    No gameface !?!
    Just like EA has done with fifa years ago...
    major dissapppointment, it takes the heart out of career mode. Not interested in tiger and clown masks , but a realistic career mode with the possibility to scan your face or upload your gameface. Without it it feels empty. I dont understand why EA always have to remove something crucial what makes the game full garbage. This    No gameface !?!

    This game is a update, minor changes so small you won't even notice , the only thing that stands out is the things they remove or change in a bad way.    … Expand

    A fun game with some great fighters, it's still a flip of a coin on which I prefer, 3 or 4 but I did have a great time playing this

    Same Game as UFC 3 in my opinion. No real change in anything, this game won’t last long at all

    Having played the first 3 ufc games from EA sports i wanted this game to work i wanted this game to surpass my expectations, but its just an average fighting game. Sure there are added modes and more customizable options, but they should have focused more on the impacts of the gamplay mechanics. Unrelastic clinch and ground game. The punches and kicks have no little impact.

Sure there are added modes and more customizable options, but they should have focused more on the impacts of the gamplay mechanics. Unrelastic clinch and ground game. The punches and kicks have no little impact. The stanima system is a joke. Dont even get me started on the submission system. They should have taken another year for this game. Im glad people are finally taking a stand against the lootbox system in gaming. Ea gets a point for that at least. Its sad now days that they have to patch games post release as i as i am not a fan of this tactic by gaming standards. Especially unfinished fighting games. They should have reworked the gound and clinch system exactly like THQ undisputed 3 from 2012. The striking has little vairety for my tastes and The AI clinch spams. I could go on and on, but id save your money and wait for a sale people. P.s. THQ Nordic should buy the rights back and make ufc how it should have been all along.… Expand

    I haven’t been able to play online due to the ‘purple screen of death’. This is a major glitch affecting majority of players in Oceania region. Game is riddled with bugs.

This is why EA has bad reputation. They rush games and they don’t care cause the gamers are loyal to the licensed franchise. EA add this to your failed list. Anthem, Battlefront 1 and 2, Battlefield V, Mass effect andromeda. Hopefully this game will be half decent in few months after some serious patching and updates cause now it’s not worth 1 dollar.… Expand

    How do EA constantly get away with releasing rushed, unfinished games? I haven’t been able to play a single ranked match yet due to screen glitches. Zero passion and effort have also went in to the offline modes. Career mode is basically the same as UFC 3 except they added more menus and sparring.

    Kick in the head nine times, nothing happens, got taken down, stay there for the rest of the round. this game is just plain absurd.
    i´ve played hundreds of hours in ufc 2 and 3 but with this one i had by far the worst and most boring experience. EA should go back to Fight Night and forget about UFC honestly

    Same game as UFC 3 with updated roster and grades. And they added some story for career mode.

    EA Sports UFC 4: Before we start I would like to tell you guys how exited I am about UFC 4 since UFC 3 was actually somewhat a disappointment to me in the famed franchise.

The reason why I was disapointed is the story line was as weak as it could be so after couple of voice lines and contracts only thing you doing was just to seem to keep fighting and fighting; while this is the main game this franchise still reeks of potential for me like the days of EAs once popular Boxing franchise. Because my expectations was beyond that I was hoping the game could be more than a game that you only fight against others. Well unfortunately UFC 4 is not much different although not ultimately bad either. It makes you create a fighter directly and you starting to career - not that different from the other games in the UFC franchise even the tattoos are similar to last years game, I mean the little details matter when you are entering into the 4th iteration of a potential on a global scale as there’s not any other worldwide sports venues that consistently have spawned in the fashion of UFC, even boxing as popular as it was in past years fans ultimately look for the next best thing in line with the events they enjoy. Although it's still fun to play but I can't say UFC 4 is amazingly so different than UFC 3 if you ask me to be completely honest and take the gloves off. The offline offerings include one-off fights in traditional MMA, Stand and Bang, and Knockout mode (with a new health-bar system that mirrors that of traditional fighting games), as well as custom events and tournaments. However, the destination for offline play is career mode. This year’s career starts off more cinematic, as you work closely with your head coach to learn how to fight, rack up some wins. I do enjoy an immersive experience and making the jump to the professional circuit and beyond always leaves a satisfied feeling for me. While I have to say this the KnockOut mode is nothing but purely Mortal Kombat styled
    mode added and for a moment I thought Is this the future of the Franchise that rose up from the ashes as a worldwide success. It seemed more like a mini game they chose to throw in instead of polishing on the games overall polish and expanding beyond the offline career mode. Hey maybe take it to the next level and provide an environment that’s open globally for all to compete for world wide rankings and a true ranking of ones skill, ALA Toughest Fighter, I am truly excited for the next generation of gaming and I think UFC4 could have just been an example of what to expect at the end of a console generation a solid game that doesn’t really do anything wrong without breaking what has worked to date, next year we should really begin to see some of these franchises move in the direction of promising futures or possibly continue on the same path. At the end of the day if you’re a fan, heck yes it’s a must have. This game is far from a let down it’s just my desire to see the UFC franchise rise much as when I play WWE games, sometimes I wish I could plug in an N64 controller and play today’s games with the control and immersive experience these games delivered on a much less powerful platform with greater results. Only time will tell us the future so for now pick up a solid priced UFC4 and throw down just don’t expect a complete overhaul until we get our hands on UFC5.    … Collapse

    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]
