EA & UFC Extend Multi-Year Deal For EA Sports UFC Series Through 2030

[Zyaf]

Is literally anybody surprised by this? I feel like we all knew it was going to happen. For one, I am happy because another company building a game even close to as good as UFC 4 (or UFC 3 if that's your jib), or even Undisputed 3 with modern technology would take years and plenty of awful games along with those years.

How likely is it that we see a PC release during this re-up?

Man on one hand I am really sceptical about this because there are so many thing I hate about ufc 4.
On the other hand the next gen consoles will launch next week so that will give the devs much more room to work with in terms of animations and so on.
I really hope that they will stop with these crazy masks and hats or make a seperate mode for it. Also I really hope they work on finish the fight animations etc.

A bit off topic but at the moment I am waiting for a gameplay trailer for a new boxing game called : Esports Boxing Club by Steel City Interactive.
A lot of good people are working on this game and it looks really promising at this point.
The gameplay trailer should launch this week and the game will release on PC in december (early access) and on consoles early 2021
Most of these new boxing games suck but I have really high hopes for this one which I hope will last until a next gen ufc or even longer.

I don’t know man. I thought for sure that we were on the path when Madden went PC but they haven’t attempted to expand that.

The Madden PC community is real small so I can only imagine how small the UFC one would be.

With that said, the mods that I and others have modded on Madden are awesome so I would love the challenge.

Well, looks like I'll stick with UD3 and UFC 3 for the rest of my life. Really doubt UFC 5 will do much of anything to please fans like me, just as UFC 4 was a big step down from 3 to me in terms of presentation and control, I figure 5 will continue that direction even further.

EA has no reason whatsoever to cater to those who want a more authentic, sim oriented experience, and I just have to accept that.

So you're happy another developer doesn't even get to attempt to make a better game? This makes no sense to me.

Even if it took 5 years to make a game on par with EA's UFC games then at least in 5 years everyone would have a choice between 2 different UFC games. There is no possibility of a choice now.

Edit: Perhaps you are looking at it from the perspective of a different company getting the exclusive license? I didn't even consider that because it'd make no sense for Dana to take the license away from EA and give it to a different company exclusively. He seemed pretty hyped at the original announcement of EA getting the license just for them to be making a UFC game.

Anyway though, they talk in the press release about EA's ability to "grow and introduce new fans to the sport." As if that has anything to do with EA making good games. They have the exclusive license, MMA is a growing sport, so more people buy the series every year. It's as simple as that. Who are they trying to fool by suggesting it has anything to do with the quality of EA's games? And that goes for any sports game they have exclusive licenses for.
