
fight night primarily focused on online, like gt sport.
ONLY stick controls. No button mashing. if you try to mash buttons, your characters head explodes and he's permanently deleted from the game.
Same here, I love boxing more than MMA but I also want a good MMA game as well.
I agree with this review, I tried it only because it's free on EA Access and figured I'd hate it like I did the other games but lo and behold I loved it and plan to buy it now. The game is so much more fun now that they've made it so much less complicated and inaccessible to non-hardcore fighter fans.
A beautiful reminder of how much I miss Fight Night, check out my review on Watch-Loki!
I COMPLETELY agree with everything brought up in this article. These omissions drive me nuts on what could be a great game. Maybe Im too hardcore, I dunno. But GoodGameBro gets it right on this one.
Add Brock Lesnar.
Absolutely loved this. When I first played the game, I was trying to figure out how to touch gloves at the beginning of the round and was like "where the HELL is Herb Dean??"
It's a decent game, but yes there are lots of things that could/should be added.
I really appreciate all of the nice comments guys, thank you. I've passed this stuff along to the EA UFC Community Manager and he has seen it and passed it along. Hopefully some of this stuff gets added!
Thanks for reading.
