Fat View Hungry Youtuber Targeting EA UFC 3 over MTs

Jim Sterling is trying to ruin this game's launch by trying to make it seem like the MTs in UT are breaking the entire game.

Sad, really, because the Devs did work hard on this game. But sadly, since he's a "big" Youtuber, people will jump on this hate bandwagon and ruin this game's launch.

With cards that expire this game has the potential to make a ton of money with MTs, I think.

I think Ultimate Team is dumb as hell, but the problem I have with UFC 3's MT coverage is that they talk like it's the only online game mode. Like, just ignore it.

In the aftermath of Battlefront 2, it doesn't really matter how much of it is true. The reality is that anything that doesn't sound good in terms of balance, is going to blow up. It was to be expected.

EA was never going to get rid of any of their Ultimate Team modes. It makes them way too much money for that. It's too bad for EA UFC though, because it will be the first Ultimate Team featuring game to release after what happened with Battlefront 2. And you can bet everyone is going to get up in arms about it.

I don't really like the whole "Fat View Hungry Youtuber" thing. Doesn't have to be mentioned at all. The guy fights a fair fight and if you at all dislike what EA was trying to do with Battlefront 2, it is guys like him that put a stop to it.

My dislike for microtransactions have nothing to do with the respect I have for the passionate developers that put this game together. It still has to be said though, I do wish Jim Sterling would fact check because I don't know how much of what was said in the original article is even true at all.

But yeah, that will bring EA UFC 3 a lot of bad press, which is unfortunate because the game even in an unfinished state, is a lot of fun already. I hope the Ultimate Team earnings are worth it. Because this could get ugly in the reviews.

My main issue with Jim's video is that he presents it in a way as if microtransactions run rampant throughout the game and that you're screwed if you don't pay money. He negates the fact that there is only one mode in the game where microtransactions even exist. You can still play multiple online modes WITHOUT microtransactions, unlike Battlefront 2 where microtransactions basically dominated everything other than the campaign. He's acting as if ranked championships is the mode that has microtransactions in it, rather than Ultimate Team.

He's also reading from an article that is complaining about the striking in UFC 3, saying that it's unrealistic and that UFC 2 had far better and far more realistic striking. So clearly the source has no idea what they're even talking about, never mind Jim.

The article they reference in this video was complete and total horse sh-- if you actually read it. The person who wrote it clearly didn't even play the Beta, and just viewed Reddit or something, and made a compilation of all the complaints in the first 48 hours of the beta, to completely TRASH the game. It was an obvious takedown piece because of UFC's association with EA.

Like go ahead, talk about Ultimate Team, to me it's stupid and I don't take any part in it or anything like it in any game. But going after the new gameplay was just weak, because they clearly didn't know what they were talking about. Can you play offline modes without spending money? I assume that you absolutely can.

But on the other hand...it's not like EA doesn't have it coming.

Yeah. The guy had no idea what he was talking about. Anything he said about the gameplay wasn't true at all. But, the big sites all picked up on his part about the microtransactions, and now they'll keep rolling with it too.

EA deserves it to be honest.

Re: Fat View Hungry Youtuber Targeting EA UFC 3 over MTs

Jesus, now we have pro-corporate dickwads trying to justify microtransactions. "Please screw me even harder." Jim Sterling is overweight. He's also a hell of a lot smarter than you and actually uses potent arguments to dismantle poor gaming practices.

I'll say it one more time for the butthurt people in the back, you're only okay with MTs if you use them to gain an edge or you're one fry short of a Happy Meal.

Re: Fat View Hungry Youtuber Targeting EA UFC 3 over MTs

Ranked and quick match don't have micro transactions. If you don't like them, don't buy any packs.

I think MT is a great idea to make money, but I've never bought one.

"Don't buy them", is not and will never be a viable answer. It's the solution that dolts with no proper argument will come up with.

"Don't play that game mode", is not and will never be a viable answer. Most people just don't get the point because they lack the ability to perceive nuance. The option to pay $100 to gain an edge over people who can't or won't buy packs will NEVER be okay. It's another form of class gatekeeping. So I have to avoid part of a $60 game because I can't afford to keep up with competition/don't want to support this business model? I don't have a problem personally because no amount of packs will close the skill gap between me and the average player, but fathers with families might not have the same free time as me.

I'm not even touching on the gambling aspect of loot packs which is unethical in-and-of-itself.

Re: Fat View Hungry Youtuber Targeting EA UFC 3 over MTs

The issue I have is that he states in his description that the game "revolves around microtransactions to an absurd degree"... Well it doesn't. One mode contains loot boxes and that's all. I feel like he's just part of the "**** EA" brigade, simply because loot boxes are present. He's over exaggerating.

Re: Fat View Hungry Youtuber Targeting EA UFC 3 over MTs

I made a topic thread on this a couple days ago, because I Purchased Star Wars battlefront and was really dissatisfied with the tactic they pulled , now if you look up that thread I’m not against pay to play it is completely someone’s prerogative to pay for skins better moves etc. and if you have the finances so be it my problem is the loot box system it’s basically like putting money into a jackpot box pushing the lever and hoping you’ll get something worth paying for! It truly is a direct form of gambling if you’re going to pay money for an Apple you should get an Apple if you pay to get a banana then you should get a banana however what EA does is tempt you with you might get an Apple you might get a banana or you might get neither and you are being string along with these packs that give you barely what you pay for and you’re stuck with a bunch of duplicates!?!
I can care less if someone has an overpowered fighter because he paid for it just keep him in a lobby with just overpowered fighters matchmaking is the key ,but do not put a jackpot box system basically gambling and the biggest insult is that some of what you pay for you don’t even get to keep permanently it has a expiration date !
All I ask is for EA to quit this nonsense and be honest let the game represent itself on its core values the game play and if you are going to add micro transactions keep it fair if we pay for something make it permanent don’t exploit those who feed you your consumers.
I don’t agree with what the guy saying in the video completely he sounds annoying as hell...
Because I believe if you have the money you have the right spend The way you feel like... give us our moneys worth.

I'm really curious, do you think packs of Yugioh or MTG cards are gambling?

And not buying them is literally all any given individual can do about them,because I'm not going to not buy a game I enjoy because there's a feature I don't like in a game mode I don't play.
