Context: The EA UFC 4 Beta was launched July 13th, 2020 and the reactions to it are pretty bad due to the lack of realism, the laziness concerning the ground game, the copy and paste of the first three EA UFC games animations & character models, and the lack of new additions in so many areas. Of course, a beta isn't the final version of the game, EA UFC 3 had a pretty bad beta too and the patches post-game release made the game fun for as long as it lasted. Problem is, it's been 8 years since EA got the UFC license (2012), first game was disastrous, second game was arcady yet fun, third one was the best game of the license due to the striking overhaul, the fourth one is UFC 3 with minor upgrades and major downgrades.

Enough is enough, realistic features like:
Interactive referees, doctor stoppages (Think Jorge Masvidal vs Nate Diaz), realistic cuts & swellings, cage grappling (Think Khabib Nurmagomedov vs Conor McGregor, Colby Covington vs Rafael dos Anjos), standing technical KOs (Think Max Holloway vs Anthony Pettis,Dustin Poirier vs Justin Gaethje, Dustin Poirier vs Eddie Alvarez 2 ending finishes), Ground N Pound technical KOs (Think Israel Adesanya vs Robert Whittaker, Henry Cejudo vs Marlon Moraes ending finishes), fighters uniqueness, different offline modes (Think Ultimate Fights Mode & Event Mode from the UFC Undisputed series, WWE Universe Mode, WWE Attitude Era Mode & WWE Showcase mode from the WWE games series), real gyms & coaches with meaningful corner advices, ragdoll knockouts, more in depth Create-A-Fighter (Think NBA2K/WWE2K Create-A-/// options), improved AI, realistic damage system etc...

All of these features are simple yet so immersive are not available in a sports game, a sport that has never been as popular as it is today, a sport that is witnessing the best and most elite talents that ever stepped the octagon in every division. Not having the ability to play a Mixed Martial Arts realistic game in these historical moments is sickening for each MMA fan, UFC fan & combat sports gamer.

At first I thought, I'm asking for a lot of things but then, I realized I wasn't, a few stats about other sports games (made by EA themselves) compared to EA's latest UFC game as of today (EA UFC 3):
In EA Madden NFL 20, the New England Patriots whole squad is of... 74 players. Yes, 74 characters in one and only one team. In comparison, the EA UFC 3 roster has approximately 230 fighters, if you add the "coaches", Buffer, the referees etc... Maybe we'll reach 280 characters in the game. Keep in mind that there are 34 teams in the NFL, and as you saw The Patriots has 74 players but let's say each team has 50 players, it means the whole teams roster is of 1700 characters. And people want us to not be pissed when the info that Calvin Kattar isn't in the game got released by his manager.
Another thing: A football match in FIFA games has 25 characters in the pitch at the same time, the amount of labour to make that work compared to UFC games where there are only 3 characters in the screen, two of them being playable (+ the ref) is ridiculous, this only proves the laziness of EA UFC team devs.
I don't want to talk about the NBA2K franchise, it's not perfect of course but it would be disrespectful for them if I try to compare it to EA UFC 3. Literally embarrassing.

Who are Yuke's?: Yuke’s Future Media Creators is a video games company known for their WWE games since 2000 until 2018 and for having history with our beloved sport, developing the UFC Undisputed Series (2009; 2010; 3) between 2008 & 2012.

Why Yuke's?: Because they made the UFC Undisputed series and it's to this day the most detailed Mixed Martial Arts game and what's crazy is the fact that they made that series a decade ago, can you imagine the amount of details and how good the presentation will be if they made a UFC game today? Everything I wrote earlier in this post was already in UFC Undisputed 3, something EA Sports couldn't do after 8 years of development and four games released since then. The ground game made by Yuke's devs was just the most awesome thing in a MMA game, you want to keep punching your opponent after you knocked him out, waiting for the ref to pull you off like Jorge Masvidal did against Ben Askren? You can. You want doctor stoppages? You can, each fight was different, now imagine all of this with today's technology, with the ALiS Zero tech made by Yuke's themselves (look about it on Google, amazing tech), imagine it with Unreal Engine 5, imagine each fighter having his mostly his own strikes animations like they did on WWE games, imagine having a full roster with unranked prospects to fight with in Career Mode, game would be immersive, realistic and complete. Yuke's are the real deal since the first WWE Smackdown game, should be a no brainer to choose them as devs for the next UFC game.

We need the UFC gaming community to stand together and make a change, it only takes one second to sign this, please do it if you want a realistic & better MMA game full of features. Once the goal will be reached, this will be sent to Yuke's devs, the UFC team, Mick Maynard, Dana White, Sean Shelby and other important UFC figures.
