17 January 2020, EA Sports UFC 3, PS4:

Total players online:

22,322

Is it real?... I don’t remember so large numbers before. What is your max?


I think such high numbers of online players/activity in the game AFTER 2 YEARS from its release means the game is very good and the entire direction of its evolution is right (more authenticity, more realism, more SIM and deep gameplay, more hardcore). Good job, devs!

They’ve practically gave the game away for free. I’m sure it was on EA Access and it has been as low as 9 dollars.

No, this is not the reason of the online activity success.


1) the last post in this thread about online acitivity drop - was in April 2018.
Since that time, more than 10 gameplay updates and patches came out. Just look in my thread, how many gameplay mechanics were tuned and created since that time - the game has become different:

2) In Aug 2018 the games costs was 23.99$

This is an usual practice for EA games.
BUT
I dont remember so HUGE rising in online activity for any other sport game.

I think even ON RELEASE it was lower.
So, the price discount is not the main reason for sure.


3) EA Sports UFC 3 showed the great example of an EXCELLENT post-release support > more fan base trust for future.
- 22 patches and gameplay updates
- many Dev's inside mechanics explanations
- Live events supprt (the last one is now LEC 22).

The same as we were waiting for UFC 3 during UFC 2, but i dont remember high online that time.




P.S. Btw , today's max was approx 28,000 players online.

I’m still running into all the same people online and it still takes a while to find a match on ranked so I’m assuming most of these players are probably new and don’t even play online.

Online numbers are for people currently playing online modes or in online lobbies.
