Re: EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

I understand, it’s not about how easy and beatable it is, it’s something about u having to play in a specific way, to win, it kills the immersion and punish people who want to play a technical fight without exploit or abuse

Exactly this it’s the small things that add up like the fact I am almost forced to use the pull counter then uppercut as I can’t get away (safely) with just footwork with fighters like Machida, and I hate that.

I've been moving laterally a lot, instead of just firing back and I get right back to the center. The block is a lot stronger than I have given it credit for.

I definitely get it when it comes to styles like the jab feint body straight nonsense + etc etc.

But at the same time it's MMA, if you were to tell the guy you're fighting ' Please fight the way I want you to' , I'd laugh. Imagine telling RDA to lay on his back for Kevin after he had fought two wrestlers prior who had fought him the exact same way. RDA made adjustments and punished Kevin accordingly for his high pace in a great fight.


I don't like to throw too much honestly tbh.


I wonder if there could be a tuner to reduce the amount of stun from your block being broken and taking a strike?

Re: EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

what exactly makes porier so godlike in this game? is it just because the game mechanics (block break combo spam) heavily favors his style?

hes only rated like a b but easily seems like one of the best fighters in the game?

Poirier is a B+, the current UFC Lightweight Interim Champ and has a solid boxing combo and MT Combo list, great submissions and under the right hands is a threat to everybody.

His OTB however is concerning and on the ground he'll waste more LT stamina keeping you there. With regards to the As and A+s, ANY solid Khabib or RDA will give Poirier a rude awakening on the ground, fighting a Ferguson severely limits Poirier from being able to do anything on Top, and in a stamina battle a solid Ferguson player SHOULD Outlast and beat Poirier. Poirier's Ground stats are more than enough to Overwhelm Conor, but Conor's Striking is a problem for everyone in the division when paired with his OP Health Stats.


A Cerrone with good distance management and timing can mess Poirier up bad, same with Pettis.

Because he's already hands down the best fighter in LHW when used correctly. Unless you're talking about the character model.

There are treatment options that can help. Here at Button Spammers Retreat, we care for each and every one of our patients as if they are family. Upon entering our facility, you will be stripped nude and crawl to your dormitory, where you will be fed carrots and slightly overcooked chicken seasoned with Heroin. We also partake in our patented “carrot therapy”, where 3 nurses pour peanut butter on you before placing a carrot in your buttocks.

Our goal is to help all our patients achieve a state of happiness - true, genuine happiness - so that they see a life of hope without button mashing. We help them understand the destructive manners of their actions, and how it hurts not only themselves, but those around them. In the end, 90% of our patients see the light and find a hope they can live for. The other 10% simply find too much pleasure in the carrot therapy and choose to move in permanently.

Re: EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

Any of you ever play “Golden-Bassett-“ ? Whenever he grabbed me, lag would spike and slow the game down to where he could block any and everything. You know the lag where the “waiting for opponent” thing pops up in the bottom right? It was that bad, like the game was moving frame by frame. I know y’all take this game seriously, but to this extent? There’s a grown *** man somewhere that took the time out of his day to set this nonsense up only to still lose. Mental illness

Post the video and tag the devs on Twitter to watch the fight. Then report it through the EA Customer Support.

I can 100% confirm he is lag switching. The instant it went to grappling he went to 500 ping. I have a recording I'll upload when I get a chance.

Re: EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

Serious question:

Apart from striking, graphics and maybe online modes, in what aspects is the UFC series better than the UD series?

[VitoBurrito]

Re: EA UFC 3 Random Thoughts Thread

Even though the striking in ud3 was very robotic, hit detection was light years beyond ufc 3, punch the air and still get a ko, or clearly punch them on the shoulder and still... ko

Hard question, I don’t think that EA has other things better than undisputed

Your advice is much appreciated, I managed to break out of my spam dilemma, I stopped using lvl 5 boxers and went back to low rated fighters. If I fall back into it, I’ll for sure consider the carrot therapy
