At this point I'm at a hard nahhhh for preordering/buying UFC 4.
I know i'm not the only one in this position, so I'm curious, what would it take for you to end up buying the game?
For me, first off I'll go out of my way to buy this on the secondary market. I don't think EA deserves any of my money, even if I am only 1 person. Now I know someone is gonna say they will still get my data and add to the player count numbers and whatnot, but if they really are reading into detailed "data" then they will clearly see a large number of players(including myself) completely ignoring all this goofy, cartoon cosmetic nonsense. So that data will actually be important, and relevant for them to see.
Now as far as what it will take for me to make a purchase...
-Really what I want to see is a dramatically increased roster. It's actually shocking how dated, and limited the roster is at launch, AGAIN, just like UFC 3. UFC 3 came out with an already outdated roster, and UFC 4 is borderline the same thing. So I'm very curious to see what kind of additional content they plan on releasing as far as more fighters go, because this roster severely needs it. There's easily 20+ fighters I could add to the game right off the jump, and that's not even going into the deep cuts yet.
-Unlocking these CAF restrictions is pretty important also. As someone who likes to spend hours creating true to life creations of real life fighters, it's extremely disappointing that all we got was a bunch of cartoon hair... and then they actually added limitations on building real life fighters. Again, just shocking decisions from EA here, not only did they add a bunch of goofy nonsense, but they actually made it borderline impossible to create realistic, authentic fighters, with stats and moves the fighter would actually use. Just baffling decision making IMO.
-A toggle for Backyard and Kumite arenas for Quick Fight, and online matches. I have absolutely ZERO interest in fighting in some extremely goofy Mortal Kombat looking arena, with some zany, silly sound effects, in my UFC/MMA game. I also have ZERO interest in fighting in some Street Beefs looking backyard cage, with a shoddy denim texture placed over my fighters shorts. Give me a break. Please, just no.
-From what I've seen, it's still a 150+ strikes a round spam fest, so some adjustments to stamina like people have been asking for for 4 games straight now would be nice.....
There's a lot that annoys me about this game, even without playing it. And there's a lot more I wanted to see, and could ask for, but at a bare minimum this is what I really want to see. It's just crazy that we waited for over 2 years, and this is what we got. Really crazy stuff. But to even justify a used game purchase, I'll need to see some of these things addressed... But we'll see what happens.
