How does the roster size compare to previous versions of the game? ThereвЂ™s lot of animations made for certain fighters, fighter types and styles. We have a classic straight, a very Nate Diaz-looking 1-2 combination, a very Conor McGregor-looking one. We donвЂ™t just have a jab and a straight punch. WeвЂ™ve added new transitions, new submissions, movements on the ground, cage transitions on the grappling side and just a lot more striking variety. What type of new moves and/or animations are in the game that werenвЂ™t seen in previous versions?Д«ecause we completely revamped the striking based on the technology from RPM, thereвЂ™s probably 3,000-4,000 new striking animations, and then thereвЂ™s an additional probably 800,000 or so in the entire game, from ground game to celebrations.

Not many people know that, but once they do, it will be part of their strategy moving forward. You can win a fight going for legs kicks, get a TKO, but can also lose a fight going for leg kicks by having them checked and causing damage. Leg damage doesnвЂ™t regenerate during a round. Leg damage was one thing during the beta that a lot of people were thrown off by. How does leg damage work in the game, and how does a game plan oriented around attacking the leg influence a fight?

You also mentioned bringing knowledge about leg kick damage to the forefront. They wanted to make sure that if youвЂ™re working a guyвЂ™s body, or someone is really aggressive during a fight, that it has a long-term impact on the later rounds that you can take advantage of. The long-term stamina (in a fight) was something that came up more among the hardcore users. What were the issues, and how have they been adjusted? You can change a lot with games these days even after theyвЂ™re out, but obviously thatвЂ™s not what you want to do.ДЇighter stamina was something that was addressed a lot based on public feedback to the beta version of the game. From a tuning standpoint, we could tune this thing 180 (degrees) from a simulation experience to something completely cartoonish, but as far as the beta, we can change a lot. Things that are difficult to change are the fundamental control scheme or adding wholesale new animations, but massaging and tuning the experience to work a certain way. With the amount of things you can change, even live with the server, things can change drastically. ThereвЂ™s animation tuning and gameplay tuning going on throughout. We try to avoid there being one simple factor thatвЂ™s a recipe for frustration and success. We donвЂ™t get the same level of strategic variety. If we make kicks faster than they are, it makes it very easy to create a gameplay imbalance.

We donвЂ™t want to make things exploitable. Were you able to make adjustments to the game based on feedback from the beta test? Will you continue to tweak the product based on post-release response? ThereвЂ™s no pleasing everybody, but we did feel the way gameplay feels with responsiveness to the locomotion and combinations, and redefining how the health, damage and stamina works, itвЂ™s just been unanimously, for everyone thatвЂ™s had their hands on the game for more than a day, they think, вЂњThis is the (expletive).вЂќ WeвЂ™re confident that was the right call to make. ThereвЂ™s some people who love the ground game and didnвЂ™t want to change a thing.

You have some people that loved the striking in вЂњUFC 2вЂќ and didnвЂ™t want to see it changed. You donвЂ™t really see this level of change from one version to the next, because itвЂ™s pretty huge. One of the reasons we took the approach we did is we had a technology opportunity with Real Player Motion (RPM) Tech to really do something that signified a foundational change. Why did you decide to completely revamp the striking aspect from вЂњEA UFC 2,вЂќ from the visual aspects of movement/offense/defense to altering the controller scheme? Here are the highlights of MMAjunkieвЂ™s Q&A about вЂњEA UFC 3.вЂќ The most notable takeaway off the bat was the amount of tweaking thatвЂ™s been done based off beta feedback alone, and Hayes said thatвЂ™s a key aspect of polishing the game to a point at which itвЂ™s as close to perfect as possible. With less than six weeks until the official release date, MMAjunkie recently visited the EA Sports campus in Vancouver to sit down with Creative Director Brian Hayes and get some hands-on time with the game. Some players even got the chance to get their hands on the game earlier this month when EA Sports released a beta version for a few days that allowed some early feedback on the product. Many details about the game, which soon will be available for Xbox One and Sony Playstation 4, already are available. 2, and already thereвЂ™s much curiosity about how the game will differ from previous versions. The third installment of the вЂњEA UFCвЂќ video game franchise will drop Feb.
