UFC 6 UNIVERSE MODE
UFC 5 Universe Mode Proposal
I'd like to propose to EA Sports and the UFC 5 developers the creation of a UNIVERSE MODE, inspired partly by similar modes in other sports games but tailored specifically to the dynamics of the UFC.
How would this mode work?
Player Role: You'd become the UFC matchmaker, responsible for creating PPV and Fight Night event cards. Dana White would act as your boss, setting specific objectives, giving feedback, reprimanding poor performance, or even firing you for consistently mediocre results.
Main Objective: Maximize fanbase growth, revenue, and global popularity of the UFC by organizing exciting and strategic fights.
Duration: An endless mode that lets you play season after season.
Main Features:
Fighter Management: Each fighter would have unique stats: health, popularity, morale, growth potential.
Negotiations and Contracts: Players would negotiate fighter contracts, managing demands, renewals, and potential conflicts.
Dynamic Interactions: Fighters could get injured, retire, change weight classes, or even message you requesting specific fights. Your responses directly affect their morale and popularity.
Automatic Rankings: The game automatically updates rankings for each weight class after every event, providing interesting matchmaking opportunities.
Simulation or Gameplay: Choose between playing fights yourself or simulating them, offering flexibility to your preferred playstyle.
Additional Ideas:
Interactive Social Media: Simulated social media interactions where fighters, media, and fans react to your decisions, directly impacting your business.
Sponsors and Broadcasting Deals: Negotiate sponsorship and broadcasting contracts to boost your revenue.
Scouting and New Talent Recruitment:
Dynamic Generation of New Fighters: The game automatically generates new random fighters or young talents appearing in external promotions like the WFA.
External Signings: Conduct scouting to discover and recruit these new talents or free agents, adding extra strategic depth to your roster development.
Additional Features to Enrich Gameplay:
Interactive Press Events: Pre- and post-event press conferences where your answers affect the event's popularity and fighters involved.
Achievements and Internal Challenges: Specific missions or challenges (e.g., "Create an event with record-breaking attendance") to drive engagement and reward targeted accomplishments.
Detailed History and Advanced Stats: Comprehensive historical performance records of each fighter, allowing strategic matchmaking based on real data.
Much of the development could leverage the existing Career Mode, adapting and expanding already available features to streamline implementation.
A UNIVERSE MODE would significantly increase game engagement, enhance offline entertainment, and substantially boost the hours spent playing. Players would enjoy a deeper, more strategic, and realistic experience, notably extending the game's longevity.
If you like this proposal, let's comment and like this post to reach out EA Sports and make our voices heard. The more community support we gather, the higher our chances of seeing this mode implemented.
What do you think of this idea? Would you add or adjust anything else to make it even more appealing? Looking forward to your feedback!
