    Custom Events/Won Stuff

    Ya know, when I win a fight in Custom Events in my Universe Mode and I'm trying to immerse myself in the experience, I really hate when the "I won a pineapple rash guard and 50 coins" overlay can't be forced to go away without pressing the same button that will skip the whole scene.

    So I've gotta try and look at the championship winning moment through about four overlays that IDGAF about because ya know..stuff.

    Thanks. Hate it.

    The way presentation is handled in this game is honestly the worst I have ever seen. Walkout scenes are also basically gone from Event mode.

    How someone gave the green light on the implementation of these emotes is beyond me.

    The prefight emote.. Have they ever seen an actual fight?

    Literally every single fight ends the same way; the fighter walks to the center of the octagon with his back to the camera, no exception. Because this whole experience wasn't tedious enough for EA, they decided to make the victory scenes unskippable.

    I'm honestly lost how something like this makes it into a final product they dare to ask $70 for.

      Also, if I'm gonna win some gear, with everything they have in there I don't care about, how is it possible that they don't have things like...the actual national shorts the fighters wear?!?!?!?

      How are there racist rednecks on Martial's channel but I can't make a Brazilian fighter with yellow shorts? How? HOW?!?!?

      Not exactly related to my OP but didn't wanna make a second bitchy thread.

        Yeah man, they botched some of the presentation really badly. And the thing is....the sh*t they broke worked just fine the last time around. Why spend money and resources to "fix" things that don't need "fixing!?"

        I can't even use custom events. 1) The mode is missing custom sliders...i mean c'mon now. What a middle finger to offliners. 2) With only a whopping 22 caf slots I'm forced to have 10 different profiles to help fill out the roster which means I can't create an event with anyone outside the profile I'm using....so for me and my universe (which a barely play....i swear i play 4 less than 1/10th the amount i played 3) im resigned to custom fight now: having a fight, logging out, logging in, waiting for game to load, having a fight, logging out, logging in, waiting for game to load......repeat. Talk about sucking any sense of immersion out of things.

        Oh....speaking of custom sliders whats up with this "red corner/blue corner" idea? Why aren't sliders just set up as player/computer or player1/player 2. Doing it by red corner/blue corner means I have to readjust the sliders any time i wanna fight out of a different corner. I already spend more time staring at the game loading up than i do actually playing it because i have to bounce between profiles. So I just always fight out of the red corner cause im sick of constantly adjusting sliders....which also sucks immersion out because even if im playing as title challenger im fighting out of the red corner. So when I win, it's "annnd stilllll!" And the dude above me nailed it 100%...you can't even see the strap get placed around your waist because the you have a big *** pop up with text becoming the focal point of the presentation.

        Some really poor decision making up there in the command center.

        Broken record comment: The guy who decided to remove clinch fighting/pummeling/cage grinding needs to be demoted to errand boy. There's no rationale you can give that will excuse that load of horsesh*t.

          I love the idea of custom sliders and absolutely hate how they are implemented in this game.

          It should be more universal and then usable across all modes. Shouldn't have to keep adjusting it if I go from Fight Now to Custom Events if I don't want to.

          Also...and this will never happen...they should list all the fighters in the made up "slider settings" option that would be in the universal section of the game.

          There you should be able to give Ngannou ungodly power with terrible stamina, but leave the default setting for all the other fighters alone. You should basically be able to give each fighter character their own custom sliders, and then they automatically populate whenever you fight with or against that fighter character in any mode.

          You want Nick Diaz to be able to throw 100 strikes in a round, but don't want that to be the overall experience for every fight that doesn't include him, this would help solve for that.

          Martial Mind has done a series on his channel where he adjusting the sliders for Ngannou and Khabib to try and get the most realistic SIM version of fighting them as possible. We should be able to do that once, in the settings and then get that experience whenever we use those fighters or fight against them in all our offline modes.

          This would go a long way towards separating the offline versus online debates about what kind of experience both sides are looking for, without compromising the other in favor of another.

            Same here. The custom sliders are pretty damn awesome...which ironically is one of the things that makes event mode unplayable for me (the difference between straight PRO AI and PRO AI that has just a click or 2 down on strike freq, clinch freq and TD freq really makes a world of realistic difference.)

            Plus...the AI setup is a problem. I created Ryan Hall right and I for the life of me couldnt figure out why my AI "shark/vanguard" Hall wanted to just stand and bang with Calvin Kattar even though i was dominating the stand up....."Oh, yeah we forgot to tell you that the archetype template has nothing to do with your CAFS fighting style, you have to change the AI." Seeing as how we can't change the AI in custom events I'm left with a "default" AI Ryan Hall who's more than happy to take my back and just release to standing even though I've turned his face into hamburger over the previous 2 rounds.

            Facepalm.

            It's this overwhelming amount of crapola that undermines the actual improvements we see here and there within the game.

              Well unfortunately they've found the perfect audience, where we're all suckers for the UFC license and will buy it no matter what. Or other half who apparently don't buy video games for presentation or gameplay, they buy it for reasons I know are real but can't wrap my mind around.

              I held out for a decent while in buying EA Sports UFC 4. I know their data dictates that their strategy worked...this time. But boy I gotta tell ya, I think I'll be able to hold out even longer, possibly never buying it, for UFC 5 if I get the sense it's headed in the same exact direction as this version.

              They got me to buy it when they added Lesnar. Which was a fun moment in time. But this game gets less fun the more you play it IMO...which is an indictment of sorts.

              I have fun...sometimes. But this change in strategy from 3>4 is kind of a trick you can only pull on me once.

                The one good thing that can come from this is that they'll have a bigger budget for the next games. But tbh I don't think they're interested in putting more effort in than the bare minimum to keep the sales going.

                  Fingers crossed on that, but I'm not allowing myself to get excited again. I was salivating over 4. Between all the things that 3 did a really good job of, coupled with 2 years in between games I really thought we'd be blown away. I thought things would be built UPON, but it feels like things were built OVER.
