EA UFC 3

Axwell

I was suggesting a slightly different format..

Play everyone in your group twice so at least we all get a few fights that way. (home fighter picks weight class etc). So first time I fight someone I pick, then the other time they pick. But we would draw up fixtures for want of a word to determine it.
Assign 3 points for a win,1 for a draw (unlikely in this game) and 0 for a loss.
Top 2 of each group then go through and play each others in a semi-finals (just one fight here).
That leaves two for the final.

If there's a tie for top 2 out of the groups they can have a Dana v Dana fight to settle it.

Whatever people prefer, just like to get a few fights against other people rather than a one and done against someone who beats me.

I have no objections to champs anyways, dont think they are OP as last time and both people can easily just pick the same fighter if they wish anyways.

Cool sounds good man. I'll set up a new ps message group later where we can schedule fights and post results, see how we get on.

Axwell

I will lash them into the yoke we use for the fifa leagues, it will draw up the fixtures for the fights just so its easier to see a list and then people can post results of the fight as they have them and I can assign points to keep track.

Perfect thanks man.

Its setup there. Group 1 and Group 2 - you can ignore the dates and times, just need to have that data there just because..also people needed a surname, so our surnames are boards

Anyways if you play out the fights listed there
Home Fighter v Away Fighter - home fighter picks the weight division
Then if you can post the results here I guess and I will update the tables when I get a chance.

If you can post in the format
User name (fighter name) vs User Name (fighter name)
Weight Division: (Division)
Winner: (User name or draw if its magically a draw)

One thing I’d suggest is using a different fighter than Dana as the decider. He’s a boxing specialist and not at all balanced, it gives an edge to those who use boxers frequently. A more balanced fighter would be fairer to make it a level playing field IMO. Punk was grand last year because he was crap at everything, but even guys like Rampage, Magny and Gastelum have balanced stats. Just a thought anyway.

Zero-Cool

Yeah I'm good with Punk, no flukey wins with him :pac:

New Bizarro items in Ultimate team, complete challenges, collect sets for cards like a sub specialist McGregor, Ronda with 'world class head movement', etc.

This still going ahead? Still have two fights left but no sign of the fourth guy in our group.

Axwell

His gamertag was wrong on here. Sent him a pm on boards but then was some issue with it when he did get back so seems he wont be playing. Dunno if all the fights in the other group were played either?

Zero-Cool

I still have to fight Richie, will message him later.

dulux99

Are any of you lads on xbox one? I don't have this but might pick it up

Hefty patch released. Geoff said it's the biggest change to the meta yet, absolute ton of gameplay changes. Check his Twitter for details Geoff Harrower.

New fighters as well.

I've 1 more to play

SureYWouldntYa

Games an awful lot slower after the patch, feels like everyone is stuck in the mud

Any sort of evasive movements are really taxing on stamina as well, a lot harder to get away from button mashers

Zero-Cool

Lads I'd say kick off the semis, whoever is the top 2 in each group. Axwel sound good?

Also, season 2 has begun today, leaderboards reset in ranked and UT. They said they are giving people a it reward peck but I didn't see it. If you made GOAT in career, there is a goat pack waiting for ye, 4 silver balanced cafs and 10k coins. Silver fighters are redundant at this stage but at least I can make a custom roster now.

Zero-Cool

Bruce Buffer was added

martyos121

That’s brilliant!

Great to see footwork as his best striking stat, they know the craic...

martyos121

Found out on reddit how to unlock him, it’s definitely not something you’ll do by accident so I’ll post it up here:

Go into Tournament Mode Name it Bruce Buffer Strict Weight Class Middleweight Autofill Fighters Press start Bruce Buffer will replace a Fighter Win the tournament as Bruce Buffer

Summer camp ultimate team is live, devs basically trying to fix their created fighter complaints. Solo challenges to unlock specific styles/moves for your created fighter and subverting about votes for the next 4 weeks.

Been dead in here and looks like the league/tourney fell apart but wait.... There is an iconic announcement tomorrow. Along with a patch that is changing a lot of mechanics like adding rematch ability to quick fights online (about damn time), stand and bang and ko mode can be done online and you can dive straight into knocked down opponents now. Lots more.

Hoping the announcement will be a revamp of ultimate team...

Surely it’s the Artem Lobov Super DLC Special Pack, with 110% more Artem?

Probably just another useless limited edition UT pack that costs 100k coins.

Zero-Cool

Patch is live, loads of moves added like the ankle pick. Legend fighters added as well, all very powerful.
Kimbo Slice
Crocop
Tito Ortiz
Wandy
Matt Serra

Zero-Cool

New update is called Icon Edition you can buy (free update for current owners). Mighty Mouse is now on the cover, they were never happy with Conor on it anyway. The legends are class, check out this crazy glitch :pac:

Zero-Cool

I read that Ultimate Team has a new Icons campaign so have it a go. There was a free basic UT pack and free icons pack. An icon pack had a puzzle piece, complete the puzzle and unlock an icon fighter or move.

In the solo challenges, the icon campaign has you fight the icons with different challenges. The absolute best part is the challenges are now tracked in game., Counts the second you have to hold a position and if that objective is complete. Counts strikes as well. This alone had me interested in it.

Only did a few fights, my UT team currently sucks cuz I never spent good time with UT this year but this has me interested again. Some brilliant additions to mechanics, seeing some class moves and transitions, more animations has given out a fresh look as well.

Zero-Cool

Nope UT is still shyte. Finished icons challenges, really easy and enough pieces to unlock 2 icons. Got Tate and Hughes, both grapplers, ugh. Will never use them. Then I saw you can level up icons making better versions of them by trading multiple same fighters. So, collect pieces, unlock a random fighter, try collect multiples of that fighter, i think about 10+ to upgrade them fully. But from what I can see, I can only get more pieces from icon packs which you have to buy.

****....right.....off

callaway92

Many of you lads playing this?

I played a heap of UFC 2 and I’m only getting into this now.

Only played friendly matches online so far and I’m getting murdered.. getting used to the button changes is the toughest thing for me.. getting killed on the ground too.

Only played the solo things in Ultimate Team so far

Axwell

Still playing it but mostly just online ranked, gave up playing UT after a few weeks of it being out. Not a fan of real fighters being in it and the way they have done it this time.

Whats your gamertag, probably have you on there already but will add you if not for a few scraps.
