Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

OMG... They can't be... This can't be... Serious?... I have heard EA say so many times how with the power of these new consoles there's nothing holding them back now... There are freaking games over 40 GB's and this is their weak sauce excuse? My goodness...

Seriously

So, am I wrong, or are they literally already saying "we are limited by the hardware" already in the first year of the new systems? Are we already being spoon-fed "wait until next-next-gen consoles for CAFs?"

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

They want to charge for dlc and are afraid the cafs will be more accurate. That is my theory.

They're only charging for non-current roster guys, though, so that's not a huge portion of DLC. Guys like Dillishaw/Woodley/etc. will be free, whenever they put them up.

From the quote that is exactly what it sounds like. Maybe it's an EA thing to keep games around or under 15 GB's at least that's they way it has looked so far... It's an absolutely ridiculous excuse... This isn't last gen. You can't get away with statements like that now...

aholbert32, could you tell us the size of EA sports UFC? Like how many gigs is it?

I know that's what's been said, but with EA I'll believe it when I see it. (the whole free thing)

18 GB. For comparison, the Show is 42. NBA 2k is 46. Watchdogs is 20.

So yeppp VERY poor excuse. It's what we have come to expect from EA though, so oh well...

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

LOL! Here is EA's response:



The limited number of CAF slots comes down to size allotment of the game. Within the game we had only a certain number of space to use for the roster. While the initial roster obviously didn't take up all the space we will be adding fighters to the game, both through free roster updates and DLC. Since we don't know the exact number of fighters we will add over the lifetime of the game we couldn't dedicate a specific amount of space and had to keep as much of it free as possible.

Don't know why but I gotta feeling this is gonna end up a $$$ grab for EA. Can't wait to see the amount of "Free Fighters" added vs "Paid DLC Fighters".

I'm saying it now guys........ UFC Ultimate Team type of mode will make it's way to this game.

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

I would love an UT type game mode, although I'd rather it was more like The Show's version than EA's.

The excuse given is 100% untrue. There is literally no interpretation of it that makes sense. At the very least they could have allowed multiple CAF save files.

I guess EA doesn't trust people to make their own decisions on how much hard drive space EA UFC takes up on their drive? Although I actually can see morons calling EA Customer Service to complain how their game filled up their PS4.

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

Yeah, no. There are many games that are bigger than UFC would be with any number of CAF fighters. The excuse makes literally no sense and it's obvious they hamstrung the CAF so that people would have to buy DLC fighters to fill out the roster.

And I don't even mind not being able to make DLC guys as CAF. If they want to lock down the names of the guys that get released as DLC then that's fine, I don't mind paying for good, scanned extra fighters. But not being able to make the guys that don't even make that cut (or retired guys, or fictional guys) is really just awful.

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

when are people going to learn EA doesn't care about the customer that buys their product. It's only a business that cares about $$$ that's it, as long as they make $ they will put in the least amount of work and quality to make more $$$$. They don't care what you think, in this case they limit you and force you to give them more $$$ for something that should have been in the game to begin with... why make a game with a complete roster when everyone will give them more $$$ in DLC to make a complete roster. DLC killed gaming. The goal now is to make games that will allow the most DLC $$$. The sell a game for 65$ and you pay another 35$ in DLC add that up for everyone and that's a heck of a lot of free money for them, they charge you for something that should have been there to begin with.

18 GB. For comparison, the Show is 42. NBA 2k is 46. Watchdogs is 20.

So 99-109 guys however many they have now is 18 gigs...and they had to leave all that space for possible extra guys? I'd be shocked if we got 10 more people.

Re: Total Number of CAF In-Game is 10!!!!

since we can't import them into the career mode anyway and there is no event mode. no big deal.

EA continues to screw up. Madden 15 doesn't look too good. really the only game they do well is NHL

still a big deal to me as i like to create classic guys. id rather create real fighters not in the ufc or legends of years past then make myself and go through some bogus fantasy career. I hate these modes but for those that like it at least its their. My biggest thing being a large number of caf slots was ignored. I wanted to make a lot of pride guys but it looks like 10 per weight class and multiple profiles. i dont need event mode to run my league i need a lot of caf spots. it all comes down to me not being excited about the default roster as i will run out of matches to make really quickly. if your the type of guy that can do fight now and rematch that same fight 5 times in a row till you win then my hat goes off to you. me I like to schedule 3 to 4 cards and build from there based on the results from my fights. Oh you scheduled overeem vs crocop match and old man crocop starches him ruining your plans for overeem but opening the door to his own bright future. too bad let overeem earn his way to a rematch while old man crocop takes on a fight no one could have seen him in. Kind of like when tito got a shot at rashad after choking out bader. crocop wont be old in my league though but i think we can both agree that arlovski no longer deserves a caf spot after saturday.
