UFC 4 (formally known as “EA Sports UFC 4” even though no one calls it that) (PS4 version)

I’ve previously had a good time with the first two big-budget UFC titles, which were imperfect games but also did a good job at capturing the unpredictable nature of fights. “UFC 4”, on the other hand, has plenty of interesting systems working for it, but whatever unpredictable nature was in these games has been wrung out of it. I once knocked out Rashad Evans in less than three seconds and laughed about it for ten minutes, and while spending minutes finding weaknesses in Amanda Nunes was arguably more intelligent, it was so much less satisfying. The numerous glitches don’t help.
