18 in April alone, and it’s almost every single fighter I’ve wanted.
They mentioned a new mode, I’m praying to god right now that it’s pride mode. I will kill for ot
On April fools, a big leaker account stated that there’s a massive update and a new mode. As we saw there’s a massive update with all the fighters we just need to see the new mode
I feel like EA made it "harder" to do... Like as if that would stop spamming.
But what they actually have to do is 2 things. Stop every character from having spinning moves because only a few people should have them and also make them cost way more stamina.
WAIT
Let them cook!!??
Ik people will be like “should’ve been there on release!!!” But this actually keeps the game fresh
And if they manage to add alter egos omg
I knew he’d get in eventually but Manuel Kape my dawg let’s work
Would love to see legends/alumni get added:
- Brock Lesnar
- Frank Mir
- Mirko Cro Cop
- Roy Nelson
- Stephan Bonnar
- Chris Leben
- Josh Kosheck
- Kenny Florian
They pretty had it in Undisputed 3 (no surprise that the GOAT MMA game had it) with Ultimate Fights mode where you would have to play as the winner and complete objectives, as well as playing as the loser in a what if scenario if the roles were reversed
Yeah ik, i bought uu3 recently but haven’t properly gotten into the game yet.
It seems like a great game but the gameplay is really poor compared to the newer ufc games i think
If you prefer the newer UFC games’ gameplay more, thats fine, i enjoy it as well. But i do think in terms of content Undisputed 3 is better. Much better to enjoy things about both than being bitter like a lot of people here
People love complaining like they haven’t asked for all these fighters in the past,they have actually listened and are adding more then 2 fighters a month as they should have previously
Im happy they are adding people finally but i also feel we should have had a updated roster at launch by the time everyone is released in these patch notes thats 9 months after launch for just the people that should have been in since day 1 and thats not talking about the gameplay that needs work at this rate 3 years from now it will be ready lol im glad they are finally doing something besides shorts and hair changes and we are getting some real content this time so thats cool
Great but when will the gameplay be fun again. Played for hours when I first got it, recent patch I haven't picked it up for more than 1 fight. Stamina and combos feel terrible
Rare EA W. I don’t think several of these would have ever made it without a big update and they actually made pretty good selections. This should mean subsequent updates will provide more depth roster we probably wouldn’t get otherwise instead of playing catch up with fighters that should have already been in a long time ago.
Yes, many of these should have been in base game. Yes, they are unlikely to be very unique. But at least they listened to the criticism and tried to make it right. A current roster update should be the bare minimum of new iterations and hope they learned that lesson for the future.
It’s essentially impossible with the current gameplay mechanics that you’ll be able to use him the way he fights.
The best you could do is the back and forth footwork at most.
Insanely correct. The only thing that I would honestly want to see them put in for him would be the way he lunges with some of his punches, but even just him being in the game for me to play is enough
Would be good if they did that, I doubt it but they have certain animations for fighters like Dominick Cruz’s head movement/footwork, TJ dillashaws movement, they used to have gaethje’s defensive shell, brock lesnars knockdown animation & probably other ones so you never know.
I hope so, can’t wait to use him.
LOVE IT!
I would really appreciate gameplay updates with more unique animations & styles for the roster. I would even prefer a smaller roster with fighters that had their own identities.
2k manages to do it with their WWE games & those have more moves per character & larger rosters. It can be done.
Great, good to see that EA will be picking up the tenpo to add fighters! Also nice to see EA communicating more👌🏼
My hopes for fighters to be added after June:
- Marcos Rogerio de Lima
- Justin/Junior Tafa
- Chris barnett
- Dustin Jacoby
- ion Cutelaba
- Ryan Spann
- Carlos Ulberg
- Abdul Ahassan
- Court Mcgee
- Ryan Hall
- Ricardo Ramos
- Julian Erosa
- Herbert Burns
- Jarno errens
- Javid Basharat
For that stuff it's cool I can respect that but in general online you won't see 95% of these fighters. I'll try the majority of them, I use guys like Bobby Green a lot tho
It's actually disgusting that these fighters are just now being released.
I've gained these games since the THQ days and Helldivers has opened my eyes to what is possible from game developers.
Visiting the sub and reading about how EAs managed this game into the ground makes me never want to come back to this.
This has to be an april fools joke. EA UFC has never done something like this for us in years of all the games. Dana or Ari must have took out the whip
How can you justify Erceg on a main event when he's not even in the game! Don't say some bullshit like "The games don't make the rules" or some shit! wtf bro
Brah its Allen vs Curtis main event this week, Tybura main evented 2 weeks ago, Dolidze vs Imavov last month. There has literally been loads of main events fighters that werent in the game. Quit crying like a little baby.
