Re: UFC mobile 2 dead game, 0 updates for years, irresponsible community managers

Hi, @malmal1295 !

I agree with most of your points. They can be summed up in one sentence: the game needs an update. However, I don't agree with you about the H2H mode. Although it worked poorly in the early stages, it did work. The developers received reports about the problems and shut it down to fix it.

But as you mentioned, there hasn't been an update for a while. We don't know the reason for that. All we know is that if the developer wanted to close the game, they would have told us.

    You said that you disagreed about my point on H2H, yet you admitted that they pulled the feature because it was broken and never added it back into the game ever since.

    I don't understand the purpose or point of your comment since my point that the H2H tab, H2H fighter counter and H2H rewards list are still up when there is no way to participate in H2H fights. Kindly refer to the red underlined quote from your message.

    You claimed that "if the developer wanted to close the game, they would have told us". They did NOT inform anyone through any public channels that they were pulling the plug on UFC mobile 1. They announced mobile 2 while still running mobile 1 servers, only to abruptly pull the plug on it. Kindly refer to the green underlined quote from your message.

    I've been lurking through this forum for months and all I see are comments made by you glazing the knobs of the developers and community managers while they remain completely silent whenever anyone posts questions about the bugs and issues with the game. Instead of trying to pacify everyone whenever they ask legitimate questions or call out the irresponsible developers and community managers like @EA_Kent for ignoring every question from the community about the sorry state of this broken game, perhaps you should be also trying to reach out to them and hold them accountable for doing nothing to fix or update it.

    As for @EA_Kent , we know that you're online and reading this. You posted a reply to the Sim CIty page yesterday about a server issue, yet you have chosen to completely ignore all our comments and posts on this page. Kindly refer to the embedded link in my comment as proof.

    @Markkisselev again I would like to reiterate the pointlessness and lack of meaning of your comment. Your "disagreement" was debunked by yourself in he follow up sentence written by you, which proves my point. Moreover, your laughable claim that the developers will have the decency to update us if they were planning to pull the plug on this game is provably false. The fact of the matter is that all the points I listed out in my post about the bugs and broken/missing features of the game have been left unfixed for years, and the most recent "update" we received is a nonsensical post written by @EA_Kent a month ago about "wanting to drop in" to "clarify things", which he ironically locked so that nobody could respond to it. Kindly refer to the embedded link in my comment for his joke of a post.

  • I agree the game needs a 3.0 update or might even need to shut this game down and do UFC Mobile 3 with mechanics like UFC Mobile 1. Especially with the lack of Fighters and need more like Alex Pereira, Dricus Du Plessis, Sean Strickland ect. It would also be great if we could create a fighter and have a career mode. And you guys should look at videos about what people have to say about the game, especially Martial Mind

    @malmal1295 What is more important to you: being right or finding out the truth? I'm not trying to argue with you, I'm talking about the situation as it is now. Unfortunately, there is no communication with the development team of the game itself. We can only get scraps of information and make conclusions based on them. I have the opportunity to communicate directly with both the technical support of the forum and the technical support of the Discord channel. All of them say that if they wanted to close the game, they would let us know, like they did with apex mobile and bf mobile games before. As for the closure of ufc mobile 1: the team tried to resume its development, but since the game engine was outdated, when introducing something new, something was bound to break elsewhere. For this reason, the developer decided to create a new game ufc mobile 2. And as everyone saw, the game closed not immediately, it was still supported for a long time, while we were testing ufc mobile 2. And only after the developer realized that he was ready to release a full game, not a beta version, they closed the servers for ufc mobile 1.

    @Jayballer079 agreed. There were multiple people calling EA out on this since last year and all they did about it was to delete the posts and ban the users. It's quite laughable that most of the current unlockable players are either retired or on the verge of retirement

    @Markkisselev let me ask you the same question then; what's more important to you, being right or finding out the truth? Every single time anyone comes on this forum to express their dissatisfaction with all the broken features of this game or ask the devs to update it, all you do is hop on the comments and start glazing the developers and telling people to wait, instead of reaching out to the devs and demanding answers. That's literally all you do, glaze the devs and community managers, and make excuses for them while conveniently ignoring the fact that they ARE online and responding to other pages while ignoring ours. How about you start taking your own advice and start DMing and tagging the devs and community managers demanding them to reply to the 2 years of backlogged unanswered forum posts instead of doing the whole "hurr durr let's wait guys hurr durr unfortunately they did not reply guys hurr durr" schtick like you've been doing this whole time?

