    Avid player of this franchise and I have to say you were pretty much spot on. Playing Simulation mode adds far more of a realistic damage system. And the cuts and bruises do have an impact! That all being said 70$ for a “fresh coat of paint” is accurate

    My biggest complaint from this game is the same one I had for UFC 4. When you get deep into your career you notice that some fighters retire but others keep fighting into their late 40s. They need to add created fighters to the game so you don’t end up fighting the same 4 guys over and over again.

      I'd love original randomly generated fighters in career mode with irl fighters making rare appearances like secret boss fights. Imagine you go through career mode only fighting original characters and have a randomly generated rival, but then out of nowhere your next fight is Jon Jones or something? That would actually feel special and cool, but instead they have you fight the same guys over and over again so you actually end up deep into your championship run at 51 yrs old fighting Jon Jones for the 9th time.

      That’s so lame 🤦‍♂️ how have they not figured that out after 5 games? We’ve had the technology available to add random fighters since UFC 1 so that’s not the reason. Seems to me like they’re complacent releasing an underwhelming product because they know they’ll still capitalize, akin to the CODs and 2Ks of the gaming industry. But hey, you better cough up $70 if you want a “new” UFC experience! Gross lazy and lame

    Miss undisputed 3’s grappling system. For me it just made sense having minor and major transitions and with enough time you’d automatically know what position your fighter would be going for. It was also easier to defend grappling transitions. I actually learned BJJ escapes and guard passes from Undisputed 3 that I use on blue belts today.
    The striking was a little arcadie but the dodging and counters were more intuitive.

    • @UncleFiggy

      Grappling system is the best of any MMA game to date. Striking is definitely the part that's aged the most, but I find the striking far less floaty than the EA games and it's muchhh easier to establish a rhythm off of one another. All in all, it's easily the best MMA Sim experience, even now

Otherwise, some nice quality of life changes here and there as far as animations and some other things. The career mode is basically the same which is stupid. No press conferences or anything else.

    The ground game is way more technical. As it should be. You have so many different submissions, positions, and positional changes when it comes to MMA. There’s wrestling, judo, BJJ, kungfu etc. you have to take all that into consideration. You’re striking game isn’t simple either. Boxing, kickboxing, mauy Thai, karate etc. you have to set up. Feints, Combos, masking, setting up. All of it is technical. yes you can spam but that’s what makes so many casual players gravitate to staying standing.

    As someone who's played the UFC games a ton, and has also spent years in martial arts, getting the Jiu Jitsu rights is pretty much going to be impossible on a controller, and even on PC it would be pretty difficult. When you say the striking and grappling feel like different games, it's because they are. Grappling is just an infinitely more complex game than striking is, and trying to cover it with 4 buttons and sticks isn't gonna be easy.

      Definitely the best ufc game ever. But its also not worth 70. The ground game, submissions and blood are the biggest improvements. Gameplay feels more balanced than ever. Fight stoppages happen a little too often against the cpu. I’ve defeated the cpu on normal and hard with blood stoppages wayyy too often. Maybe in the harder difficulties its harder to achieve but I’m not sure I want to play the game versus the cpu on the harder difficulties because the balance of difficulty feels right on hard difficulty. I haven’t played against a human player to know wether fight stoppages happen at the same rate.

      Bro you know you're a shit company when a game made 12 years ago is better than the current game you've invested tens of millions $ in. Also they removed so much stuff bro it's insane. You can't even move down in weight classes, Bruce buffer doesn't announce your name, the ground system is a joke, there's no immersion whatsoever. EA UFC is a high-budget cellphone game.

    Pro tip people. If you don’t like the ground game, you can play only stand and bang mode. Even for the career mode.

      I've taken some BJJ classes, and while that means I'm no expert, I can safely say that it takes a talented fighter to keep someone on the ground who wants to stand up. You can never lose control or provide an opening. It's an aspect of MMA that I wasn't expecting when I came over from Taekwondo, and it gave me a new appreciation for ground skills.

    I love your blunt honesty about the game even if you got a code. This is very helpful for everyone.

    They needed to do something like Tony Hawk Underground. Create a story mode where you're the manager of a stable of fighters, or something, where you have a lot more going on than just the fights. I wish, anyway.

    I would like for them to add the option to let us use the mini game submission system.