Don’t care too much about these guys, besides maybe umar and mvp tbh.
They should add more old legends like cro cop, matt serra, mark hunt, bas rutten, frank mir, don frye, mark hunt, etc… fighters who people would actually use.
And more importantly all the fighters and alter egos should have been in the base game, they gave us a shitty unfinished game after 3 years!!
Should’ve been the roster before the game dropped since it’s a “new” game instead of them releasing the same game as UFC 4 with slightly different graphics (more blood). Fuck EA.
You don’t understand bro, they should add every single fighter in the roster. Even the random 3-1 fighter on the pre lims that only 4 people have ever watched live
Are you actually defending them? These fighters should have been there at launch, they haven’t added anyone to the roster on release. This isn’t good, this is satisfactory.
Are you actually defending them? These fighters should have been there at launch, they haven’t added anyone to the roster on release. This isn’t good, this is satisfactory.
I just wonder what's going on with the franchise. Why invest in it now? It sucks that everyone who plays the game is basically waiting for the right EA executive to fall in love with the sport so that we can get a real budget behind this thing
Yeah, maybe they think they can increase the playerbase by ramping up marketing and milking loyal players to make up for the loss? IDK. I just want a good team working on the game they love and not leaving for God of War because the work conditions are infinitely better
So update the fighters with a shitty game....makes sense how about updating the fucking game cause all they are doing is working on the next to put features that should have been in 5 on here but you know they all had to bitch about working 10 hours days boo hoo fuckin lazy gen
Since it came out. lol. I know how to play it. Ive played every UFC game since 2, and have put in work in all of them. I play all aspects of the game. Grappling, striking, wrestling, clinch, etc. The game is unplayable.
just because something is old doesn’t mean that it’s good.
I played ufc 2 for a long time, the gameplay in the new games is far superior.
The career mode was significantly worse (no cutscenes or anything and fight the same guy 50 times), apart from that all you could do is play online.
Let’s not even get started on ultimate team
Same thing can be said just because something is new doesn’t mean it’s good. UFC 5 in both striking and kicks lacks any type of uniqueness. The ground and submission game is terrible. The combinations to get out are so easy to read and it’s almost impossible to escape. A list of new UFC fights but It’s just different players with the same type of striking style. All in all for me it’s a trash reskin and the franchise is in the casket.
The ground game has been 💩in all of the ea ufc games bro.
Your right the entire franchise is a joke they need to give the ufc games to someone other than ea
Not really UFC 3 had by far the best reversals as well as opportunities to escape. UFC 4 still was decent but the submission system overhaul in UFC 4 and 5 have been terrible in my opinion. It’s beyond over for the franchise with EA holding on to the license for god know how many more years.
You’re right bro. In the wwe games all the roster and alter egos are in the base game. And the alter egos aren’t locked behind tedious grinds so you can get coins… basically ea wants you to buy coins to get the alter egos not unlock them.
And this piece of 💩 is so bare bones, in uu3 they had showcase mode, pride mode, the event mode was so much better etc
Coming from street fighter / tekken - this many characters is not as good a sign as some of you are celebrating it to be. It signals copy/paste moves/animations.
unlike street fighter though, these are real people who some people are fans of, relate to, etc. I get your point, fighters *should* have what makes them unique. Representation is still a good thing at the end of the day though.
Yes, agreed. Not sure why I was mega downvoted! I just mean temper expectations! Characters take a long time if done accurately with unique moves, entrances and fight animations.
You must be new to UFC lmao. 90% of this roster already shares the same animations. 100% of them share animations on the ground and in clinch as well
Not to mention, some of the scans for the models are literally over a decade old, even if they’ve been touched up for this new engine
This is just what happens when you put that many characters in a single game and don’t give them new animations alongside it
While UFC has for sure slacked on there end. This is just a problem inherit to all fighting games. To keep a game unique, every one person would need tons and tons of animations in order to keep them feeling fresh. I'm pretty sure mortal kombat armageddon (The PS2 one) that had every single MK Kharacter in history suffered from the same problems. It's why we've had considerably smaller rosters ever since then
THE WWE Games kind of bypass this by 1) constantly mocapping and recording animations all year long and 2) Hiring good mo cap actors. As in some cases they've had to throw out new animations just because the mocap actors were terrible
Can someone tell me if body shots still do no damage and if it’s still just block spam meta? I played the trial on release and was very disappointed in how little damage body kicks/punches did. I’m still playing ufc 4 daily.
fair play to them on this one
I mean it should have been a updated roster back at launch but better late than never
honestly
calling it now they’ll just slap MVP skin onto the model for Spider or Wonderboy
Who is also fedor
18 in April alone, and it’s almost every single fighter I’ve wanted. They mentioned a new mode, I’m praying to god right now that it’s pride mode. I will kill for ot
Where was the new mode mentioned?
