EA Sports UFC 3 release date – When can I play it?
EA Sports UFC 3 will launch on February 2, 2018 on PS4 and Xbox One. It is not known yet whether or not the game will utilise the additional power for PS4 Pro and Xbox One X.
But how the games looks like?
Well, look at the official trailer below...
Is there any Gameplay of the actual game?
Yes, of course! Check the video below...
New Striking
By far the biggest change from EA’s first two UFC games is in the striking department. The team has completely redesigned striking, moving away from the directional-based output of prior years into something resembling a cross between Tekken and a Rubik’s cube.
At first, it’s bewildering – simply throwing a jab, cross, hook, uppercut combo requires eight different buttons. But quickly, it begins to make sense. Now you can move in any direction while firing off strikes, so you can slide laterally while throwing a straight, or move forward with uppercuts.
Striking carries a far greater risk and reward this year. Clean shots will knock your opponent into the ‘rocked’ state far more regularly than before, while spamming heavy kicks or daft spinning attacks will drain your stamina quicker than trying to keep up with a Diaz brother in a Triathlon.
It’s clear that technical, patient striking will be the most successful – although with this being MMA, you can always shut your eyes and wing a couple of overhands at your opponent’s nose and get a lucky KO.
Head Movement
Complementing the new tactical striking is a stick entirely dedicated to head and shoulder movement. The right stick allows you to slip your dome off the center line, before landing a crushing counter.
Playing against online opponents in the beta, it’s been immensely satisfying to wait for a barrage of hooks, duck under a couple, and then return with the kind of uppercut that would make Ryu and Ken nod their heads in admiration.
Ultimate Team
If there’s one universal truth on this earth, it’s that EA loves loot boxes. Maybe a little less so since Star Wars Battlefront 2 caused a $3 billion crash in its stock price – but don’t expect those shiny, dazzling little packs of nonsense to go anywhere soon.
Ultimate Team players in FIFA have been dealing with this for years, and don’t seem to mind, so it shouldn’t come as a huge surprise to see UT return for UFC 3. Albeit with more depth, more customisation, and potentially, more ways to spend (ugh) real money.
Given that MMA is an individual sport, the entire concept of Ultimate Team seems a bit alien for a UFC game. However, when it comes to microtransactions, like life, EA finds a way.
In truth, it’s all rather smart. You enter the online fray (or single player, if that’s how you want to roll) with a roster of four fighters across four weight classes. In EA UFC 3, these fighters can be created by you, or roster guys and gals that you win in packs.
From there, you add moves, boost and perks, effectively recreating your favourite fighters in your own image. It’s odd at first, seeing a Tony Ferguson without a takedown, but expect to see high-level fighters competing most of the time within a couple of weeks of release, much like FUT’s all-star XIs.
Resolution/Frame rate
Now here’s an unusual one. EA UFC runs at 60FPS on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, but 30FPS on the vanilla consoles, in what must be a first for a fighting game. This even translates to online. So, if you’re on the lesser tech then you could be battling against someone with a higher frame rate.
Mannerisms
The original EA UFC suffered in capturing the personality of the sport, and while its sequel did a better job – with some signature taunts and a few animations – EA UFC 3 takes this to a completely different level. Eddie Alvarez plods forward with his shoulders raised, ready to take a couple and give a couple back. McGregor stands tall and rangy, slipping punches and just slightly overreaching on that classic left straight. And best of all, if you wrap someone up in a triangle with Nate Diaz, he flexes his skinny arms and throws up the double fingers, replicating his all-time moment against the long-forgotten Kurt Pellegrino.
