Geoff Harrower, our lead gameplay engineer on #EAUFC3 recently posted a video which highlights the new stamina implemented thanks to the feedback you shared with us. In case you haven't seen it yet I'd also advise to check out his amazing article on the changes implemented into UFC 3 and the intricacies of the new gameplay: UFC 3 - RPM TECH STRIKING DEEP DIVE Thanks again for the feedback!

I enjoyed the beta and iam glad to see the changes that are being implemented. I would like to see a few things that were not in the beta. More hair options in create a fighter ( mustache and top hair ). At least one alternate charater modle for ufc fighters, for example dustin porior has short hair in the beta, his alternate modle should have longer hair since his hair is longer now. Also when youve knocked down your opponet and your trying to finish the fight due to strikes, there should be more options other than the one handed finish, you should be able to stike with both left and right hands, left and right knees, left and right elbows, left and right hammer fist, left and right hooks, left and right straights. The ref should pull you off your opponet when he's seen enough. Sways on the ground would be great, and feints on the ground would also be great. And last but not least please add in punches after KO, and more gore rather it be more swealing or more blood, this is UFC and sometimes it gets ugly in the cage. After you have completed a round and the camera goes to the corner man it would be cool if you guys could show both fighters on the screen in stead of just showing the one, maybe show more emotion and diffent animations rather than the same cut scene in ufc 2. O one more thing in ranked and quick match show fighter record.

Geoff Harrower released a second video giving details on more of the updates that were implemented on the backend of the feedback you took the time to send on to us.We can some changes coming to blocking body kicks, along with the submission gate tunning and a few other changes. Thanks & stay tuned for more updates!

Geoff Harrower is back with his 3rd video, this time with the changes knockouts & ragdolls based on the feedback you've provided.

So I have bad internet where I live. Although it is very slow I can still connect my Xbox one to online. I do not have Xbox live for that reason. When I go to play UFC 3 beta it says that it is unable to connect to the EA server. Now my question is do I need Xbox live to connect to the server or is my internet ju st acting up. Obviously you can't tell me if my internet is working or not. When I test the connection it says that it's good to go but some things may not work the right way because that server is down. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Seeing as this is an online multiplayer game, you are going to need Xbox Live Gold to play it.

Thanks for doing this, it shows that you care about what the mma community wants and you do it. Howevet i think to make the game more realistic, the less stamina you have the less strikes or weaker strikes should be able to break your block at a quicker speed. This is realistic. Thanks

The referee should pull you off after you knock out an opponent and you carry on attacking them, or when you tko them. The ref just stands there and waves his hand no ref has ever done this.

Cant watch the videos using Microsoft edge browser for some reason. They start then it comes up with an error saying video unavailable, I tried IE11 and could watch video 2, but had the same error for 1 and 3.
However from what I saw in #2 the changes look good, but until I have an actual play cant say for certain how it will affect game play.

I seriously hope you fix the button layout.the layout really held me up. Please bring back the analog use for upper cuts and hooks.....please.
I love ufc 2 and am a fan of what work you guys put in, but i had a hard time getting into the beta. The mix of real fighters into the created pool is a cool idea we all want out created fighters to fight real UFC Legends and the Tyson like characters too.