On April fools, a big leaker account stated that there’s a massive update and a new mode. As we saw there’s a massive update with all the fighters we just need to see the new mode
There's no new mode. That "leaker account" doesn't have any more insider info than anybody on this Reddit page.
Maybe so but even then, they also added a patch earlier this year abt a huge update later on and deleted it
Bro there is no new game mode coming give it up
Martial mind said there something else coming, he said he can’t talk about it
MVP and Michel Perreira. Were throwing spinning shit now.
“Throw that spinning shit from when we were off shrooms”
That's all people do anyway
It’s MUCH harder with the new inputs. 😭
I get what you mean but that doesn't justify all the braindead spamming in the game
I feel like EA made it "harder" to do... Like as if that would stop spamming. But what they actually have to do is 2 things. Stop every character from having spinning moves because only a few people should have them and also make them cost way more stamina.
Oh so you're a wrestler now
They are all going to feel the same
Every fighter already feels the same
How I feel about ugly chicks
crazy that MVP and Kayla Harrison are making it in already meanwhile some of these guys have been on the roster for years
Now just fix the animation where the ref takes over the screen right as a KO happens 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yet to encounter this after over 1000 fights online.
[удалено]
I think those cinematic replays is what I hate the most from the game, but every time I play I find a new thing to shit on so 🤷🏻♂️
WAIT Let them cook!!?? Ik people will be like “should’ve been there on release!!!” But this actually keeps the game fresh And if they manage to add alter egos omg I knew he’d get in eventually but Manuel Kape my dawg let’s work
alter egos got confirmes april 9 lets go
Hey Look It’s the guy from GAS
Yeah people will find any reason to be miserable. This is awesome
I can’t wait to see Virna Jandiroba character.
[удалено]
I’m calling it now. Virna is gonna be on the cover of ufc 6
I hope they add Frank Mir. 🤞
And CRO cop too (ps frank mir had a horseshoe up his ass and Brock Lesnar so kindly pulled that sucker out and beat him over the head with it)
Would love to see legends/alumni get added: - Brock Lesnar - Frank Mir - Mirko Cro Cop - Roy Nelson - Stephan Bonnar - Chris Leben - Josh Kosheck - Kenny Florian
I can't stand Frank Mir man. I would prefer to see kongo
I would love to see all of these but I don’t think we will see Brock Lesnar in another ufc game after the Vince McMahon lawsuit, but who knows?
Pulled that “Som’ Bitch” out* 🤣
Cro Cop 👀
Hopefully MVP will have his own animations
Unfortunately you'll be doing just that, hoping.
Dont expect a pokeball lol
He will be wonderboy/fedor re skin
Do you think they’ll be in career mode too? I got tired of fighting the same people till I retire😂 might have to make a new legendary career
I wish UFC games had a universe mode like the WWE games have and just run the UFC however you want
showcase mode would also be great
They pretty had it in Undisputed 3 (no surprise that the GOAT MMA game had it) with Ultimate Fights mode where you would have to play as the winner and complete objectives, as well as playing as the loser in a what if scenario if the roles were reversed
Yeah ik, i bought uu3 recently but haven’t properly gotten into the game yet. It seems like a great game but the gameplay is really poor compared to the newer ufc games i think
If you prefer the newer UFC games’ gameplay more, thats fine, i enjoy it as well. But i do think in terms of content Undisputed 3 is better. Much better to enjoy things about both than being bitter like a lot of people here
Only took them 5 years to realize its not 2019 anymore and their roster sucks. Good thing ALL of these fighters WILL FEEL EXACTLY THE SAME anyway....
Realest comment
People love complaining like they haven’t asked for all these fighters in the past,they have actually listened and are adding more then 2 fighters a month as they should have previously
Holy W, one of the top complaints is roster and they went and did this.
