Re: Career mode thread-List your Bugs and improvements needed here!

As everyone's been saying the training partners are the most annoying part of the mode for me. Why is my sparring partner actively trying to KO me in BJJ training or my boxing partner taking me down?

Getting stats like ground reversals up is near impossible because the AI will happily do nothing for two minutes unless I dare to throw a strike, in which case it's Demian Maia time.

I've said in another thread that I'd love to have hitting a partner with pads would be an ideal middle ground between the heavy bag and sparring but not sure how/if that can be implemented in this game via patch. For now at least make the sparring partners not act like they get extra money for being frustrating.

Also can move evolution boosts be more focused on our core movesets? Tired of seeing cage superman punches or some other s**t I don't have as the boost.

Initiating rivalries is something I thought we'd be able to do a bit more organically. It's still super passive at the moment outside of doing it through the KO'ing invite a fighters. Let me call out someone above me and talk my way into a fight.

Also, once you're champion, you basically never get called out which is kinda absurd. I should see pretty much everyone try and call me out on social media and the game can let me choose to ignore or fight them.

1. Female fighters have mismatching shorts and tops. My fighter has blue shorts and a plain black top. Opponents often have the white X-strap top and black shorts.

2. I got a mandatory promotional event ('UFC World Tour' I think) that required 100 days. But I only had 95 days available because a sponsorship automatically takes 5. Money is useless, so I didn't even notice if I got fined for not being able to do it, but still.

3. As previously mentioned, sliders are not working at all in career mode. I really hope this gets fixed soon.

4. Sparring on higher difficulties is an un-fun chore. Sparring is more challenging than actual fights, but not the good kind of challenging. Sparring partners are just annoying and cheap, reading inputs to dodge everything and running away so you can't level your moves. I hope they get tuned.

5. It'd be nice if we could get pro difficulty for career mode, or maybe a version of legendary that just lets you fight legendary AI without all the extra restrictions (no restarts, no HUD, etc.).

6. More opportunities to go up and down in weight class would be greatly appreciated and add some much-needed variety to a career.

Try my sliders on career mode - they are not perfect yet but have certainly made my fights a bit more interesting and I even lost one by decision!:

Difficulty - Hard
Grapple assist - Hybrid
Accelerated clock
Player stamina cost +3 cpu cost +7
Player damage -6 cpu no change
Player submission -1 Cpu sub +1
Cpu transition +2

Let me know how you get on.

Re: Career mode thread-List your Bugs and improvements needed here!

Here's a bit of what I've noticed after a few careers.

Unless I'm missing something, the only way to move down a weight class is to lose 3 times in a row. Would like to be able to go up or down whenever.

As others have stated, the training partners are ridiculous. I've had to start changing the difficulty down for training and back up for the actual fights.

The "world tour" promotional requirement seems to only show up when you have a sponsor and are unable to spend 100 on it.

Callouts are indeed a huge missing feature. I even thought they announced this somehow, but seemingly failed miserably to implement it properly.


Rivalry system is definitely better (thought in 3 it was simply horrendous) but pointless as there's no callout system. So you got rivals and "interact" with them. You just... don't get to fight them. Genius, EA... Befriending them - basically just getting a discount - is equally pointless, because whether you win or go 0-10, you have a metric ton of money to pay for it.


And on legendary it's indeed very hard to train those reversals. I do enjoy the training sessions and like how it's difficult. In 3 you just 100'ed every stat before you even hit top 10. Yawn. At least here it's challenging. So that gets an up from me. Thàt and the invite system - though not optimal - are really good additions. Hope they tune them somewhat as you practically have to use it perversely to make it enjoyable (NOT actually learning the move so you don't lock them out as an option).

I doubt we'll see training pads. That'd be too much effort (understandable imo). Though they might've created the meshes for the background trainees. Not sure. But so many small changes they can make without much effort that could make it waaay better.


But my expectations were very low, and we got something decent, so I'm not complaining too much.

New Bug in Career-You can no longer view your moved during sparring. It defaults you to your sparring partners moves and you are unable to view your own.

Bug-When post fight replays comes up it shows your fighter entering the cage with whateber damage he took during the fight. He should be entering unblemished

Tournament mode bug-No music for fighter in the blue corner during entrance-Records do not update after each fight

Bug-When you learn Kneebars level 1 even though you have a kneebar from stacked too it does not allow you to perform it in training or during a fight

Re: Career mode thread-List your Bugs and improvements needed here!

Since the patch you can no longer view your moves in training or during the fight I believe it shows the opponents moves. So now I no longer have Leg Locks, Unorthodox Chokes, shoulder Locks, and all my submissions thst I do have are now 1 star. I can no longer complete training that requires these moves nor can I use them in a fight as they are now gone. I do not know if this is just existing Career save files or not but this literally makes the mode completely unplayable now. There are so many bugs in Career mode at this point I am just going to hace to put it down until we get a Career patch. Go check your moves during the fight, especially submissions, and check them during training and you will see they are gone or moved down to 1 star if you have leveled them up.

Didn't they explicitly say you wouldn't be fighting 60 y/o opponents anymore?



Who would have thought.

Yeah it's not like there's a dozen other threads where you can talk about gameplay.

It's not like you've made this exact comment in almost every thread that's not about balancing ranked play, and then go on to cry about people derailing your own threads when they don't agree with you. Just grow up man.

This is the case for a lot of subs unfortunately.....I am glad someone else noticed it

Yeah if you start a career with a roster fighter they start with their age...meaning Werdum starts at 43....which is terrible....I wish they just did not acknowledge age because the other problem is guys like Anderson retire before I can fight them in Career......If they just did not acknowledge age it would fix this

It's not about starting a career with a roster fighter, it's the fact that you still have to fight opponents that are 60 years old. I remember someone from EA explicitly saying they fixed this.

Re: Career mode thread-List your Bugs and improvements needed here!

I wish there was a way to learn moves earlier in your career. I thought it'd be interesting to play through career with a fighter using the snap jab and looping cross, instead of the regular jab and straight animations.

But it turns out you can't even learn the snap jab and looping cross until you're a champion in the UFC. By which point the regular jab and straight will have been leveled up, so why even bother?

And I'm pretty disappointed the Sniper fighter type doesn't start with a celtic cross in career mode, considering it's in their default moveset for other offline modes.
