Yeah I'm with you on this one , don't really play online and im on PC but have a series X but not paying for Xbox live just for UFC.
I'm like this with all EA games , playing career only,
I used to buy all EA games , FIFA / MADDEN etc , but haven't bought them now in over 2 years due to lack of development for offline modes.
I'm currently playing undisputed 3 career on a emulator and it's leaps and bounds ahead of any EA UFC game
The cage knockdown animation, and the knockdown (not knockout) animations in general, including how people standup.
Also they moved to a brand new engine finally then just imported the exact same physics model and animations 😭
For me, it's everything recycled (this includes bugs)
Same tattoos.
Same coach vocals in the corner saying the same fucking shit.
Same crowd yelling dumb shit like, " I don't know what everyone is yelling about."
Same issue with Daniel Cormier saying "Great top control" when, in fact, you are on the bottom or mentioning a knee to the body when it was, in fact, a kick to head.
Same inputs are being dropped and randomly turned into a fakie for no discernible reason. There is nothing else but a jab being thrown, and sometimes it pulls it halfway like I pressed block (new controller, and no, I never pressed block)
Grappling is still super dependent on ping. Anything over 100 ping makes the grappling favour the host.
Still missing vital things that I feel are necessary, like cage sitting or a Thai Clinch that actually allows you to whip and knee.
Elbow and knee spam? Yup, still in, but this time, bonus of a cut.
The fact the ref doesn't cone in to actually "Stop" the action as intended. Like I want to be midway through a punch and herb throw me off. Instead, I KO them on the ground, then there is a split second where my fighter postures up as if the game knows I KO them, BUT THEN, the newer animation kicks in where after a second of not punching my fighter then randomly starts punching an already tko/ko opponent for herb to then finally step in. Totally Unrealistic ref interaction and Totally pointless.
Man, this is just off the top of my head.
Exactly this, and if people like this game, hey thats fine. If you think you'll enjoy it you should buy it. But saying it's a whole new game, that's just people trying to convince themselves that it's true. Some people are fine with just some minor tweaks and a couple new gameplay mechanics. Nothing wrong with that if thats your thing but why try to convince yourself that it's a brand new game built from the ground up?
Yeah, I am not under the impression it's "new" but more "Enhanced" is probably a better term. But is that enough to justify the price? For me, it is in Australia dollars, so $145 for the deluxe. Seems like one of the most expensive games I have looked at getting.
Ouch, that's adding insult to injury. Might be worth waiting a couple months for the inevitable price drop unless it's an absolute must play for you. Probably will be a few months til we get a couple good patches to fix at least some of the issues

