As it stands now, I think the career mode in this game is awesome. With the exception of the aging issue and the clunky menus, I think this may be the best "franchise" any sports game has to offer. Only if other sports titles like Madden, MLB and the 2K series followed suit, then we would have one hell of deep gaming experience.

But do you think it would have been better had they gone the route of the reality show, The Ultimate Fighter? It would have been awesome to have to form a team and compete for a contract among all other fighters. I think that it would add a better element to an already awesome career mode.

Thoughts?

I would say it's far from the best. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy it, but it's pretty basic in my opinion. It's just spar, train, train, rest, train, rest, rest, FIGHT, rest, camp invite, etc. I'm not really sure how they can make career mode in a fighting game like this any different though. I think it'd be nice to have injuries and much more involved training with more risk reward.
For instance, say you want to do some moderate strength training, but your stamina is only at 11%. You should be allowed to, but realize that you'll be at risk to get an injury which may take more than 2 weeks rest to recover fully from.
