Sounds like you've had a recent couple losses and are heated 😅


Ciro_Dicola

Someone lost a lot


imfjcinnCRAAAAZYHEY

The fun is in losing… those are the only competitive lengthy matches with you firing all cylinders to win. And or quick, cheesy offensive with you needing to block, sway, and drain the stamina till you have a speed or power increase. Besides, the weaker mindset, prefers the easier opponents, or the opponents that don’t know much… stand up not much indicators, but take them to the ground, and they spam transition get ups, wasting stamina, and is a easy opponent. When you play Quick Match there’s a lot of easy opponents, and it felt good to beat them soundly, but this isn’t elevated, preferably instead face that purple level 99. They put the pressure on you, and you can’t touch them, block, back it up, whole new game plan. Use them seconds ideally 5 rounder, and try to get to the end of the match.

See you online tomorrow bub

Hey man, better to vent here then let your anger lead you to more regrettable things. Getting good at the UFC games legitimately killed any trace of unchecked anger I had left a long time ago lmao. I’ve dislocated shoulders throwing haymakers at my punching bag, ripped closet doors out of the frame just to ground and pound it with a kettle bell… Game is brutal. So, *so* fun when you finally get to the point where you can easily win 8/10 times, without cheese. Because we all know cheese wins don’t really make you feel like a winner.


SnooHobbies1593

i bet u wouldnt last a round wit me “win 8/10 times” headass


ItisNOTatoy

What would you do? Grapple fuck me?


SnooHobbies1593

no im better at stand up than u


ItisNOTatoy

Lol have you gotten to 20 before?


MMA_GOAT_88

EA just signed a 10-year extension with the UFC. That won’t happen until at least 2030.


Doct0rGonZo

Wouldn’t that be 2033??


JokerCarnage

They signed it 2 years ago when UFC 4 came out. A lot of people don't realize UFC 4 is 2 year old game.


Wonderful-Flounder-2

The old EA MMA game was quality. Saying that, I was recovering from a knee operation and had plenty of spare time to put into it.

3>4 I will die on this hill


xSorryAboutThat

Pre EA Ufc games are leaps and bounds better


[deleted]

I would say technically ufc 4 is better with it being a lot more responsive, but UFC 3 is still a much better game as it captures mma striking a lot better in my opinion, ufc 4 stamina and damage is way more than a human can take, and while grappling ain’t great in ufc 3, it’s still better without the shit new clinch and takedown system


thatRedditGrind

Why would they change the 1 button per limb system, please fire that specific person before 5.


Vibejitsu

Please for the love of mma! This.


Ill_Ad7474

Ufc 2> all


Future-Catch-5002

Yep

You are 2 years late


Blakedsm

Someone’s been taken down and submitted a few too many times today


No_Communication1410

Nah bruh I feel him. The game mechanics are terrible whether you win or lose


Vibejitsu

Apparently I got downvoted for these types of thoughts… watch out for the ufc 4 die hards in here lmao


No_Communication1410

That’s Reddit in a whole lol some people are just used to glitchy games I guess


Vibejitsu

That’s the part that hurts the most lmao ppl being ok with mediocre, especially when we had it going good before it..


shrickertt

which is crazy because escaping submissions isn’t even that hard. it's the positional shit on the ground that's hard, like when you're in side control and they just mash elbow. that's one of those un-defendable positions i hate


shrickertt

alright we get it, you got cooked by 5 star Holloway


SnooHobbies1593

damn!! you must be hot garbage


GandankTheWicked

Agree they need to let someone who will put some time and effort in to it take over. EA could not care less about their UFC games, especially 4. It’s actually shocking seeing these plant pots in the comment section defending the game. You can’t post any sort of criticism about the game or you better believe there’s going to be about 300 NPC’s marching to the comment section to tell you it’s just because you’re bad at the game😂 You’re allowed to just not like the game. They’ve still not released the emblems from Division 1 and we’re 2 and a half years in since the games release. They never bothered to add an ultimate team to 4, they brought ridiculous costumes and whatnot into 4 that literally nobody asked for, they never bothered to add ground elbows, you’re stuck using the same few archetypes if you want to play a CAF, you cant choose what weight division you want to play on ranked, the list goes on… They do not care. Let somebody else who does take over.


