Career mode def needs an overhaul. It should be just that, and feel like it.

Start as an amateur, become a pro, either sign for TUF or another organization, work your way into being offered a contract with the UFC, can accept at current value, or decline, make a bigger name for yourself and get a higher value contract, if you lose during that period, then win a few more in a row, get another contract as final offer with lower falue than the starting. At this point you go into more details. More in-depth training and sparring, , once you hit main card status, start to make a name for yourself.

Choose how you act, if you're the loud mouth like Conor, or a quiet guy like Pierre, how you act before/after a fight determines how fast you rise in the ranks as well as how exciting/boring of a fighter you are, and how many fans you earn. Add in weigh-ins, social media, press conferences.

As far as actual gameplay, striking needs a huge overhaul, grappling is good in ufc 2 so I'm glad to see GPD taking this up now. Let's make the main emphasis on movement and timing. Get rid of the combo multiplier, or if you keep it, lessen the % and make it to one area. Punching the body twice shouldnt make my legs or head take more damage. Remove parry or improve it. Parrying a jab shouldnt allow for a free headkick or such nonsense. Nor should you be essentially stunned and at the oppenents will for x seconds. You parried my jab with my lead left. My right hand isnt locked in place, I can still block with it. A fight shouldnt consist of someone walking forward, hands up blocking, spamming parry for a free kick or overhand. It should be about landing that perfect shot, slipping and countering, or wearing your oppenent down with pressure and volume.

Lets add more cage work as well. Default clinch shouldnt be thai against the cage either, doesnt look right. Especially when the fighter doesnt even have the thai clinch option outside of single collar transition. Add cage walking for getting up, you somewhat have it now with over under when near the cage, but Id like to see the cage sitting, on your ***, back to the cage. Could allow the dom to go for mount or a submission, along with just regular striking, and the sub to scramble to get up or try and reverse and sweep.

Standng guillotine would also be nice, as well as the addition of a few more subs. It would also be cool to see some subs have a way to break out thru force, triangle esspecially, people have been slammed before to get out. If limb damage has no affect on the gate speed or how fast a transition for a sub takes, I say remove the part where subs turn a body part red. How does getting put into an arm triangle, and breaking out on the last gate(or being let out) make it so 1 punch will KO me?

And lastly, 2 things. Fix the movesets and stats. Claudia Gadehla and Michelle Waterson, as well as a few others, have the omaplata from rubber guard, but cannot get into the rubberguard transition. Amanda Nunes, has a 69 TDD stat. The next lowest is like 80 for the lowest rated WBW... how can that be right?

Ultimate Team. Fix matchmaking, fix athleticism for styles, chin and body are horrible if anything but a boxer. Add more hair styles, beards, tattoos etc. Make it a little easier to improve your stats without needing to spend money. Ive played since release and my highest rated fighters are 91-92. For Ground moves, have the cards tell what new moves are added. If I go from default wrestling transitions, to level 5, what do I get? What sweeps do I get upping my wrestling or bjj? I still don't know what ground or sub move gives you the counter guillotine reversal from sprawl, or the takedown reversal into a takedown? What lvl moves gives you rubberguard, or the side control from rubberguard?

Oh, one more thing. Make the ref actually do something. Add stand ups after XX seconds if nothing is being done to improve position or only baby strikes thrown. Lower the speed for how fast people are busted up, add the rare chance for doctor stoppage due to cuts, or remove that commentary. Hearing how the fight should be stopped cause someones face is hanging off is pointless when nothing ever happens. Make leg kick checks damage the kicker, if checked too much they risk being injured(leg health event) or breaking their leg. ADD DRAWS and fix judging!
