Not to hijack this thread but can we PLEASE get a quality boxing game?

Do it!

I'm going to get it for a few reasons.

1- I need a fighting game and want and need to get my UFC fix.

2- I want to support you guys and am impressed your in here getting feedback and interacting with fans as well as I think you guys have done a tremendous job post release with updates.

Can I ask a question you probably can't answer but maybe it's more of a request. Will sliders and editing fighters styles be an option in the future? This way it could give users ability to change some flaws in gameplay like CPU over aggressiveness and stamina issues. I think in today's day and age of video games customization is only way to go to allow each individual opportunity to tweak game to their liking or idea of sim. Just my 2 cents and I'm sure it's been discussed already. Thanks for all your guys hard work! It go's a long way here!

In all seriousness though, this patch is the last one for core gameplay features and balance. Future patches won't have the same depth of changes as these last ones have had, they will be more along the lines of critical bug fixes.

So the gameplay experience we have now will be it for the most part until UFC 2.

There will still be more updates to come, more fighters and some other cool stuff I can't talk about, but for gameplay what you see now is what you get.

I'll let the other guys comment on the overall quality level as you probably don't want to hear that from me.

Are fighters still going to be released per month? Id be willing to pay for em too!

It's being discussed for sure, and the desire for sliders has been heard. That's really all I can say at this point, our feature set for the sequel is far from being decided upon.

A lot of people think sliders are easy, and in some ways they are but they really add a lot of complexity to testing.

Even something as simple as a sim mode and an arcade mode doubles the amount of testing needed to be done on a game, doubles the amount of tuning, all that stuff.

Giving access to arbitrary sliders gives the end user the ultimate freedom, but makes the testing matrix huge.

I'm not saying it won't be done, just giving insight into why it wasn't done for this game.

They really did a solid job on jabs and combinations. While I'm still not crazy about how stamina replenishes so quickly, you can really see the benefit in putting thoughtful combos together.

I can guarantee that the CPU and users stamina systems and tuning are identical.

So it either has to be the fighters used or the strategies employed.

Just played a match on pro offline and have to say the changes really make it feel a lot better.

Where are you at? It is on XBOX One. Check Twitch to see for yourself.

Re: EA Sports UFC Free Content Update #3 Available Now, Full Details Revealed

One thing I've noticed sine the update:

The game will start stuttering and chopping right before a stat overlay pops up and when it does eventually pop up it continues to chop and a time or two actually paused for a couple seconds until the stat overlay goes away. Every single fight so far and that would be about 15 fights since the update.

Very happy with this patch.


Now if only the same focus can be put on some of the AI's eccentricities.

Here is an end of fight image taken from an accelerated 3 round fight on normal difficulty. The CPU was Gus. He threw 295 punches and landed around 90.

This is his stamina and I think it is an indication of how flawed stamina is in this game. Not only is it too high, but at this level, and how fast the rate of stamina regeneration is, it makes for a very unrealistic scheme.

The main problem with this stamina flaw is you can't truly be a patient, disciplined fighter. The discipline of stamina training and patience is an essential in the sport of MMA.
