EA Sports UFC 3 – Fight Modes Guide
FIGHT NOW
Select FIGHT NOW to put your mixed martial arts skills to the test in a UFC match. Soak in the electric atmosphere as you watch each fighter enter the stadium to the sounds of cheering crowds. Once you’re inside the Octagon, think like a champion as you try to take down your opponent!
To get started, choose your weight division and scroll through available UFC fighters for each corner. When you’re satisfied with your match-up, advance to the next screen to set your fight’s difficulty level, the number of rounds, venue, and more. Select ADVANCE TO FIGHT to enter the Octagon and battle it out.
KNOCKOUT MODE
In Knockout Mode, submission specialists need not apply: this is a stand-up brawl. Only power shots will deal damage, so use jabs and leg kicks to set up combinations and interrupt your opponent. Once either fighter’s health bar is depleted, it’s lights out.
CUSTOM FIGHT NOW
Similar to fight Now, Custom Fight Now allows you to make additional changes to your event, such as disabling Perks, limiting stamina regeneration, and tweaking damage values. In addition, you can equalize stats between the two chosen fighters.
STAND AND BANG
As the name implies, this ruleset tests your standup game: pick apart your opponent with well-timed punches and kicks to win.
SUBMISSION SHOWDOWN
Striking is not allowed in this mode, so submission, grappling, and takedown skills reign supreme. Take your opponent to the mat and get to work.
