Criticism of UFC Career Mode (EA Sports UFC)
The career mode feels repetitive and lacks variety. Every new character you create goes through almost the exact same story with little to no variation. There is no real consequence system. For example, if you win a fight respectfully, some fighters still become rivals or enemies without reason, which breaks immersion. Rivals or allies don't behave consistently with how the relationship is developed. Even if you build a positive connection, they randomly turn hostile after a fight. You can’t hold multiple titles across different weight classes, which limits long-term goals. There are no branching storylines or decision-based outcomes. Your choices don’t impact rivalries, friendships, or how your path unfolds. Interactions outside the octagon (like press conferences or training dynamics) are shallow and repetitive. The game lacks depth compared to other franchises like WWE games, which offer dynamic storytelling, multiple paths, and control over character relationships. The system feels like it's in a beta phase, missing the polish and narrative complexity players expect. It's demotivating to create new characters when you know the experience will be identical each time. I hope in the next ufc game you handle it better, its sucks, when i have a perfekt match without dmg, and get minus 2% in the Carrier mode, how long i cam fight.
Ruffy and Jean silva stance
EA_Mako Ruffy and jean silva stances are ridicilously wrong both have muhammed ali stance boxing stance ruffy needs osp stance perfect for him and jean silvas exact same stance is in the game jeremy Stephens stance is litarelly his same stance when he fights i hope devs see thisMake UFC 5 the best of all the UFC games.
I want to start out by saying, I was one of those people who preferred UFC 4 & 3 over 5. But, as I've played UFC 5 more and more, I've come to love it! But, what would make it "THE BEST?" What I really want to see happen, is EA put a PRIDE & a Strikeforce option in UFC5 or in the next UFC game! Who's with me on this one? Let's get them to get this done!
AI fighter adjustments
Would be cool, if they added the AI adjustments to each fighter individually, for that chosen match. A slugger in real life, you can adjust them in-game to seek more overhands and hunt for the knockout, maybe against someone who's a counter puncher, adjust defense, ect. I tried to adjust it for tournaments but when you adjust it, it's for all fighters. Would be cool to adjust their tendencies for each. Also, maybe AI figures out gameplans throughout the fight, adjusting their strategies, figuring out your patterns, making you adjust, ect. Maybe too many shots on the feet, they decide to wrestle because they know they can't hang with it. Would make things very interesting. We have the tech for it today. It would definitely add a significant layer of strategic depth and realism. * Authentic Fighter Representation: * real-life fighters have distinct styles and tendencies. Allowing players to replicate these in-game would make matches feel much more authentic. Imagine tailoring Conor McGregor's AI to prioritize powerful strikes and taunts, or Khabib Nurmagomedov's to focus on relentless grappling and ground control. * Enhanced Strategic Variety: * Being able to adjust individual fighter tendencies would open up a wealth of strategic possibilities. You could create custom matchups that accurately reflect real-life rivalries, or experiment with hypothetical scenarios by tweaking fighter behavior. * Increased Replayability: * The ability to fine-tune AI opponents would significantly increase the game's replay value. Players could constantly challenge themselves with different AI configurations, creating unique and unpredictable fights. * Tournament and Career Mode Improvements: * this feature would be especially beneficial in tournament and career modes. It would add a layer of depth to the experience, making each opponent feel distinct and requiring tailored strategies. * More realistic feeling fights: * This would lead to fights that feel more realistic, and less like you are just fighting the game, and more like you are fighting the actual fighter. It's understandable that currently, the settings apply globally. Implementing individual fighter adjustments would likely require a significant overhaul of the AI system. However, it's a fantastic idea that would undoubtedly elevate the gameplay experience.
Add Manual Retirement to Career Mode
Hey -- UFC career mode is fun, I like it. I think one (of a few) thing(s) that would really take it up an entire level in quality of life is to just allow me to retire when I want. My fighter is like 30-0, "GOAT" status, two division champion, everyone I'm fighting is old/rematches. If this was real life, he would definitely retire. I shouldn't have to wait until my longevity runs out, which could be in idk how many fights-I-don't-really-want-to-play. Would also love some more training mini games such as speed bag, jump rope drills, shadow boxing or pad work.
