    PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

    As far as what I know, nobody wanted this.

    None of the fellow GCs wanted this.

    Based on all of the responses on Twitter, Reddit, OS, I can confidently say the community is not a big fan of this decision, and I believe a good way to get EA to recognize this, is to sign a petition.

    When you buy a UFC Game, you're looking to fight fellow licensed fighters. You may be looking to re-enact the epic fights that have helped grow the company, try to emulate the fighter you enjoy watching, etc etc.

    Mirror matches happen, but even then players generally play differently from one another to begin with, and of course, gameplanning as well

    All of that gets thrown out the window when you choose a Roster Fighter and you end up fighting Pennywise with some vulgarity tatted on him.

    CAFs have no right to be in Roster Ranked Championships, at most, there should be:

    A Ranked Championships with just the Roster Fighters

    A Ranked Championships with CAFs.

    Sign this petition, and let's keep things going in a positive direction for this game.

    Re: PETITION TO REMOVE CAFS FROM ROSTER RANKED.

    UNLESS YOU ARE UNDENIABLY PASSIONATE ABOUT CAFS IN RANKED, AND WOULD NOT BUY THE GAME WITHOUT THIS, SIGN THE PETITION!

    This absurd decision to include CAFs in ranked does SEVERAL THINGS:

    1. It completely disincentivizes the use of realistic gameplans and strategies (why play realistically if you’re matched up against Lord Voldemort). Expect hellish levels of spam, and the relentless pursuit of cheesy, “win at all costs” tactics from higher level players whenever we get matched against a CAF user, simply so we can get the atrocity of a fight over with as quickly as possible.

    2. It completely destroys the integrity and feeling of “realism” in ranked play. All sports games have an online mode for competition between REAL teams/fighters. NBA 2K, NHL, FIFA, Fight Night, you name it. UFC 4 will be the first major sports game in history to break this trend and allow movie characters to compete against official, licensed athletes in online ranked play.

    3. This directive will allow for POSITIVE CHANGES IN OTHER AREAS OF THE GAME:

    a)Offline CAF users will no longer be limited in their editing capacities simply to make sure their CAFs are “eligible” for ranked play - something most CAF enthusiasts never asked for in the first place!

    b)Ranked mode can perhaps be revamped to allow for separate modes: Roster Only, OR Mixed. But again - even if this isn’t immediate - RANKED PLAY MUST BE ROSTER ONLY

    4. And lastly, in case you’re really passionate about using a CAF online... YOU CAN STILL USE CAFS ONLINE in quick match. This proposal will NOT remove your ability to create, and play with CAFS online!

        I am for this petition. I think ranked online matches should only be with real fighters. If you must have CAF’s then make them have their own separate online ranked. UFC fighters should not be disrespected by fighting against fictional characters or what ever you would like to call them.

          I disagree as it will be cool to see our own avatars compete against licensed fighters in ranked. I think it's a great choice and is inclusive. Can't sign this but good luck

            We’re not saying that wouldn’t be cool - we’re just saying that there should be a separate mode for that.

            Our stance is simply that there needs to be a ranked mode for roster fighters only. It’s just a classic staple of MMA gaming that shouldn’t be removed.

              Agreed. I think it's a cool idea too. I want to see our CAFs compete against licensed fighters in Ranked.

              And I don't think splitting the player base with two separate ranked modes is a great idea at all.

                This is absolutely a necessary thing. If EA truly wants to create a realistic game as they have so stated, then this is the first step. Remove created fighters from competitive play; there's a reason that most tournaments in UFC 3 are being hosted with regular fighters instead of created ones. Let us EXPERIMENT with the brand new roster instead of making us create our own fighters if we want to be competitive.

                  They are not making you create a CAF to be competitive. The very top fighters in a division will still have higher stats than CAFs. CAFs are LIMITED now. Not like they were in UFC 3, all maxed out.

                    If people are making realistic looking CAFs, its manageable and could still be kind of immersive.

                    Until you fight 100 spidermans in ranked because everybody thinks they are being unique in doing so. ��

                        Why does that matter? Wasn't a huge point of promotion in this game the realism? How is this more realistic? All it does is ruin the immersion of the game.
                        Why should I have to use the top fighters in ranked to be better than some made up created fighter that's never fought a day in their life? Why should I have to use Petr Yan in order to beat someone using Batman in ranked?

                          To be fair, I can't remember EA ever promoting that this game will be hugely realistic. They know what they're doing and who they're catering to. It's a business, and they're trying to make money.

                            This is a quote directly from GameInformer.
                            "This has allowed us for the first time in this entire franchise to do two-man recording sessions," Hayes says. "Without getting into the reasons why that was not possible previously, being able to do it now allows us to get a lot more organic, a lot better chemistry between both commentators. So the reaction to big moments that happen in gameplay is that much more realistic, authentic, and immersive for the gameplay."
                            What about this is realistic, authentic, and immersive? Why was there such an emphasis on adding RPM to takedowns and clinches if you're going to throw real out the window?
                            For that matter, I'm aware of what EA is doing. That doesn't mean it doesn't suck.

                              Some kind of mechanic, assist or limitation on how to customize the cafs so that we dont run into spidermans and ronald mcdonalds in ranked could be a good way out of this, idk just thinking out loud
