Hopefully, we'll get a more cohesive commentary package with increased conversational value, too - but for now, all we can do is speculate. Play-by-play announcer Mike Goldberg is no longer with the company, so he'll likely be replaced by Jon Anik, Josh Matthews or someone else. That should continue, but fans should expect a new audio experience. In fact, the game still features the best player models. The visual presentation of EA UFC 2 was stellar. Ultimate Team in EA UFC 2 wasn't very good - a large percentage of the appeal of collector modes is acquiring famous athletes through pack openings and an auction block, but EA UFC 2 substituted fighter acquisition with the collection of moves and attributes. Remember what I said about casual fans? No mode is more appealing to that group than this one.ĮA UFC 3 will also likely improve Ultimate Team.

Guys and girls take a lot more shots in the game than a real human being could absorb in a real fight, and that hasn't sat well with the hardcore fans of the sport.ĭon't expect EA to design a game directed entirely at hardcore MMA fans, though. One of the gripes against the last two versions of the game has been its less-than-realistic gameplay in comparison to real-life octagon action. One addition might be a hardcore sim mode. This is based purely on speculation, but there are a few logical additions to make to the next EA UFC game. That's still a way off, but it should give fans something to look forward to for a little over a year.

EA Sports UFC 3: Release date predictionĮA Sports UFC 2 released on March 15, 2016, but the game received content updates as late as September 2016.

Wilson made the announcement during an earning's call that also revealed information on NBA Live 18 and other forthcoming sports games in the company's lineup. It's set to release during the publisher's 2018 fiscal year - between April 2017 and March 2018 - per Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson. A new EA Sports UFC game, EA Sports UFC 3, is on the way.
