Criticism of UFC Career Mode (EA Sports UFC)

The career mode feels repetitive and lacks variety. Every new character you create goes through almost the exact same story with little to no variation.

There is no real consequence system. For example, if you win a fight respectfully, some fighters still become rivals or enemies without reason, which breaks immersion.

Rivals or allies don't behave consistently with how the relationship is developed. Even if you build a positive connection, they randomly turn hostile after a fight.

You can’t hold multiple titles across different weight classes, which limits long-term goals.

There are no branching storylines or decision-based outcomes. Your choices don’t impact rivalries, friendships, or how your path unfolds.

Interactions outside the octagon (like press conferences or training dynamics) are shallow and repetitive.

The game lacks depth compared to other franchises like WWE games, which offer dynamic storytelling, multiple paths, and control over character relationships.

The system feels like it's in a beta phase, missing the polish and narrative complexity players expect.

It's demotivating to create new characters when you know the experience will be identical each time.

I hope in the next ufc game you handle it better, its sucks, when i have a perfekt match without dmg, and get minus 2% in the Carrier mode, how long i cam fight.

    This game is an exact copy of UFC 4 Career mode. Such a disappointment. There is so many features that could be implemented to make it much more of a real resemblance to real life fighters! First off, weight cutting for big fights! There should be an option for walk around weight and fighting class! Along with so many other things like press conferences, post fight interviews, watching ufc cards as an audience member like real ufc events, fighter call outs, and decision based options that actually affect your fighters outcome in career!!! Please fix for next ufc game!