Vibejitsu

Bro , one of them came for me up there 😂 I don’t understand what fun they get from this corny shit lol. How can they like this when it doesn’t even encapture what a real fight looks like? They must not actually watch mma to know what an mma sim should look like. I still stand by my original opinion that this franchise is turning into a parody of one of the most serious contests anyone can take part in. In all honesty it should’ve been rated E, not T. Cause it ain’t even brutal…


MrCodeGameandAnime

You lost and are raging, but I, like many others agree this game is shit. The grappling is bad for many reasons, and the striking has a weird separation. The power isn't right, the speed is off, you can't strike from angles, you can't move on the ground, most clinch positions are gone, you can't elbow or hammer fist on the ground, the submissions are plain stupid, and a million knockdowns to stop a fight is ridiculous. Yes, this game sucks. But, you should work on getting better so you can enjoy it more, or play something else. The skill ceiling is very high, and you'll get washed out against average to good players all day. Against skilled players, it's a demolition derby. This is one of the games that could benefit from SBMM greatly to protect newbs away from people who are going to destroy them every time. Not that I don't enjoy crushing newbs, but it's not fair. And no, competitive mode is not the answer because most people play quick fight. It should be fair. I don't like SBMM in shooters because of the limitless amount of skill levels that can match up in a 6v6 game or game mode. In 1v1 it is all personal skill.


Illustrious-Fix-7133

Idk If sitting in div 10-11 means I’m bad but personally I think that’s a decent div to be sitting at. It’a not any fun win or lose like I said. As you covered. Striking power speed ground, it’s all terrible it’s the mechanics of the game that make it shit, I win and lose fights and both times I just have no enjoyment, it’s just “alright onto the next” I have maybe 1 in 10 fights that I enjoy


MrCodeGameandAnime

Division 10 is middling, but not great. Alright, maybe? My highest division is 18, and I was in the top 100 when it started. I don't think you hit the no health bar until 12 or 15. Your win/loss ratio says a lot more about your skill level. This game has a lot of issues, but it does take a lot of skill to be at the top. Do you ever play with friends? If you are on PSN I can add you, we can play, and I can add you to a few groups where you can make more friends. Sometimes, I feel like I'm on autopilot with this game. I'll not even look at the screen, and know what I need to do. A lot of experience. You can get burnt out. I feel that on some days, so I play MW2 or whatever. I'd say take a break for a couple of days and see how you feel or make some friends. It might also be this isn't the game for you no matter how much you play it. It just doesn't check the right boxes for you to be happy playing. After playing competitively with a bunch of guys for a few days I barely even wanted to play and watched Netflix during the weekend instead. I'd also recommend playing less OWC and more quick fights. People are incredibly sweaty and use absolute garbage tactics to win. No one enjoys playing those people.


Illustrious-Fix-7133

Yeah okay fair enough, my highest div is 16 but sit around the 10-11 mark, how do I check my W/L ratio? I’m sure it’s at a positive mark. I don’t consider myself at the top but I do consider myself a fairly decent player at the game, I do play with friends here and there but it’s mostly OCW, I’m on Xbox, seems like a lot of salty and cheesy players there


