What do you want for UFC 3?

[JustBlazeM8]

Let's start a list/discussion of the key things people want for UFC 3 Ultimate Team. I'll start it off.

• Fight Camps
• Ultimate Team Rivalries
• Tournaments/Invitationals (Bracket Style)
• Auction House (similar to what FIFA has with price caps)
• Easier levelling (a concern to many that would much prefer to pick up and play - even for us hardcore guys, getting a 100 overall is a pain without spending)
• Improved character customisation - sculpting, hairstyles, tattoos, entrances, stances, taunts selection
• A 2-step remove all/universal cards function
• Description of ground cards instead of just visuals [i.e. the difference between 3* and 4* wrestling transitions]
• Better matchmaking - matchmaking based on overall

Anything else?

In general or strictly UT?

Strictly UT.

I think this is what you mean by auction house, but I definitely would appreciate a more direct way to get the cards that I want rather than spending hundreds of thousands of coins on random packs and getting an assortment of useless cards.

Well for someone that doesn't spend money on the game, a way to get to 100 OVR without needing to spend a bunch of money. I been playing since release and my highest OVR is 91..

Athleticism not being so drastically different based on what style you choose. Kinda sucks you're almost forced to go boxer if you want good chin etc starting off..

More options when making your CAF, hair styles, tattoos etc. I remember some games with career modes Id spend an hour making my CAF, and unless you want to do a lot of tattooing to create certain things, it takes 5 mins..

Also, when adding moves/perks, shouldnt feel so tedious, yes I want to add this move, thats why I chose it.

Better matchmaking as well.. thats all I got at the moment aside from your ideas

This is what I mean. I'm sure EA can do this in a more controlled way than giving us item scout and having to rely on packs. It's just a relentless grind to search for cards that we may never get...

Yep. I barely pump any money into this game either, so the best way I have to go by is through grinding matches, and I still barely hit 100 overall.

This I don't mind too much. However, I can see where you're coming from.

Yes! Customisation should definitely be improved in terms of adding our own logos, creating an entrance etc. I'm thinking WWE 2k here.

Also, when adding moves/perks, shouldnt feel so tedious, yes I want to add this move, thats why I chose it.

I'll add onto this - a remove all or universal cards function. It would be so damn helpful.

Oh, and spar/fight a friend is basically UT rivalries as I've mentioned conno888. Glad we're thinking the same. :P

Re: What do you want for UFC 3?

Customization is a big one, although itd be purely caf wise, since besides Career I thnk, you don't ever see your fighters entrance.

But ya, the WWE games I use to spend hours making a guy. You could layer beards, 50+ hair choices, hundreds of tattoos, which you could change the color of I believe as well.. there was so much you could do just look wise.

As far as the remove all/universal, definitely. But even when just changing one move. It feels tedious, say youre starting a new guy. Go to change your jab, click X, choose jab, stiff or lunging, hit x, then choose move from the cards, hit x, confirm thats the one you want, hit x. I dunno, just feels like too many windows to change from a lvl 3 to 5 or whatever lvl increase youre doing, not sure how they could make it quicker

Also!! The ground moves, wrestling transition, bjj sweeps etc. Have the cards tell you, on the back side what additional transitions or sweeps you get for doing it. Besides the stam buff and stat boost, does a lvl 5 give you an extra transition that lvl 4 doesnt? Which lvl wrestling transition gives you rubberguard? Which transition or sweep gives you the Guillotine reversal from sprawl, or the takedown reversals to takedown? Thats stuff you should know when adding moves to a fighter

For making it quicker, you could save a moveset into a template spot. If you're missing any moves, it should notify you and you could be directed to the move which is missing. Likewise, universal cards could and should be used on multiple characters simultaneously.

Also, that's a very big point. I've had to watch those damn visuals over and over trying to figure out what has been added or not. Added that point to the list for sure.

Re: What do you want for UFC 3?

Even watching the animation for the cards that they show, I dont think they show everything. I still have no idea what moves give you those takedown or sub reversals, or what gives rubberguard, or the option to go from rubberguard to side control lol

Re: What do you want for UFC 3?

CAF customization.

You don't even need to look at next gen wresting games, shoot, No Mercy on N64, and Smackdown on Ps1 had CAW options that COMPLETELY BLOW EA UFC OUT OF THE WATER. Compared to those games, it's just crazy how simplified the caf editor is in EA UFC. And those games are like 15 years old....

---------------------------

Better matchmaking.

There is no excuse for my ~78 OVR guys to be fighting 90+ guys. UT is literally broken, and I can't even play it anymore, unless I want to fight against nothing but guys with WAY WAY WAY better stats+perks+moves+athleticism. That's not fun.

Re: What do you want for UFC 3?

Updated.

Fully agree on both points. The amount of times I've played someone in division 2 when I'm in division 8 is pretty insane.

You've roasted my **** UT cafs with your super human mega cafs before, and I completely raged out. hahaha.

You're better than me either way, but in general, I hate losing to things other than skill. If you out skill me, then fair game. But if I lost because my strikes deal no damage through your maxed out athleticism, and every strike you throw instantly rocks me because my athleticism is so low, and you have maxed striking, lvl 4-5 moves, & perks... That's just so incredibly frustrating.

UT needs a serious overhaul IMO, or it just might not be the mode for me.

This is why I suggested that UT has an easier levelling up mechanism. Grinding for coins to get packs that are completely random, or to attempt to buy a 5 star move for 78k is completely and utterly ludicrous. The grind really isn't that worth it.

The grind is playing the game... If you enjoy the game the grind is just that playing the game. I agree the randomness and cost of packs vs. the coins you win per fight is totally disproportionate though.

I just hope the next version of the game encourages winning in higher divisions. The daily objectives are much easier to complete against division 1 players than against division 6 players. Getting wins against those same division 1 players is the same coins as win against a potentially much more difficult opponent in a higher division. That would discourage people from deleting fighters and farming for coins in lower divisions.

Trust me when I say... When you've played 8,000+ games and still haven't got the cards you've wanted even if you flat out refuse to spend another dime on the game, 'the grind' can get real numbing.

There has to be another system for sure.
