UFC 3 is the best UFC game so far. UFC 4 and UFC 5 control scheme is worse than UFC 3. Why did EA mess with it? I loved playing UFC 3. UFC 4 and UFC 5 doesn't interest me one bit. They messed with one of my favourite games. I'm so disappointed
Muy divertido de jugar. Es complicado de manejar hasta dominarlo. Las animaciones están bien pero siento que podrían estar mejor. Muy buen soundtrack. Me hubiese gustado que la ropa sea más accesible.
There are 2 kinds of UFC players and you need to keep this in mind before read reviews. 1) Casual players; 2) Deep players (MMA lovers that take their time to learn the game).
I'm in the second group. UFC series have being my most played game since 2010. So, I pay attention to the details (the relevant ones) and things that most of the reviews might miss. I don't think the game should be a pure MMA simulator. Instead, I think the perfect level is somewhere between arcade and simulator (more toward simulator though)
UFC 3 makes good steps forward, but it does a few steps backwards too. The biggest upset in my opinion is the damage / stamina system, it's so easy to rock someone and so easy to get gassed. Another huge backward is the simplification of striking attributes. Now, kicks and punches are ruled by the sames stats of power and kicks. What the heck??? That nonsense is unanimous on the UFC official forum: nobody approved!
Others problems are: overpowered submissions, zero improvement on customization, no real training in Career mode, overhaul of Ultimate Team probably to worse, insanely difficult to do certain moves that require press up to 5 buttons, worse Ultimate Team, troubles to find an opponent in online matches.
So, if you ask me if UFC 3 is better than 2, I'm almost certainly that it is not. UFC 2 had poor customization, poor campaing, small number of modes, poor AI, but it was a hell of fun and had a Ultimate Team mode that kept you playing. UFC 3 doesn't go very far from UFC 2 and perhaps got worse.
Updates can fix many big gameplay issues, but I doubt it will.
Grappling in this game still is absolutely terrible, Career mode is an improvement over UFC 2 still needs work though especially when I fought Cris Cyborg 5 times in a row as Champion I think the game registered 2 different Cris Cyborgs one at Featherweight and one at Bantamweight. The grappling needs a complete rework as well as submissions. Also if you knock someone down 3 or 4 times in a row and completely recover doesn't seem very realistic your body will go through wear and tear and it should make it harder and harder for you to come back into a fight
