Yearly release

[johnmangala]

How long before this series becomes a yearly release like most other sports titles, if ever?

~EA UFC 2020 imo.

Re: Yearly release

I would say after we have a good functioning well balanced game so atm (without hating on anyone...) we're years away from a yearly game, IF EVER!

Focus of UFC 4 is and should be on the ground/clinch game and takedown game... even though it was a good improvement from UFC 1 it's still not good enough, everything is just a big waiting and bating game atm. Stats > Skill.

Re: Yearly release

No, **** a yearly release. EA needs to wake up and adopt Ubisoft's current model of giving loads of support to their games post-launch. They had disasters on their hands with Siege, For Honor, The Division, and through giving support they managed to turn all of them around into successes and decent games. Even the AC franchise, they recently said they're not even working on the next game they're devoting their resources to Origins. They managed to turn their brand identity around in the last few years, which is something EA games drastically needs to do at this point.

Yearly release

Yea, be careful what you wish for. Fans of most of the other sports games have begged for years for a two year dev cycle but won’t get it because of licensing agreements with the respective sports.

Re: Yearly release

I feel once the foundation is in place, the game can move to a yearly release.

No thanks - the churn on the roster would be horrific.

Exactly

I would rather wait one year for roster updates than 2.

Re: Yearly release

Would be a great way to destroy the playerbase on these games.

Re: Yearly release

Fifa is the most successful sports game and is a yearly release. Why didn't that destroy their player base? If anything it's increased.

Re: Yearly release

Bi- annual release. Quarterly patches for first 18 months if possible, if not 12 months will work

Throw in some paid content. Legends pack for $5, Up and comers pack for $5, prime versions of fighters for $20.

This ain't fifa, or even close. (EA UFC rules and FIFA drools) I don't care for football or whatever it's called this decade.

Do you mean 2 year release or a 2x in a year, because that's what bi annual means.

I had a little clonazepam today, my bad. (Prescribed) Every two years Johnny! My bad.

Definitely isn't fifa. There will be fifa 25, without a doubt . Cant be sure we will even get to EA UFC 5.
