UFC 4 was 3 years ago. We can wait to have a great game 3 years later, a lot of work.
But don't forget, it's EA...

[billybearham]

Visually, a massive improvement. But the gameplay mechanics are the EXACT same if not slower? I’m ngl you know they’re coping when they call ‘referee interactions’ a new feature..

EDIT: 2.1k, wow guys, lets start a movement !

[RagingCookie]

"It really gave me those feelings of stepping into the cage" I don't believe there's a script Daniel Cormier would not read for a dollar.

[CrazyUFCFighters]

That's all clear. We are waiting for UFC 6

[Gree_Zee]

Anyone wanna bet it’s pretty much UFC 4.5

[Borealis-]

How can Undisputed 3 still be the best UFC game 11 years later? The grappling alone on that game absolutely blows EAs games out of the water.

[gunmetalleech]

Pros: New Submissions, doctor stoppages, ref interactions, draws.

Cons: animations look almost identical to 4, Coach Davis (enough said), the ground and pound has not changed.

Someone should start a petition, UFC 5 graphics with undisputed controls WHY CANT EA UNDERSTAND THAT

[that.guy]

*Keep your expectations low and you will never be disappointed boi*

~ _Kratos probably_

[frankyboy]

Please make sure this is the last time EA makes a UFC game

[Oggre]

" As recycled as it gets ! " Do we think we re stupid EA ?

[tylergameplayroom]

Bring back UFC 2 online, this is the most worthy part, the best physics and movement mechanics.

[thelordofgaming]

Bro I actually really liked that seamless submission system looks so smooth and flowy

[solidsnake]

It looks like they spent the last 3 years porting the game to Frostbite and then focused their development time on flashy visuals that they can easily sell, while the gameplay and animation teams simply tweaked a few things from previous games and then called it done. I really hoped this would be the one to take a major step up, but all signs point to it being another hot, unsatisfying mess of an MMA game just like the rest of the EA UFC games since 2014. I mean, this video says it all… Better visuals, damage visuals/doctor stoppage, referee interactions, KO highlights… All of this is just presentation and for the most part was in Undisputed over a decade ago!!! Then they gloss over what should be the massively important submission system changes, which means that’s probably gonna be whack, while punches still lack any real impact, ground and pound looks terrible, there’s still an awful rag doll jankiness to reactions that makes it look and feel like you’re playing Human Fall Flat, none of the fighters feel unique, and it’s still using a load of old animations. Style vs Substance has been the mantra of this games development since EA took it over, and it’s just utterly depressing. I would give anything to see the series in the hands of another developer, but EA has the money to keep a hold of this forever, or at least until they can no longer be bothered to do the absolute bare minimum anymore and let it go. The UFC itself should be demanding more success from EA to retain the partnership (higher Metacritic score, higher sales, etc.) but it seems like everyone is somehow ok with this never becoming anything more than it is, and that in my opinion is a real f*cking tragedy.

[ThatGuy]

The standup looks almost exactly the same. 3 years of development and all they did for the striking was some minor variations….

[seanreilly]

Grappling has always been an issue. They always make something that looks great, but striking in the clinch and on the ground has always been an issue. Undisputed 3 always had striking system that has been very impactful. EA always made it limited. Hopefully that changes here as well as the hard impact slams. And the cage sits.

[rrickyyortegaa]

hopefully we get the beta a few days after this trailer 🙏🏽

[tiredBtired]

Conor Mcgregor did 1 fight shaved.
EA: "well, i guess Conor is bald forever now"

[danielnazario]

I wish they would make a game mode similar to the Universe mode in the WWE games. It would be so fun creating narratives in the mma world, plus adding like scouting and external leagues in. It would be cool

[Blesive]

Man I’m nervous for this based off the recent leaks but hoping we see something goodd
