Career Mode Longevity Is Too Punishing Despite Taking Very Little Damage
Hello EA Sports,
I really enjoy UFC 5 Career Mode, but I think the longevity system needs to be improved.
In my current career, I started at 18 years old. My fighter is now only 29 years old with a 34-0 record.
In my latest title fight against Ciryl Gane, I completely dominated the fight:
3 knockdowns
Opponent was badly cut and rocked multiple times
I took very little damage and was barely hit
I finished the fight in Round 1
Despite that, I still lost 3.7% longevity after the fight.
It feels like longevity is reduced too much simply because another fight was completed, instead of being based mainly on the actual damage taken.
In my opinion, if a fighter wins a dominant fight while taking almost no damage, the longevity loss should be extremely small (for example around 0.1–0.5%), not several percent.
This makes long careers and collecting championship belts very difficult, even when fighting intelligently and avoiding damage.
I have screenshots showing the fight statistics, my opponent's damage, and the longevity loss after the fight.
Please consider adjusting the Career Mode longevity system in a future update.
Thank you.
