   The striking is excellent as usual but something must be done about the groundgame for ea ufc 3. For me, the previous quarter circle, advancing position system worked much better than this wait-for-a-box-to-pick-a-position debacle they went with this year.
   
   What also needs work is the unique fighters' styles of throwing punches, kicks etc. I know it's difficult with such a large roster but some of them have the exactly the same moves which gives it a little bit of a copy-paste vibe at times, which is sad as so many of these fighters are very different individuals with varying skillsets.
   
   However, like I said I enjoyed the game a lot despite it's flaws. Landing a ko shot with a flying knee or pefectly timed superman puch is a brilliantly satisfying experience and the difrerent modes on offer (particularly live events) has seen me dip into this game regularly.
   
   Also, there's nothing quite like going against your most disliked fighter and just beating the living snot out of them. Even if a real event doesn't play out to your satisfaction, digitally recreating it so it ends how you want is great fun, even if if some may have to lower the difficulty at first to achieve their desired outcome.
   
   Altogether now "IIIIIIIIIIITS TIME!......."… Expand

   Как файтинг в компании друзей - очень даже.
   Как онлайновый спортсимулятор - днище.

   EA Sports pre determined/rigged matches strike again (in my opinion)..
   
   After spending the past few weeks playing UFC 2, and as a massiveEA Sports pre determined/rigged matches strike again (in my opinion)..
   
   After spending the past few weeks playing UFC 2, and as a massive MMA fan, I can't help but feel underwhelmed by what EA Sports has offered this time round. Sure, it's an improvement on the last game, but still ends up in practically all fights being decided by holding your opponent on the floor and hitting them with sloppy ground and pound.
   I've spoken to friends before who feel EA Sports games (like FIFA), can be very much pre determined by the AI and your opponent will change their style to keep you invested in the game...
   
   Sucking on the game? Got a streak of 3 losses on the bounce? You'll somehow be able to knock Conor Mcgregor out within 20 seconds in your next fight, just to give you a glimmer of hope to keep pushing on and playing the game.
   
   Beating everyone in your path on career mode? Well you'll soon see your attacking power completely diminish and every opponent you come across will be an unstoppable monster. No matter what you do or try against your opponent, sometimes it feels like they are destined to smash you to bits. And believe me, it's not sour grapes that I can't win every fight, like MMA in real life I'm prepared to take losses on my record, but I can't help but feel the game does slightly 'adapt' depending on your progress throughout the game. I also understand that in regular, real life MMA, ANYTHNG can happen. Fights can be over in less than 20 seconds, but UFC2 never really seems to capture this 'real' feeling, resulting in repetetive fights no matter what weight class you choose. Reversals and counters don't really seem to work, but your AI opponent can pull them off with such simple ease whilst popping off shots to the head and attempting submissions.
   
   On career mode with my created fighter, I lost 3 straight fights on the bounce and got so frustrated that I considered not playing the game ever again. Decided to have one more fight (against a fighter rated 100, I was rated 85), and surprise surprise... I won within 30 seconds. Maybe coincidence, but these things occured too often for me to believe that it's to do with the way I fight and my skill level.
   
   Also, after a while the game does start to feel extremely repetitive. Punch, block, kick, block, opponent attempts 100 take downs, opponent clinches you 100 times, opponent tries to tap you out, opponent top mounts you in the ground and pound and wins. My perks for flash knockdowns are completely upgraded and in at least 30 fights on my career I must've knocked someone clean out from standing position maybe once or twice, the rest of the time fights are spent holding my opponent on the floor and trying to get punches and elbows from the mount. The vast majority of matches are only won in this position, regardless of how good you are at submitting your opponent or striking from a standing position.
   
   All in all, I found the early parts of career mode to be exciting, The Ultimate Fighter bits when you start the game are really cool, and in the early stages of career you really feel a sense of excitement as you move up the ranks towards a title shot. Get yourself in the top spot in your weight division though, and that's where the pre-determined fights really feel like they're starting to come in.
   
   Knockout Mode is completely lacklustre, it tries to sell itself as a great party game to play against your friends which isn't true, all you have to do is throw blind punches and kicks and hope some of them connect. Ultimate Team is pointless and feels like a complete cash grab, online mode isn't worth doing either unless you want your frustration levels elevated further...
   
   The positives for me was that the graphics really are fantastic, the walk down to the octagon feels realistic with the 'tale of the tape' stuff being pretty accurate. The commentary is good and doesn't sound too repetitive. The roster is also stacked with fighters from all weight divisions, including a solid roster of female fighters to choose from.
   
   In conclusion I wouldn't reccomend this game to any avid MMA fan, the older games (Undisputed) were much better back in the day but I can imagine them to feel dated now if I went back to them. I would wait until the price of this game drops dramatically (just like the first EA UFC did after a few months) before checking it out. Don't bother paying full price like I did...… Expand

   A terrible game that is almost has no reason worth buying. Unfortunately, it's basically the only MMA game on the market. And, boy, is itA terrible game that is almost has no reason worth buying. Unfortunately, it's basically the only MMA game on the market. And, boy, is it broken.
   PROS
   + Great graphics. All of the fighter's models are crazy and down to the last detail.
   + You can create up to 20 fighters and totally customize them to look how you want them to.
   + Fighting against friends and others is fun. (The AI is where the cheese comes in.)
   + The roster is HUGE. You will definitely be able to find a fighter that seems to almost be tailored for your play-style.
   CONS
   - Basically the entirety of the gameplay. Yeah, it's better than the first game, but that literally amounts to nothing.
   - You are vulnerable fighter - like you should be; one clean shot and you're rocked (which is a good thing). Where this doesn't workout is when you're facing the AI (in either career or fight now), they are a hyper-immortal warrior from planet Saiyan. In career mode I landed 87 strikes to the opponents 31; almost all of my 87 strikes were to the head, and I had not gotten a single knockdown. Entering the third round they immediately caught me with ONE body kick and the fight was over. You do not get this knockout privilege when fighting AI, only others real people in online or 2P.
   - The ground game is broken. Your opponent can become unstoppable by faking transitions (and so can you), you no longer flick one direction and lose your own stamina like in the first game, instead you have to correctly guess what transition they're going for - which is totally possible to learn, but the learning curve is ridiculous and the main complaint I see on the game (which means it isn't good if 90% of everyone says it sucks).
   - There are attacks in the clinch that do ridiculous amounts of damage, and some LITERALLY can NOT be defended against. It also implicates the awful transition system.
   - If your opponent has faster striking stats than you, you're basically doomed on the feet unless you are drastically more skilled than them in the first place.
   - When fighting the AI, they will frequently interrupt your combos with either a straight or jab, if you think you can do the same to their combos, you are mistaken.
   - The career mode is boring, and your "training camps" is usually just an excuse for the game to lower your overall when going into a fight due to injuries. (Note: you will NEVER face an injured opponent, because you are Mr. Glass and everyone else is Bruce Willis.)
   - Knockdowns are plenty (when facing other players), and while it is exciting, you are rarely able to get the walk-away finish that you crave every once-in-a-while. You usually have to finish them on the ground or they'll hop back-up most of the time.
   - The tutorial consists of a couple of slides that tell you how to do something in the most simplistic, understated way. You have to learn through hours-upon-hours of playing by yourself, because the game sure isn't going to tell you anything.
   If you're looking for a party game with friends or for some competitive online play and you have an overabundance of free time to learn how to play, this is a good game. But only a $20-worth good game. Get used to that massive learning curve, because it will more than likely cause you to quit the game in a couple of hours of each play session.… Expand
