He looks great. Too bad his gloves and T-shirt are as close to soccer kicks as your gonna get so long as EA holds the license.

Isn’t it odd that there is no word of a roster release and we’re just over a week away?

Same as last time. Guess they wanna minimize the word of mouth damage when it's revealed theres only gonna be like 10 new faces after 3 years of waiting.

Yeah, I think there’s a reason they’re avoiding it. Probably not too many additions. Only new additions so far are a Boxer and a guy that never fought in the UFC. Which is fine but many of us would rather have current fighters to have a realistic current universe.

I'm an offline Universe guy. I have multi offline profiles (one for each weight class) and 22 active roster fighters on each (i think I have a few non UFC fighters too...like Bader and Big Country, but everyone else is active on the roster). To be honest...I'd rather have Marcin Tybura on the roster than Fedor because 1) PRIDE fighters decked out in PRIDE gear with no PRIDE mode....smh and 2) There's some talented/artistic people out there and theres always a really good Fedor CAF that someone builds....minus the stats/moves anyway.

Not a roster reveal but they’ve started sharing ratings on Twitter (X). Today was women’s and men’s BW and they only show the top 5, no new names revealed.

Massive red flag there, but somehow I still thought they'd have the top15 in somehow. We get Fedor and Big Nog, I heard, which is cool, but is that really it?


For a company catering to casuals, that's not very smart. This must be a huge dealbreaker for that segment of gamers.

OP updated with what appears to be the final roster. Check the roster breakdown at the end. Pretty well a wet fart of a roster. Only new characters are pre order DLC. Large portion of the roster is not currently active. Missing a lot of ranked fighters. Extremely disappointing, thought for sure they’d add at least a few.
