UFC 4 BUGS BUGS BUGS - SUBS ANIMATION AUDIO GAMEPLAY & PROGRESS
So after my delayed purchase of UFC 4 - after being a long time fan of the previous titles (even with the rubbish sub side game) I hoped to see UFC 4 be the one!
Initially I was impressed but after playing more and more I have discovered so many BUGS/GLITCHES ETC.
1. SUBS - MY GOD WHAT'S THE DEAL
So... during career mode... high star achievements etc. and sometimes/most times it is still impossible to pull off a sub! The sub mini game is a joke! defender able to escape "even if the SUB bar is filled all the way" for execution and their escape bar is "barely filled at all" - no matter what.. even when high stamina FULLY completing mini game thing... PLEASE FIX
sometimes I can easily pull off a sub in training/fights etc. but really doesn't seem to mean "jack" with the mini game/s rotating for sub or triggers... both are a joke! What's the deal!??? It isn't my technique/nor fighter stats - seriously frustrating!
2. WHY IS THERE NO RIGHT STICK IN FIGHTS
WHAT THE HELLLLLL there is sometimes (if not "always") NO RIGHT STICK IN SOME FIGHTS WHYYYYYY unable to do any BJJ and transitioning on the ground at all!!! Can't BE like this surely!!!
3. ANIMATION ETC
Animation weird at times... but also even with some fight intros with Bruce Buffer... he doesn't finish the audio intro before the game cutting to the fighters stood with the ref to touch gloves etc... often cuts off completley or the audio continues but to wrong animation sequences etc.
In fight some weird animation too - but at least get the intro right for the HYPE pre fight so that can at least be smooth and enjoyable without buggy glitches etc. Such amazing graphics and gameplay at times but such a let down in sooo many areas...
4. CORE CLINCH MOVES PROGRESSION in career mode
WHAT IS THE DEAL - ZEEEEEROOOOO progression on the bar ZERO STARS zero acknowledged moves no matter what! Already played through to champ defended many times have high stars on "most" moves/techniques etc. yet this doesn't progress AT ALL - WHY???
5. TRAINING BJJ WRESTLING ETC.
At times impossible to sub the training partner even when filling the bars to pull a sub off... sometimes easy, other times just won't allow it AT ALL and every time they escape no matter how "good" you do on the side game thing. Again a joke! So frustrating!
Also transitioning I don't think it is as good not being able to always have right stick BJJ available & wrestling transitions in "all modes"... this seems a weird change! Was much better before in previous UFC games where you can use both ALWAYS as far as I recall. Not sure if this is a glitch or just how it was supposed to be! When needing to build up transitions in BJJ why make it that you can't transition "at all" during BJJ training! STUPID!
GENERALLY LOVE THIS TITLE BEST VERSION YET.. but these glitches ruin a possible awesome game!
Also.... JOE ROGAN no audio WHY surely you guys could have used clips from the UFC recordings over the years! I know Joe didn't want to do it this time round as hates the process etc. but surely you could use old versions recordings or actually audio from the UFC on TV etc. and overlay on the game... would have been AMAZING to have Joe on this title as well! Seriously missed by all I'm sure his the GOAT and if you can release an update with at least "some" JR on it for us fans that would make the game soooo much more as it should be!!! Great job otherwise... but sad to see these glitches years later still not FIXED..
PEACE!...
