Is it much better this year and more in-depth? I play only offline and am trying to justify the purchase this year.

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
From what I've heard/seen. It's not nearly as randomized or dynamic as UD3. Which is unfortunate because online is great and all, but 10 years from now if no one else makes a decent MMA game, that means I'll be playing single player on EA MMA or UD3 still.
Other people probably have better first hand insight though. Hopefully I'm wrong. -

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
It's certainly better.
I've gone through a couple of careers now and enjoyed them both.
Unfortunately most of the new features are just clicks in the menus, you occasionally see the press conferences and weigh-ins and stuff. But that happens maybe 5 or 6 times in a career (probably because its similar animations and they want to keep it from looking stale)
It still really needs an interview and callout system or ability to do the press conference yourself and *really* talk trash.
A few things seem to be broken too. Dana White will tweet you saying what a fight about 15 times when you're in the 4th week of your next training camp, the rival tweet system can be inconsistent. DC was my rival and sent me bad tweets, then a nice one, then a horrible one. Didn't make sense!
Also maybe I'm just unlucky but the matchmaking seems broken in career too. I've fought Ngannou in my current heavyweight career 5 times(and never lost). there are 5 other fighters in the top 10 that I haven't had the chance to fight yert even on my fighters way up!
This seems like a massively negative reply. I didn't orginally intend it to be just got stuck on what needs improving.
To answer your question it is in depth, more than last year, but probably not as much as you want, it's still mostly all menus.
The game overall is improved - gameplay especially. But Career still needs work. And don't even get me started on universe mode.

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
It's better, but it's still fairly soulless. I like seeing my CAF in promo packages and stuff, I think that's cool. But you never really have any control over anything. You fight exactly who they tell you to fight. You don't negotiate or anything. You don't interact (I'm really not sure what the text questions are for, considering they have no outcome on anything).
I found it kind of disappointing but still decent. Your goal is to win belts in two divisions and then retire. But what if you don't want that to be your goal?
You can tell UFC was in charge of what this mode is about, because it's about being Conor McGregor, which is what they tell all of their fighters to be.Comment

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
Its alright, but its not nearly as good as I thought it would be. Everything is scripted, Ive beat it on Pro with a Womens SW. Tweets are repetitive, I was even called a man in 2 of them. Had some mention a KO win when I won by sub...
AI is a joke on the ground. Stamina management is crazy, specially at the start. The AI is godly at blocking low and loves to eat your body. If you get put in a sub, just restart, you wont escape.
Just started Legendary, first fight I got absolutely destroyed. Dropped fast, put into mount and pounded out, couldnt do anything. Next 8 fights are a joke, I’m smashing people. Just beat my first UFC rival(playing featherweigt, vs Bektic) KOd him in 1min. Win my next fight, then put against Mendes in a short notice fight.
I am forced to lose this fight. There is no way anyone, is beating this. Denies everything. Superman power, literally 2-3 shots will drop you. I’ve quit and rebooted 5 times so far and haven’t made it pass 2mins. Block breaks almost instant(Ive done nothing but train standup so I already have a 97 ovr striking, everything is 95+) Its actually pissing me off, you’re set up to fail like a scripted fight.Comment

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
Better than UFC's 2 but nothing really special, there is not much you can do by your own will besides choosing gyms.
Weigh ins and Press's are not interactive so that's a big thumbs down for me.Comment

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
I also hate the amount of fighters that max out their stats once you enter the top 10. It makes the game play so weird later on when you get to this point because it's saying that all of these fighters have virtually NO weakness. Fighters who are in the game and already rated as good strikers also end up being great grapplers by the time you get to them, so it's like what are you supposed to do to beat them?Comment

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
Same thing happened to me 13-0 fighting Jake Matthews on short notice. Already beat Barboza and Diaz and now I can’t do anything because they are making me lose. Then I drop out of the top 15 from #7

Re: How indepth is the career mode?
I got my first loss because I accidentally hit Next when selecting how many weeks of camp I want to do (when the slider was on 1 week). So I only had 1 weeks training camp in preperation for my big rival fight with Cruz, at like 67% fitness. Yeah. impossible. I could not deny a single TD and once a sub was put on I would just restart because I couldnt escape a single one. Eventually just gave up and took the L because there was no way I was going to win.
The difficulty spike after you break into the top 10 is INSANE. To the point where if you do career on Normal difficulty, it will actually be about 10 times more difficult that UFC 1 and 2 were on Pro.Comment