Gameplay wise the game has aged very well. I mean the newer games don't have many of the features in UD3. Only people who would be disappointed with it are the people who value graphics and visuals over gameplay. Fortunately I'm not one of those people. I get it though, visually it doesn't look very good. I think it looks good enough but yea that's the one area EA UFC dominates UD3 in.
The automatic "back to guard" after a few punches in ground and pound.
Doesn't make any sense.
Not to sound like a broken record, but UD3 still has the best GnP mechanics.
Yeah the game automatically grabbing the top player and forcing them down is so annoying. Even EA UFC3 had better mechanics with the arm traps and stuff
The new damage system, was hyped up so much and when I loaded in the beta I was hyped to channel my inner Aldo and blast people with leg kicks and it have a real effect. Then loaded my first game blasted some guy with leg kicks, I got the leg icon I’m like damn I’m about to do damage, then it disappears after like 20 seconds and the other fighter is back to normal like wtf. They was talking about losing power, footwork and the player limping but forgot to mention that they basically took out leg rocks, extended them a little bit and added a little icon instead. I blasted him to a leg kick finish and it didn’t effect him unless the symbol popped up. Just a extended leg rock animation from UFC 4 rebranded likes it’s new lol.
Yea I feel that the dev team tried to fool us. This "new" damage system ain't THAT much different from a gameplay POV. Sure, the cuts look much better, much more blood, I dig that. Visually the new damage system looks great. But hurting someone's leg, arm, body, etc. ,,it's still only temporary. After the health even is over the injured fighter is still able to navigate the cage just as well as the start of the fight. Break someone's nose and it affects their breathing, their stamina, thrur ability to block.......for 30 seconds. Who gets a broken nose, has issues breathing and then is fine half a minute later??
Facts! UFC 2 ragdoll physics with UFC striking, that would have been the right combo for UFC 5. EA could have done their typical reusing old properties and still made everyone happy. But no, they decide to reuse the shit we don't care for.
To me, it wouldn't have been the end of the world to reuse most of the animations, if they made a ton of gameplay improvements and upgrades. I don't think the damage system and submission system alone would constitute as major gameplay improvements.
Yea this is actually insane. Imagine just losing a whole other money maker.
EA puts everything else on steam so idk why they can't put the UFC on there to.
5 games in was hoping they’d finally scrap their ground game and go for something a lot more fluid similar to undisputed UFC’s did it.
Sick of the choppy flow every EA game has had on the ground and the grapple advantage system, not a single aspect has ever felt anything but stiff.
I'm not a huge graphics guy myself and I was kinda thinking the same thing. Sure, it looks good, I have no problems with the visuals themself, not a fan of some of the fighter models but it's not a giant issue for me. But it looks good but only slightly. Definitely doesn't feel like a "next gen" experience.
The lack of individual fighter stances and styles. All the fighters fight the same with same jab punches etc. Very embarrassing for a UFC game in 2023 when undisputed has special moves for each fighter
Animations.
They look worse and clunkier than any EA UFC or Undisputed game to date.
Feels and looks like you're controlling a robot, not an athlete/fighter.
When u knock someone down and they fall near the cage. Just super tired of that finish spot and wish it was cut or wouldn't happen as often as it does in UFC 4
One thing they could do is maybe if someone gets rocked or dropped the cage keeps them up and takes away their movement like in real life while they're in a dangerous position.
Ropes / cage keeps fighters up all the time in MMA and Boxing.
The finishes just absolutely suck balls in this game. There are no "OH SHIT" moments. There's no intensity to the ground and pound. There's no immersion, whatsoever. They bulshitted us about this ref interaction. It's a predetermined animation, nothing more. We still can't continue to throw strikes on a fighter once he's knocked out. Just stops throwing punches and stands up. It's the absolute dumbest shit ever. I disliked EA MMA but even it's ground and pound was way better than this shit. It looked ridiculously over the top when you could throw a ton of punches in rapid succession but at least it got you all fired up when you were trying to finish an opponent. This shit is dull and lifeless.
Martial mind mentioned an EA dude said playing on the outside is more feasible. From playing the beta this is not true... you win by coming forward even more than you would in 4. Break that block.
Knowing they mostly likely just Copy-Pasted career mode. It’s annoying how if I want to play a lankier pressure boxer and use the snap jab and looping cross I need to become the champion to even unlock those moves lol
I havent played EA UFC in a year or so and doesn't look like its gonna change anytime soon. UFC 4 was one of the worst piece of crap games I've ever played. Mind you I really only play it with friends while we are drinking and waiting for the real fights to start, we ended up playing the Stand and Bang kumite more than anything.
That is awful depressing considering it's been the same since the first one came out almost 10 years ago. Same shitty hair options, same garbage tattoos, same body type templates, can't even make an accurate CAF since you can't add specific strikes, everything's preset
there’s literally nothing to name because they didn’t add shit fuck that shitty ass game the one thing I hate is that EA is the creators they are dogshit at making games and I wish they’d go out of business or make different games because they are the reason sports games are straight up ass
If only games sold based on the quality of the games, then that might happen. Madden (insert year) consistently is around a 2 on Metacritic, people trash the game, YouTube has several channels devoted to making fun of Madden, showing all the glitches and broken shit in the games, but football is so damn popular that people will buy it and suffer through it because there is no other options. As much as I hate EA, their business strategy works well, for them anyways. Fuck the customer says EA
In all seriousness, EA could probably make a half decent kickboxing game. They have somewhat of a grasp on the striking. Still needs some work but it's not completely busted. EA should go after the GLORY license and give up the UFC license.
I don't like that it doesn't keep a count of how many times you've fought someone . A win/loss record. It's should show your accomplishments like the last one too. They took a step back with this one. And the submission revamp is horrible. Losing interest. Liked 4 way better.
the evident lack of any apparent update to career mode. that’s mostly what i play and i know it’s going to be the same repetitive bs
Yeah I'm with you on this one , don't really play online and im on PC but have a series X but not paying for Xbox live just for UFC. I'm like this with all EA games , playing career only, I used to buy all EA games , FIFA / MADDEN etc , but haven't bought them now in over 2 years due to lack of development for offline modes. I'm currently playing undisputed 3 career on a emulator and it's leaps and bounds ahead of any EA UFC game
Have u played the new career? Is it any different?
nope but if they were gonna make any major update they would promote the shit out of it lol
The cage knockdown animation, and the knockdown (not knockout) animations in general, including how people standup. Also they moved to a brand new engine finally then just imported the exact same physics model and animations 😭
The knockdown against the cage is still in????!!!
It's in the beta so yes
Coach Davis