    As for UFC mobile 1, you have yet again proven my point that the game was pulled WITHOUT any warning from the developers. They did NOT make any post beforehand about it, nor did they inform us about the plans to shut UFC mobile 1 while they were working on mobile 2. It takes months, if not years, to develop a mobile game like UFC mobile 2. The moment they started working on mobile 2, they should have had the decency to inform us that they were closing the first mobile game. They didn't. Not only that, they did not even allow players to transfer any of their unlocked fighters over to the new game, so anyone who wasted their time unlocking fighters in mobile 1 were completely left in the lurch because all their efforts went down the drain once the game was pulled.

    I doubt you have the humility to see the hypocrisy in your comments and honestly I don't even think you care about the game, since all you care about is to run PR for the devs and community managers while they continue ignoring us and letting this broken game rot for years.

    You don't see the amount of hidden work I do almost every day.

    I communicate with the community managers through other channels.

    I and many other players were aware that support for UFC Mobile 1 would be discontinued as the developers focused on UFC Mobile 2.

    I'm not covering for the developers, I'm talking about the situation as it is right now. My conclusions are based on discussions with the community managers of the forum and the discord channel.

    You are wrong, I do care about the game.

    @Markkisselev let's go point by point in your latest nonsensical comment.

    1. "You don't see the amount of hidden work I do almost every day."

    As far as we can tell, you are neither a developer nor are you a community manager. You are an unpaid shill. You claim to do "hidden work" with 0 elaboration on what it is. Nice try acting all mysterious with your batman facade, Mr. Mystery Man. What exactly do you do besides dissuade anyone from trying to reaching out to the developers and community managers? 

    2. "I and many other players were aware that support for UFC Mobile 1 would be discontinued as the developers focused on UFC Mobile 2."

    So you're now saying you had some kind of insider knowledge that none of us had access to? Perhaps you're a psychic? It doesn't take long to go through the forum post to see for a fact that EA did NOT use any of their official channels to inform players in advance about the discontinuing of mobile 1. All the official social media accounts for the UFC mobile game are dead too, and have been for years. You did not address the fact that UFC mobile developers and community managers did NOT inform us in advance that they were closing the game, even though they could have done so the moment they started working on mobile 2, which probably is months/years before they launched mobile 2.

    3. "I'm not covering for the developers, I'm talking about the situation as it is right now. My conclusions are based on discussions with the community managers of the forum and the discord channel."

    Kindly elaborate on your "discussions" you had with these alleged community managers of the forum and discord channel. As far as we can tell, the last time they bothered to reply to anyone on this forum was years ago. If you're basing your opinions and arguments on the fact that a community manager replied to your comment 2 years ago, congratulations, you've just played yourself. Again, you did not address the fact that @EA_Kent has been online this whole time but chose to ignore any of the posts or tags on our page while he's busy replying to other pages. @EA_Kent also made a post about wanting to "drop in" and "update" us about the game, where he said nothing about the game or its future, and he also LOCKED HIS POST SO NOBODY COULD REPLY. In conclusion, you are factually covering for the developers because you're nothing but a shill.

    4. "You are wrong, I do care about the game."

    Based on the fact that you have not addressed a single point of my criticism of your hypocrisy, you definitely do not care about this game at all. It's been abundantly clear that all you want to do on this forum is to look good for the devs and run PR for them any time anyone comes here to criticize the fact that they gave us no updates or announcements for years, despite the fact that they are all online.

    inb4: you will reply with another hypocritical comment completely ignoring any of the facts I pointed out while glazing the community managers for doing nothing, but still claim that you care about the game. (I've seen enough of your comments to know your next moves)

    I


     I'm sorry not to be disrespectful but looking back at UFC Mobile 1, It looks like there was a very poor effort with UFC Mobile 2 I had to delete the game. I'm in a UFC Mobile 2 discord and we're all hoping that the game can get a major update with smoother controls and more fighters but it's not looking like there has been any effort UFC Mobile 2, and it shows especially how much y'all update you guy's games like FC 24, NBA Live and Madden on mobile. So I believe this game is dead and y'all need to work on a new one with more features and way smoother controls and way more effort to make it feel like we're playing a UFC game

