I am writing to express my disappointment with the current state of EA Sports UFC 6 and what appears to be an ongoing lack of attention to gameplay authenticity and community feedback.

One of the most frustrating issues is the continued inaccuracy of fighter stances. For example, Magomed Ankalaev is primarily a southpaw who regularly switches stances, yet his in-game representation does not accurately reflect his real-life fighting. The lack of attention given to Magomed Ankalaev despite his status as one of the UFC's top light heavyweights. He is notably absent from the featured fighter selection screen, even though he has established himself as one of the division's top fighters. In addition, his in-game move set is incomplete, as he is missing his lead body side kick,a technique he has used effectively throughout his professional career. Details like these may seem minorindividually, but collectively they diminish the authenticity of the game. When elite fighters are missing signature techniques and appropriate recognition within the game's featured content, it gives the impression that roster accuracy and realism are not being prioritized.

This is not an isolated issue many other fighters also have incorrect stances, outdated animations, or incomplete move sets that fail to represent their actual techniques and tendencies.  
Beyond stances, numerous fighters are still missing signature strikes, grappling techniques, and other defining aspects of their arsenals. A game that markets itself as an authentic MMA simulation should prioritize accurately representing the athletes on its roster.

Another major concern is the pace of gameplay updates. Balance changes, roster corrections, and move set updates appear to arrive ona monthly schedule when they should be addressed much more frequently. Weekly updates would allow the game to stay aligned with the ever-changing UFC landscape, respond to community feedback more effectively, and correct errors before they persist for extended periods.

Equally concerning is the lack of communication regarding gameplay fixes and future improvements. The community has repeatedly raised legitimate concerns, yet there is little transparency about what issues are being investigated, what feedback has been acknowledged, or when players can reasonably expect fixes. This has created the perception that community concerns are not being treated as a priority.

I am particularly disappointed with thelevel of communication from Community Lead **Dmitryi Khlynin**. From a player’s perspective, communication regarding gameplay issues, roster authenticity, and planned fixes has been insufficient. The community deserves more consistent updates, greater transparency, and meaningful engagement regarding the game's ongoing development.  
As a longtime supporter of the EA Sports UFC franchise, I want to see this series succeed. However, that requires a stronger commitment to authenticity, more responsive update schedules, and open communication with the player base.  
Ever since the switch from the DragonBall community, ETC, it’s brought nothing but LACKADAISICAL energy to EA UFC Games. Do Better.
