Thoughts on control layout?
Hi, I’ve been an avid fan of every UFC game made by EA, they felt like they certainly got better and better up to UFC 3, then UFC 4 came out and it was completely different and imo it was worse than 3. But I did learn to love it and do still love it. Then UFC 5 came out, and that was a game that I could not learn to love, not matter how hard I tried. I stuck with it to get the platinum trophy, but once I did that, I went back to UFC 4, the controls scheme was absolutely atrocious. I leave this here in hopes of the devs somehow coming across this and hopefully acknowledging this, if you agree please leave a reply. Pearl abyss have given me a bit of hope that devs are out there looking to rectify and gripes that devout fans have with the product, but I’m not holding out with EA. Please bring back the old control scheme, don’t bring forward UFC 5’s layout or even attempt to build on it, it really was terrible. This is come from Simeon who across all 5 games so far, has well over 1000 hours. Don’t put the final nail in the franchise’s coffin. Sincerely.UFC 6 IDEA
UFC 6 Is already not sounding great with the confirmation that grappling will remain largely the same. However, all is not lost imo. There are a few factors that can be introduced that would make up for this. I think a big issue with UFC 5 is that with the reworked controls, an issue was made in regards to there not being enough buttons to keep up with the actions like the Osoto Gari trip which we were not able to do due to the input already being bound to a single leg lift takedown. To fix this, I propose that emotes be removed to free up the d-pad for usage in either striking or my stance idea inspired by the game undisputed. STANCE CONCEPT: Each of the d-pad directions correlates to a stance for a different purpose. Down on d-pad- A regular stance with regular stats and the default we are all used to. No reductions. Left on d-pad- A looser stance, providing a temporary increase to footwork, speed and head movement , with different movement animations (think how MVP moves in his fights) But at the cost of increased stamina usage for evading with a reduction in blocking and overall durability. Up on d-pad- A wrestling stance, providing an increase in takedown offence and defence and reducing the cost of takedown attempts (think gaethjes posture vs khabib) At the cost of a reduction in striking stats and striking defence. Right on d-pad- Unsure for this one, maybe a boxing stance with reduced kicking and takedown defence? or maybe a defensive stance for when a fighter is rocked with a major reduction in offensive stats? A pure striking stance? Open to feedback on all of these and Ideas for right. The game has become so arcade like these last few releases and the serious players are forgotten about. If you agree with this concept please interact so it is pushed for EA to see.UFC 5/6 Proposta per un’IA Coach Dinamica e una Modalità Carriera da Allenatore
Vorrei proporre l’integrazione di un sistema di intelligenza artificiale avanzato che simuli il ruolo del coach durante i match in UFC 5. L’idea è creare un’esperienza più immersiva e strategica, dove il combattente non riceve semplici comandi preimpostati, ma indicazioni contestuali basate su ciò che Caratteristiche principali: Coach IA in tempo reale: Analizza il match in corso e fornisce consigli tattici basati su posizione, stamina, stile dell’avversario, e comportamento del giocatore. Suggerimenti vocali o testuali che simulano un vero angolo. Combattente con mente propria: Ogni fighter ha abitudini, punti deboli, e una personalità che influisce su come recepisce e applica le indicazioni. Il coach deve lavorare per correggere difetti, costruire fiducia, e migliorare la disciplina. Modalità carriera da coach: Il giocatore interpreta un allenatore, gestendo la crescita di uno o più combattenti. Le decisioni influenzano la carriera, la forma mentale e fisica, e le relazioni con gli atleti. Possibilità di scouting, gestione degli allenamenti, e preparazione strategica pre-match. Progressione narrativa e immersiva: Ogni combattente evolve in modo unico. Le scelte del coach portano a rivalità, successi, fallimenti e momenti memorabili. Credo che la tecnologia attuale sia pienamente in grado di supportare un sistema del genere. Sarebbe un passo avanti verso un’esperienza sportiva più profonda, dove il giocatore non è solo un atleta, ma anche un mentore, stratega e guida. Spero che questa idea venga presa in considerazione. Potrebbe aprire nuove strade nel genere sportivo e offrire ai giocatori un livello di coinvolgimento mai visto prima. Samuele Santoro Paolo
Long hair McGregor should come back in UFC 4 !
Hello, in UFC 4, many players want the old Conor McGregor, but you're not paying any attention. Please bring back the long-haired McGregor. Bald McGregor doesn't quite deliver that vibe. After all, we paid for this game, but we lost Conor McGregor. Bring him back.
