The fourth quarter of 2017 is a huge time for the UFC. There are eight events taking place between November 11 and the end of the year, and the ramp up for the release of EA Sports UFC 3 will be intense during that time.
The game officially releases on February 2, but it will be available to fans who pre-order the Champions Edition on January 29. That's just around the corner so information will be steady as the event draws closer.
The latest piece of info to be released is the new Real-Player Motion trailer. It shows off some of the devastating combinations in this year's game, highlights the movement that is designed to be more realistic and fluid, and it even shows us a few new signature moves.
Notice Fabricio Werdum's running jumping straight kick at the beginning of the round and Dominick Cruz's signature head and foot movement. EA has worked quickly to incorporate some of the most recent events from the Octagon into its latest trailers.
Notice the focus on newly crowned champions like Rose Namajunas and TJ Dillashaw.
The new game will deliver more than 5,000 new animations with a counter system that appears to reward players for making opponents miss and landing hard shots quickly after evading the attacks. With the recent release of the Xbox One X and confirmation that EA UFC 3 will be enhanced for the new console, fans can only hope to see a noticeable upgrade in the game once it is released.
