Holy goodness thanks for posting this! Just signed up, super excited! I hope they've reworked some of the ground transitions and the blocking animations! And I really wish they'd release it for PC :/

This is exciting. I am hoping most of the improvement was put into the ground game as the striking is mostly pretty good.

I still play 3 a lot so i'm up for a beta. Hopefully they made improvement on ground game as well as 'uniqueness' to each fighters.

Thanks a lot!

So we can pretty much conclude it will be a cross gen title right?

Not sure yet, but it should get proper backwards compatibility on PS5 atleast due to being a title released later than July. I don't know what Microsoft has said about the sorts.

Not sure if its getting a PS5 version with better graphics though. I suppose that would be cool.

Nice, hope I get in. Still play 3 now and then.

Edit: Cross-gen makes sense, I guess. The original EA UFC (2014) was released almost as a next-gen launch title iirc and then they released on a two-year cycle after that (2 - 2016, 3 - 2018), but haven't announced anything for 2020 that I know of. 2021 cross-gen title seems likely

Signed up as well, thank you.

UFC 3 is great with a few flaws, hopefully the fourth game corrects most of it, and it stays at 60fps on the X and Pro at least.

Thanks for this... i don't know how I missed it most of the day.

EA's UFC series has been my most played games this gen... eventually I get tired of Madden and other games... but never get bored of this. I try to play it almost every night before bed, after I play other games.

Too bad we never had a Tourny on Era.... or did I miss out? 🤔

Well it supported PS4Pro/X1X with 60fps modes...

Hopefully they have a 1080p 120fps mode for Next Gen ports, like Dirt has.

I wish they would use the licens to do a remake of UFC Tapout instead. The current product and roster is too watered-down to build an interesting single player experience around.

Yeah I would also like to see a PC version but it seems EA does not want to put some of their EA Sports titles on there. It is unfortunate.

I hope to see Pride FC in the game but they probably won't have it again...

Interesting. Sounds good. If I enjoy the game enough, that might be a worthwhile upgrade. Won't that cause issues competitively though? If some players obtain higher framerates?

Do the people still playing three play it online? I can't lie, I play a bunch of 3 but only when I feel like wailing on some AI in a career mode playthrough. I tend to do gimmick fighters at this point and take great pleasure in dismantling the AI in very specific ways.

Love that the beta sign up form has an option for "I'm not interested in the beta"

Yeah why isn't there a PC version? feels kinda weird it being a console exclusive in this day and age especially with a sports title.

Yeah some of the base PS4 and Xbox Owners were worried about the disadvantage for the 60fps Pro/X1X gamers... but hey let us have our fun with high frame rates dang it! Especially for this type of game.

As far as Pride FC... I loved it on PS1... but I also wouldn't mind if Yukes (who worked on the UFC games last gen, worked on a new MMA game.

OneFC's Twitter page was teasing a PS5 game.. but they may have been just trying to draw attention.

But we saw what Yukes could do last gen when the UFC let then expand the licence.

2012_11_29_17_57_03.jpg

Would love a Bellator, OneFC, Rizen, RoadFC, Invicta licensed game that let you travel and fight in different organizations.

EA MMA actually did that before they got the UFC license.

I agree, I always wanted a higher framerate for this franchise. I think its way too important in any kind of fighting game. The games were already had this set delay on strikes as it is, never really felt all that fluid.

Yeah Yukes nailed the presentation for Pride FC. That was amazing, commentary (especially Lenne Hardt doing the introductions) was excellent too. They did a great job.

I doubt we will ever see another MMA game that is not UFC featured but I'm up for trying them if it were to happen. That said, I've had them all and aside of the Pride FC you mentioned too (loved that approach where each fighter was unique in their style), they were pretty bad. Supremacy MMA and Bellator Onslaught lol.

Yeah I love playing with the AI that way as well, winning with body shots or leg shots is always cool.

But I mostly play online (not 'Ultimate fighter or team' or whatever it's called) but seasons with real fighters (roster of the UFC) and there's always 8-10k people playing online most of the time. Both the XB1 and PS4 versions are well populated.
It usually takes from 5 to 20 seconds to get into a game, and I would say ~15% of the games are laggy to a point that it's annoying, which is not too bad.

It seems logical to me that PS5 and XSX will get a patch to support 4k 60FPS. The hardware is powerful enough.

We will probably get all the information on Thursday

Noooooooo

This pretty much rules out a new Fight Night game then.

Man UFC games suck.
I like both but yeah I would have much rather seen a new Fight Night game. I cant believe we went through an entire gen without one.
They are putting Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in this new UFC game. I honestly doubt thats going to sway any boxing fans to buy these. Ugh.

I don't really know where the rumor started but it would not surprise me and I'm going to guess its legit. They like to put boxers in this game for some reason.

Anthony Joshua to Join Tyson Fury in New EA Game, Per Sources

Tyson Fury was previously rumored to be included in EA UFC 4, but now he may be joined by the only other heavyweight champion in boxing, Anthony Joshua.
Yeah they have the two main characters from Fight Night Champion in UFC3 so that might happen. Even from a marketing perspective makes sense to tease the fight between them in the future.

Just saw an interview with Dana White after last nights event where he pretty much confirmed Tyson Fury as a playable character.

Emmet vs Burgos was a good one this weekend!
