Hey, thanks for the reply.
I bought the disc but anywhere on the xbox store UFC 1 and 2 are "unavailable". I've tried different devices and logins but it simply isn't there to download. No error comes up when the disc is inserted, because it isn't available in the store to authorize the install. I didn't buy it digitally because back when the games came out I didn't have the internet to spend on the games. I bought it new from EB Games. Even on my PS4 UFC 1 doesn't show up on the store page, and UFC 2 only has the deluxe edition. I doubt it's an Xbox problem, it would make more sense if my issues were "resolved" without comment because it's been removed from the store. This "glitch" has been going on for weeks and weeks so I have little faith in playing one of the good games in the series, since UFC 4 was such a disappointment. I'll try Microsoft support, and Sony support, who I'm sure are responsible and not EA, who developed and published the games
Community ManagerYes that's what I said.
I have the discs, I insert the discs, nothing comes up, so I went to the store, and both games are now unavailable to purchase. What I was saying before is that usually when you insert a disc, the game installs. However, it is now totally unavailable in the store. Are you telling me that if it's unavailable in the store, that it will install anyway when a disc is inserted? Because that's what isn't happening. There is no option on an Xbox One to download manually with a disc, without using the store, for obvious DRM reasons.
My console is newly updated and this problem has persisted over months. The reason nobody else has had this problem is likely because not many people uninstalled the game and then tried to reinstall them now they've been made "unavailable". I'll try power-cycling and checking my account but I have no other issues with any games that aren't UFC 1 or UFC 2. 3 is available and is redownloadable too. I'll update when I've tried these fixes too.
Thanks
Community ManagerHey. Thanks for following up.
No I tried all those suggestions and none of them changed it.
UFC 1, 2 and 3 are "currently unavailable" on my Xbox One, with a disc, on two seperate accounts. And 1, 2 and 3 are also "currently unavailable" on the PS4 store too. I doubt it's my console since I've updated it, power cycled it, not to mention the games aren't available to buy on my phone online either for both stores.
Unless EA retroactively region locked the games for Oceania only (which is terrible considering I spent significant money buying all 3 games new), or its unavailable for more than just my region.
It sucks because of the downward trajectory of the series. UFC 1 sucked compared to Undisputed 3 or even EA MMA and the Fight Night series, UFC 2 was the height of the series (which the features slowly being stripped away in follow ups), and 3 and 4 were rinse and repeat cash grabs. Luckily you guys heard our complaints about buying movies as microtransactions in 3, only to then drop a bunch of awful looking cosmetics, in a sport with a regulated uniform (which isn't a feature anymore, you actually can't even choose the shorts fighters actually wear! Only denim bs and holographic underpants...)
I'm a massive MMA and UFC fan, so I would buy any combat sports game (and I have!). Either theplentiful bugs, awful ground game, and lack of general content in 4 improves miraculously, or the other games become available again. Otherwise I'll have to switch back to Undisluted 3 on my PS3, and avoid EA from now on. The games don't even have to be good, they just have to work.
