The game reviews got it right: Great game. Much improved. Incomplete.

Yes, we deserve better than "Ultimate Team" features and BS.


People like you spending $300 on that crap is 99.9% of the dang problem man.

Yeah, and the stamina system is all kinds of wonky right now still. GPD said he didn't want standup to be a stamina battle (which it kind of should be), but I assume with that said, they will likely work out the kinks with these crazy stamina drains off the ground hopefully. I just hope it's not mainly a UT issue though.

Did gpd say he didn't want a stamina battle? Because thats exactly what they did with this game

I hope to hear gamedevs address the fact that the grappling mechanics will be the focus of major changes/improvements moving forward.

Stand up is all they talk about, and I get it, it’s the primary change that was made for this iteration, but if the game reviews reveal anything, it’s that the grapple mechanics are dragging the game down as a whole.

Got really hyped for career mode this year, but having actually no influence at what will happen kills replayabillity for me. I've spent at least €60 a year on EA games for the past 15 years (FIFA), but I'm definitely not going to pay full price for a unfinished product. I would have preferred that they took an extra year and just came up with a complete game. Probably the last time I was gonna get hyped for a new EA UFC game. Just dissapointed.

This is how I'm feeling as well. I went into it with a lot of hesitation and haven't been impressed. Same thing happened with NBA 2K which I have a shot this year after playing it every year since the original 18 years ago, and finally have it up after being burned too many times.

I gave this one a shot after seeing how much the game is changing and how dedicated the dev team seems to be, but there just doesn't seem to enough change to justify a whole new game, career mode is a big disappointment and nothing near what people were led to believe it was, and Ultimate Team seems like a complete mess and letdown so far.

I still feel the way I did after the beta, UFC 3 is definitely better than UFC 2, I'm just not sure it's $60 better.

The worst part is they didnt learn from themselves. They are getting close to EA MMA level striking but EA MMA ground game was light years ahead of ea ufc 3.

I bought ea ufc3, but it does not mean this game has worth the full price. this game is so much fun. that is why i paid the full price for ea ufc3 regardless to their rating. hopefully, they will revamp the clinch, takedown and ground for ea ufc4 like stand up at this year.
