    Alot of bugs and issues, at least in my playthroughs.

From visual (not a huge deal like the post fight replay in career) and the game not being able to recognise title fights sometimes to game breaking grappling bugs that will either prevent you or your opponent from moving because you are locked in place with spaghetti arms and legs and hits that clearly connect not registering along with many more. But with this being EA that is par for the course so is the other insult which usually comes with their half baked attempt at a game and its their intrusive micro transaction systems in their full price games. They scrapped ultimate team but in its place you now have the option to pay for emotes and post fight animations many of which are copied and pasted from UFC3. Yet another missed opportunity all because a group of suits with their brains on backwards are allowed to influence creative decisions in order to inject their dose of fun poison Expand

    Changed the system completely from the last one and it just doesn’t work, the game seems alien and is very inconsistent, you can’t choose your own weight class in ranked matches which is just weird and very annoying, match making is beyond bad, compared to UFC 3 this is levels below it.

    Enough said by anyone else. This is a poor excuse for a "sequel." It's legit the same game, with DC as an announcer. EA used to be my favorite game studio. From Madden, NBA Live, Battlefield, Need for Speed, among many others. All these franchises are trash now.

    They didn't even try!!!! You'd think you're going to at least get new roster right? Apart from a hand full of guys its a copy paste of the roster from last year. Exact same.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sorry if this seems extreme but I'm so frustrated that you can't change the fight kits that I have to give this game a 1. I can't. The abuse from these huge companies the deeper we get into the future is just agregious. Not gonna buy it until they do something about changing kits in every mode I don't care how picky that sounds it is absolutely annoying to see every single fighter wear the same color kit all the time. Every other game allowed it and doesn't make sense. Lots of missing fighters especially those within top 15 of weight class's. I don't expect Khamzat that quickly but not even Amanda Ribas or Vicente Luke?? They've been involved for some time and in big fights. All Women's weight classes virtually empty. Graphics definitely took a hit and many player models look OFF. SAM ALVEY THE WORST! Cody Garbrahnt 2nd worst. UFC 3 models look perfect in comparison. I do like making your own fight card and presence of titles on roster and tournament mode with all the different options (Though I haven't actually played those modes yet) Fighting itself seems like it hasn't changed much and tbh kinda worse and frustrating to get a flurry combo going like with Masvidal. Really slow. But no way this game gets my money or time until they at least allow you to change Kits for everyone including customization. Can we get some more arenas? It's 2020 supposedly we are in "next gen"? Disappointing trial weekend. was looking forward to upgrading as a fight fan but no way EA.. Expand

    Striking is slow stuck in the mud and doesn't flow. The grappling is broken, it tries to be simple but is needlessly complicated in some areas. For instance to block body knees in the clinch it's RT+LT however when against the cage it changes to lest stick towards opponent underhill to block knees

At this point, buying EA games is like staying in an abusive relationship. I should know better, but they took control of everything I enjoy (NFL, UFC, Soccer) so I'm stuck.

    I have to say EA has scammed the people who bought this game including me. One of the coolest things in past UFC games you could create a fighter and making him/her unique not just with looks but with their stats and which places they are good in but here the only unique part is the looks and not only that the clothes are so stupid and immersion braking. Have you ever seen a ufc match withI have to say EA has scammed the people who bought this game including me. One of the coolest things in past UFC games you could create a fighter and making him/her unique not just with looks but with their stats and which places they are good in but here the only unique part is the looks and not only that the clothes are so stupid and immersion braking. Have you ever seen a ufc match with a guy wearing a lion head with Gucci pants and a glowing top ? No people who bought this game want immersion and to feel like this is the closest thing you can get to experiencing the ufc without actually being in the cage and it fails with the immersion. And not only that they removed stats so you don’t get to choose with moves with the freedom the other games have you, you choose a class and that means your fighter isn’t even unique because everyone has the option to change the style before the fight. The game is supper buggy and anyone who played the game for an hour can witness a humongous amount of bugs and glitches and if you don’t experience bugs you will for sure experience you getting smashed in by a clinch spamming 20 Devision fighter, the clinch is so broken, you can’t even block some shots when you try to leave it so not only you get punished for not ducking the clinch you also get punished for trying to not get clinched spammed. Plus there is no hud, so new players, good luck cause it’s gonna feel like you are taking an exams and not revising at all. Mindless changes is another thing like why change the take down buttons that mix with the body punches, the amount of times I went for a takedown and got countered with a submission is unbelievable, there is so many buttons that are the same for punches/ kicks which can make you throw the wrong move and boom you are on the canvas while your opponent is doing the renegade ( this is a joke but the emotes are absolutely pathetic, who asked for them?). No changes to the ground game is bad, I get that it might be hard to improve up on it but could of gave us new animations or more realistic transitions like in the clinch? Why the clinch and not ground game? Another thing is that some of the fighters don’t even look like what they actually should be, for example Kamaru usman, he looks kinda skinny and not buff, he’s probably the most buff guy in the welterweight devision right now and many other fighters have big heads. Career is an improvement but damn they are good at advertising, cause half of the features die out in the end of the career, you still gonna be fighting old fighters like wayyy old fighters or just random no names which I don’t know which is worse, you can’t call out fighters by yourself, they have to say something to you before or someone has to mention something about your opponent so then you can comment, that’s so lazy otherwise career is decent but maybe just a little too long to an extent but a big improvement on ufc 3’s. Adding irl ads into a game is just brain dead and that’s what they did instead of fixing the game because that is definitely what we want and they definitely want to immerse us with all the epic Gucci, and lion head clothing in the game... yeah no, they just want money and the ads were added for like a week and only they removed them when there was a lot of game articles about it and did the classic PR bull***. Stamina doesn’t drain fast enough and everyone has the toughest of thanos or something cause you can knock someone 8 times in the span of one round and they’ll probably survive and the scoring if things go to a decision is atrocious I’ve seen dozen of score cards that had a clear better performance and had nothing better then the other opponent but yet still won, like what you can just stun someone 12 times, throw 203 strikes, 2 body health events, 1 leg health event and 67 significant strikes and still loose. Overall this game can be better then UFC 3 but is it ? No definitely not, the game is £60 but should be £25-£30 tops, well that’s at least what I’m seeing from my experience and I’ve been playing since launch, I do think EA will make it into a good game, but in 2 or 3 years, so wait until it’s 60 or even 70% off otherwise you’re gonna waste your money like Me and thousands of other people that bought the game. ( the score would have been 4 but the fact they added ads into a game and did nothing about it when the community was saying so much until articles were published about it takes away 2 points, pathetic, there should be a feature where you pay half the price if the game is not finished but somehow ea would rig that as well).

