That element is somewhat present in the takedown game of EA UFC 4, and it forces you to get better at stopping takedowns if you don’t want to continue to lose from being pounded out or submitted. If they lose that battle, they are likely to lose the fight. In real MMA, the top priority for guys who are facing Khabib Nurmagomedov, Daniel Cormier, and the like, is to stop the takedown. Stopping takedowns is a little more difficult in this year’s game, but I don’t hate the change. In some ways, it succeeds, but in other ways, which I think are more predominant, it falls a little short. I can’t say that I ever got to the point where I loved that part of the game in EA UFC 3, but I’d arrived at a place of acceptance and average capabilities.ĮA UFC 4 introduces a new system that seeks to simplify things.

The ground game and submissions have always been the most difficult aspect of the game to get a handle on, and that goes for the users and developers. It’s not enough to ruin the gameplay by a longshot, but it’s something that could use some post-release attention. This seems to happen on some of the spinning attacks and side kicks, but not every time. I’ve seen a few too many instances where it appears as though a strike should have landed, but there was either no visual event to represent the impact, and/or no damage was occurred by the person receiving the shot. On the downside of the stand-up component, there are still some moments where the game’s collision-detection system seems to have some issues. Overall, I find the stand-up to be one of the many highlights of the game, and it remains pretty addictive. That’s a best practice for any annual or semi-annual release because it’s never a good idea to force something new on someone who was already satisfied. You’re able to revert back to an old favorite if you’re not feeling one of the new features or elements. That’s a refreshing aspect about several parts of the game.
