"EA SPORTS UFC 3 is the most realistic mixed martial arts game
ever made," UFC President Dana White said. "The new G.O.A.T. Career Mode
gives you the opportunity to go from contender to champion by promoting
your brand and performing inside the Octagon. This game has it all."
"We've completely reinvented our striking game with Real Player Motion
Tech, and we think fans are really going to love it," said EA SPORTS
UFC 3 Creative Director, Brian Hayes. "We've also incorporated a lot
of fan feedback in the new G.O.A.T. Career mode, and throughout the
whole game. It's great to be back after two years working on this
amazing game."
Real
Player Motion (RPM) Tech is a revolutionary new EA SPORTS
animation technology that sets a new bar for motion and responsiveness
in the best-looking - and now the best-feeling - EA SPORTS UFC
game ever. With over 5,000 new animations captured and rebuilt from the
ground up, players can now move, strike, and create seamless
combinations in-game with the world's best mixed martial arts athletes.
EA SPORTS UFC 3 also introduces the new G.O.A.T.
Career Mode where - for the first time - the choices made
throughout your career impact your path to greatness. Outside of fights,
players will make promotional choices to build hype, gain fans, earn
more cash through big contracts and capture the world's attention.
Building on the fan-favorite Knockout Mode introduced in EA SPORTS
UFC 2, EA SPORTS UFC 3 delivers a new suite of multiplayer
modes designed for fast, fun fights that are perfect for letting fists
fly when playing against friends, now with commentary
from the one and only Snoop Dogg. Those looking for a quick social
experience can jump into Stand & Bang mode, Submission Showdown mode,
and the all-new Tournament mode, which offers ultimate bragging rights
as players attempt to take on as many opponents as possible in
bracket-style elimination rounds with continuous damage and fatigue.
