You build your fighter to fight the way you like to fight,use the moves you want to develop and after career mode is over, the only thing you to keep for all your efforts, is the way your fighter looks.

    Pros:
    +The combat is, although very slow, fluid and fun as ever.
    +Chain-wrestling is finally here and it's extremely fun. You can go from a single-leg to a bodylock to a mat return, The wrestling is just so much more dynamic and realistic and an absolute joy to play. +Stamina (although still having a lot of problems) is now much more realistic. You can't throw 100 strikes per round

    +Stamina (although still having a lot of problems) is now much more realistic. You can't throw 100 strikes per round now like prior games and you have to pace yourself.

    +Movement is heavily emphasized here, More so than UFC 3 in my opinion.

    Cons:
    —EA has needlessly gimped and streamlined the gameplay. Clinching is absolutely gutted and many of the transitions have been removed. Elbows on the ground are gone and so are parries. The range on hooks and elbows on the feet is extremely short, you pretty much have to be chest to chest with the opponent to land them and there is no effective way of closing the distance other than just swaying forward and praying your opponent doesn't move an inch backwards.

    There is also this **** weird 0.5-1 second delay on all your actions which makes countering almost impossible.

    —Create A Fighter has been ABSOLUTELY GUTTED. It's a complete joke now. Instead of using EA Gameface to make a very realistic and accurate version of yourself, you're now forced to pick between about 50 preset faces who all look like Orc and Goblin rejects from the last Middle-Earth game.

    You can no longer control every aspect of your fighter's stats like in previous games. You're now forced to use this garbage "Archetype" system where you're forced into picking a generic, cardboard stereotype instead of making your own fighter with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.

    —The AI is a joke. On easy and normal they're complete garbage. On Hard difficulty (and above) everyone turns into Israel Adesanya, They react to and counter any and all moves you make with absolutely insane accuracy, no matter how well you set them up. On top of that, they have a never-ending pool of stamina and will never go below your level of fatigue no matter how high their output is or how much damage they've taken.

    —The fighter stats don't make a lick of sense. It's clear that EA have never watched some of the fighters on the roster. Tyron Woodley's takedown defense and cardio is off the charts. Ben Askren's overall striking is 3x as good as it should be. GSP is ranked as 4-stars when objectively and vastly inferior fighters like Jorge Masvidal and Leon Edwards are ranked as 4.5 stars. These are just a few examples, there are hundreds more.

    —Customization makes absolutely no sense considering the UFC's EXTREMELY strict and stringent rules for apparel. But that could've been forgiven if this game actually had a semi-decent way of acquiring the customizations.

    ALL of these customizations like clothing, emotes and taunts are locked behind thousands of ”Gold coins” which you earn at small increments on a day to day basis by completing small challenges like ”Throw 500 strikes” or ”Win 3 fights as a Boxer-style fighter”. You earn like 200 gold a day and most cool items in the game cost upwards of 3-4000 coins EACH, Meaning you can either grind away for weeks on end to buy 1 single item or you can buy them with real money.

    There is however a leveling system in the game which gives you a very small but completely random selection of items upon reaching a new level + some gold coins but these are still not enough. I'm level 35 by now and I can only afford like 5-6 items because the reward in coins is infuriatingly low.

    —The final nail in the coffin: Career mode. It's **** garbage. It's a direct downgrade from UFC 3. The only meaningful new addition is trading insults or building friendships with other fighters on the roster but the only thing you gain from it is being able to invite them to your camp in order to learn moves from them at a lower cost, Which you will NEVER have to do as money is so easily attainable in this game.

    If you're an MMA fan or practitioner, You will be sorely disappointed. If you're just a gamer looking for a good simulation of MMA, You will also be sorely disappointed. This game is a direct downgrade in almost every aspect from UFC 3 and EA should be **** ashamed.

Can't help but laugh when I see them praising this games 'realism', considering that at best this is an arcade game, and the fights on here actually make Rocky vs Drago look like a legit fight. The striking is very very clunky, slow, and embarrassing, the fighters throw punches like they're 125 years old and never fought a day in their lives, they also for some reason think its a good idea to stand there like a deer in headlights whenever they get clipped by a punch, the lag input is an absolute disgrace, any time you try to do anything you can expect at least a full second delay between pressing the button and the fighter actually doing it, and the ground game is so overpowered that just about every single online game is filled with jock strap sniffers. That's just a few of this games horrible flaws, if you was to sit and list them all in a review you could probably fill the 5000 character limit ten times over. Will never buy from EA again. By far the worst gaming company there has ever been which is why they're despised by pretty much everybody. Only developers I've ever heard of that actually get consistently worse and worse over time. It's honestly a shame that these guys haven't gone bankrupt because I can't think of any company that deserves it more. Looks like they've even paid Imdb to disable the user reviews for the game cause for some reason you can't leave a review, which I've only ever seen with EA games Expand