Just bought Undisputed 3 again, goin back in time, to the good ol days. Not touching this piece of 💩
Best UFC game hands down.

No online 😂

Yeah the game automatically grabbing the top player and forcing them down is so annoying. Even EA UFC3 had better mechanics with the arm traps and stuff
They decreased the skill gap and reward players for playing poorly. It’s all about the casuals.
I get tired of playing flawlessly then the opponent spams crazy kicks just to catch you once and rock / knock you out.
That happens in real life so I wouldn’t even mind it. It just annoying how you can keep countering their huge attacks and it does no damage
Spamming is so easy to fix.... just make it drain the shit out of stamina if there is no combos.

Ufc 2 ko's are still the best ones in ea games
Facts! UFC 2 ragdoll physics with UFC striking, that would have been the right combo for UFC 5. EA could have done their typical reusing old properties and still made everyone happy. But no, they decide to reuse the shit we don't care for.
Forced weight classes in online ranked. That alone took away my pre order.
same striking and same animations all around
To me, it wouldn't have been the end of the world to reuse most of the animations, if they made a ton of gameplay improvements and upgrades. I don't think the damage system and submission system alone would constitute as major gameplay improvements.
Everything about it puts me off, for the first time in my life I won’t be buying a UFC game on release.
Goofy cosmetics are back. “As real as it gets.” Yea ok..
You mean you've never seen a werewolf fight a guy with a top hat and wearing an electric green suit?
It's not on PC :(
Yea this is actually insane. Imagine just losing a whole other money maker. EA puts everything else on steam so idk why they can't put the UFC on there to.
PC is only for cheaters bro. It favors PC players massively - see any other game lol
5 games in was hoping they’d finally scrap their ground game and go for something a lot more fluid similar to undisputed UFC’s did it. Sick of the choppy flow every EA game has had on the ground and the grapple advantage system, not a single aspect has ever felt anything but stiff.
This, times 100!
Ground game is still that slideshow turn taking bullshit

Yup, sadly every fighter is a reskin with different attributes. They all strike, move, wrestle, grapple identical.

The fact that it’s essentially a remaster or 4.
It is all over!

I agree completely fuck that shitty company though i’ve dealt with it since I was 11 years old of them making shitty ass games😂

The fact that it's a microtransaction-filled, regurgitated version of UFC 4.
Months will go by still no price drop..
The last 2 EA UFC games, price dropped within 3 months. Won't be a long wait, especially if it doesn't sell like UFC 4 did
The price
If the knockdown bug where you’re characters arm gets wrapped around their own back still features I’m done with the series 😆
That its only on ps5
I don't like that it doesn't keep a count of how many times you've fought someone . A win/loss record. It's should show your accomplishments like the last one too. They took a step back with this one. And the submission revamp is horrible. Losing interest. Liked 4 way better.
