Once you pass these tests, you can then join the UFC and start on your way to becoming the world champ. This extended tutorial brings you in contact with Coach Davis, who teaches you the game and gets you on your way to the UFC via the WFA (World Fighting Alliance) and Dana White’s Contender series.
What’s good here is as a new player you have to learn from the get go with the start of the story line essentially acting as an in game tutorial designed to help you get up to speed before you even start making waves in the UFC. It’s pretty much the focal point unless you prefer fighting online. The biggest part of UFC 4 is the Career Mode. Not going to lie it took me some time to get to grips with but on PS4, R2 will protect your head, R2 and L2 together will protect your body from punches, kicks and check kicks to your legs.Īll in all, UFC 4 is much the same as UFC 3 with an improved ground game, which if we’re being totally honest was the area of the game play that needed the most TLC.
Not unlike UFC 3, momentum, head movement and blocking are majorly important things to get your head around if you wish to survive in the octagon. The striking setup is the same as ever, catch someone with the right timing and watch them drop like a sack o spuds. By covering up the bar the attacker will grow their submission meter, but if the defender can avoid the attacker’s bar they will grow their escape meter. Once a submission is triggered, you the attacking player will have to try move a small bar around a circle or line in order to cover up the other player’s bar. There have also been changes to the submission system.
#EA SPORTS UFC 3 SOUNDTRACK TRAILER UPDATE#
EA have done a full update of the ground game, clinches and virtually all wrestling transitions to make it a far more graspable area of the game. However, it does do some tweaking in order to make its existing mechanics simpler and more approachable. UFC 4 doesn’t dramatically revamp any of the systems from the previous iteration. Many people who played UFC 3 found the control system difficult to get their head around. UFC 4 doesn’t shake up the system but it’s a fine update of the previous titles by mixing slick graphic, famous fighters designed with a lot of care and realistic physics to bring together a game that UFC fans are going to love. EA are the kind of company that find a formula that works (like FIFA) and stick to it. Personally, I thought oh here’s a cash cow that’s going to be so bad they’ve decided to pull in two big name boxers to prop the title up. Adding big name boxers into the mix in Tyson Fury and Joshua was always going to get people to stand up and take notice. Anyway UFC 4 recently hit the stores after a 2 year hiatus since UFC 3. Ever since Fight Night, I’ve been enamored by fighting games, so when UFC 4 landed on my desk, bet your ass I was excited to throw off a few slaps.
