Online Game Modes?

EA is also touting two multiplayer modes “designed for fast, fun fights.” They are “Stand & Bang,” and a “Submission Showdown” to go along with the Knockout Mode introduced in 2016’s EA Sports UFC 2. For more on Knockout Mode and the last game, see Polygon’s review. EA Sports UFC 3 will also offer a tournament mode where the combatants must fight through multiple rounds to victory, with fatigue and injury accruing through each bout. https://www.polygon.com/2017/11/3/16...e-ps4-xbox-one

So we're getting a Stand 'n Bang mode, which I assume is going to be a striking only mode, but without the silly conditions Knockout Mode has.

Then we're getting a tournament mode which sounds awesome and is just like the Pride tournament mode I've always been hoping for.

Then there is only one problem. These are most likely not going to be online, are they? Can't these be added to Quick Match as a search condition filter?

Everywhere people are going to be making their striking only matches/tournaments, and having this as a filter under Quick Match/Play a Friend, would be awesome. If the striking is really going to be that good then it would be a complete waste to keep it to offline only.

That tournament mode would make for an amazing online mode too. I really do hope this is not going to be locked behind offline only. You are going to add these amazing modes, please don't tell me you are going to keep this exclusive to offline. That would be really disappointing.

There are so many former Fight Night players who will never be completely satisfied with anything other than a boxing game, but this is a great opportunity to get their interest.

So hopefully people will voice their opinions on this, but more so, hopefully EA realizes what they have in their hands with these cool modes.

It really doesn't have to split the playerbase up too badly if they add it the right way.

Quick Match should be the hub for these alternative game modes. Don't tell me you actually added Snoopcast commentary just to keep it away from anyone that only plays online these days.

Even Fight Night Champion's bare knuckle mode back in 2011 was available online. EA please.

[tissues250]

Is there going to be a ranked championships in ufc ea 3?

They gotta make it online. It's only right to do. Why would you not make the tournament mode online? Also hope the stand & bang and submission showdown are online modes too.
