EA Sports UFC 3 Gameplay Video - Jon Jones vs. Anderson Silva

[Haz____]

Just my opinion, but the game looks pretty rough... I'm still buying it because I'm an MMA junkie, but it's mostly just for an updated roster at this point, as this gameplay looks seriously clunky... So floaty, awkward, and unrealistic looking to me..


I don't blame the devs tho. We have awesome, passionate devs.

I'd blame the big cheese at EA for shortchanging, and under funding development.

Everything i've seen lately makes it seem like EA is more interested in Ultimate Team, Loot box, micro transactions, than producing a quality product.

I agree with all of this, most of the gameplay I've seen looks pretty rough. But, I know from the beta that visual jank doesn't bother me as I'm playing and that, to me, it feels significantly better than UFC 2, so I'm still pretty excited for the game, and not just because I'm a junkie. I also think that bad players really, really exacerbate the visual jank

Sort of agree, I think it's going to be one of those things where it looks great sometimes but then others it looks hideous, kind of like these gameplay vids. I personally had A LOT more fun playing the game than I did watching vids of it. Most of the vids look ugly.

But yes, given the fact that every complaint I voice is met with "We don't have the budget" or "We don't have the time" or "If we did that then we couldn't do this" it screams of being underfunded. It's a shame, there's plenty of people out there who would throw the right support behind an MMA game.

If both players move forward and are in pocket range(which happens all the time in EA UFC 3) there is that force field that has people looking as if they are sliding/moving but their actual position doesn't change. (as if they are on a treadmill)

Aside from that, most importantly at that range, they are not interacting with each other, by doing shoving/pushing/pulling animations or hands grabbing and controlling etc. They are just held away from each other by that force field, but i guess the force field is even more prevalent in EA UFC 3 due to the new and various movement animations, causing it to show even more.


I guess for the last one, we might see some changes in the next EA UFC game when they rework the clinch, because that pocket range interactive striking, is a stage after the stand-up tagging game & a stage before glued on clinching.

There is no moon walking due to an invisible force field in UFC 3 if you both just walk forward. I'm trying it right now, doesn't happen.

If you are in the pocket and still holding forward while throwing strikes, you are lunging forward in place, throwing strikes. This looks super weird.

Serious question: who are those people? Are you talking about other businesses?

Why do you act as if EA is the only company that will make sports games? What many will argue are the two best sports titles on the market, NBA 2K and MLB The Show, have in common is that neither are published by EA.

Your problem is thinking that they're doing you a favor by making this game. As if they didn't, no one else ever would. So you make excuses for mediocrity. And they may be valid excuses, who cares? It's still mediocrity. But much like they've done with Madden, they control 100% of the MMA gaming market so you either have to take what they give you or get nothing at all.
