EA Sports UFC 3 Confirmed

[Haz____]

Just gonna throw this out there..

UD3 had draws.

And tons and tons of other things EA UFC doesn't have. And it came out 5 years ago... Why was that team able to achieve having all these features in their game, but EA UFC can't? 5 years later, on a waaaay more powerful machine?

If that means they are likely to fight someone in a mirror match....they dont care. In ranked, most people just want to be in the best position to win and thats it. I dont even play ranked often but I'm not a fan of restricting who people can use just because both players want the same fighter.

I disagree. Mirror matches in simulation sports games are incredibly dumb. I absolutely HATE it. I agree that id rather quit, than even play that match out. I wonder what % of ranked matches are Mcgregor vs Mcgregor? So dumb.

Go play Tekken or Street Fighter if you want goofy nonsense like that in your fighting game.

Ive said this before and I'll say it again. Mirror matches are the devil, more so a 5 round title fight when your both champions and mixed in with a lil bit of narcotics and I get confused which fighter I am (red or blue) and I always get confused looking at the stamina bar. Ughhh... NIGHTMARE!

If your opponent picks a fighter then it should lock up so you can't select the same one. I rather see that.

There is not a single simulation sports game that restricts who you can pick. Not one that I can think of. Not Madden. NBA 2k. Fifa. The Show.

I dont play online regularly so this doesnt effect me but I'm not fan of not being able to pick who I want when I want to. If you want to ensure that you dont face McGregor all the time, fight in a league or with people you know.

Draws have nothing to do with a way more powerful machine. It has to do with priorities.

UD3 was the third version of a series that was developed for 5 years. Assuming UFC 3 releases this year it will be the third version of a series that was developed for 4 years.

It has a ton of things that I wish was in the UFC 2 (and potentially UFC 3). It also has modes and features that werent in UFC 3. It had Pride Mode which I loved.

It doesnt have anything close to Ultimate Team. It doesnt have online events. It will likely not have 1 or 2 modes that you havent even heard about yet. I already know of some small features that are new to any MMA game. So while its understandable to compare the next game to UD3, you should understand it goes both ways.

I want draws in the game. I do. I'm holding out hope that the devs will get around to adding them. But I understand why they havent been added and I'm not going to lose sleep over a feature that has happened in less than 1% of all UFC fights.

While I understand this and will default to those who are more in the know, I'm still a little confused.

How, if there is judging logic, is it possible that draws aren't a thing? It's math. If the scores equal to a draw, it's a draw.

Unless what I'm hearing is there isn't a 10-8 scenario (which I don't believe is true because I've heard some 30-26's before).

So it feels like something had to be added in to change the eventual solution to the math problem. It just feels like it would be easier to have draws than not. Let the judging logic do its job and if it's a draw, let it be a draw.

It isnt and thats why there arent draws in the game. To be completely accurate, there are draws in the game. There are 10-8 rounds in UFC 2 too. What happens is that when their is a draw, the game randomizes who one.

So EA had a choice....add a randomizer or add all of the things that I mentioned before to accurately represent a draw. Given how EA manages its time, I doubt that adding a randomizer was the harder choice.

I would for EA to just devote some time to knock this out so that its no longer a complaint but EA has other things that are much higher on its to do list.

Ok I think I understand.

What you're saying is the judging logic is there, but the animations, sound effects and fighters throwing their hands up in the air in disappointment and confusions isn't there?

I guess that makes sense, but man, I'd hope they could get that in for this game.

I completely get the thinking that draws, while a deviation from the norm, are frequent enough in MMA that not allowing them because we don't want to allocate resources for the cut scenes and audio seems...small time.

I mean, what if Madden had you play a game, go to overtime and it ends up a tie. But because they didn't want to record the audio of the guys talking about ties they just decided that they would randomly add a point to one team and declare it a winner.

I know resources are a real thing, but I think the basic mechanics and outcomes of scoring should be included. I mean, we had knockout mode for heaven's sake but draws were what had to get cut out?
