Its a chicken or the egg thing. Credit to THQ when it comes to the WWE series. They didnt have surveys that showed a huge demand for a universe mode.

They didnt know it would be a success but they took a chance and now its one of the most popular modes in the WWE series.

Thats all I'm asking for. Use the resources that are present in the series and create a small universe mode. No need for contracts or injuries or similar aspects in the first attempt. Start small and build from there. With that said, ive been a GC for 3 development periods and there has been 0 movement toward this so I'm not optimistic.

Same goes for CAF sharing. The legal issues alone will make that difficult especially given EA's history with the NCAA football lawsuit.

What do you think the differences are between EA's stance on CAF sharing and say NBA2K's stance on community downloading?

You can download all sorts of stuff in 2K. Is it just a matter of one company willing to take on all potential litigation and another simply isn't?

I am far from put off by the passion of our fan base. If I was I wouldn't be here, unfortunately the intended tone was lost in the text. I should have added an emoji

C'mon, now..... you know you gotta accompany sarcasm/dry humor with "lol" when it comes to text.

Sky net...I am not going to quote you because it was a long post, but thank you for the thoughtful response. I am actually finally going to pick up the game this weekend if I can find it on sale. You guys have added enough to the roster I feel I will get my money’s worth.

I would like to ask a question if I may, although I will understand if you can’t answer. But is there any chance we may see improvements to event mode through a patch, or is this pretty much what we are left with for UFC 4? I am exclusively an event mode guy and I like to book my own events and run my own cards. It has had nothing added to it since it debuted in UFC 2, and it has become quite stale.

I will give you fair warning right now, then: there's a nasty bug in event mode right now where the stats and settings of the first fight and fighters are persisting through the later fights. We have identified the bug responsible, but it's a nasty one to fix. 100% on the radar and hopefully squashed soon, but there are some shenanigans going on in event mode right now. Only work around is to exit the event and re-enter on each fight, I'm afraid.

As for new things coming to event mode in the patches, I doubt it. Nothing directly targeted at it anyways. Maybe some of the custom fight sliders? Not sure what else be able to add if even those, given the resources we have available right now. It has persisted in its current state because it still had value as is, but we were unable to dedicate resources to improving it. It still has a cost in simply maintaining it from one title to the next for sure, so I'm glad it wasn't removed...

I would like that, along with adding it in tournament mode

Fair enough.

What do you think about the chances of TBS? That might be easier to do and the benefits are many fold. That said I was surprised when skynet said he wants it in.

I have no idea but there have been more GCs pushing for that behind the scenes and there has been zero movement toward that in the games they have released.

Maybe UFC 5 will be the turning point but i have no idea.

Thanks for the honest feedback and the heads up on event mode. So as long as I exit and re-enter the event after each fight I should not have a problem with this bug correct?

One, EA as a company has been sued before and spent hundreds of millions on defending and eventually settling that NCAA lawsuit. I'm sure they (and their insurance carrier) are a bit risk averse after that.

Two, 2k seems to be willing to take the risk.

I gave up on exchanging fighters, because I think EA will not dare due to the legal problems that this can lead to, what I do not give up is wanting him to increase his space to save my CAF, it will be my constant fight, the Do not stop asking for this to happen, since 22 is very little, dreams with much higher amounts, seeing as other games such as AO tennis that can create more than 800 tennis players 🤪

Offline Universe Mode players are the Rodney Dangerfield of this community. No respect.

Correct. And I'm hoping it gets fixed soon regardless. I've been pestering those who can see to it that they do so.

Is there a known issue with the entrances getting automatically skipped after the first fight? After the first fight, it just skips to the ref asking then if their ready instead of showing the walkouts.

Just an FYI in case it isnt just me.
