![]() Ultimately, I think this best sums up the career mode in EA Sports UFC 4. ![]() It's a nice idea in theory, but one that ends up feeling a little half-baked in practice. The latter involves "watching tapes" of the opposition, although the reality is that you spend points to see their stats, fighting style and favourite moves. The character models and visuals in general are also starting to show signs of age, which is surprising given this has traditionally been one of UFC and Fight Night's strongest features. It's only when you mount an opponent for the oddly weak ground and pound that striking loses some of its bone-crunching, face-smashing impact. While some of the animations are a little jerky when transitioning to clinches and grappling, striking with your fists and feet is silky smooth. The blood, the sweat and the brutal sound effects come together to create a sickeningly satisfying knockout system for fans who like to throw fists. Perhaps disappointingly, the stand up striking game doesn't feel like it's received as much attention, although I suppose if it ain't broke, don't fix it.Īs a big fan of the Fight Night series, punching and kicking people in the face has always been my favourite part of the UFC games, and that hasn't changed with the latest release. It's not a ground-breaking new addition that completely transforms the game, but it does add extra variety, while further keeping defending players on their toes.