    I'm sorry not to be disrespectful but the looking back UFC Mobile 1 to UFC Mobile 2 to effort was very poor especially with the unrealistic movements are fighters feel like there fighting in water lack of fighters and why can't we ever create a fighter a have a career mode. I'm sorry but the effort shows especially looking at your mobile games like FC 24, Madden, and NBA Live you guys update all those games monthly but never can update UFC Mobile 2. I believe y'all need to shut this game down and work on a new one with a completely different overhaul of mechanics and fighters and the training system could use a lot of work. Y'all need to make a UFC Mobile 3 game because the effort in this was very poor compared to UFC Mobile 1. UFC Mobile 2 is just not it 😥😥😥💔

    @zpaglhpnw3q6 I'm gonna be real honest and realistic with you, take a look at any other mobile game under EA. A similar game with near identical gameplay/mechanics is injustice 2, which has been getting constant updates on timed events, content and characters

    UFC mobile 2, on the other hand, has been having features removed every "update". First, H2H, then the weekly rewards. It's the only game under EA that has been having features removed rather than added in over time, and the game is still a buggy mess.

    Unfortunately, despite being online every day and posting in other pages, @EA_Kent and @EA_Blueberry have been completely ignoring our posts and questions. The only alternative i can think of to force a reply out of them is by mass DMing them until they reply, even though @EA_Kent has ignored every attempt to contact him thus far.

    Hey @malmal1295

    I can appreciate your concerns, but the post you're referring to is the only information I have available on the recent updates to the game. Those updates were really just backend bug fixes that didn't include any gameplay or content updates. 

    As I said before, if there are any updates in the future I will happily share them with everyone here, but currently we don't have any news to share. I understand that you are eager to hear more about the future of the game, but right now I don't have any info to pass along. 

    Please understand that the people here on Answers HQ are not the game developers. We're happy to pass along feedback and questions, but we may not always have the answers you're looking for. I appreciate your concern and passion for this game, and I am sorry that I don't have more information to share with you right now. 

    Again, if we do have any future news or updates to share on UFC Mobile 2 we will pass them along here as soon as we can.

  • @EA_Kent it has been 2 years with 0 updates to the game. Throughout this time, not only did UFC mobile 2 not receive any updates, key features have been occasionally removed entirely such as H2H and the weekly rewards.

    Locked features which are clearly in the game are still locked such as Islam Makhachev and other characters featured in 276 and the campaign, frames that have been "unlocked" through the biweekly rewards that are unusable, fighter poses, quest pack, quest pack pieces, etc.

    Surely, in a span of 2 years, these features that could have easily been made accessible to players would have been unlocked by now, yet that is not the case.

    Past posts regarding asking forum users for input on which fighters they want added have been proven to be nothing but fluff. The 3D models for these fighters already exist in the first UFC mobile game and other UFC games. It does not make any sense whatsoever that after 2 years, we have 0 new characters added to the game despite community managers posting threads asking for user input on it.

    Referencing other EA mobile games such as Injustice 2, the UFC mobile 2 game is completely dead. I feel that EA should have the decency to inform us that they are planning to pull the plug on it, instead of continuing with the non-speak and giving us non-answers or ignoring us. 

    New features for games do not get developed overnight. It takes weeks, if not months for developers to work on them before releasing it. I cannot understand what bottleneck you are facing and why you are unable to reach out to the relevant departments to request for news on any updates that they are either working on at the moment, or have in the works in the near future with regards to our game. Had you reached out to the developers on our behalf, as a community manager should do, and enquire on future updates and their timelines, we would be having an entirely different conversation.

    With all other official communication channels either dormant or deleted, we can only infer that EA has no intention to ever update this game, and we would like a confirmation from you, as the community manager, that this game is shelved by EA for good.

    @EA_Kent i am still waiting for a reply on this comment I tagged you in a week ago. You have been online but it seems like it will take at least a dozen tags before I can squeeze out yet another unenthusiastic and empty reply from you.

    H2H is on account level 20. Yes, some new contents needed.

    There is no H2H. That feature has been missing for years even though we should be able to play it. My honest advice is to keep tagging the community managers like @EA_Kent and @EA_Blueberry until they do their jobs and start asking the developers for updates on the game.

    @Markkisselev you say that there's no reason to mass tag the community managers so how about you tell us the solution to get answers from the devs, Mr. Answer Man? All you do is tell people to wait and not do anything while the community managers and devs ditch us. How's that working out after 2 years?
