EA Sports UFC 3 is the best MMA simulator we have seen. It is not perfect, but its elaborate combat system transmits all the tension of UFC and its technical section makes it look like we were watching fights on TV.

UFC 3 is here with a point to prove. That point being that it is the most accurate representation of the MMA franchise to date, even with its grapple and clinch mechanic issues.
EA Sports UFC 3 is the greatest MMA fighting game of this generation, an awesome simulator that brings action in a way we've never seen before.

The best entry in the UFC series, which provides hours of fun thanks to Career, party Knockout and Online modes – that is, if you can ignore infected by lootboxes Ultimate Team.

EA UFC 3 is a good representation of the sport franchise, offering a well put together fighting game that represents the different styles and weight classes found in MMA. The action in the octagon mimics reality very well, with a decent career mode helping people to learn the ropes. On the online front, there's a divide between Ultimate Team and standard online divisions with the latter winning out in both accessibility and fairness. If you're a UFC fan in general, then this is a good game to pick up.
It definitely looks the part, and the striking is excellent, but stodgy controls and a weak ground game makes this far from the ultimate MMA game.
EA SPORTS UFC 3 doesn’t provide a massive change over last year’s entry other than the few extra game modes and the striking system, but the changes that have been introduced are certainly for the better.
UFC 3's overhauled striking is wince-inducingly brilliant, but its cumbersome grappling continues to lag behind.
UFC 3 has made many improvements to the previous version, both in appearance and performance, from models of wrestlers with the distinctive design and the festive atmosphere before each game and the large number of modes to play available either to play single player or multiplayer, but the game is not making any radical changes in some Gameplay elements such as ground clashes and explicit reliance on the procurement system in the Ultimate team mode.

Players looking for a purely single-player experience will be disappointed as the G.O.A.T Career Mode is lacking in several areas. While it may be difficult to become a champion in the Octagon, the fighting in UFC 3 feels satisfying once you get used to all the mechanics. Be prepared to study outside of the game as the tutorials simply do not cut it. UFC 3 is the best game in the series so far, however the developers still have a long way to go before it reaches the heights of the other EA Sports titles.
I was engaged for several days, spending plenty of time playing the game, but the reasons that most people continue to play an EA Sports title until the next iteration comes along just isn't as strong in EA Sports UFC 3.
UFC 3 is presented with a visual section of realistic impact, a large number of game modes and all the spectacle that accompanies the competition. However, the low level of novelty compared to its predecessor, its high level of playability and a somewhat repetitive progression system can frustrate the desire to continue playing.

UFC 3 is a title with more strengths than weaknesses. Its basic commands are responsive and allow the player to unleash their creativity in order to knock out their opponent. Although mastering the demolitions is not easy, if you manage to overcome the frustration and control your impulses, at the end of the day you can subdue any opponent.

UFC 3 will offer a decent fun challenge for you to overcome and spend hours in different modes from online to offline modes, but unfortunately the way that they implemented microtransactions ruined the fun I was supposed to have in Ultimate Team Mode, there was a big room for improvement, but they didn't take their time to do so.

UFC 3 is amazing to watch and fun to play, but there are still a few problems that hold it back from perfection.
Even with simplified grappling and submission controls carried over from the last edition, EA Sports UFC 3 is probably the least pick-up-and-play game in the sports genre. It takes real dedication, and understanding of one's fighter, to draw out the game's virtues. But they can be found in the anticlimax of a career bout that ends in a fraction of the time spent training for it. For those who can take a staggering punch and remain focused on their game plan, EA Sports UFC 3 is as close as it comes to professional fighting, without the bruises and welts.
EA Sports has delivered the most complete UFC game ever. This fighting simulator features an amazingly realistic combat gameplay and one of its few flaws is that the Career Mode is a little bit repetitive. Essential for those who love fighting games or enjoy the sport.

EA UFC 3 is closer to nailing this whole UFC video game thing than the comparatively thin EA UFC 2, but while this one has plenty of meat on its bones, it lacks connective tissue.
Probably the best MMA game ever done, but it includes a few failures on almost every corner of the game that make this games less excellent and more so-so.
