EA Sports MMA: Career Mode Breakdown

Even as a fan of EA's games I did not expect this to be the most anticipated MMA game of the year, I was wrong.

+1

THQ/UFC dropped the ball worse than any title this generation.

EA seems to be on the right track and should take home best MMA game this year.

UFC is going to need to be revolutionary for me to buy it next year.

Man EA MMA is looking wonderful. I hope it turns out better than UFC 10. I have never had a game invoke so much anger in me as UFC 10 has.

that's my biggest gripe with most of the career modes done in the past. Why are created fighters rated so low, only to be able to be built up so fast anyways? A ranking in the mid 70's is average, and I'd rather work hard towards that last 25% than unrealistically pull a guy up from the 40's in no time.

It's awful game design that should have been done differently years ago. It sounds like EA is bringing it with this game, as they're playing the underdog against the higher profile UFC branded game. Amazing what competition can do.

Now imagine if 2K/VC were in the NFL mix? Imagine what competition could've done for Madden?


Anyway, back on topic, this is what bothers me from that read...

"So after you win your title, you defend it as many times as you can in your 40-fight career (game goes by fights, not age)"

I prefer being in control of a fighter as he ages rather than only having 40 fights with CAF's. The statement above takes away from the game being realistic.
