They seemed to want to hide the brutal side of the sport as much as possible. Now you are telling me we are getting backyard brawls? Either someone flipped the switch and got the green light to not worry about all that (imo unnecessary) covering up the brutal side of the sport, or this stuff is indeed just cut-scenes. I hope its the first option but I'm not holding my breath.

It's now rated M (no age recommendation, most kids start watching M movies at around 8/9 years old, includes movies like the Avengers) in Australia rather than MA 15+.

That’s interesting if true , I would love for EA to show the brutal nature that mma fights can be at times with nasty cuts ,gashes (lip gashes ,eyebrow gashes and etc) , bruises , hematomas ,blood flowing nonstop until the cut man gets to it (would love a cut man mini game) and more.

Also the back yard and Muay Thai stuff is probably fighter origins before reaching the amateur mma scene such as Strikeforce and etc and eventually have different routes to get to the UFC such as contender series ,TUF or straight in with a contract from Dana.

If this is the case I hope we have more player choice such as staying in the Other organizations until I WANT to go take the routes offered to be a part of the ufc. Also no longevity just player stat decay when I get older in age and decide to hang it up since I can’t hang anymore

No there was a actual bare knuckle mode in fight night.
You could select the prison arena or other arenas too.

Really crazy that this game has a teen rating instead of M rating. One of the things I did not like was the damage system in ufc 3. Atleast we have the venues, quite sure we can play in them because I do not think they would put it in the very first teaser otherwise. I guess one more day and we will know.

For what it's worth, UFC 2 was rated Teen as well and that was pretty good for cuts/bruises/blood.

I assume this will be the same as the press conferences, these 2 second clips is all we're going to see ingame.

On one hand I am quite happy with the new venues. I am almost 100% sure they are not for cutscenes only. The reason why I am quite sure we can fight in them is because the muay thai venue has an octagonal shape and I think it is the same shape for the backyard fights. This way they didn't need to change the physics for the ring so it is basically the same but different skin. I saw an interview with the ea producer in which he confirmed that it was basically too much work to implement a square ring in ufc 3 because of the physics. On the other hand I am quite sure that we do not have a pride mode or square ring because of the above.
