Welp, here it is.
Comes out August 14th
. Graphics look roughly the same with updated facial features & hair for some. Cover looks like what the f---.
Pre-Order content is Tyson Fury & Anthony Joshua as playable fighters
(would have preferred Wilder over AJ, but thats me). New game modes & customization. Below is EA's description on YouTube:
In EA SPORTS™ UFC 4, the fighter you become is shaped by your fight style, your achievements, and your personality. Go from unknown amateur to UFC superstar in the new Career Mode, experience the origins of combat sports in two all-new environments, or challenge the world in new Blitz Battles or Online World Championships to become the undisputed champ. All of your fights will now feel more authentic with fluid clinch-to-strike combinations that offer more responsive stand-up gameplay, and overhauled takedown and ground mechanics to deliver more control in those key phases of the fight.
What do yall think?

3 was easily the best experience yet as far as online went.
I don't do career mode.
I'd like to see 4 have lobbies, like fight night did.
Also, a better fighter net as far as stats go.

Well, it's as expected, they are doing minor changes to the gameplay and adding some new features, like backyard brawling and what looked like a Kumite stage? cool, but I expect it's gonna be extremely similar to the old games, with the same broken online. Still gonna get it though.
I have been waiting for a Fight Night for so long now, I'm disappointed in the constant new UFC games with minor tweeks.

Well you can abuse the grappling stamina system in a myriad of ways to win in the cheapest way possible. The grappling is a mess and falls apart online. The clinch and certain moves/fighters where also so overpowered that you could come up with strategies that where too effective. It's a game that's fun to play online because of the wacky action, but god what an unbalanced mess it is if you try to climb the ranks and play better people.

As long as the grappling is more polished & submission system is overhauled, I will be more than happy.
There are also certain things with stamina that annoyed me in 3, but the grappling is the biggie. That sh-- better be fixed. Looking forward to what they've added & tweaked. I hope to god they've added standing TKOs.

Striking in 3 was worse than 2. This seems so gimmicky with backyard stuff too

I thought the same way for the first few weeks, but I got used to it eventually. Undoubtably complicated controls tho. Sometimes I still laugh at how many buttons I have to press, to throw the combos

That's the issue. The button configurations for 2 was fine. Then they made way too complex

It launched the other day on XBOX & PS4, but only for people that signed up a month ago, who got a beta code from EA.
From my experience (of only a few hours)... f---ing trash. But I think I just need to put in more time. Im letting my brother use the system for the rest of the night, so I'll play more in depth tomorrow. There are plenty of things that have remained the same, but the changes they've made to certain systems/mechanics make a lot of things feel super different. IT COULD BE COOL, but I just need to see if I can get used to it.
I'll probly post my entire Pro vs Con list tmrrw, after I have more time with it, in case anyone is curious about knowing everything. Its going to take a while for me to get used to the new clinch, takedown, & ground pound mechanics. I'm slowly getting there.
I will confirm (as will literally anyone else w/ Beta access), the new submission systems are
B. R. O. C. K. E. N
. Especially joint subs. Ive actually been able to escape a few choke submissions, but its nerve racking & can come at a price if you escape (stamina)

I see what you mean, but EVERYTHING has a counter. It's overpowered when you are a new player, but once you get the hang of the features, it becomes balanced. I'm ranked 60 i Europe, just to brag a little

Yeah but it's a problem when you have to play for 200 hours before it becomes balanced. I found the beginning, when people are rookies, to be awesome and absolutely crazy fun, the mid-tier game when people start to use tactics is where the game falls apart. I have no idea about the end-tier game.
But it's also that the stamina system, where blocking moves pretty much stamina kills your fighter, is an unrealistic and annoying feature of the game. And I don't understand how they could watch MMA and think a fighter gets tired after blocking 3 knees and just gives up and starts to taking them flush. There are some annoying parts I wished they addressed many games ago.

I see, but end-tier is awesome at least, so they got that going for them. And blocking doesn't drain your stamina, blocking drains your arm health. Shots to the body, dodging and throwing (especially if you miss) Drains your stamina.

Exactly.
I bought the game late, last Oct or Nov for 12 bucks in the ps store.
I was getting worked, but I took my beatings and learned.
It got to the point where if you saw your opponent picked Khabib .... you focused on avoiding the crucifix. If they picked cowboy, you were ready to deny the clinch.
You basically knew which b---- *** tactic they were going to use by who they picked ...and right now I can do well with them.
You stop those little cheap spamming positions and they are lost, they have nothing, and they get worked.
I hope they don't ruin the game by dumbing it down for the casuals.
