Be it the sprawling and grappling art of Jiu Jitsu or the devastating striking art of kickboxing.ĭon’t think for one second it will be easy street. So pick the one that you feel will match your style of fighter. Each with its own membership fee of course (have you tried getting into a gym for free? Hint, it does not work).Įach gym also has its own focus on a martial art. You can even choose which gym you would like to hone your skills in. The big change this time though is how your created fighter can spend his or her time between each bout. Like the previous titles, you start at the very bottom and work your way up through the ranks from Ultimate Fighter to get to the UFC and then attempt to become the champ. On to a lighter and much more promising note for the series, we have the game’s ‘Career’ mode. This isn’t a dig at EA as much as it is at other mainstream companies who use this tactic to increase profit (but that’s not for here). Of course, other players may see differently but this is my honest opinion. I can’t really comment further on this mode as I couldn’t bring myself to persist with it other than, to me, it feels like a pay-to-play mobile app. I understand that you don’t HAVE to play that mode but in reality, it’s still part of a game you have purchased.
UFC 3 MICROTRANSACTIONS FULL
I’ve always held the sentiment that if you purchase a game at the full retail price you shouldn’t have to pay to progress. You start off with a team of four fighters that you can select in the relevant divisions the problem is that your fighters, along with the techniques and boosts that you can equip them with, come from cards that are only obtainable through random packs (think loot boxes in other titles) using both earned in-game currency and UFC Points that unfortunately you have to buy with real, hard earned cash. These can be found in the game’s ‘Ultimate Team’ mode. This is becoming more and more common in mainstream games and I can’t help but feel disappointed. One major downfall of the game that I have to get out of the way, however, are the dreaded ‘Micro-Transactions’. Again this doesn’t take away from the UFC experience, you can still sprawl with the best of them! The same goes for the stamina bar in the corner of the screen (which I haven’t been a fan of since the very first game), I still feel that I lost more stamina than my opponent even though I have had more strikes on target. For example how clunky it feels to transition between different positions. The groundwork in UFC 3 is pretty much exactly the same as in the previous installments, which isn’t a massive issue but it still has the same flaws as before. I can’t help but feel this may have something to do with the stamina bar but more on that later.īeing a ground game kind of guy I would have preferred EA to have done something new for this game.
This is only a minor flaw and has only happened a handful of times during my playthrough and definitely doesn’t take away from the overall experience, just me being picky. However, sometimes a jab may hit you in a non-threatening place and it would register as if they’d hit you with a freight train. One thing that I did find disappointing was at times when your opponent would hit you with a beautiful strike you would naturally hit the mat like a tonne of bricks. This change to the game makes everything feel so much smoother in the stand-up game and definitely takes a weight off. Personally I feel that this is an incredible improvement as it removes the need to press a combination of buttons at the same time when you are trying to defend, making the movements more life-like and natural than the previous counterparts, you can concentrate more on what your next move is going to be without worrying about taking an undeserved hit. This means that you are able to dodge and parry incoming strikes with ease and counter strike while moving.
These have been removed completely, Instead of being replaced with the life-like, slick swaying motion just by moving the right analog stick to the desired direction. Gone are the days where we would parry then counter the opponent’s sometimes unstoppable barrage of jabs and uppercuts, ending our highly anticipated title fight in mere seconds. I’d heard about this being one of the biggest selling points so naturally wanted to take a look. The newest installment sees vast improvements over the previous 2 titles, the biggest change being the newly overhauled striking system. UFC 3 is the latest title by EA Games in their famous EA SPORTS range, with none other than ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor making another cover appearance.īeing a big fan of these titles (and previous true-to-life combat sports games that haven’t been seen for many years) and giving that it’s been some time since it’s release, I was eager to go toe-to-toe with EA’s latest offering and see what all the fuss was about.
