UFC 3 is a great game! However, I'm coming to realise, that unless I play almost everyday, I'm not able to stay sharp enough to actually have fun online. People will always find a way to cheese the otherwise phenomenal gameplay mechanics, thus making it REALLY tiresome playing online.
UFC 4 first and foremost needs to reinvent the ground and clinch game, to make it more dynamic, chaotic etc. Faking transitions, and lying stationary in a position, should really not be a thing... There needs to be an element of "fight" in the grappling.
Second on my wish list though. Make it possible to go offline and actually have fun. Career mode was alright the first playthrough, but training camps are tedious, story is way too scripted, and you fight the same fighters over and over. Belt doesn't change hands, there's no new prospects coming through and developing. The best fighters, who have close to unbeaten records, there's no logic behind the other fighters' wins and losses (Jones having 35 wins and 15 losses but still being ranked top 5). A guy like Jones should win almost all of his fights. Guys should retire, so you don't fight 40-50-something year olds...
I've enjoyed tournament mode, but make an enjoyable, customisable career mode, where you feel like having actual control. Being able to pick the moves yourself, without having to change camp, or learning a bunch of useless moves in order to get a level 1 roundhouse...
Also, Universe Mode would be SICK, if done right!
