Everyone who still plays UFC 5, including me, just wants a normal competitive mode — where fights are decided by skill, timing, and reading your opponent.
Right now it’s the opposite: RNG decides everything, spam gets rewarded, defense means nothing, and you’re punished just for not being the host.
There’s no real ranked mode while the game runs on P2P. Whoever hosts lands faster strikes, cancels grappling transitions easier, blocks everything before it even starts.
Meanwhile you’re stuck lagging, missing shots, getting denied for no reason.
Muay Thai is a legal exploit at this point. Fake kicks to close distance, auto-lunge straight, then spam knees to the body that break through blocks.
You read it, you block it — doesn’t matter. The system still rewards it.
There’s no competition in a game where connection is more important than skill.
Also, another bug: I stood right in front of the opponent and used a taunt. The moment it finished, I got a controller bug. I pressed R2 and tried to duck, but my fighter just froze, didn’t react at all, and I got KO’d instantly.
You’ll probably say “just don’t use taunts” — maybe YOU should remove them instead? Or better yet, finally make this game feel like a real competitive fighting game?
I never post like this, but honestly — you deserve to hear it. Just play one match of your own game and feel how broken it is.
Just imagine — such a huge company, and after all this time, you still can’t fix basic mechanics or deliver a proper experience.
The only thing you’re consistent with is monetization — and even that you manage to screw up.
I have zero reason to support your monetization system while the game itself is in this state.
Soon I’ll probably quit. I’m tired — tired of bugs, silence, no fixes, and no vision.
Until this game becomes actually competitive, I’m not spending a single coin.
You’ve made enough money just from UFC 5 alone — and still did nothing to improve gameplay.
No fixes, no real improvements. Just more paid Alter Egos. Great job.
We’re losing this industry. People with real passion and vision are being replaced by those who care only about squeezing profit — instead of at least trying to show real progress.
