PRIDE mode, Bareknuckle mode, KO follow-up striking

UFC 6 is genuinely fun. But, I know for certain im not the only one that wants more “hardcore” options in regards to gameplay 

First things first, the little “comic book” style decal that overlays your strike/where you strike the opponent is really unnecessary. I’m not sure what the reasoning behind adding that was, but all it does is further remove you from any sense of realism. Why go so in depth with the new bleed/cut system, and then have something as gimmicky as that?

Second, kumite and backyard brawl needs to go. Nobody turns on UFC 6 to play these game modes. Complete waste of resources. Scratch them and bring back PRIDE. Playing the older games that had both UFC and PRIDE was a breath of fresh air, with the different ruleset between the two. Soccer kicks, leg stomps, etc. I remember reading somewhere that mapping out animations takes months of work. That’s okay. The fans want PRIDE back. if you can’t obtain the licenses, make your own fake org with their ruleset for the game

As for the backyard brawling. Why, genuinely why do they have gloves on. Bare knuckle is where you draw the line? The game is too graphic because their fists show? Just changing up the backdrop, removing the very out of place college NPCs that look like they all work in marketing and graphic design, and removing MMA gloves from this gamemode would be more than enough for a bare knuckle mode. Of course, including soccer kicks and leg stomps

 

Lastly, why can we not follow up KOs with subsequent strikes on the ground? Why has no EA game allowed this? I dont see how it is too graphic if that is the reasoning. This is a video game about hurting people with your body as the arsenal. It’s already violent, including the OPTION to follow up with subsequent strikes, as the old UFC games allowed, and as real life permits, should not be an issue. The amount of blood on the canvas and how cut up the players get is already violent, allowing this should be a non issue

Do devs ever respond to these threads? I so badly want to speak with one about this, I want concrete reasoning as to why these things arent in the game. if you ask any user who purchases these games every release they will agree with all 3 points made in this thread. the fans WANT this. It is not impossible to do, so why has it not been done?

  • They’d probably have issues with Pride mode because it’d be almost promoting now illegal actions in MMA like the soccer kicks, and if I’m being honest there’s little reward behind making such a thing, 90% of people will still play regular online because there’s a meta they’re used to
