Career Mode Regressions – Weight Classes, Rematches & Locked Content

I’ve been playing EA Sports games for many years across multiple sports, and a solid Career Mode has always been the foundation. While everyone understands Career Mode doesn’t usually get massive overhauls, the clear expectation has always been that new versions would add features or at least keep existing ones — not remove them and make the experience worse.

In UFC 6 this is exactly what has happened, and I genuinely feel like I’ve been robbed of my money.

Main issues:

1. Weight Class Progression (major regression)
   Fans have been asking for years for the ability to cleanly move up through three weight classes, as this happens constantly in real fighters’ careers. Not only does UFC 6 still not allow this, it actually took away the ability to properly fight in two weight classes. After becoming double champion you are forced straight back to your original division with no option to stay. Why would you remove this? It’s ridiculous.
2. Same fighter offered back-to-back
   I had to defend my world title and was then immediately offered the exact same fighter for the BMF title (or risk losing it). This would never happen in the real UFC and should be an easy fix in 2026. The constant recycling of the same opponents is one of the most frustrating parts of Career Mode.
3. Severe reduction in free moves, emotes and clothing + rotating daily store
   In previous games there was always a reasonable selection of expert moves and unique items available, with the rest on the store. In UFC 6 the base game selection has been cut dramatically (only around 5–6 emotes total from what I can see). On top of that, the new rotating daily store means you can’t even choose what you want and work towards buying or unlocking it. This is a clear downgrade.

Overall, removing wanted features and making Career Mode worse instead of better feels like a betrayal of the long-standing understanding between EA Sports and its players. Career Mode is the reason many of us buy these games every cycle. When you take features away and force us into the same repetitive fights, it doesn’t feel like a new product — it feels like a step backwards that we paid full price for.

Please fix the weight class system, stop the same-fighter spam, and restore proper access to moves/emotes/clothing.

Thank you.
