UFC 4 trailer: EA Sports highlights accessible, improved combat

EA Sports promises to improve upon three games worth of formula in UFC 4.

The sports-focused video game division of Electronic Arts released an in-depth gameplay trailer for UFC 4 on Tuesday. In the teaser, a narrator highlighted gameplay improvements while showing off footage from the impending release. The footage was generally broken down into four categories: striking, clinches, ground grappling, and takedowns.

Striking has often been the strongest element of the EA UFC video games. In UFC 4, programmers intended to simply the experience by allowing users to tap face buttons for quick strikes and hold face buttons for more creative techniques like front kicks or flying knees.