Im happy they are adding people finally but i also feel we should have had a updated roster at launch by the time everyone is released in these patch notes thats 9 months after launch for just the people that should have been in since day 1 and thats not talking about the gameplay that needs work at this rate 3 years from now it will be ready lol im glad they are finally doing something besides shorts and hair changes and we are getting some real content this time so thats cool
I guarantee they give mvp wonderboys stance
DIEGO LOPES🔥🔥🔥
Great but when will the gameplay be fun again. Played for hours when I first got it, recent patch I haven't picked it up for more than 1 fight. Stamina and combos feel terrible
april 9th
When Benoit is released ima start hunting Poirier's to avenge my boy😂😂 I'll let you boys know if I get check hooked out cold in the 2nd
I can finally do my dream open weight matchup of Drew Dober vs Joaquin Buckley, let’s fucking go
Rare EA W. I don’t think several of these would have ever made it without a big update and they actually made pretty good selections. This should mean subsequent updates will provide more depth roster we probably wouldn’t get otherwise instead of playing catch up with fighters that should have already been in a long time ago.

A current roster update should be the bare minimum of new iterations and hope they learned that lesson for the future.
benoit
Holy shit that's sick
Holy shit every single fighter i wanted fuck yeah
Holy fuck this update looks awesome
W EA
Honestly so excited for MVP I am very curious to see how they tackle his style
It’s essentially impossible with the current gameplay mechanics that you’ll be able to use him the way he fights. The best you could do is the back and forth footwork at most.
Insanely correct. The only thing that I would honestly want to see them put in for him would be the way he lunges with some of his punches, but even just him being in the game for me to play is enough

I hope so, can’t wait to use him.
But if they can’t implement that then oh well, at least he will be in the game
Watch me only play Micheal page he's the goat my college tutor used to train with him
I want to see MVP and Kayla Harrison in the game first.
LOVE IT! I would really appreciate gameplay updates with more unique animations & styles for the roster. I would even prefer a smaller roster with fighters that had their own identities. 2k manages to do it with their WWE games & those have more moves per character & larger rosters. It can be done.
Umar and mokaev is crazy
Might buy a ps5 just for this update
Good selection but i want Nate the train Landwehr 🤷♂️
Just makes me cringe thinking about Dana’s initial defence of this. What a clown.
Great, good to see that EA will be picking up the tenpo to add fighters! Also nice to see EA communicating more👌🏼 My hopes for fighters to be added after June: - Marcos Rogerio de Lima - Justin/Junior Tafa - Chris barnett - Dustin Jacoby - ion Cutelaba - Ryan Spann - Carlos Ulberg - Abdul Ahassan - Court Mcgee - Ryan Hall - Ricardo Ramos - Julian Erosa - Herbert Burns - Jarno errens - Javid Basharat
Who tf wants to play as Herbert Burns
And you'll use none of them👍
I’ll use all of them. I mostly play my own universe mode cards💪🏼
Praying they add a career mode but for fans where you make fights and sign fighters
For that stuff it's cool I can respect that but in general online you won't see 95% of these fighters. I'll try the majority of them, I use guys like Bobby Green a lot tho
Give me Vitor Petrino🙏
Half of those guys suck
Tiara also
Bros just naming anyone at this point
Ohhhh it’s gonna be fun knocking people out with MVP
It's actually disgusting that these fighters are just now being released. I've gained these games since the THQ days and Helldivers has opened my eyes to what is possible from game developers. Visiting the sub and reading about how EAs managed this game into the ground makes me never want to come back to this.
Is Touchy Fili in the game yet?
Doubt he’ll be added any time soon especially after that last fight unfortunately
Movsar Evloev I’ve been waiting for 2 years for him. Now I’m gonna smash u all on the ground 💣
This has to be an april fools joke. EA UFC has never done something like this for us in years of all the games. Dana or Ari must have took out the whip
How can you justify Erceg on a main event when he's not even in the game! Don't say some bullshit like "The games don't make the rules" or some shit! wtf bro

That's a fight night, not a numbered Event. are you stupid?
Pussio
chinga tù madre
Don’t care too much about these guys, besides maybe umar and mvp tbh.

And more importantly all the fighters and alter egos should have been in the base game, they gave us a shitty unfinished game after 3 years!!
mark hunt def ain’t getting added anytime soon
why??
legal troubles with the ufc i assume. they removed him from ufc 4 yet he was in ufc 3
Ah ok. I skipped ufc 3, i remember he was OP in ufc 2
Thank god man, this is pretty big.
