EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

Random thought I have every time it happens: You shouldn't be able to wear champion shorts online unless the fighter you're using is currently the champion of that weight division.

I'll respectfully disagree on that one. You can wear the champion shorts online because there's a Contender to Champion system in place. You can't wear the champ shorts in Ranked unless you're the champion. I quite like this system and I believe there's lots room for improvement — for example you can get certain bonuses for winning the belt and then for each consecutive title defence. Dunno what these may be since the game has no incentive/reward system other than Ranking points, but Ranking points could do with a bit of a boost as a reward too.

As for champ shorts in Quick Fight — I don't mind them at all. Titles change hands constantly and while I do understand why you would want such exclusivity, I also feel it's unnecessary. There's plenty of former champions in the UFC who have worn them and I may want to recreate certain fights or experiences. I also may want to envision someone who's yet to become champion as one. Things like that.

Show me a fight where he threw 200. YOU WONT FIND IT!!! THE MOST HE THREW WAS AGAINST JOHN FITCH (131) http://www.fightmetric.com/fighter-d...06c1d34da9c013 I am so sick of this high output BS. Guys just stick to you and throw 2 or strike combos like it is nothing.

So the most GSP threw in a 5 round fight is 131 strikes..... Your average fight in UFC 3 has people throwing that type of volume in just 1 round... 1 accelerated clock round.


The accelerated clock makes a 5 minute round only 3 minutes. That means in just 3 minutes, players are throwing an entire 25 minutes worth of strikes...

How do people not see the absurdity in that?

That is objectively insane, and beyond unrealistic output.

Like, I'm sorry, but that's objectively just spam, and gaming the game. It's absurd that you can even throw that type of volume in the game, let alone the fact that the game actually encourages and rewards you for throwing at just an insanely unbelievable unreal pace.

Chill with the exaggerations. I also wouldn't mind a reduced strike volume as long as it rewards efficient volume.

I'm not a math guy so this could be off, but let's see. 25 minutes worth of strikes in 3 minutes. 3 goes into 25 8 times.

So the game's striking output is 800% more than in real life.

How is that an exaggeration?

I specifically quoted the part about "objective spam". It's an excessive volume but it's not spam.

Throwing a 5 round fight's, 25 full minutes worth of strikes in just 3 minutes is spam.

Objectively absurd volume when compared to reality.

Sorry, not sorry.


An average Basketball game has what like 50-100 points per game? I don't watch Basketball, but I think those numbers are about right? Does NBA2k have games where teams are scoring 400-800 points? Because that's the same ratio we have here in UFC 3.

It's completely and totally insane.

It is, but it's not spam. Spam is continuously using a certain tool at your disposal, i.e. an overhand, over and over again. Throwing a lot alone is not spam...you could be spamming a combo, though, granted.