    . Come on EA its not hard to make people in the crowd wear ufc merchandise. Same **** tattoos in ufc 3 with maybe 3 or 4 new ones. Why can't i use tattoos the fighters have? for god sakes the texture is in the game and would require no effort at all to make it where the player can have them. Career mode is dog **** and nothing fun, and unrealistic. You can't even choose what gym you train at. fight the same people over and over again in career. One loss is -5% on your longevity even though fighters like alister overeem has gotten ko'd 15 times and had over 60 mma fights or diego sanchez whos had multiple wars and is still fighting or cowboy cerone whos had over 50 fights and still fighting. The game has unnecessary clothing just to monetize the game which shows ea's true intentions (even though everyone already knows.)
    The story is pretty much a generic low budget nba spike lee story. A elementary schooler can make a better story. Unnecessary controls that no one asked to be switched. This game has the worst controls in any triple a ps4 game. The clinch controls make no sense and i often find myself exiting the clinch when i try to do a throw. The transitions in clinch make no sense and is nowhere to be explained in the game. Who at ea thought it would be a good idea to make takedowns and punches the same button? I wonder if they tested the game because i often find myself throwing punches when wanting to do a takedown and vice versa. The game has less content than ufc 3 which should not be excused. they even took out joe rogan, they couldve just used the same lines for ufc 3, which still is isn't acceptable but would be better than no joe rogan. Nothing about this game is enjoyable. The takedown defense is yet another downgrade and is nearly unstoppable at all times. The coaches say the same thing every fight and is very predictable. The way to improve your fighter is yet another downgrade from ufc 3.
    Who thought it was a good idea to introduce points? I'd rather play ufc 1 than play this game which is sad because this game is the fourth installment. and wtf is up with the **** simplified ground control, which is almost impossible to use because once you go in a direction you can't stop it. the most annoying thing about this game is the ref stoppages which haven't improved at all since ufc1.
    They will literally stop it behind a fighter one their pounding someones head off, do they have eyes in the back of their head? I have yet to see a ref pull a fighter off in any ufc game they just wave their hands. many reviews give this game 70's 80' 90's and even perfect score which is pathetic. if anyone thinks this game deserves anything above a 4 (if im being generous) is mentally incompetent and should not be trusted with any game review. They're saying this game is on the level of games such as god of war, the last of us, skyrim and fallout new vegas. which its not its no where no close to these games.

    And don't the addition of ads in a 60$ game. Awful load times. **** rivalry which is simplified down to just saying positive and negative comments. The submission system is **** which another change no one asked for. Career is pretty boring and meaningless since its pretty much the same every time you play. This is pretty much ufc 3 but ****tier and in neon colors. Genuinely one of the worse games i've ever played.

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.

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!

    By far the worst game I've ever played. I'm fairly confident that the people who created this pile of **** have both never made a video game before and have never seen a UFC fight

    Кривое имбаласное говно с кривыми серверами, пластелиновыми персонажами, и убогими механиками. Зря потраченые деньги

    Another trash EA game. Unbalanced. Full of glitches and cheaters. They make not exploiting their lack of coding skills almost impossible to play the game. Got a 1 because I like UFC. They failed at everything else.

    An MMA game with no elbows on the ground and a gutted ground game at that. Striking feels good. Unfortunately that’s about it. This is yet another example of why EA should never be given the license to any sports game. The formula is to get worse every year. UFC undisputed 3 an 11 year old game out shines this game in every way.

    By someone who owns the game and has spent 1500+ hours playing this game I can honestly say that it it by far the worst mma game ever.

    Carrer mode is boring as hell and there is no point playing after a few fights They removed pride ruleset All characters feel the same No more callouts in career node All of the above is acceptably, for some, but the worst part is when you play ranked

    They removed pride ruleset

    All characters feel the same

    No more callouts in career node All of the above is acceptably, for some, but the worst part is when you play ranked mode, you may win 15 fights in a row ,l, you will only win a very small amount of point but, on the other hand , if you loose, you will loose loads and loads of points.

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

    It honestly broke my heart but I deleted the game as there is no point trying to play unless you keep creating new accounts and hope that the stupid algorithm will give you some points

    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 !!!

    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. So why after 6 punches is my professional fighter winded and hitting like when I fight in my dream? This game isThis game is nothing like mma or watching ufc.

    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

    Apart from laggy menu and modest graphics, UFC 4 is a good finale to the series’ run on current generation of consoles. [Issue#248, p.48]

    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]