UFC 6 Career Mode
Dear EA, I want to share some suggestions that would make the UFC 6 career mode the best of the series. While I haven’t played much online in UFC 5, I have played about a dozen full career modes in UFC 5 and recently played a full one on UFC 3. In addition, I would say I am an above average watcher of the sport as well and have been to 2 UFC events (This will come in later I promise). Here are the following suggestions: Intros : Firstly, the fighter intros need to be better. Similar to UFC 3, there needs to be the full intros by Bruce Buffer. In addition, one should be able to clearly make out the difference between undercard/prelim fights, Co-main, and main event fights, just like how it is in real life. Just like UFC 3, Bruce should introduce the judges and referee (if there could be more referees added like UFC 3, that would be nice but this might not be possible).This is a little stretch, but if Bruce says “We are Live” for first fights of Prelims and of the main card which I will get into later. Finally with the intros, having all title fights have the flag of the fighters nation around the Octagon when Bruce says “it’s time” is a must. Walkouts : While I know it’s hard to license different walkout songs, I believe using the EA tracks are a good medium. However, just like UFC 3, walkouts should occur for every single fight, not just title fights. For non title fights, the arena should be lit up a slight bit with white lights being used and have the colored names appear on the Jumbotron and other displays in the arena (fighter pictures alongside these names would be nice), just like real life. For title fights, and main events of fight nights, the arena should go dark and have the respective color lights used for each fighter, just like how it is in UFC 5. One change I would make is allowing fighters to change the color of their walkouts for title fights, to add realism. For example, Sean O’Malley has his signature pink/purple walkout and Alex Pereira has his green. Also, if there could be graphics playing on the Octagon and on displays in arena, just like in real life. Arenas : No matter what stage of the career you are in UFC 5, the arena always seems filled. This is one of the most important suggestions. If you are on the prelims, the arena should be almost empty (about 25% full). If you are the featured Prelim, the arena should be about 50% full. If you are on the main card, about 75%. And if you are Co-Main/Main event, there should be no empty seats. These capacities should range in each fight just to spice things up (about +/- 10%). They are also impacted by Hype of fight but I will get more into that later. While I belive the selection of arenas is great in UFC 5, there needs to be Apex fight nights. This would only add realism to the game. Also, the octagon size should be smaller in apex, to add realism. Furthermore, if you are a hometown fighter in the arena, you should get an extra pop from the crowd. Fight Locations on Cards : In UFC 5, you can be the most exciting fighter on a six fight win streak, and still be on the prelims of a fight night. This needs to be changed. If you are an exciting fighter, i.e have a lot of finishes, you should be on main cards only, just like how Bo Nikal and Sean O’Malley were on Main cards on huge pay per views. If you have less finishes, you should be on prelims. If you are a ranked fighter, being the featured prelim makes sense. If you are a top 5 ranked fighter, you should only be on main cards. In addition, in UFC 5 it is apart of the story to main event a fight night. Seemingly, this takes place way too early in the career. Usually, this part happens when you are a 10-15 ranked fighter fighting another at the same rank. This would never happen. For these main events, they should have at least one fighter in top 5, or both in top 10. These should all be related to the hype of a fight as well. Custom Shorts : While you could use non-ufc shorts in UFC 5 in place of custom shorts, this shouldn’t need to happen. As custom shorts become more and more popular, they need to have a place in the game. This could be easily done by making an editor with just the tattoo selections in the game for graphics with more color choices. These shorts should only be used in career mode, in order to not mess with the other accessories in game. They should be given before the first title defense in order to add some difficulty to get them and add some realism. Pre/Post fight : With weight cutting being an important part in the UFC, this needs to be a part of the game. In addition to the fitness bar, there should be a number displaying current weight. If you miss weight, you should be fined by UFC and face consequences. Also having the title and non-title max weights be different would add to realism. Getting that last pound off for your first title fight should be a little challenging. But this shouldn’t be overdone to take away from the actual fighting. There should also be a weigh in show, where you can see all your hard work pay off. There should also be a pre fight press conference where you can talk to other fighters and boost your fight hype, similar to how the social media works in UFC 5. There should also be a post fight press conference in order to boost fans. All in all, most of these suggestions could be implimented using current technology from ufc 3 and 5. If all of these are added, UFC 6 will be the best in the series by far. Thanks for reading all of this, and feel free to leave your own suggestions.
