    EA Sports UFC 4 is a fun return to form for EA Sports. With a simplified approach to fighting and the inclusion of a more in-depth career mode, the UFC franchise is on the right track to building better things.

    This year's iteration of UFC from EA Sports looks good, and feels good in parts - though the submission system just doesn't appear to be as much fun to play. The best parts of this game are the boxing and kickboxing elements, and the offline career mode is a fun mode to build and forge careers in. With really no other fighting titles to purchase this year, EA Sports UFC 4 will be unrivalled for those looking for another sports-like fighting game - and while UFC 4 is not a bad game, it doesn't do much to appeal to those who don't already have a love and appreciation for the sport or the brand.

    Huge step backwards. Save your money for when this hits the bargain bin. It won't take long.

    UFC 4 is how Black Ops 3 was to its series, mostly mediocre, but after 2 years of waiting for a sequel I’d say they delivered. It’s notUFC 4 is how Black Ops 3 was to its series, mostly mediocre, but after 2 years of waiting for a sequel I’d say they delivered. It’s not everything we’ve asked for, but for those who’ve played; the striking is obviously much more fluid, there’s still slight bugs with the mechanics but those are easy fixes we’ll see soon. The grappling wasn’t overhauled at all, just a new, much more predictable system they added for more casual players. I recommend switching it to the legacy controls if you’re playing online. The customization has a lot of potential, but they clearly didn’t put too much work into it, which is good because I’m hoping they plan on adding things regularly. The game overall is fair for everyone, everyone has a chance to win even when you’re using a top fighter against a lower star one. My complaint is a bug that I’ve only seen in OWC, (which is ironic) you’ll match with someone & go into the selection screen, both people will ready up & load in, & when the commentary starts you’re stuck on a purple screen, only able to see the shadows, but your opponent seems to be fine so you sit there & listen to them working you. I’ve lost 2 titles now & a division because of it, & it’s going to be a problem if it isn’t fixed soon. It’ll give the same numbers as Ultimate Team did & EA will come up with a whole new online mode when it isn’t needed because they regularly ignore the obvious bugs that people complain about daily. But if you’re a big MMA fan like me, I’d say the game is worth it, it isn’t perfect, but it’s something other than UFC 3.… Full Review »

    This is one of the best mma games out to date. What I show is a big improvement over the past 3 games and this is one of the best MMA games out there.
