EA Sports UFC 4 Review – The Final Verdict



UFC 4 doesn’t reinvent the genre, nor does it fully resolve the franchise’s long-standing issues with wrestling mechanics. But it still offers up a fun and rewarding experience, one that manages to capture the visceral excitement of the sport in an experience that is both accessible and rewarding.

Solid fighting mechanics make you feel powerful, while an entertaining career mode offers solid replay value. It may not be a perfect game, but it’s a lot of fun regardless. New and returning players alike can find something to enjoy here, whether you’re an experienced player or new to the Octagon.

  1. You can't take created fighters from the career mode online!? How stupid is that? I was really enjoying this game until I found that out. Visually you can, but none of your stats or moves carry over. So why bother learning and developing your character? This is a major L.

  2. This reminds me of what EA has done with Madden. The moves and the game look exactly the same. They change one or two things, maybe the camera angles and they release the product. The fighting graphics and technical moves look rigid and exactly the same…

    I wish each fighter felt different…. they had signature strikes that no one else had, for example Muay Thai fighters kick differently than a grappler…. Boxers have better and quicker jabs… Grapplers have better takedowns…. in these EA versions, each fighter feels the same and are the same.

  3. They been doing shitty mma games since ea mma for ps3 been extremely dispointed back than.

    My honest realistic approach for a perfect mma game can have mix of realism and arcade individual move sets and nuances from the fighters themselves closes you recreate iq fight strategies.

    Should have it's basics just like any triditional fighting game expand for each fighter. No need to have 100 of fighters if they all fight the same.

    Concepts like fist or twist ps2 game fully body damage system gauge.

    Ps2 game victorious boxer 1 2 have positional angle strikes can award accuracy on your strikes can cause flash knock down or kos by your movement and angles and where you hit

    Plus k-1 camera option from the games ps2 era
    Pride fc ps2 game camera.

    Fire pro wrestling stamina mechanic with critical hits examples in mma like flash knock downs or body hits to critical damage hits that for recent like alistair overeem broken nose from volkov brutally hurts your stamina and movement.

    Take reference from fire pro wrestling capabilities where you can edit the ring cage brand mod create fighters ect.

    Huge example

    Konami pes football/soccer edit patches mods is capable of getting this licenseses by dedicated community making this mods edits.

    create fighters likeness to bypass the missing mma promotion like ufc and download community mods and edit patches to get the correct presentation fighters likeness ect.

    This is how pro evo football can get majority of football league licenseses and gain correct uniforms names faces stadium by community mods and edit patches this would be the perfect substitute in this era of gaming for mma games. Go with the konami pro evo approach more freedom for the consumer and build a community for passion mma fans.

  4. So glad I'm barely finding out about ufc, looks straight garbage. Ufc 3 undisputed on 360 was good and ufc 2 is good too (players should have less health and a higher rate of flash kos)

  5. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this game it’s literally 100 steps back from ufc 3, ground and pound is so broken people can just spam it repeatedly along with takedowns, EA made so many unnecessary changes

  6. This game is absolute trash. It is not fun , it is not an imrovment and everything is complicated now , especially career mode where it takes you fucking 15 minutes of gym mini games just to have one fight in the UFC and then there is a "watch tape" because you cant just see the stats of your opponent , you have to study it… wtf is fun about that !?

  7. The commentary is so fucking stupid and disrespectful … Daniel Cormier and jon must were told that children were gonna play this and not actual hardcore fans Because they talk to you like your a fucking child … When your in the clinch aginst the cage and your fighter is low on stamina and your trying to knee your opponent daniel would say something like "it doesn't matter how much you press that x button your knees wont do any damage " as if im a child not looking for a more realistic feedback so to say .. Or if im losing taking big shot john anik would say something like "wow dc your wipping me " as if those two are playing one another .. The commentary is very cheap its redundant it doesn't put you in the game and its insulting to the hardcore fans… At least joe rogan on ufc3 knew alot more about the fighters and there skills .. Ufc 3 spent more time with the commentary and really put you in the game it felt more realistic so to speak … Ufc 4 is an insult … Were they aiming this towards children only? Who in the fuck would fight with a fucking lion mask on and jean shorts with a fucking gold chain in the octagon? That's so stupid and unrealistic and also disrespectful … The postured up striking feels cheap and unfinished you can't land elbow from the top when your postured up and you can't strike back when your opponent is postured up witch is ridiculous … Who care about the career mode never was a fan of that but that shit is cheaply made and feels lazy and unsatisfying .. The micro transactions are disrespectful and unnecessary like why would i want to buy a fucking chain or a lions mask .. You cant even get the actual ufc shorts without a fucking purchase! Like this game is so disrespectful to the hardcore ufc fans … Ufc needs to cut ties with EA sports because there ruining them … Im black (African American ) but i prefer joe rogan instead of Daniel Cormier as my commentator jor rogan actually gave a shit … John anik is john anik .. I can go all day on how the list of fighters is incomplete and unrealistic but I'll save it for someone who cares … I'm very disappointed with ufc 4 doesn't seem like a 2 years project seems more like a fraudulent installment … Ufc 3 is better in so many ways i think , the game play the loading screens everything just felt official on ufc 3 … I never wanted to leave ufc3 but no-one played it anymore … Im very bored and disappointed with ufc4 .. The online ranked play is fucking retarted you can't even chose a weight class … The kumite or whatever it's called is fucking pointless they did that for adeysanya? I thought adeysanya was nigerian not Japanese why the fuck cant we fight on a dirt road instead … The backyard fights are ok i guess … I can go all day on how this game sucks but I'll save it for someone who cares

  8. I tell u something…listen good u 🐑 … UFC 2 is the best. And every one who don’t know this.. is the reason bec this game became casual and trash…u all amateur.
