EA Sports UFC Demo: 10 Broken Things EA Must Fix Before Release
8. Glove Touching And Taunts
If you watch any UFC fight, they begin with a touch of the gloves from each competitor. Its a gesture of sportsmanshop and if fighters dont touch gloves theres always comment passed on it, detailing how the pair must hate each other. Unlike its predecessor, UFC Undisputed 3, this game skips out on the option to touch gloves it just shows it in the animation of the prefight ceremonies. While this may seem trivial, the lack of glove touching will be a disappointing no-show when it comes to online play. With glove touching, its a friendly way to say good game to your opponent after youve both fought in an enjoyable bout. Similarly, having the option to pass up on a touch of gloves to express your disdain would have been a nice feature to establish a compelling online rivalry. Even better would have been taunts to mock your opponents skill. In the past games these have included jumping up-and-down on the spot or dropping your hands low to show your contempt for your enemys striking.
