    The new EA UFC developer

    I've done some googling and come up with nothing, so I'm asking here. What do we know about the new principal software engineer on gameplay and animation for the EA UFC series?

    I'm thinking past games, for example. or, what his job in EA Sports would be in practicality If UFC 4 is coming out this year, cause his creative inputs would be minimal, right? help me out here.

    Also to note: I do believe UFC4 is the last game on the current contract between EA and UFC.

    We've met the new guy. I'm not going to identify him because 1) I dont think I know his real name (people use their username in the chat. I dont think I knew Geoff's name until I met him) and 2) if he wants to participate in OS, I'll let him introduce himself.

    As far as I know, he's been around for a while but we didnt meet him until a week or so ago. Seems to know alot about MMA and fighting games and has a long history with them. I'm optimistic that he will be as accepting of input as Geoff was.

      I know nothing about the developers so this is just conjecture but I don't think it is fair to give as much credit and blame as we have to the frontman. All AAA games have dozens if not hundreds of developers involved so I doubt that the new dude will cause a massive paradigm shift.
      ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

                  When/If he decides to come to OS, you guys can ask him that yourselves.

                  There is no guarantee he will be an OS regular. Geoff was a one of a kind dev.

                          Very troubling direction for the series as to have a dev like geoff who interacted with the community to a complete blackout. That would be a negative direction for the game to go

                            Mighty pompous of you to assume we hold such knowledge and power to sway game development
                            The GCs are on here and can always relay our points, if they're good enough or fit into their plans. I understand your concern though, communicating with the fan base shows passion and care for the game/sport, that will def be missed

                              1 Madden dev is on OS and he is the equipment guy.

                              1 2k dev is on OS and he's a guy that got hired partially because of his OS work.

                              There is 1 The Show dev and he mainly comes around before release and doesnt really interact with the community.

                              0 devs from the NHL, Fifa or WWE 2k teams.

                              This is the norm. There were times that people here were absolutely disrespectful to Geoff and they were constantly reminded that what Geoff was doing was going above and beyond. He couldve done what most devs do and lurk and read posts and never interact but he didnt.

                              Interacting with the community isnt a gameplay developers job so I wouldnt expect that person to do what Geoff did. Hopefully I'm wrong.
