Pretty useless anyway if its just going to be another offline multiplayer mode. All of these modes are useless if theyre just going to be offline because you can just agree with the person sitting next to you to only strike, or only go for subs anyways..

Waste of dev time even including these modes unless they're online.

I think they fear splitting up the player base maybe. But if I had it my way, all modes would be playable online. That way people can play what they want.

I hope you can create all of these via quick match online.

It really has SOOOO much potential for online leagues to flourish, Stand and bang = K1 League, Grappling = Combat Jiu Jitsu league. so on...

PLese bring these to online UNRANKED mode!

I really appreciate the devs for this game but I honestly doubt how many of the people that put these forwards as a couch mode, actually have people over to play these kind of games at their age.

Meh maybe I am ranting too much but I am just seeing modes I've been incredibly excited for, go completely to waste on me. Simply because the few friends I still see on a regular basis, have absolutely zero interest in MMA gaming.

They went all in on these modes giving them SnoopCast commentary and at best I'll get to fight the AI to experience it (I hate playing the AI).

The ground game already split the player base on its own, lotta people won't be back because of it and lot of new guys will just rage quit and stop playing when they run into it too. These new modes being online wouldn't hurt anything, there are more than enough people who care way too much about their records and ranked modes will always have enough players to populate them because of that.

I have no incentive to preorder or pay full price for a game when I already know I'm only going to enjoy half of it..
But if something like Stand and Bang mode happens to be online then I know I can have some fun with the game online without having to stress out if the other guys is just gonna shoot for takedowns and try to deny transitions to cheese the ground mini game, in that case i'd be happy to preorder, I enjoyed the striking enough in the Beta

Cant you just do that online too? Its not like you dont have a way to message or talk to your opponent online.

This.

This is the constant line I hear when people dont want it to be online. They argue that its tough already to get a fight after the game is out for a few months and this will only make it tougher.
