EA UFC 3

I'd say no chance they'll get Jimmy in now, depending how he does for the UFC, I'd say he'll be a lock for the next game. I still haven't seen confirmation of Faber and snoop Dogg are commentating the KO mode as I had read about ages ago, that would be a laugh.

Pics of each gym so ye can start deciding who to go with. I think for me it will depend on who my training partners are at each gym, wouldn't mind seeing a whole roster instead of just one division.

FRC Legion



Harrower Hug Squad Jiu Jitsu



Carisi's Gym (Gym from Fight Night Champion)



Crossbreed MMA

Roster starting to be revealed. Men's FLW and BW today. Men's FW and LW tomorrow.

LW and FW divisions are stacked but the most important bit is if you click Compare fighters, the GOAT Artem is listed there with stats. I would love if he was in the game, would be my go to guy for online fights. Strange he is listed at LW though.

Dev also confirmed Darren Till and Justin Gaethje are day 1 free DLC fighters.

Great info ZC. Do I have a choice when buying game different versions or single version? Hate all this **** with games with the content different on versions.

Here are the differences between standard and championship edition. Basically champ edition of you're into ultimate team and want it 3 days early. If you are getting that and own UFC 2, go to the main menu of ufc 2 and there will be adds you can scroll through. One of them will take you to the store and get 10% off so you get it for 81 instead of 90 euro. The standard is 70 euro for a digital copy.

Smyths are selling the standard for 55 if you preorder it online and collect in store

Cheers, haven't a clue what ultimate team is and don't have ufc2. Already prebooked on smyths so just go with that.

You create 5 fighters that make up your team, play single player or online, earn points to buy packs that will contain moves, stat boosts, etc. It was my most played mode in UFC 2 and never had to spend a penny on buying packs with real money. You should definitely give it a look when you get 3.

No roster reveal today but someone got the rest of the fighters from the live stream yesterday.

How early does your pre order have to be for early access? Can I buy the champ champ version on Thursday and get early access

Yupp, anyone at all up to the launch day of it, 29th.

Yeah at first I thought the pro's could be an okay edition but they're really not. I hated coming up against them in the beta and not just because of their better starting stays than a cafe but I just like seeing people's different creations. Then the pros have random stats so it's basically like an overpowered caf with a pro skin I know other sports games have you collecting real players but you just can't do that with a UFC game.

Unless of course Artem makes it in, he'd be the first Pro I'd look for and have no problem building him into the true GOAT.

All the changes from the beta to the launch game, some great stuff here. Iminari roll was super nerfed, superman elbow added as requested by Angela hill who mo capped it, Nate throws up the Westside sign instead of the rock sign when he does his signature triangle.

Cafs can use fighters signature movements and features. Your guy/gal can have the Diaz triangle of you pick the Diaz posture. Not sure exactly how that works though.

Ton of really meaningful additions to make the game even better than the beta, can't wait to play it.

Expect lots of information this week as the Xbox ea trial is live on Thursday.

For anyone interested, Might Mouse is at EA livestreaming the game at 9pm GMT. He will be playing with lead gameplay dev Geoff to show off the mechanics and then with Bassi (in charge of career) to show off career mode. Will be worth watching for the gameplay part, don't want to see the career bit.

How come no interest in the career mode? Is it to not spoil any storyline?

Yupp, can't wait to play it and already saw little things that I would have liked to experience myself.

Axwell, the rocked guy can deny the sub and it's an insta 1 gate sub, very little chance of escape, same as surviving GNP. It's risky but stylish as ****.

Yeah when the roster was first revealed the website guys made an absolute balls of things. People had the wrong stats and some were in the wrong division. Artem was listed but no sign of him now.

stephenl15 wrote: »

Surely Artem has a high enough rep to be in the game Every second comment on anything MMA related is Artem GOAT

Yeah hopefully he makes it as DLC. A ton of people would use him.

Something genuine about Smoove, he's not clickbaity shouty shouty and he didn't lick devs holes, calls them out when needed

I saw this on twitter, top 10 ultimate team leaderboard. This guy got to level 60 with his 10 hour trial. All jiu-jitsu guys on his team as well, I'd say he was spamming subs like a mad man.

That's UFC 2 not 3 :P

Ah thank ****!! No way you could be competing with that :pac:

Dev explaining the reasons of the update.

Grapple stamina:

Previously, you lost practically no long term stamina if you spent a whole round grappling compared to a whole round striking.

This broke the between round stamina regen meta.

If you spend any significant amount of time on the ground, you'd end up with way too much stamina at the end of the fight.

It was really obvious to me during the DJ stream when they fought a HW fight and ended the fight at full stamina.

The goal of this change is to make a full ground of active grappling drain a similar amount of long term stamina as a full round of active striking.

Submission gate speed

there was a legit problem. They were impossible to escape from without the attacker making a mistake in stamina scenarios that we didn't want to be a guaranteed success.
