Fighters don't retire in career mode...

[Mister_No_Name]

...So I have noticed that in career mode fighters don't retire.

I started a career with the women's banteweight. At 18 years old...16 years later I'm fighting Cat Zingano who is 50. Rousey is 45 and Beth Correia is 49 lol.

Everyone in the top 10 is at least 35.

Yeah I absolutely hate that decision.

I refuse to even play career mode because there’s no immersion

And they look the same, and conor has the same body for featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight. Haircuts never changes, etc.

in UFC 1 they had dates and rankings
UFC 2 they had rankings
UFC 3 they have neither, which leads me to believe they know it kinda looks weird when you're at UFC 300 and Mark Hunt and Yoel Romero are on the card as contenders.

My guess is that they'll work on making it better for UFC4. I would like to see career mode start a few years in the past, that way you'll be an up and coming star when the present year roll by.

They should just leave Career mode out of the series from now on. The first Career was awful, the second was practically an insult. Next to no effort went into it at all.

The third ain't that much better.

Yeah, this game/sport is made for a mode catered managing and controlling an entire camp. You can have dozens of fights and still be in year one or two.

This is interesting. I’d like to see if fighters fight like 20 year olds when they turn 60!

It's not realistic, but it's certainly more fun than defending against CAFs with 100 in every stat in UFC 2.

I much perfere it like this. Theres 200 fighters in the game, more than enough to fight in multiple weightclasses against fighters people are familar with.

I get fighting CAFS early in your career...that makes sense. The last game sucked when all the big names would retire before you could fight them. The end of career in UFC 2 was boring as hell fighting nothing but CAFS.
