    decided to ad commercials to the game after release this is not what we paid for. This is a $60 game it should not have paid advertisements

    I was happy to play this game, and I actually enjoyed it. It wasn't my favorite by any means, but it was enjoyable minus a few bugs. 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.

    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!!

    Putting ads in middle of game after initially release so when it gets reviewed they don’t add the advertisements to the review and pretty much same game as previous games

    I can't believe I paid $80 for mainly a re-skined ufc 3 with more glitches and bugs. Also having ads in an $80 game is despicable.

    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.

    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).… Expand

    Cons: UFC 4 is a re-released, inferior version of UFC 3, which in turn is an inferior version of UFC 2. I paid $60+ for what is essentially an alpha version of a game. 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.

    Pros: You can turn the game off

    This is the last time I paid for the ea, a buggy mess and no improvements from last game. New arenas lile backyard and kumite are not selectable in online even if it is a private match. Just drop the license for gods sake.

    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

    I think this game is good.If you play thru the career mode you can unlock all of the locked characters.I also like how you have more control over the training.I’m not saying the game is perfect but its not as bad as people say . Sure the animations are bad . The knockout look fake ,but its still a fun game.

    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]