Create a fighter is bland and a complete copy and paste if the previous 3 titles. Outrageous emotes and costumes/ masks you would never see at a ufc event. Garbage ground game with lack of positions/striking opportunities (ie knees from top back side control, elbows). There's so many more issues. Bugs/glitches. Lack of game modes, the tam isn't passionate about mma and it shows. Do not buy. **** EA. Expand

    Glitchy game. We need EA to step it up game is not worth 60$ what’s the point of spending $60 on an unfinished product if their game gets better when the price drops cause the game only gets better when they update it and that’s not till December when the game price drops.

    **** your replay ads.

    Also, this game removed 60+ fighters and only added in 19 new ones. That's not a sequel at all. The only thing different in this game other than less fighters, is the odd **** stages. I guess fighting in a backyard, or in a Tekken is cool...but that could have easily been an update to UFC 3. Don't actually make a sequel unless you are willing to make a new

    I'm a huge MMA fan and have been for over for 20 years. I've played almost every MMA game and get them the day they're released with hopes I won't be disappointed.

    I thought EA ufc 1 was a step back from Undipusted 3 but that's to be expected since it was their first one. UFC 2 was better but UFC 3 was a step back and UFC 4 is yet another step back. Extremely disappointing game. EA is

Extremely disappointing game. EA is one of the worst gaming companies in the entire world. I feel their staff probably cares but the Executives only care about the bottom line so they don't support the staff the way they need to be. I will rent all EA games that I'm interested in from now on before buying.

    Don’t know why people are hating on this game for nothing. They just see some YouTubed and decide they’re gonna review bomb it even though they’ve never played it. Personally I like it, it has problems that need to be fixed and I think they will be, I understand madden 21 but this game isn’t nearly as bad and can be enjoyable unlike madden.

    I’ve played every ufc game since thq ufc 2009 undisputed. This game is a complete waste of money. Do not buy it the online is a mess. The ground game is very one sided and limited. The striking is a mess and all over the place. There’s nothing competitive about it. The submission systems make no sense at all. Save your money do not buy this game!!

    This game is an abomination to UFC. The story is a rinse and repeat of train, spar fight, train Spar fight. No authentic story, no crazy story line or purposeful whatsoever. EA does everything half ass and with the least depth possible. Half the punches don’t work, OP grappling moves, Just adds to the diarrhea Production

However, EA is the scum of the earth and just wants to squeeze money anywhere they can. I'm actually ashamed to buy this game. I'm convinced EA would buy sweatshops if they could. Screw EA. Screw monetization and screw ufc 4.

    EA Sports UFC 4 is a solid game. It is ever so slightly improved over UFC 2 & 3. The stand up feels more fluid now that the clinch is free flowing as part of stand up. Grappling still sucks. Not sure who thinks holding your stick left or right waiting for a meter to fill is engaging, but they are wrong.

    Sound effects are okay. Graphics are still sub parts for a late 8th generation

    Sound effects are okay. Graphics are still sub parts for a late 8th generation release. The Career Mode is great, and the best part of UFC 4 next to Fight Now.

    Fighter selection is very good. Some glaring legend omissions are a bummer. Such as Randy Couture, Ken Shamrock, and Frank Mir.

    Theu added ads, which is ridiculous. EA is still greedy as ever.

    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]
