Here’s our full EA Sports UFC review.

Electronic Arts has released details of the career and online modes in its upcoming EA Sports UFC. Starting with in-depth creation tools that let you customize your fighter’s size, appearance and style (and even give them your own face), career mode will take you from amateur nobody to the top of the professional league, leveling up along the way with new skills. In addition to recognizable stars, the league will also be populated with over 200 “CPU generated fighters” that will also be fighting each other and leveling up, adding an extra degree of dynamic continuity to your career.

On top of career mode, EA Sports UFC also features a host of new online modes. Online Championships let you prove your mettle against the world’s best for coveted belts. Those looking for something a little more personal can form one-on-one Online Rivalries, which tracks head-to-head stats and provides in-depth analysis to settle any doubts between friends about who’s the best. All of this will be filtered through FighterNet, a social hub that tracks and compares stats, share highlights, and provides access to new content as it’s rolled out.

EA Sports UFC is set for release on June 17 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, and it is now available for pre-order, which unlocks day one access to Bruce Lee.

EA is taking its football/soccer series into a new era. But this new age isn't being brought in simply by innovation, but due to a name dispute over the FIFA title between EA and the Fédération Internationale de Football Association. EA announced that it will be changing the series' name to EA Sports FC going forward.

The best EA games of all time

EA is one of the biggest publishers in the Western gaming market. They employ thousands of developers across dozens of studios to create games of nearly all sizes, types, and genres. Being around since nearly the beginning of the gaming medium itself, their catalog of games is one of the largest in the industry, and it only continues to grow as their teams produce more and more titles. However, they have earned a somewhat poor reputation in recent years among gamers for how they have treated some of their studios and franchises.

As much hate as the company gets, there's no denying the fact that some of gaming's greatest games and franchises come from EA. In recent years they've even managed to start repairing their image in many gamer's eyes thanks to pulling back on predatory business practices, supporting and improving games that were not well received at launch, and even giving us some traditional single-player experiences. EA might have a few series they're most known for, but they make games for just about every market. Here's what we consider to be the best EA games of all time.
