The only way to have any choice in which fighters or moves you add to your collection is through the Item Scouting Shop, which has an inventory that refreshes every day. Online play has been mostly fine in my experience, aside from the previously mentioned issue of having absolutely no feedback about why your transition blocks aren’t going through. Taking the fight online brings you to the usual suite of options, including a Quick Fight for casual play and the Ranked Championships mode returning from UFC 2 for the more hardcore crowd. I don’t want to blow through the opposition unchallenged, but I also don’t like getting my teeth kicked in without what at least feels like a fair chance to defend myself. Stand-up fighters feel like they have impenetrable defense, and ground-based fighters make it feel impossible to get back up. It’s not just the raw numbers, either: the AI just turns its skill up seemingly at random, leading to a feeling where you’re only winning when it lets you. I went pretty much undefeated until I broke into the top 10 with my character, and from there almost every fighter I faced just dwarfed me in terms of stats. “The problem – and it’s a heartbreaking one that almost ruins an otherwise excellent evolution of career mode – is that the difficulty spike once you start getting into title contention is just straight-up unfair. You can now freely sway with the right stick to dodge and duck under punches and throw any punch or kick while moving – a combination that leads to a dynamic striking system that feels much closer to how actual fights in the UFC play out. In UFC 3 there are no parries, but that doesn’t mean there are no counters. Previous games adopted a Fight Night-style approach of using parries and counters, which always felt a bit out of place in an MMA fight. UFC 3’s biggest change to its usually exciting fights is the complete reworking of its striking system. However, the sleazy, microtransaction-infested Ultimate Team mode casts a dark shadow over it. Its best moments, it’s a combat sports game that truly captures the excitement and depth of an MMA fight. While it still has some substantial holes to fill in, UFC 3 is certainly the best game yet in the series, thanks to its fantastic overhaul of the striking system and the much improved, goal-oriented career mode.
