    Not a bad fighting game. It's slightly different from I'm use to. The characters balance could be better as well.

    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.

    Needless to say, transitioning from Xbox 360's UFC Undisputed 3 to this, there was quite a learning curve considering the controls were very different. The basics were similar but the ground game control took a full career playthrough to grasp. The game's general layout, point system, and objectives also took time to orient.

    Generally though, this is my favorite UFC game so far. There    Needless to say, transitioning from Xbox 360's UFC Undisputed 3 to this, there was quite a learning curve considering the controls were very different. The basics were similar but the ground game control took a full career playthrough to grasp. The game's general layout, point system, and objectives also took time to orient.

    Generally though, this is my favorite UFC game so far. There are some controls and features I miss from the old game but the sheer amount of new features and improvements they've made make for a lot more interesting of an experience. The biggest improvement is the fight week simulations leading up to your fights. The career mode lets you enjoy a more realistic approach to what athletes go through by simulating injuries, time in between fight offers, and promoting your fight through various activities. These additions really make for a fun and more thought-out approach to not just your fight but your athlete's career.

    I've heard complaints about microtransactions and advertisements. Maybe these were issues at launch because as I play this in early 2023, I haven't seen any. There are options to purchase more in-game currency and cosmetics but I've never been ambushed by advertisements. I also have not experienced outrageous glitches. I've seen one or two here and there and a few frame-rate dips during some fighter cut scenes but from a technical level, I have no real complaints.

    What I would have liked to see is more "work-out" training options in the career mode instead of just sparring sessions as well as a couple of extra positions for jiu-jitsu (no butterfly guard option so far). I also would've liked to see career integration with the kumite and backyard locations if possible. I realize some realism could've been lost but hey, it's a video game.

    Overall though, it was a tough game to understand the mechanics at first but once I got a hang of it, I enjoyed it a lot and am excited to begin a new career on hard difficulty. I have no doubt other critics of the game faced compromising issues in the game's early life cycle. I also have no doubt that some players are incredibly biased against EA and unable to recognize all the fun the game can offer, especially now. Some players even admit to not even playing the game and wanting to downvote the game simply because EA is the publisher. These reviews shouldn't be acknowledged unless someone has actually given the game a fair shot.

    If there are any new players considering it, I would say give it a chance. I found it on sale for $10 and it was well worth the money.    … Expand

    The online is cool (if u play striking mode) but every single player mode is just unplayable it's basically a simulator of beat the opponent ass until his soul get out of the body and suddenly he turns in a zombie from a bad quality movie, put you in his shoulders do a super hyper mega blaster power wrestling slam, all the knockout u did (in this game u have to knock your opponent like 6The online is cool (if u play striking mode) but every single player mode is just unplayable it's basically a simulator of beat the opponent ass until his soul get out of the body and suddenly he turns in a zombie from a bad quality movie, put you in his shoulders do a super hyper mega blaster power wrestling slam, all the knockout u did (in this game u have to knock your opponent like 6 times at least before he get unconscious or the ref stop) just changed nothing know u on the ground and if u miss a single block he will put you to sleep with a random submission and the game don't consider the damage each of you has taken, if u playing with a striker against a BJJ character it's like 99% of chance that you will loose BUT it depends on the mini game cuz there's 2 different types, one is very easy other it impossible only way to escape is if u playing with Charles Oliveira and your opponent is Kimbo Slice… Expand

    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]