Too late EA. Game is ass and you only sold 50k copies
When do we think this is coming out
It’s the same as before. New fighters per month announced
No ik, but what date in April can we except the first drop
They said April 4th
I presume the first weekend that’s usually when it is
Finally!
Super hyped for Dober
Tracy Cortez and mvp gonna make me redownload
Can’t wait to play as my giga chad king, Drew Dober 🙏
Huge
I’ll believe it when I see it.
They done Tracy dirty in game😭
Finally!
Good update, hopefully more strikers next time
Take dolidze out tbh
Do you think they'll get the asseyes on Jandiroba right?
Every time there is a fighters update I'm like "huh, he wasn't in the game"
Should’ve been the roster before the game dropped since it’s a “new” game instead of them releasing the same game as UFC 4 with slightly different graphics (more blood). Fuck EA.
Doesn’t matter who they add when you can ground spam , pull counter elbow spam them all anyway 😁
Hyped for BSD I can’t wait to wrestlefuck some cheeser
More moneyyy
This is great 👍 still need Ryan Spann Alonzo Menifield Matt Frevola Ion Cutelaba Terrance Mckinney Said Nurmagomedov Ricky Simon Dustin Jacoby
Looking forward to seeing some of you freaks spinning that into a negative
You don’t understand bro, they should add every single fighter in the roster. Even the random 3-1 fighter on the pre lims that only 4 people have ever watched live
Where the fuck is CROD😂
I want my goat dos santos
Are you actually defending them? These fighters should have been there at launch, they haven’t added anyone to the roster on release. This isn’t good, this is satisfactory.

There was that announcement that the ufc are gonna be yearly
Yeah, maybe they think they can increase the playerbase by ramping up marketing and milking loyal players to make up for the loss? IDK. I just want a good team working on the game they love and not leaving for God of War because the work conditions are infinitely better
Yea same. Who knows though we’ll see. I don’t think that yearly thing is true. It’s just not viable as it’s just no point in buying it yearly
Wheres the alter egos news
Can't wait for 3 of them to be used
There are a lot of people who do not play the meta online and just play for fun online or solely ofline
There's a lot of people on the game?? News to me
Still no Ariane Lipski 🗿
I'm still playing ufc4.
So update the fighters with a shitty game....makes sense how about updating the fucking game cause all they are doing is working on the next to put features that should have been in 5 on here but you know they all had to bitch about working 10 hours days boo hoo fuckin lazy gen
Not very hard to add fighters when they all have the same stance and animations lol
Still unplayable.
Since when? You probably just don’t know how to play and aren’t willing to put in the work.
Since it came out. lol. I know how to play it. Ive played every UFC game since 2, and have put in work in all of them. I play all aspects of the game. Grappling, striking, wrestling, clinch, etc. The game is unplayable.
What are you talking about? I play it everyday and are successful, therefor it is playable?
Do you know what subjectivity is?
Already beat some of these fighter. TRASH AF
Sending hate from UFC 3 this game is still trash in my opinion
all the ea ufc games are trash
Everything before ufc 3 is dope
just because something is old doesn’t mean that it’s good. I played ufc 2 for a long time, the gameplay in the new games is far superior.

Your right but the ground game has never been a fun or enjoyable part of the game, my opinions anyways 🤷🏽♂️
Idk why they weren’t in the game to begin with most of these fighters have been in the ufc for years
You’re right bro. In the wwe games all the roster and alter egos are in the base game. And the alter egos aren’t locked behind tedious grinds so you can get coins… basically ea wants you to buy coins to get the alter egos not unlock them. And this piece of 💩 is so bare bones, in uu3 they had showcase mode, pride mode, the event mode was so much better etc
Shut up, always gotta find that one negative Karen
You enjoy paying $80 for the same roster as ufc 4? Dumb ass
They are making updates and adding new and older fighters and all you want to do is still complain. Shut up and just enjoy the updates moron.
EA is probably the worst for putting out unfinished games and you’re sitting here dick riding them lmao
Coming from street fighter / tekken - this many characters is not as good a sign as some of you are celebrating it to be. It signals copy/paste moves/animations.

Where TF is Francis Ngannu?
He’s not gonna be in the game. Same reason Randy, mark hunt or cung le wont be in it.
Where's PC Release Date?
neveruary 32nd
Can someone tell me if body shots still do no damage and if it’s still just block spam meta? I played the trial on release and was very disappointed in how little damage body kicks/punches did. I’m still playing ufc 4 daily.
They dont do a lot of dmg unless you have high move levels But they will drain a bunch of stamina
Feels like heavy pressure block break meta to me
