EA Sports UFC Will Not Be an Annual Title, Plenty of Free DLC Roster Updates Coming

Free roster updates = awesome

As far as not being an annual release I'm a bit disappointed, especially since this game is going to be a bit bare bones, both in and out of the octagon. I would almost prefer that they delay the release for another few months so they can add things like an Fighter Share, Event Mode, the option to adjust game speed, Doctor Stoppages, the ability to catch kicks, etc.

I mean, I'm certainly ready for another UFC game. However, I'm looking for one that can rival the time I had with UFC 3 and unless this one completely knocks my socks off with it's gameplay, then I don't know if it's going to get the play time that I spent with UFC 3..... And if it doesn't then I'm in for another looonnng wait.

UFC 3 was great and has had excellent longevity, but now it's time for a new king, and hopefully EA UFC will be it.

I can't see TJ being in on day one but hopefully not long after.

Since Hayes mentioned him specifically, I'll put him in at a 85% chance he's a day one DLC.

Definitely excited for this game, almost as much excitement as The Show brought with it, at least for me....but it is missing some key elements of MMA that most in-depth fans will notice are missing and will be very displeased waiting 2 years for.

Functions such as performing feints, catching strikes, standing submissions, doctor/cut stoppages, and fighter share are definitely elements that should be key to any MMA game. For me, the inability to perform any type of feint is the biggest eye-opener, especially since this is a very fundamental aspect of any combat sport, let alone MMA. I utilized this greatly in UFC Undisputed 3, and it will definitely feel like a key aspect of game play is missing without the ability to feint.

Fighter share was a legal decision. They didn't want to have to monitor peiple posting licensed enteties likenesses like Rocky Balboa, Floyd Mayweather, and rival orgs Fighters. And have to keep taking them down so they don't get sued.

That's a bogus excuse. I can go on FNC and download Mayweather, Balboa, etc with no problem. They can't do anything to someone that creates a guy in the game, since EA didn't license him and had nothing to do with it.

They shouldn't be able to do anything about someone making a CAF but I don't think they want to open themselves up to the potential of legal action in the future.

It's a safe, if a bit of an unpopular decision which I think will make sense.

No way that's true, the MLB the Show team doesn't have the licence for minor league players, so all of the minor league players are fake generated guys.

But there is a roster vault, and every year guys on OS make a roster with all of the real life minor league players and upload it to the vault. No problem.
