  • Ok, so new features but…same gameplay. Fighting still looks stiff and the animations are far from realistic. Fight Night has better animations for strikes and movement and it’s how old? This is tough to swallow. Characters really don’t look good either, same as they did in 4. Way too cartoony
  • Nah this is fire that ground game got me hyped
  • Couldn’t you record new animations in 3 years?
  • The animations look the same
  • Looks like the same game with cuts and removed the submission mini-game. Good job. Ufc3.5.5
  • Literally looks like the same game unbelievable
  • Oh no not coach Davis again
  • Why does it look like UFC 4
  • Holy shit the graphics SUCK
  • Y’all are saying ufc 4 actin like u don’t get 2k and madden every year
