My top request for EA UFC 5
An oversight the recent EA UFC games have suffered from is the career mode fighter becoming unplayable and essentially non existent after finishing the career. This led to me to not finishing the vast majority of my careers since playing them to the end had no benefit whatsoever.
A way to give the career mode high replayability and to give players the incentive to see their career to the end would be to have the fighter transferred to the single player modes with their career W/L record intact so it feels like you’re actually playing as your Legend/GOAT career fighter and can have dream matches against fighters we didn’t have a chance to face during the career and other fighters in different weight classes.
Please implement this ability. UFC games from the past did this and I loved finishing a career and having the fighter added to the other modes rosters. Just making a CAF for single player modes feels hollow, a career fighter seems like they have an actual story and fighting history.
SIDE NOTE: Can something be done about the existing rosters aging out by the time we reach the top ranks in career mode? This has been an issue since the Fight Night days. All the top fighters are in their 40s/50s by the time we get to fight them and half are retired long before we get there meaning the majority of our title defense are against auto generated CAF’s.
