He will likely use "its in the game".
Also, EA marketing has used the word "simulation" in past blogs for UFC 2 and I think maybe they did it once for 3.
With that said, claiming that you were "tricked" is ****ing laughable. Especially when it comes to 4.
There was a beta. There was EA Access where people could try the game for 5 dollars. There were tons of impressions when the game came out. There were multiple people like me who flat out told everyone that this game was not a hardcore simulation and that the devs never planned to make it one.
People couldnt help themselves and bought the game anyway. I wouldnt be shocked if sales wise UFC 4 was the most successful version in the franchise (just a guess based on how happy the devs seemed with the numbers).
People want change but keep giving EA $60 as a reward everytime they release a game. Its time to look in the damn mirror.
