Re: For those who have it, how is the career mode?

I agree with this statement. It's bare bones as heck. Offline players got jobbed in my opinion in EA UFC 2.

Career mode is about 4 hours long...There's still little parity between the CPU fighters in the mode ratings wise so guys trade losses back and forth just like last year. By the time you get to the championship ranks the majority of the real fighters are gone and retired.

There are some good things I can speak of I do like being able to sim training once you've gotten a grade you're satisfied with. The wear and tear/injury stuff is cool too. Adapative AI difficulty as you climb the rankings is a nice thing too.