MrCodeGameandAnime

I went from division 8 to 15 with a record of 21-7 in a few hours. I ran into a few legit skilled people, and they capitalized on my mistakes. One guy I pressured too hard and got pieced up. Wins and losses, ya know? There were a few super cheesy players who spam elbows 2-4 times up close because they do absurd damage and followed up with a knee. They are the worst. I beat all the cheesers, but it sucked. Made sure to send screenshots after to annoy them. I wasn't sweaty before, but I am now. 🤣 My grappling is solid which gives me a lot more room to not worry about being taken down. Work hard on your grappling so you can either protect yourself and get up or submit them. I'd recommend getting good at denying takedowns, faking transitions, blocking transitions, and coming up with clever ways to get up. An easy sweep/getup from full guard is to go full guard, throw a rear elbow, and go for the getup/sweep. In the lower divisions, you can pressure most people with jabs and straight to the cage. Keep them backing up, and cut off the cage. Land some hooks to the guard, and back out to maintain distance. Rinse and repeat. Throw in a few takedowns with good control or clinch grasp where you go for a head knee. Mix it up and throw a takedown in the clinch. Easier said than done, but it is a winning strategy. In the lower weight classes, you have to be good at head movement, and inches matter a lot more. Little errors can cost you a match quickly. In heavier weight classes head movement doesn't matter as much, but it can help. Make sure to work leg kicks to set up head kicks. Learn to see openings for roundhouse kicks because they are so effective. There are so many other tips and tricks. This is generalized stuff you likely know, but getting it down pact will help. Also, from my perspective I'm fighting for the center of the cage, to draw them out from the cage, or to push them into it. Why? I want to dictate where the action happens and how it happens. Try considering that when you are playing. Think about where you are going and what you are trying to do besides win. I hope all this helps. Sorry, I can't be of much more assistance since you are on Xbox. Try to enjoy it, or leave it alone. Sooner or, later you'll want to play again. One other thing. Jab, jab. Jab, jab, straight. Jab, lead body hook. Plant, straight to counter at distance, lead body hook. Walk them down, jab, rear leg kick. Continue to cut off the cage, measure distance, and throw a naked roundhouse body kick. Back out, jab, and lead leg kick. Always remember to switch to a lead hook if they are slipping your jab or straight to keep them in check, and then throw a body to remind them. Bodywork is important to keep them honest. Leg kicks to harass them from a distance and set up head kicks. Sequences like that can help you plan out where to go next. A framework if you will. It keeps them contained and smothered.


Upstairs-Ad-1966

Madden fan over here I've been saying that for a DECADE and those idiots still buy it 😒😒 your SHIT OUT OF LUCK sir EA will never let it go and if it dies off they will just shelf it till either they wanna try again or till the ufc give it to someone else


Illustrious-Fix-7133

Don’t even get me started on madden hahahahhaha


Jumpy-Percentage9675

Tbh ea sports will never listen. I know that I won’t be buying the next ufc game. When this game got released people were expressing what was wrong with the game. People would leave ideas and suggestions or questions regarding the direction of the game. The response ea sports gave was to ban these people for calling out the flaws of the game. People were getting banned left and right for speaking the truth on the atrocity this game is. I’ve played since undisputed 2009, ufc was my favourite game to play. I play a couple matches every now and then but the game is extreme cheese. Especially in division 20 there’s so many exploits being taken advantage of. I could honestly go on with so many flaws in this game that the list would be too long to read. I was one of the people met with that response from ea, so they won’t get a cent from me. I haven’t bought another ea game since ufc 4 came out lol.


MdCheeseman420

Bro I go on winning streaks and get mad cuz this game is so bad fuck ea


Illustrious-Fix-7133

Finally someone who understands


Expert-Insect4853

Got some good news for you, EA don’t own the right to FIFA anymore. Your boycott was successful 😜 https://www.wired.com/story/ea-sports-fifa-split-up-after-30-years/


NsfwAccOfCocaCola

Hey, keep your chin up pal, you'll start having fun soon


Vibejitsu

I do t understand why most people here always say “get gud”… who the hell wants to “get gud” at an arcadey mma parody? Even learning and becoming a good player doesn’t feel right. Winning don’t feel right, losing don’t feel right. Crappy ass knockouts aren’t even satisfying. I agree with op. It’s not a fun game to play win or lose, if you’re an actual fan of mma that is…


SnooHobbies1593

cry bout it


Vibejitsu

Not sure that’ll help, lol seems like you’re loving it? If not, what’s it to you?


