Could we have the option to turn off the longevity meter in career?

Nice. I have about 10 fights, too. And I'm in the 80s. Guess I took more damage than you. A KO and a few health events. Lovin' it.

[Solid_Altair]

I mean, you always end up with 40+ fights minimum and you max out everything by then usually. There so much more that’s gamebreaking than that in career mode tbh.

Like how how all fighters eventually end up being 99s at everything at 50 years old. It’s just a mess. Even FNC had boxers retire.

The longevity meter should be toggleable once you beat career mode and they really ought to look into ways to make it possible to regenerate the meter, not fully, but a respectable amount.

For example:
- GSP taking a few years off to come back and smoke Bisping.
- Anderson Silva's lengthy recovery and return after Weidman II.
- Cain's various time off.

Basically there should be ways to rest and recover if you've been battered too much.

That way dudes can lengthen their career like Vitor Belfort, or go in hard and fast like Mcgregor, back to back fights like Cerrone.

Introduce a little long term management and planning into it.

If your meter hits 0, perhaps you gotta retire for 4 years and go do some no gi, or kickboxing, or something else for a bit, get some health back and try out for the UFC again.

Think dudes like Robbie Lawler, Anthony Johnson, Ben Askren etc.
