KO mode isn't in the BETA and per an EA rep I spoke to, it won't be online in the retail version of the game. In this case, the answer might be tweaking the settings in the stand-up game to make players with bad stand-up defense pay a more severe and quicker price for taking clean shots. If one area of the game is less than realistic, so too should be its opposite. This dynamic seems to give players who excel at the ground game an advantage over those who are outstanding at the stand-up. However, the margin of error for an opponent facing Nurmagomedov seems to be drastically smaller than it is for players controlling opponents facing a fighter like McGregor whose biggest weapon is his stand-up game.ĮA UFC 3 still allows fighters to take an unrealistic amount of action before being stopped via head strikes–though you will see the occasional one-hitter quitter.
I don't have a problem with that per se because Nurmagomedov has proven himself to be one of the most dominant top fighters in the sport. That's unfortunate because guys like Khabib Nurmagomedov, who are known for their prowess fighting on the ground, seem to almost impossible to escape if they're in top position. Hopefully, his word output increases for the retail version of the game.īalancing the Impact of Stand-Up And Ground Dominanceīarboza's leg kicks are one of the nastiest weapons I discovered in the BETA, but most of the other fighters in the demo with strong stand-up skills aren't quite as dangerous or a threat to end the fight at any moment as they should be. Anik's lines sound official–except for the glitch that has him referring to Barboza as the Soldier of God–that would be Yoel Romero. The commentary in EA UFC 3 isn't groundbreaking, but I'm surprised how much more I like Jon Anik in the game than I did Mike Goldberg. There are some things that could be improved, but we'll get into those shortly. Nate Diaz's length and boxing skills are major and Conor McGregor's one-strike KO power–especially with his left hand–is serious. The fighters in the BETA have signature skills that align well with their real-life weapons. It's an area where you desperately need to put in the time and effort to craft an approach with your favorite fighters.
There's tons of strategy and timing involved in mastering this important aspect of the game. It is so fun setting up opponents for hard counter shots after using the right stick to utilize head movement while creating new angles to strike. The variety of kicks, punches, elbows, and knees combined with the various sizes, arm lengths and styles of each fighter makes for a unique experience with each guy or girl. The stand-up game is where EA UFC 3 shines brightest. EA UFC 3 Beta Credit: Brian Mazique (EA Sports UFC 3)
