Do the developers even understand how rankings work?
Usually when you're champion you fight the #1 contender. In UFC 4 you fight the #7 contender lol. Just because it happened once with Michael Bisping doesn't mean it's the norm.
But since UFC 4 career mode is just copy & paste from UFC 3 career mode, I can understand how that's a holdover. Because in UFC 3 the fighters were a bit static in terms of their moves (but not stats) so you would have power move fighters constantly floating near the top of the UFC 3 rankings. The problem is that UFC 4 is just a copy & paste job with different training.
Bring back a hud for clinching, & buff move evolution points earned in training simulation. Or just add an option for adding points in the advanced settings menu which was also copied & pasted from UFC 3.
Also fix the advanced settings menu on hard mode.
This game is a broken mess. I wish I could refund it.
