How did this career mode make it into a AAA 2018 title?

[raypace1]

Career mode in this game is shameful...thq and yukes had a great foundation for career and that was several years ago... I was sooo disappointed when I got the news that EA was going to be doing UFC games and they haven't proven me wrong yet... Gameplay and graphics seem great but career is ACTUALLY WORSE than madden... I didn't think that was even possible..

Yeah I've been wondering that since launch.

Coz its waste of money. Most people play career only once.
Better spend money for additional animations or gameplay mechanics

some animations like the media day and Weigh-in
i think they also can use on Custom EVENT MODE
Not only career mode, if EA TEAM know how to do
Or the new champion challenge Offline mode
Or a new historical review mode
even fight now mode

if they want , animations can use Anywhere
even have an animation mode

People forget how misleading the career mode was in the trailers, everyone was ultra hyped for it.

The AI has made significant improvements, but career is still pretty bland. I hope in the next iteration they don't force you to be a trash talker to achieve goat status or have requirements like "finish your opponent in the first round.."

What exactly was any better about THQs career mode?

They've all been trash IMO.

I remember seeing the trailers and people would see something like a weigh in in the clip and say "They have interactive weighins in the game!" or "I bet you can miss weight in the game". I remember sitting here and thinking......"some people are going to be very disappointed".

Sure EA couldve released a trailer without those elements or a big clip that showed those elements in complete context but part of the fault lies with people jumping to conclusions.

Completely agree that there are areas where Career mode could be improved though.

I don't blame the devs here, just EA execs being EA. I'm sure there was only so much of the budget that could be allocated and they did the best they could. We all know EA has openly talked against single player and wants most of their efforts on their UT. I hope most of the budget wasn't on this year's UT though because it seems like a huge bust.

Its just like the amazing Spider-Man 2 trailer. With the big showcase ofna potential fight beween spidey and rhino, when you show something like that without its true context its deliberately misleading. It shows all these things as if they are major part of the mode, when infact they are so minor and are just animations.

I wouldn't go as far as to say it's deliberate misinformation. But if you're getting large amount of people responding to your commercial, going; "oh it looks like X is in the game!" when it's not, then you've done something wrong along the way.

If a few people do it, then it's on them. If enough people do it then you have a No Man's Sky on your hand.

Can’t really put the blame on the community because it was something we asked for thought we were getting and we basically got nothing

It can be construed that way. The focus of the trailer shows the importance of rivals, short notice fights, promoting and performing. https://youtu.be/17N01tpPTfQ
Does this resemble anything we got or is the trailer intentionally vague and misleading.

Actually....it isnt that misleading. So everything in the first :45 is in the game and not misleading. At :45, it shows Megan Olivi and the UFC minute and a press conference. Now, the press conference clip actually appears in the proper context. Thats how it appears in the game as part of the UFC minute.

With that said, its not unreasonable for someone to see that and say "Oh ****! There are interactive press conferences" but you cant really say that based on that clip, EA lied to you. Dont get me wrong, they've lied in the past...just not here.

The worst part of career mode is that the cpu champions in every weight class NEVER change which absolutely kills any immersion what so ever.

I will always play through career mode more than once. Half way through my latest (third career mode) I was getting impatient and bored of it. I will continue to play because I feel like its designed to help you combat certain techniques in game. Fighting vs a Maia certainly helps me gameplan for when I'm playing ranked vs Maia.
