    EA is the worst gaming company ever. Please stop making games! This is literally a ‘get beat up simulator’ online is beyond broken, cheesy, and toxic. Even getting this game on EA play I few robbed

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its no wonder EA is consistently voted THE worst company in America. Every UFC game EA makes is a huge downgrade from the last. From less customization points to watered down grappling. The only thing they add is more micro transactions with every UFC event.… Expand

    It's just a bad game. I loved the series and I'm still playing ufc 3 even though I own ufc 4. Hopefully ufc 5 will be different, a little bit more like the older games.

    Серия явно деградирует. EA стали лениться, если будете внимательны то заметите что корпуса у большенства бойцов одинаковы. Графика хуже чем в 3-й части. Я молчу про рекламу. Зачем то убрали систему редактора приемов, они могли просто не допускать бойцов с радактироваными приемами.

    This game is nothing like mma or watching ufc. It's slow, clunky and doesn't even feel like a fighting game. The stamina system is so poorly done. If you were playing any other sports game your character would not loose stamina after running half down a field or a stadium.

    No surprises, just another trash game from ea sports. Striking feels very slow and contros are unresponsive. Ground game is absolute joke, you cant finish anyone with ground and pound because for some reason after short period of time your apponent just pull you back automatically! Its also impossible to submit somebody unless they wasted all the energy. Will think twice before buing next game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. EA are not good at making UFC Games !!!

    There is a lot of bugs/glitches in this game, kinda make me feel like if nobody tested it before releasing the game;
    - I once started a career in Hardcore mode(my best yet), I was 21-0-0(12 Subs/8 KOs/1 Dec), with Double Champ Status, I was supposed to face Blachowicz to defend the belt and the game froze when I tried to simulate to the next week, lost my first and only great career in the game in HC mode just because of that weird problem EA won't fix, very annoying!!
    - There is also alot of strange glitches when your character forze in certain position like takedowns and clinch positions and you cannot do anything to unfreeze the it, so who gotta quit or wait until the bell rings.
    - Sometimes if you don't push the buttons hard enough, your character stop mid-action too, kinda boring sometimes.

    Things they should consider to change or add in the next UFC 5 game;
    - Most part of the fighters don't fight and don't use gameplans like they actually do IRL, improve that please!!
    - CPU are actually sometimes harder to fight than the actual fights, that's kinda crazy, do something for this please!!!
    - You can't call out the Champ as soon as you signed with UFC, why?!
    - You can't learn certain moves before you get in UFC, get Ranked or even get Champion, I don't get this "logic", this is pure nonsense to me.
    - During training session, you can't do boxing only, kickboxing only or even wrestling only.
    - You can only fight in WFA or DWCS before you get in UFC, what about WEC, IFL, PrideFC, Strikeforce or TUF ? or even Yard and Kumite fights ? Would definitely add something more interesting to your background in Career mode or even to your character legacy.
    - Why you cannot get a Rematch the first guy you lose to in Amateur when you get in UFC(would be an very dope Grudge match) ?
    - Why you cannot be a Judo, TKD, Karate, Muay Thai expert, instead of only Boxing, Wrestling, kickboxing and BJJ expert in the game ?

    So many bugs that will never be fixed and so many questions that will never be anwsered...
    At this point i start to think that this game has only been made to grab some money, instead of pleasing real hardcore MMA FANS !!!    … Expand

    I'm ranked in division 10 and I keep beating guys above my rank but I remain in division 10 !!

    An MMA game with no elbows on the ground and a gutted ground game at that. Striking feels good. Unfortunately that’s about it.

    Delay in punches, awful mechanics, ufc 3 had more fluid stand up, apsolut disappointment. Developers don't know that you can throw elbows on the ground. Do not buy this game. Not to mention ranked is limited to certain categories so you can't even play as your main.

Music is atrocious, the graphic is dated and have no special quirk/charm to it to justify it being "bad". Story and voice acting is worse than a porno with a bad budget. The characters look.... stupid (?) and just really bad in general.

    To imagine some poor bastard paid to get this, no matter the price, is beyond me. Avoid this at all costs. I already knew EA had a bad rep but they certainly live up to it here!

    Never played a UFC game before and never will again. Thank god I got it on PS+ instead of paying $60 like I almost did…

    The most stiff and lifeless game I’ve ever played. Literally everything outside of the actual fights feels like it was done with bare minimum effort, and the fights themselves will cure insomnia.

Man I spent like 2 hours making a character and throughout the whole process he wouldn’t stop bouncing around and **** and literally every two seconds he would disappear and reappear making it hard to see what I’m changing. On top of all that when I finally finished (like 2 hours later) and had all the tattoos I wanted put I get a message saying “you’ve lost connection to the server” and it literally deleted EVERYTHING I just spent all that time making. And the game isn’t even good enough for me to want to spend that time making a charcuterie again. In one night I made it all the way to my super fight. There’s nothing interesting to do before the super fight. There’s nothing interesting during the career and after the super fight you’re instantly told yo need to give up one of your belts and start over the whole process of not doing anything interesting or stay in your current weight class and still not do anything Interesting. Easily the worst UFC, ‘09 was a million times better… Expand

    The difference between the user score and all these "official" reviewers clearly shows that they all got paid for their fake reviews, shame on you as well!

    In spite of sporadic issues with the controls and the monetization model, UFC 4 is a great fighter, even if one bases it solely on the expansive career mode. As I currently celebrate my first championship title and defending it, I wholeheartedly recommend this one, not only to fans of the sport, but to anyone looking for their next fighting game fix.

    Long-time players will be disappointed at Joe Rogan’s absence from the commentary booth this time around, even if Daniel Cormier and John Anik’s excitable tones are perfectly serviceable. And that’s a phrase which perfectly sums up UFC 4 in general. It won’t surprise MMA fans, but it should delight. [Issue#180, p.72]
