Re: Offline Career Longevity

Hey everyone,

We've just released the patch notes for this month's update, which arrives tomorrow! 

This does include changes to longevity based on the feedback that's been provided, so please give that a try tomorrow and let us know how that feels after the update.

  • Career Mode Longevity Attribute decay will now be affected by the chosen Fighter Style and the overall impact has been reduced.

Thank you for the continued feedback and check out the full patch notes here!

    Your game on PlayStation is rated 3 stars, significantly lower than the previous UFC installment. To say “This does not include changes to longevity, based on the feedback that's been provided” and then requesting people giving the suggestions, to try out the game- I mean, It is not looking good going forward.

    If suggestions continue to be ignored, like 2K when they released WWE 2K20, there will be a fall off and a loss of profit due to lack of content, replay-ability, & bugs .They had to completely do a re-work but at the least they respect and listen to their players to a degree to TAKE SUGGESTIONS INTO CONSIDERATION. 

    A longevity enable/disable option is something I’ve requested since UFC 2. Respectfully and with well thought out consideration, all can agree that would bring not only profit, but more profit as it adds to more replay-ability for offline players. That is good for ratings.

    Personally me, due to the let down of the longevity not being an enable/disable option & lack of content provided for single-player based players, I don’t really play the game much anymore & tend to delete it instantly, each time I reinstall it on my system. This is because nothing is different compared to the last. This can be argued with, but that won’t change your ratings. Going based off ratings for UFC 5 & 4 on PlayStation alone, I don’t think people would disagree. 

    Just a suggestion, take a suggestion. The longevity disabled option would go well with the game overall and make it enjoyable. However, I expect nothing less but a patch note you the DEVs see fitting, which seems to be the underlying cause for complaint. If it’s nothing we the consumer ask for, nothing is ultimately fixed. Do as you wish, it’s not my Intellectual Property.

    @JaydizzleActual1 correction “ This DOES include changes to longevity based on the feedback that's been provided” . I misread but at the same time I’m not wrong because what changes were actually made based on feedback if the general discussion, was based off trying to come up with a feature to disable longevity as an option.

    It’s almost like you guys are saying “we hear you, but we’re just not going to listen to you.”

    @JaydizzleActual1 Mike Tyson is boxing at the age of 60 and with his attitude probably will fight until he’s dead & you’re telling me I can’t manage my life on a game because the game decided for me like I need help ? Fight night round 3, created by EA, even had the option to retire when I want to. That was PS2. All I’m asking is for a disable longevity button so I can look 20 at the age of 90 and still compete because I paid 100$ like a dummy to do what I want in a game offline.
