Re: EA UFC 3 Roster

Alot of strange choices:

- No Woodley, Barnett, Matt Brown, TJ Grant or Moraga.
- Barry over Miocic/Barnett
- Bowles over Dillashaw and Assuncao (2 and 4 in the division) or Mizugaki
- Pascal Krauss over Woodley/Brown/Kim/Nelson
- Aldo at LW (where he never fought) but no GSP at MW.

Re: EA UFC 3 Roster

There are definitely some glaring omissions, but hopefully we get a good amount of DLC.

Re: EA UFC 3 Roster

I'm not liking Korean Zombie at LW, but other then that, this list is alright. I'm hoping for some DLC with Woodley and Barnett. I guess you could say I'm impressed.

EDIT: Korean Zombie at FW!

Re: EA UFC 3 Roster

Biggest snubs for me are:

Barnett
Miocic
Woodley
Lombard
Matt Brown
Diego Sanchez
Grant
Dos Anjos
TJ Dillashaw
and
John Dodson


And to a lesser extent guys like
Struve
Mitrone
Tim Kennedy
Tim Boetsch
Erick Silva
Marquardt
Alves (which I can understand since he wasn't active until recently)
Myles Jury
Evan Dunham
Gomi
and
Max Holloway


There's still about 20-25 other guys that I'd love to see as well. The Edson Barboza, Micheal Johnson, Stephen Thompson, Bobby Green, etc of the world. Overall, I think it's a good list that can certainly be improved upon with DLC, however I'm hoping that the CAF system is up to par, so that I can get the experience that I want (that I need ) from this game.

I need at least 50 CAF slots. That plus the 10-15 DLC fighters will make it esy for me to get all of the fighers I need.

Good catch. Forgot about Diego.

Re: EA UFC 3 Roster

I think Sanchez is in the game as well. This is a quote directly from the Submission Radio guys (They made this roster reveal video).

"SO......we used a voice recorder to go over and note everybody who was in the game...HOWEVER when I went over the recordings later on, I realised that we seemed to have skipped over the LW division. don't ask why, we just went full *. With the LW division i had to go off memory and in the recordings I only mentioned certain people who I was really surprised about such as KZ and Jose Aldo being in LW. This post reminded me that TJ GRANT IS IN THE GAME! I'm pretty sure Diego is too, but don't quote me on that. The other divisions are what they are. No Tyron Woodley, no hector, no Matt brown, no DHK etc.. The build that we played was 2 and a half weeks old, but 2 be honest I sincerely doubt that they added any characters in those last 2 weeks. "

Re: EA Sports UFC Complete Roster and Arenas Revealed

Happy about the number of arenas in the game but wish they wouldve replaced Honda Center with a European arena like 02 in London or a big stadium like Rogers Center. No need for two LA based arenas.

Not a UFC fan so I can't speak to any omissions, but for a fighting game this roster is huge. Biggest I've seen since Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

UFC undisputed 3's roster was bigger actually. But that can be forgiven if the game PLAYS well, and the video released today did not look that bad at all. trying to over extend combos led to fighters tiring temporarily, I hope doing that too often will drain permanent stamina as well.

Re: EA Sports UFC Complete Roster and Arenas Revealed

Not a UFC fan so I can't speak to any omissions, but for a fighting game this roster is huge. Biggest I've seen since Mortal Kombat Armageddon.

UFC 3 had about 130 UFC fighters that number includes the 15 they added as DLC. Also it didn't have the Flyweight and Women's division either, therefore each weightclass in UFC 3 had a lot more depth.

Those numbers also do not include the PRIDE roster which featured around another 24-25 fighters (not including the duplicates from the UFC roster). By my unofficial count UFC 3 had around 155 fighters whereas (also by my unofficial count) EA UFC has around 97-98 (not including DLC additions, of course).

Since there is no PRIDE mode and we're strictly talking about the UFC, then that's about 30-33 less fighters in 2 more divisions. While it is somewhat disappointing, I can't be too upset since it's their first iteration.

I'm just hoping that a) the CAF is decent and b) that they churn out plenty of new fighters via DLC. I know some people don't care about the lower level fighters because they mainly play online and use the best guys or their CAF's. However, with the way I play the bigger the roster the better. I don't care if their adding some of the lowest of the low guys with DLC. I'll be in full on "Shut Up and Take My Money" mode just so I can round out my roster.
