Why does Fifa 17 have a Story and UFC doesn't?

[manliest_Man]

Where's the logic behind it?

Who gives a damn if you had a rough childhood and you grew up to be a footbal player..If EA put those resources in a genre that mattered,maybe the UFC franchise would grow larger from their video game..


I mean just imagine the possibliites of having a story/carreer in a UFC video game.Don't get me wrong,i loved Undisputed 3 career and it felt meaningfull despite being generated content,that was done right unlike this game,but a scripted story would fit the UFC,so much more.

Having someone growing up in a ghetto in Brazil,having street fights as his backstory,then training and becoming a UFC champ and a legend. It would be so much better if they spent their resources into puting a story in a fighting game like UFC...

Please make it happen!We know EA has the monopoly on MMA games for this gen,please put some resources into making a proper UFC game with a proper offline Story and offline gameplay.

Are you being ironic? Certainly you know the amount of $ and effort into stupid non-game play things like this are a sunk cost. The marginal fan that cares is exceeding overwhelmed by those who would be put off by any resources that story-telling would take away from any other aspect of the game.

What resources?Selling a game for 70$ covers that cost and brings guaranteed x3 ammount of profit.Them wanting to make x6 ammount of profit for something that doesn't deserve it,is not our concern as consumers.

Why non-gameplay?I am saying put some of the money into making a story/campaign for UFC.They obviously aren't going to remake the whole ignite engine and the whole gameplay,so why not put some effort into making a campaign with their new UFC game?

Why are we even talking about cost and resources?That's my complaint,why did they waste all those resources into making a campaign story for a football game,instead of a game,where people might actually care about the story...It fits so much more to have a story in a fighting sports game than a football sports game..

All i am suggesting is,since they got the engine down and they aren't spending any money into making a new game engine,why not spend some of their resources into making a campaign story for a genre that matters instead of football.

I'm also certain two different teams work on the two different games. Different visions, resources, etc

Isn't it new to 17? I personally have no interest in it at all, but it could be neat for those who like that stuff.

If it's brand new game mode it's understandable to not be in current game.

Its the most popular sport in the world, they probably make more in digital sales than this entire game has made in total.

Re: Why does Fifa 17 have a Story and UFC doesn't?

who cares about stupid stories, they never work, they waste your time with stupid, idiotic cut-scenes. I have never seen a cut-scene I liked in a sports game, waste of time and resources. EA should focus on making the game look realistic and clean the gameplay, why does UFC Undisputed 3 looks more realistic and believable than their game? add the PrideFC ring they had and the Japanese rules. when the game is complete and gives you the real MMA experience, than you can start developing a dumb story that everyone will ignore.

Because nobody wants a storyline for an MMA game, it would be stupid.

Fifa has been around since 1994, probably before you were born.

EA UFC has been around 2 years.

Not really a comparison. Fifa probably needs something like this to freshen it up. It's not needed in UFC currently, there are more pressing issues.

One thing is I'm not sure how adaptable it is to mma, looked like that guy had a nice place when he got signed.

For it to be accurate for a new mma fighter making 8k/8k or less you'd probably have to include a full time job in the game and you'd probably have to love at your parents.

I don't think the ufc would like there name attached to that, lol. It's kind of sad when I think about it.

This. FIFA has been around for so long, they can only improve so much gameplay or run out of ideas for new gameplay modes. So I guess they took a gamble with this story mode.

I'm not really sold on the mode yet. The story mode could be a lot of fun if it has a intriguing story, but at the end of the day it is unlikely that anyone plays it more than once. I think it carries little replay value.

Until the EA UFC games are stacked with solid modes and superb gameplay, I don't really care for a story mode featuring a (most likely) generic story thats all comparable to some badly written movie.

Wake up people.. I am not saying it would make this game a lot better by adding a story to it. I am just saying,why would EA waste resources on making a Story Campaign for a Football game instead of a Fighting game.

It makes no sense to have a story for a football game.
It won't sell FIFA 17 to anyone,because they added story..

On the other hand,UFC could easily be sold for more if it had a story to give some sort of meaning to the solo offline.


I know that at the end of the day those are sports games and all we care about is playing against another player, but since they took the dumb initiative to spend money on making a Career for a Football game that doesn't need to do that and noone asked for it to be done, after doing that,how do they justify not having a story for a game like UFC that kind of needs it to sell?

FIFA could get to be 100 years old for all we care or get billions of players in it,it just doesn't make sense to give it a story.

You're calling it a "story" mode for reference, but it's not a story mode. What you'll get is the same career mode there used to be, except with more cutscenes that serve no purpose except for immersion. It was already there. You're acting like it's the first time EA is presenting some rechewed version of something existing as a "new" feature.

You're right that they can expand the career mode by adding press conferences. They should be skippable, given that 90% of players would just skip them, but will increase the special nature of the mode, where now it's just a sequence of other modes.

I don't think you "get it." Fifa has been around for an eternity. As someone else pointed out, the whole story aspect makes it fresh at this point. For fifa this makes perfect sense.

EA UFC is still trying to get the core mechanics right, Fifa pretty much has everything nailed down. They have a player mode, manager mode, online mode where you play 11 vs 11.

At this point a story mode in the UFC games does not make sense. There's loads of features that people want to see more, universe mode, pride etc still a lot to work on.

We had a story mode in the fight night games and while it was cool at the time, one of the cool things about MMA games is making your own story in career mode, some people like to go undefeated their whole career, some people don't mind losing (i like the challenge) having tough fights, exciting fights, earning that title shot.

A story mode in MMA games means we all have to play in the same weight class, a chain of events will all happen the same way. Personally I like the freedom of playing career mode the way I want but a few games down the line...hey they may be able to do it in a cool way.

For now, I just wanna see a fully fleshed out career mode, excellent AI, universe mode etc.

Re: Why does Fifa 17 have a Story and UFC doesn't?

Did you guys played a career mode in 2kNBA series? It's really fantastic. There is a story line and many animation cut scene. but how about a career mode in EA UFC2? It's absolutely terrible. I don't know about need to a story mode but i'm sure that we need some animation cut scene in a career mode like 2kNBA, EA MMA. If you can do that trash talking or taunt in the weigh-in, Post-fight Press Conference cut scene, it will be really fun!!