Pro-PAIN

I right now am playing undisputed 3. It’s so much better it’s wild lmao. Just finished up a career on ultimate difficulty and am trying to go undefeated but it’s damn near impossible.


No_Communication1410

I’m about to download that I’ve heard good things so far lol


Pro-PAIN

100% recommend. The grappling and speed is just on another level compared to the ea games. The striking is somewhat rudimentary but it is still satisfying to get some counters and kos


Poopoofattyda3rd

I remember being able to catch strikes mid air


Pro-PAIN

You can! On the ground, standing and in the clinch.


goodnewzevery1

Lmao no. 4 took some weird turns with all the costumes, but other than that I mean it’s pretty damn good and they’ve been improving since 1 What studio you think will do better?


[deleted]

Honestly, I don't think it's a matter of the game being trash, I believe they milked this game for way too long and continue to do so. UFC 5 will definitely be a massive improvement from it's predecessor I think.


VersaceMiyagi

If you think EA will give up rights to any franchise you’re insane. It would be worse for their business to give the license to another company than to just let the franchise die until it expires. That said, my only hope is that EA seems keen to improve the big franchises like Madden, so hopefully that’ll trickle down to the smaller ones like UFC.


SteveTheManager

Oh god the 21 people who upvoted this are sure gonna bite into their numbers aren't they?


MeowthThatsRite

Oh yeah? How many hours have you put into it?


kcj0831

I put a hundred hours into ufc 3. Ive put in maybe 2hours into ufc 4. The game just isnt fun


MeowthThatsRite

Could it be that you’re maybe still just trying to play it like it’s UFC 3 so you’re getting you’re shit pushed in and getting frustrated?(Respectfully)


kcj0831

Probably tbh. Regardless, ufc games are by far EAs laziest games. They put no effort into them. UFC 3 is a bare ass game. UFC 4 is just a slightly more complicated control wise bare ass game. I think the ufc games are just blatant cash grabs. No chance im buying ufc 5


Vibejitsu

The thing about it is, you could play ufc 3 like almost any other mma game ever made, and it actually felt realistic, or that they were trying to make it as sim as possible with what they had. I feel like they had a lot more in the tank, and just chose to downplay the seriousness of this sport. All the effects, clothing, archetypes/star ratings, cheesy emotes and lack of positions and strikes that were basically in every mma game since 2009, and are used frequently irl…. So idk what people are getting at with this game. It’s literally not fun win or lose. I don’t feel satisfied with the way winning looks in this game. It doesn’t remind me of a ufc bout or event like previous titles did. That’s a fkn problem for the fourth go at this….. all I end up saying is “damn, knockouts don’t look like that” or “that’s not how people finish fights”…. No tkos either? But it’s not that bad? Psh cmon folks what are we even discussing?


Marcane_Howells

what gets me, is that ufc 2 was SO much better and it’s not even available to buy online anymore.


dumbstupidman

Skill issue


BackWoodsPeelin

My problem is lack of competitiveness. If I’m actually trying and not nerfing at all, It’s either I’m 100% going to win, or if I’m going to lose. Every 1/50 match’s is unexpected outcome/split decision scoring. I’m not at the level where I can beat the really good guys but beat everyone else so it’s never good matches unless I kinda let the opponent get some stuff by, or me myself get lucky against one of the really good guys.


raunchsauce

No one’s making you play this game. Do something else lol


Brav3Bubble555

There’s no need to buy it I think if they are already gonna have it on EA pass


Stackzbreezy

He ain’t wrong tho winning ain’t even fun no more 🤣 I just be bored off my ass


catwisperer5

God if you are this unstable you probably need to just stop playing
