Two of my biggest problems with the previous entries in this series have been solved in UFC 4. The ground game has been simplified to make it much easier to wrestle in a satisfying and effective way in the heat of the moment, albeit with less detailed control over specific positions. The strikes in other games felt too weak to me too. Many times you would have to punch the other fighter 30 or 40 times in the chin to knock them out. Here strikes land with the convincing weight of a real hit and sometimes all it takes is one accurately placed powerful punch to send someone to the canvas. To me these two changes make this an excellent sports title and one step closer to that perfect combat sport simulation I'm dreaming of.
